Queen-We Will Rock You

The song We Will Rock You by Queen is a song that really means a lot to me. All four years in high school, when I played basketball, we’d run out and then begin our warm up routine while that song played. It could really get everyone pumped up. Now whenever I listen to that song I not only remember standing there by the locker room with my teammates, looking out into the crowd,  waiting for that song to play that would signal us to begin running out, but I think of all the memories I had throughout the many years I had with basketball. Some great, some not so great. But the emotional affect that that song has on me is huge. It can make me sad and make me really miss those days and realize how fast they went by. But it can also make me happy, remembering all those amazing memories and relationships I’ve made through that sport. I feel like the there isn’t one genre that is necessarily the “best” music. However, I do think that for any music to be considered “the best” it has to have an effect on you. It could make you sad or happy, motivate you, or give you some hope, but somehow the song will have some effect. The song We Will Rock You has had all of those effects on me at some point or another, and I think it will stick with me forever, and remind me of those four years playing high school basketball.
