I'm going to go outside of my usual genre of choice, and review a rock song. The song, in keeping with this time of year, is "We Are the Champions" by Queen. I bought this song around this same time of year two years ago from iTunes. It was the day before we played De LaSalle for the secional championship game my sophomore year, and I was nervous. I bought the song, sort of as added motivation so that we could continue our goal of winning a state championship. I'm no fool, and I do not think that the song won us the state championship. However, it is a song that has stuck with me over the years as an all time favorite for my connection that I make with our state run.
I like the overall message. The lyrics relate to me in a number of ways. They basically say that through all of the troubles and hardships, we are the champions. Any team with championship aspirations must have the ability to fight through extreme adversity. I like the sound of the song, but more so than anything, I like the fact that it is preaching winning.
