Perhaps like most I perceived the song by the band Queen, the anthem of so many hockey nights, We Will Rock you, as a happy, inspirational song, and in a way it still is. But I found an interpretation that I feel suits every lyric and word and perhaps even the powerful melody. The lyrics to this song are quite easy to grasp and yet I think they still elude most. Many modern song productions have complicated psychoacoustics to such an extent that people mistake a word here and there or entire phrases. Some artists twist our ears even by purposely playing word games. Queen's track does no such thing. The lyrics are plain and easy to hear, and even to understand for non-English speakers. So it is a wonder that many do not understand the song to be sad and describing quite a cruel situation.
