Never a truer word said (in jest I trust) - but 'Always Look on the Bright Side - could be my alternative starter tune, I guess
Or I could while away the time taking pics of round black plasticky things
Rush: Freewill
(…because it’s one of their few Radio friendly songs and it’s an expression of that moment)
You can choose a ready guide In some celestial voice If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fears And kindness that can kill I will choose a path that’s clear I will choose free will.
Without sayinganything I’d open with Suppé’s Light cavalry overture, a superb piece that really prepares the listener for something big to come. Then, still without a word, a really fast, heavy rock track before moving to a calmer prog track. Something like Gillan’s Secret of the dance from the Mr Universe album comes to mind for that first rock number. (And if a live venue rather than just radio, then thunderflashes in the millisecond between the overture and start of the rock track.)
Queen’s Radio GaGA of course would be the closing track.
