Beginning with a peaceful, Beatles-inspired atmosphere, the track has lovely piano and sweet vocals that remain true to the original&#8217;s emotional basis. This sweet, vintage sound attracts listeners with its nostalgic warmth, until the music transforms into something far more powerful. As the music develops, it leaves its beautiful structure\u00a0and evolves into a strong hard rock composition that brings out Queen&#8217;s theatrical side. The guitars get stronger, and the musical arrangement gets more expansive , but the main melodies from the Bee Gees version stay untouched, acting as the link that connects the opposing parts. The vocal change is probably the track&#8217;s unique aspect. What begins as a pleasant approach turns into raw, 1990s-style alt-rock screams. Rather than being shocking, these vocals offer a wonderful contrast to the song&#8217;s opening, expressing inner split and rebellion without giving up cohesion. The shouting voices add a cathartic element to the song, increasing its psychological impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I Started A Joke\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XSCXDYRu1xo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blackholezion.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/blackholezion.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/blackholezion\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/blackholezion<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black Hole Zion&#8217;s cover of &#8220;I Started A Joke&#8221; remakes the Bee Gees&#8217; classic in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27229,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[365,4523,226],"class_list":["post-27228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-alternative-rock","tag-black-hole-zion","tag-classic-rock"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27228"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27228\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27230,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27228\/revisions\/27230"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
