Save me

This song talks about how intensely someone can feel love for someone else. It is not a very memorable song for the British, but the meaning of the song is interesting. When Freddie says “It started off so well” it really grasps the attention of the audience.

I think Freddie demonstrates that nowadays, people are not willing to give everything for love. The way of experiencing love has changed with time: now, people are not as romantic as they were before, and in this song Freddie reminds us of that.

I recommend you to enjoy the song and try to go back in time and feel love in a different way.

Trapped in a bottle

Queen is a rock band created in 1970 in London by the singer Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon. Their song Bohemian Rhapsody was recognized in British Phonographic Industry as the best British single in the period because.

This song is about a man who is afraid to say something to someone special. When you hear the song it seems joyful because the melody is not sad. But when you listen to the lyrics you understand that it’s about a man who’s trapped in a bottle with no escape, and is afraid to accept reality.

The meaning of this song is Freddie Mercury trying to say to his girlfriend that he is homosexual and express his sadness and fear.

Bohemian Rhapsody: a piece of art

Bohemian Rhapsody is a piece of art. Musically it is a song that can be a bit of a ballad or rock. It has different genres on a single song. It is a song where many feelings conjugate, it is quiet and from one time to another it’s hard. The lyrics are very complex: this makes the song even better. Within rock lovers or good music lovers, there is no doubt that this is one of the best songs of the genre, if not the best.

In the video, you can see how in the beginning of the song the audience is calm, and then it goes wild. In my opinion, this is the greatest virtue of this song. Bohemian Rhapsody is a song performed by the English band Queen, whose vocalist was Freddie Mercury.

It is difficult that someone could be capable of performing this song the way Mercury did. In this video, the song is performed by Elton John and Axl Rose. The great thing is that you can see two world class artists paying tribute to Mercury. This was a tribute to him from various artists after his death. Thanks to it, we can see how big and important Freddie Mercury was for music history.
