Why I choosed this topic for today's post ? Simply, I just wanna appreciated one of the most successful ever recorded songs in the world, by Queen named Bohemian Rhapsody. Hope you enjoy.
Queen, is one of the most band ive ever liked from the first time I hearded their name on the 2nd class of senior high school, from my friend's named Eva until now and forever, and I think the best 70's Unique Rock band of all time too. Why would I said that ?. My simple answer would be, just take a listen to the one of the Greatest Queen song called Bohemian Rhapsody. Iam pretty sure even if you doesn't have any knowledge about this band or even less knowledge about music, you might be able to find some Uniqe part or phrases in that song. If you're got something knows about "Rock" songs, you must be knows what is the difference or extraordinary beetwen Bohemian Rhapsody and another classic Rock song on 70's.
If you still doesn't get any or knows, but doesn't know what is that Uniqe things in Bohemian Rhapsody, let me break it down for you. But! I suggested you to listen to it first if you doesn't even know what that song's sounds like, make sure you put your earphone's on, take a comfy position, and Relax while listening to it. Remember! I only talk about the song not the movie.
Alright then I'll break it down for you, let's talk a bit about the facts behind it and I'll give you my opinions. This song was written by Freddie Mercury, Queen's band vocalist who passed away on 24th November 1991. It was the one of the quite long Rock song ever rejected by some radio station that time, cuz it has more than 5 minutes duration, but it doesn't make Queen "Surrender" to publishing that song, to make a long story short they got one radio station that accepted and played their song on that stream. According to radiox.co.uk , The first person to play the song on the radio was Kenny Everett on Capital. He played it fourteen times in two days and was in many ways responsible for the success of the single. The song contains really in depth meaning on its lyrics such as "mama, just killed man", and some great and Uniqe characters such as Galileo, Scharamouche, or even Beelzebub, and etc. You might confused what's is it talking about. And it has one of the part that you might not found in other Rock songs, and that was the amazing opera section. What a Genius brilliant Freddie And his Band mates. Then the song goes wonderfully success from the UK goes to world wide until now.
What did I said before, it has a deepest meaning than you think for the first time you hearded that. Maybe I wouldn't talk about it cuz I will just leave the link to the YouTube channel that might helps you understood that lyrics. It might better if other people explains who had really much more knowledge rather than me. Iam just a little fan that amazed by that song you know xD.
Alright I'll put down my opinion about it. Aside that song have such a Unique lyrics, and operatic section. Another things that make me amazed that's how wonderful Freddie could sing it. I mean look at the Dynamics and the typical of vocal that he put in to that song. He just like really in to that song I mean like he brings his emotion too, so It makes me feeling the same way how Freddie feels. What do I mean the vocal technique is I mean he really know when to use like falsetto, chest voice, a strongly sounded voice like the phrases "but I've gone and thrown it all away" he put his strong vocal on it. I feel really enjoyed and entertained while hearing that song. Cuz I got all the feelings like sad, angry, or even feels like iam released in to a freedom when the song's end "nothing really matters to me". And especially the Opera part I just can't talk too much, it was so amazing and Genius song ever composed. ive even got a goosebumps too.
That's why I really love Queen so much. It just one song remember, what about another Queen's songs ? They do serve not just pop, Rock song. They give us some Opera like Bohemian Rhapsody, waltz like Millionaire waltz, blues like Melancholy Blues. I might talk about it on the later poss I think that enough for now. I've typed too much emotional things :).
Thanks for your time, and Cya !
