Bohemian Rhapsody? What does it really mean.?

Question

Freddie is such a brilliant man, and the song is the best of all time. I'm intrigued he used the word "Bismillah." Which in Islam, means, "in the name of God." Was Freddie a Muslim? I would love to know what the real meaning of this song is, and who was Gallileo?

Answer 1

he was from i believe morroco and went to private schools in england and thats where the band got together and if he was a moslem he wasnt practiceing id think also galileo was a medevil scientist and inventor like leonado da vinci and had problems with the church because of his belief that the planets like earth revolved around the sun ,, google him or bohemians they are a germanic tribe and a place in germany or like beat niks or hippys like folkes that are way out or really free thinkers and some of freddies songs are about his relations with men like a soap opera listen to the akbums as someone listening to a gay soap

Answer 2

From the time "Bohemian Rhapsody" was released to the public, there has been speculation regarding the meaning behind the song's lyrics. Some believe the lyrics are about a suicidal murderer hunted by demons, or depict the events just preceding an execution, pointing to Albert Camus's novel The Stranger as a probable source of inspiration. Others believe the song is about a draftee in the Vietnam War, his personal struggles and the ongoing protests at home. Some even believe the lyrics were only written to fit with the music, and have no meaning at all. As evidence, DJ Everett quoted Mercury as claiming the lyrics were simply "random rhyming nonsense."

Mercury was famously evasive when asked about the song's meaning. Unlike the other members of Queen, who often talked about the inspiration behind the songs they had written, Mercury disliked analyzing his own material, and preferred listeners to construct their own personal interpretations. What is known is that the song had an especially personal connection for Mercury, which was confirmed by the band's other members. Following the single's release, Mercury was quoted as saying, "It's one of those songs which has such a fantasy feel about it. I think people should just listen to it, think about it, and then make up their own minds as to what it says to them." "'Bohemian Rhapsody' didn't just come out of thin air. I did a bit of research although it was tongue-in-cheek and mock opera. Why not?"

The song is composed of six distinct sections - introduction, ballad, guitar solo, opera, rock, and an outro. This format, replete with abrupt changes in style, tone, and tempo, was unusual to rock music at the time. An embryonic version of this style was done by Queen themselves in "My Fairy King". "My Fairy King," along with "Liar" and "March of the Black Queen" were also written by Mercury and are noted for their musical similarities to "Bohemian Rhapsody
