bohemian rhapsody?

Question

Bohemian rhapsody is one of my fave songs and freddy mercury (queens lead singer) was an extraurdinary astist...
I think the song is about his life and aids....
Why you ask?
Here are some reasons...
1. Mama..I just killed a man...put the gun up to his head...pulled my trigger now he's dead...metaphor for having unprotected sex wit people and not knowing he's infected..

2.mama Life had just begun and now I've gone and thowned it all away..ect...didn't mean 2 make u cry..if I'm not bak again this time 2 morow.. carry on...cause nothing really matters...

3. Its too late..my time has come..it sends shivers down my spine..bodys aching all the time...goodbye everybody I gotta go..gotta leave u all behing and face the truth..ect

4. Mama ..I don't wanna die...I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all..

5. So you think u can stomp me and spit in my eye...so u think u can love me and leave me to die!! Baby can't do this to me baby..ect..

6. Nothin really matters anyone can see..nothing really matters to me!!!!

Freddy mercury knew he had aids but denied it until the day before his death....
And he looked shriveled and really ill in the video....
What's your opinion...I'd like to know what you think about the song....I know freddy mercury once said that the song was about nothing...but at that time he hadn't admitted to having aids...(although rumors were swirling)..
.thanx....let me know what u think...

Answer 1

From the time "Bohemian Rhapsody" was released to the public, there has been speculation regarding the meaning behind the song's lyrics. One common[citation needed] misconception is that the song is a first-person account of someone with AIDS, even though it was written more than a decade before Freddie Mercury contracted HIV, and seven years before HIV was even recognized as a virus. Some believe the lyrics are about a suicidal murderer hunted by demons,[4] or depict the events just preceding an execution, pointing to Albert Camus's novel The Stranger as a probable source of inspiration. Some even believe the lyrics were only written to fit with the music, and have no meaning at all. As evidence, Kenny Everett quoted Mercury as claiming the lyrics were simply "random rhyming nonsense."[4]

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 analysing his own material, and preferred listeners to construct their own personal interpretations.[citation needed] 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?[5] ”

However when the band released a Greatest Hits cassette in Iran a leaflet in farsi was included with translation and explanations of the lyrics. There Queen states that "Bohemian Rhapsody" is about a young man who has accidentally killed someone and, like Faust, sold his soul to the devil. On the night before his execution he calls for God in Arabic, "Bismillah", and with the help of angels regains his soul from Shaitan[6].

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". That song, along with "Liar" and "March of the Black Queen", was also written by Mercury, and all three are noted for their musical similarities to "Bohemian Rhapsody."[citation needed]
