Bohemian Rhapsody (queen)

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I"m just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because I"m easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesn't really matter to me,
To me.

Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now he's dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now I"ve gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didn't mean to make you cry-
If I"m not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Body's aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-i"ve got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I"d never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But I"m just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
He's just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-can't do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....


JB and I were talking about this song and he says he doesn't like it because it has
too many up and downs, personally I like it a lot, the music and the meaning of it....and the psychological illness I assume, the 'killer' feels in this song, in parts such as 'Sometimes I wish I have never been born at all', shows that this poor boy from this poor family is nothing but a consequence of how his life was from childhood and the end is when they put him to death because of his crime.

The lyrics reminds me of some of those crimes I read in the crime library - young innocent boy gets caught up in abuse - turns out killer - put to death. With the tone of music I just can't get into it.

I really like this song along with most Queen songs. I just recently purchased their Greatest Hits CD and have been listening to their music a lot. The part of Bohemian Rhapsody that really moves me is this:

For me it truly represents how the person is feeling even though he is going through a lot of ups and downs. For some reason, one can be honest and open when communicating with their mothers, and this part of the song makes me realize that even more.

Thanks for sharing that Xander, it is nice to have another Queen fan around

The part it touched me the most is:

I was thinking in this song the other day when I read that this guy was going to be executed for killing his girlfriend and his girlfriend's daughter, he claimed innocence until the moment that they were going to inject him to kill him, his daughters were present and they were visible very upset and crying...he said to the people that were going to executed him "I did not do it. I am innocent. And years will pass and the truth will be revealed. God have mercy upon your souls". He then looked at his daughters and said..."That's okay, that's okay...I love you". And died...

Even though in the song the guy admitted the crime he comitted, he is just a "poor boy from a poor family". He does not know better and his life is going to end at a very young age. I think Freddy Mercury does an exceptional job showing the pain of this boy.
