Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen Song Info

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song written by Freddie Mercury and originally recorded by the band Queen for their 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The song is in the style of a stream-of-consciousness nightmare, and has unusual musical structure for popular music (it has no chorus, instead consisting of seemingly disjointed sections including operatic segments, an a cappella and a hard rock part) which works beyond the range of this reviewer. Despite this, it was released as a single and became a huge commercial success. Bohemian Rhapsody is widely hailed as Queen's "magnum opus", and it marked a decisive point in the band's career and set them on the way to become one of the world's most popular music groups. The single was accompanied by a groundbreaking music video (then termed a "promotional video") which helped establish the visual language of the modern music video. A truncated version of the song was included in all Queen's subsequent live concert performances (as the band could not recreate the middle section live, because of the many overdubbed voices) and still enjoys great popularity around the world. In January 1976, Freddie Mercury was interviewed by Sounds regarding the writing process of the song.: "I'm going to shatter some illusions, it was just one of those pieces I wrote for the album: just writing my batch of songs. In its early stages I almost rejected it, but then it grew. We started deciding on a single about halfway through. There were a few contenders - we were thinking of 'The Prophet's Song' at one point - but then 'Bohemian Rhapsody' seemed the one. There was a time when the others wanted to chop it around a bit, but I refused. If it was going to be released, it would be in its entirety. We knew it was very risky, but we had so much confidence in that song - I did anyway. I felt, underneath it all, that if it was successful it would earn a lot of respect. People were all going, You're joking, they'll never play it, you'll only hear the first few bars and then they'll fade it out. We had numerous rows. EMI were shocked - A six-minute single? You must be joking! The same in America - Oh, you just got away with it in Britain." In a 1982 interview with On The Record, Queen guitarist Brian May discussed the song's vocal harmonies, and creating the now famous solo. Interviewer: Who came up with the idea for the vocal harmonies used in "Bohemian Rhapsody"? Brian May: We always were keen on that kind of thing. That was something which we wanted to do from the beginning. We wanted to be a group that could do the heaviness of hard rock, but also have harmonies swooping around all over the place. We thought there was some real power and emotion in that combination. Interviewer: Was the first solo in that song very difficult for you? Brian May: No, that was pretty much off the cuff, except I think I had plenty of time to think about that one. I remember playing along with it in the studio for a while when other things were being done. I knew what kind of melody I wanted to play. John Deacon spoke about the song in a 1977 interview: "When we finished the album, the Night at the Opera album, that was the track on it that we thought we were gonna release as a single in England first. And when we released it in England we didn't necessarily think it'd be released in America, cause we know even over here, you know, the AM tastes are even more (hesitates) stricter. Anyway we did have thoughts about even in England, perhaps editing it down at all, but we listened to it over and over again and there was no way we could edit it. We tried a few ideas, but if you edited it, you always lost some part of the song, so we had to leave it all in. And luckily it took off anyway."

- 😭😭😭

Wow queen 👑 I love this song and my name is Sara an I have a crush on Chris cusack

- Horrible

This song is overplayed over rated and is by the most over rated band of all time. Queen “fans” can’t name songs that aren’t on queen greatest hits. Queen has a toxic community with horrible fans Freddie Mercury didn’t die for this crap.

- I love this

In loving memory of Freddy Mercury You guys are amazing! l saw you with my dad when we saw Queen +Adam Lambert at the concert in Jefferson St. l want to meet you in person. I loved your concert! Love, Grace (7 year old female)

- Don’t stop me now

This is amazing BUY IT also RIP Freddy Mercury 😭

- Everybody needs to love Queen

Honestly it’s like Queen has everyone’s favorite type of song they like some people think queens overrated but their just being weirdos. Freddie Mercury sung his heart out even if he was sick even when he had his illness and knew he was going to die. How could you or I or anyone else sacrifice their life for the crowd he also makes me feel alive when I’m sad or mad and any mood I’m in. Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor, Brian May, and John Deacon made music into a whole nother world for me. If you think about it their kind of like the Beatles they changed music nowadays and after their decades. 🥁🎸🎸🎤🎹 Thanks Queen 👑

- buy it

just buy it

- Peggy

Queen is truly amazing and there will not ever be a band like them. I love all their music. Also watched the movie it was great. The movie is called bohemian rhapsody. Watching that movie made me realize how spectacular they all are. Freddy Mercury and the band music will go on for eternity. I firmly believe.

- Yes I do enjoy these songs so i bought some

- Buy It!

All these songs are really good! I recommend buying!

- Why

Why queen your a dude Or are you🤔.........................

- Awesome collection!!!

I personally own this collection on cd I bought it on amazon for like 16 bucks but Honestly this is pretty good but I definitely recommend buying the 40th anniversary cd album collections 1 2 and 3 if you own this collection buy the volumes and you’ll own all the Queen studio recorded albums! I also like that this has bonus tracks included in this collection that you wouldn’t get if you just went and bought the greatest hits albums separately.....Also the 40th anniversary cd volumes include bonus EP cds for every album in the all the volumes so there’s something for you to check out But all in all I definitely recommend this collection it’s amazing for a Queen fan to have on a budget P.s. If iTunes can see this or anyone that works for the Queen please add for instance love of my life or keep yourself alive to this collection and if ya do also add ‘39 it’s one of my favorite Queen songs!

- Freedie the goat

🐐

- Freddie was “Queen” 👑 and always will be🌈

No one can ever replace Freddie Mercury. 🎤He was Queen! 👑 I know they want the band to keep going, but Adam or anyone can never replace him. 🌈It’s time to let Freddie’s music shine with the band and let his legacy live through his music. 🎼Such a legend and Icon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ RIP dear Freddie 🙏 we miss you dearly🌈

- Platinum

The greatest ever!

- Even Now!

Love my Queen! Was a fan back in the late 70's and 80's...Another One Bites the Dust was my Anthem! Totally Recommend!

- Ew

... I have nothing

- Awesome

I really can’t express how great this is so I won’t try 😂

- Don’t buy

Just bought the album and won’t let me download any of the songs to my iPhone. Worst 25$ spent

- Queen rocks!!!

Queen rules! This album is awesome! I bought it first on CD then went on and got the rest of the songs on my iPad. I can’t believe they didn’t include “Tie Your Mother Down”! That’s one that’s missed. Other than that, each cd has lots of great songs from Bohemian Rhapsody and Another One Bites The Dust, to I Want It All and Innuendo, to Too Much Love Will Kill You and Living On My Own. I love it all! (See what I did there?;) I would definitely recommend this to huge Queen fans or just people who like Queen in general as it’s a must have for those kinds of people. Such a legendary band. Rock on, Queen.

- Queen

Classic rock all the way
