Bohemian Rhapsody(Song by the band “The Queen”)
Still being one of the best-selling rock singles of all time, voted Millennium Song in 2000, and recorded as the No. 1 song of all time in the Guinness Book of Records. Bohemian Rhapsody
Imay not be like anything you've heard before. Of course, The Queen's(Music Band) iconic track, Bohemian Rhapsody, is a song that, even 40 years later, is one of our generation's most popular and unforgettable songs. It is a six-minute pop single that had an orchestra, an opera, right in the middle of the album, unlike most pop singles, which majorly lasted only three minutes.
A
genre-blender in the 1970s isn't something you find usually out of oddity but
The Queen did it, In fact, Bohemian Rhapsody can be split into five separate
sections:
An introduction to a cappella.
Ballad Opera.
Hard rock.
Reflective coda.
It was also incredibly rare not to have a chorus for a popular song, thus
mixing different musical styles and lyrics. It's a mind-blowing genre-bender by
definition. Its construction, elements, lyrics, and gorgeous musical quality
are a result of the profound production behind the song. The song had 180
individual tracks initially that got put onto a 24-track, two-inch tape. Back
in those days, it was way too much than it sounds.
In conclusion, The band queen had its own style and enthusiastic way of
producing music by empowering other factors. Here are few facts about the band
that will awe any music enthusiastic:
Freddie’ the lead singer’s vocals have been described as “a force of nature
with the velocity of a hurricane”
The Queen is the only band to support drag culture in their videos in the 1970s
(I Want to Break Free" is a song by rock band Queen, written by their bass
guitarist John Deacon. The song is largely known for its music video for which
all the band members dressed in drag.)
Freddie was gay and he has embraced it in his entire life and it is more of an
achievement because it was able to influence a large part of the audience in
the ’70s
What really makes "Bohemian Rhapsody" great is that it embodies what
any musical piece should be: the talent and desire to push boundaries and
produce something that brings us together, even 40 years later, beyond all the
notes, lyrics, and performances. Freddie Mercury and Queen became something
that very few artists managed to accomplish with just this one song: a legend.
