Songsplaining: What is Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody Really About?

Queen is the band that brought true music theory, and divine theatre back to Rock & Roll. Freddie Mercury conducted the cultural revolution that took the world by storm. Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, vocals), and John Deacon (bass guitar) cooked up an album that was unmatched on the charts, loved by all, and to this day shakes the planet! The flag-dish of the album is no secret either! “Bohemian Rhapsody,” a theoretical master class hit had touched hearts up and down the fretboard and struck your ears with octaves you didn’t know existed. Rhapsody was Freddie’s baby, a baby we all fell in love with that will never age. The song stands timeless! No matter the ripple in the universe Mercury will always exist.
