[Intro]
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, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

[Verse 1]
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, ooh, 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
[Verse 2]
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, ooh (Any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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, 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
(Never, never, never, never let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia) Mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me!
[Verse 4]
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

[Outro]
(Ooh)
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah)
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows

hkcjnsadkjf ed from Queen’s fourth studio album, A Night at the Opera. It
became an international success, reaching #1 in seven countries and peaking
at #9 in the United States. Seventeen years after its initial release, “Bohemian
Rhapsody” re-entered the pop charts in the US, peaking at #2 after being
featured in the 1992 hit movie Wayne’s World. In 2002, the song was listed at
#1 in a Guinness World Records poll as Britain’s favourite single of all time—
ranking higher than four Beatles tracks and “Imagine” by John Lennon.

Complex and operatic both musically and lyrically, “Bohemian Rhapsody”


(like Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” and The Eagles‘ “Hotel California”)
has attracted endless fan theories and commentary. The surviving band
members have claimed that the narrative is based on the Faust legend; critics
have found possible sources in opera and Freddie Mercury’s personal
biography; but like any good piece of art, it’s open to interpretation.

The word “Bohemian” seems to refer to a group of artists and musicians from


the 19th century, known for defying convention and living with disregard for
standards; as opposed to the region of Bohemia in the Czech Republic.
Meanwhile the term “rhapsody” (derived from the Greek: ῥαψῳδός or
rhapsōidos for a reciter of epic poetry, or a rhapsodist) is a piece of classical
music with distinct sections that are played as one movement. Rhapsodies
often feature dense themes or narratives.

As of December 2018, “Bohemian Rhapsody” is the most streamed song of


the 20th century.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” has got a very diverse song structure. It includes:


• Intro (0:00-0:49)
• Ballad section (0:49-2:37)
• Brian May‘s’ guitar solo (2:37-3:05)
• Operatic verse (3:05-4:07)
• Hard-rock verse (4:07-4:54)
• Coda (4:54-5:55)

Where does "Bohemian" come from and what does it mean?
Genius Answer2 contributors

A “bohemian” is an unconventional artistic free spirit who lacks anything tying


them down. It can also refer to the Kingdom of Bohemia, now part of Czechia.
It became associated with that sort of lifestyle because the French thought
that was where travelling Romani communities came from.

Was he gay?
