Queen i Bohemian Rapsody: Sjećanje na Freddieja Mercuryja (VIDEO)

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.

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.

Freddie Mercury (Zanzibar, 5. septembar 1946. - London, 24. novembar 1991.), bio je britanski pjevač, tekstopisac i producent. Bio je frontmen kultnog britanskog benda Queen. S glasom nevjerojatnog opsega od čak četiri oktave, bio je jedan od najboljih vokala na tadašnjoj sceni, te se ujedno i danas smatra jednim od najvećih vokala u muzičkoj historiji. Također, njegovo studiranje dizajna primjetno je bilo kroz čitavu karijeru ove grupe… I sada, nakon više od 20 godina od njegove smrti, Freddieja se pamti po energičnom stilu nastupanja, kao snažnog, izuzetno karizmatičnog i talentiranog muzičara: nastup grupe Queen na Live Aid koncertu 1985. proglašen je najboljim rock nastupom uživo na svijetu. Godine 1995. sastav Queen objavljuje i posljednji album Made in Heaven, na kojemu se nalaze posljednje pjesme koje je Freddie uspio otpjevati. Za pjesmu "Mother Love", Freddie je snimio vokale dvije sedmice prije smrti…

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.

Too late, my time has come,
Sent 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.

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.

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.
(Never, never, never let me go) Ah.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(Oh, 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.

(Oh, yeah, oh yeah)

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me.

Any way the wind blows.
