With Dubai's never ending events, it would only be natural to be humming a few tunes from Abba this week, since the musical "Mamma Mia" was on last week. Instead of waking up trying to get rid of "Dancing Queen's" tune from mah mind, I wake up surprisingly humming Bohemian Rhapsody; only the best song ever written and recorded.
Written by Freddie Mercury in 1975, the song is a style of rock opera with a very unusual musical structure. Despite that, it was released as single and became a huge success..
I wonder wat was going through Freddie's mind when he wrote the song… I wonder wat pain he must've felt, wat happened in his childhood?! Many link the song to the Vietnamese war, others say its more of a suicidal note… however, other believed that the lyrics were nothing more than utter gibberish written in order to fit the music. Unlike other musicians and other members of the band, Freddie never revealed the meaning behind his music or lyrics…..
Bohemian Rhapsody was named "The Best Single Of The Last 25 Years", and was the only single to have been UK Christmas # 1 twice.
The Lyrics hold soo many deeper meanings than wat we hear, i can go on for hours and pages and pages critiquing the words, instead of boring u, I will leave you with a bit of nostalgia instead; enjoy…

Words and music by Freddie Mercury
Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-No escape from reality-
Open your eyesLook 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,
Anyway 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-
Mama oooOooH,
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,
Sends shivers down my spine-Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-I've got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama oooOooOH- (any way the wind blows)
I dont wanna die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-
I see a little silhouette of a man,
Scaramouch, Scaramouch 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 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 let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Oh Mama mia, mamma mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me-
So you think you can stone me and spin my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really mattered-,
nothing really matters to me,
Any way the wind blows....
