About this song

Widely considered to be one of the greatest songs of all time, “Bohemian Rhapsody” was the first single released 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. On December 9, 1991, sixteen years after its initial release, “Bohemian Rhapsody” reclaimed #1 in the UK single charts after it was re-released by Queen as a double A-side single with “These Are the Days of Our Lives” two weeks after Freddie Mercury’s death on November 24, 1991. A year later in 1992, it re-entered the pop charts in the US, peaking at #2 after being featured in the 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. In 2004, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100, as well as public consciousness, yet again with the release of the Bohemian Rhapsody biopic in November of 2018. The movie grossed about $910.8 million worldwide, and made the song “the most streamed song of the 20th century” with over 1.6 billion downloads across all major streaming services. And on March 25, 2021, The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” diamond. 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. “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)
