They give me these horrible things... Lovely colours, as well. Lovely colours. Lovely kitsch colours. Real height of bad taste.
every person can feel freddie’s presence in their souls when they sing MAMAAAAAA UUHHHH, I DONT WANNA DIE, I SOMETIMES I WISH I’VE NEVER BEEN BORN AT ALL with all the air in their lungs i’m not joking
it’s fucking crazy to think about the amount of people who have sung bohemian rhapsody? like it’s such a unifying song, by nature of the fact that so many people know it. it holds so many good memories for me and other people. it’s a song you scream in the car with your friends while you drive around your boring hometown, it’s a song you drunkenly sing with your arm around your best friend, or a song you sing along to with strangers when it’s on in public. it’s bittersweet to think about freddie’s legacy carrying on like that through his masterpiece. freddie carries on because he’s a part of so many people’s good memories and bohemian rhapsody is a huge part of that.
Reblog if you have sung bohemian rhapsody with your friends
every time i see this post i’m reminded of the video of 65,000 people singing bohemian rhapsody in near-perfect harmony
like, what other song can make that claim?
Some of the highlights of that video include:
- The crowd cheering after the first stanza when they realize what they’re all doing
- So many people audibly ‘doing the guitar parts’… like ya do
- The sheer number of voices joining the ridiculous falsetto (thanks, Roger)
- How they all start jumping at the ramp-up “so you think you can stone me”
- Hands up, hundreds, thousands deep for the final “ooooo”s and the last line to close the song

Reminder that Billie Joe Armstrong publicly came out as bisexual in 1995!
“I think I’ve always been bisexual. [...] It’s ingrained in our heads that it’s bad, when it’s not bad at all. It’s a very beautiful thing.”
And that Green Day used their platform to bring openly gay punk band Pansy Division on tour with them in 1994!

THE MEMBERS OF QUEEN + THEIR MAIN ROLES IN THE BAND
Queen is the first band in the world to have every member inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. Three out of four members sang on their recordings, creating vocal harmonies that have since then become instantly recognizable. While Deacon opted out of singing on record, he can be seen contributing background vocals in several live concerts. Every member of the band played multiple instruments, and Deacon even used his skills in electrical engineering to build equipment, most famously the “Deacy amp” which was used by May for many years
