Let’s start with a book called: “Freddie Mercury: a life, in his own words”where inside the leader of the English band Queen points your finger at one his creatureafter explaining in great detail why the songs of often in concert do not sound like they do dance club. Mercury was particularly angry with “Someone to love” contained in “A day at the races”1976 album, underlining then, as it was a difficult song to play live, but due to cause exquisitely technical.
The song performed its climax at a time in the Freddie’s life, where it still lacked that special person, next to. And even if he’s not as pessimistic about the situation as at the beginning of the song, he’s still there negative feelings of which he struggles to get rid of. She was losing hope day after day, constantly waiting to meet “someone to love” but he knew he was strong enough and that you passed one very difficult phase of his life. To sing “Someone to love” thus becomes for him, one sort of mantrathe wish to himself to come out as from “a Dante’s Inferno“: I just gotta get out of this jail cell Someday (someday) I’ll be free, Lord!
Mercury, in short, he claimed it was impossible to recreate that live song adding, “As far as I know, many of the people who buy our records are smart enough to realize that for all the vocals it’s just the four of us. So they know we can’t possibly recreate a 160-piece choir on the try as much as you can. The most important thing for me is that the atmosphere of the song is conveyed to the stage. “
But for us he is, and remains, one of the many masterpieces come out of that brilliant mind from Freddie Mercury.
