Really like this write-up!
Some songs by Queen in the same vein (long, complex, multi-sectional) would include:
The Prophet's Song (A Night at the Opera, same album as Bo-Rhap)
March of the Black Queen (Queen II)
My Fairy King (Queen)
The Millionaire Waltz (A Day at the Races)
Great Rat King (Queen)
Innuendo (Innuendo)
P.S. the meaning to all, if not most of these songs hasn't been confirmed and remains open to the listener's imagination. Especially is our case of the no-doubt legendary Bohemian Rhapsody...
Thank you @adviceful I really do hope this has impacted you in some way, shape or form!
Excellent selection there too! I have noticed that the meanings are very open to the listener and heck! Maybe that's the greatest spectacle of it all, we the audience, have the power to decide what we believe the song means and share it along with that reason!
I guess it's all a matter of how the song's writer/lyricist would like their art interpreted. Some want their fans to view the words/meaning as they do, whereas other artists (like Queen) prefer for their work to have an air of mystery and ambiguity. Although, of course there are songs in Queen's repertoire where the band members open up and explain the original intentions behind certain compositions.
Thanks for the article, really made me happy to stumble across it!
