45年前的今天，皇后樂隊的主唱Freddie Mercury寫下了這首曲子。
六分鐘的長度，180次的疊錄，脫離傳統音樂主副主副的結構，雜糅清唱和聲、民謠、歌劇、搖滾的曲風，讓它無論是在編曲還是製作難度上，都可謂傳奇，也讓他成為了二十世紀全球播放量最高的歌曲。
初識這首曲子，是在去年年初波西米亞狂想曲這部影片在國內上映的時候。當時對於皇后樂隊的認知還僅僅停留在We are the Champions和We will rock you，噢對，就這，還是看電影簡介才知道是人皇后的歌。
影片過去一年多了，Queen的歌也一度霸佔著聽歌榜單，越聽越有味，視若珍寶。記得在兩次自駕旅行中，輪坐副駕當DJ，我翻著手裡的網易雲，看到皇后的歌是既心動又謹慎，怕引不起大家的共鳴，壞了車內的氣氛，畢竟喜歡皇后的，還是少數。在我的理解中，如果沒有了解過歌曲背後的故事，脫離了那層畫面，是不易產生太深刻的連結與共鳴的，大多數的音樂，都是這樣。有意思的是，兩次都是朋友先捅破了這層壁，而後大家就跟覓到知己一般，氣氛瞬間高八度。
但真要說出歌裡寫的是啥，大家相視一笑。Queen曾說過不會給出歌詞的解釋，也正因這樣，才讓每個人都能有自己的理解，勾起自己心中更深一層的衝動和欲望、思索與感慨。
白巖松有句話放這特合適：音樂無謂懂與不懂，觸動你的，撫慰你的，就對了。
這段翻彈基於1985 Live Aid的版本，用校音部分做了intro，並且保留了原曲的outro，希望大家喜歡。
來吧，獻醜。

Bohemian Rhapsody
Written by Freddie Mercury
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look 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
Any way 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, ooh, 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, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh (Any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro magnifico
But 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
(Never, never, never, never let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh, mamma mia, mamma 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 spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby!
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
(Ooh)
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah)
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
