so the key is "what we are talking about"


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

Knowing themes of our all subjects, I think this is a Benzies' Everywhere reference

At 19 seconds, which is the start of the clip, the lyrics are “look up to the skies and see”.

Should we start looking up in the builder’s beta?

Does anyone remember when exactly Bohemian Rhapsody was first mentioned?

3-6-9* the key* to the universe vortex maths popped back up in my morning research triggered by a recent conversation on “morrisons”

Heres an in depth analysis of the song that interested me

andything.wordpress.com/2012/07/01/notes-on-notes-an-in-depth-analysis-of-bohemian-rhapsody/

“ Part 1: “Is This the Real Life?”

The first section of the monomyth is called the “call to adventure” portion. “Adventure,” however, representing the journey the hero is about to begin, and “call” meaning whatever incites the journey. Just thought I should clarify, because “call to adventure” to me kind of sounds like an outside force has to incite the journey like a guy blowing on a conch shell or something. Often, this isn’t the case. Like in one of the most famous uses of the Hero’s Journey, The Odyssey, Odysseus’ own mistakes and flaws incite the journey.

The same is true of Bohemian Rhapsody. The hero of the song begins his “adventure” by screwing up big time. The song isn’t specific about what exactly he screws up, however. He then spends the rest of the song finding redemption for his actions. It’s the skeleton for many classic stories, but not often the skeleton for a song.”

“ Although Queen only had 3 singers in the group (Guitarist Brian May, Drummer Roger Taylor, and Freddie Mercury), they were able to use studio overdubbing to create the thick, phased-out a-cappella that can be heard at the beginning of the song. Studio effects were then added to enhance this feeling as well.

By starting with no instruments and using vocal blending, the song establishes the hero’s stupor following his mistake. The hero is “caught in a landslide” of his own doing, and his reality is washed away. The quietness of the introduction and the otherworldly sounding harmonies that are pushed to the forefront serve to reinforce the emotion of this initiating moment.

In the context of a pop song, removing most of the instruments (save some sparse piano and drumming) in the introduction gives an appropriately empty feeling. Popular music is all about a wall of sound, with the music filling in as many frequencies as possible to keep things exciting. Bohemian Rhapsody’s vocals-only introduction not only lets the listener immediately know this song will be an atypical experience, but it also creates a slightly uneasy and otherworldly atmosphere. A perfect atmosphere for a story about someone who has just lost it all.”

Whilst trying out some wordplay on Fanta Sea I stumbled on Naranja Lakes in Florida, Fanta is an orange based beverage and naranja translates to orange, it is situated very close to Homestead in Florida. It feels like a loose association for me however.

So we know the section linked is the Call to action portion of the hero's journey in Bohemian rhapsody. Tonight I want to focus on what we see visually.

the clip is 51 seconds of the introduction to Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody (Official Video Remastered)

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?



Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality

During the above lyrics, from the opening shot to escape reality we see what appears to be 3 silhouettes, we know the reality is Queen only had 3 singers 

Although Queen only had 3 singers in the group (Guitarist Brian May, Drummer Roger Taylor, and Freddie Mercury), they were able to use studio overdubbing to create the thick, phased-out a-cappella that can be heard at the beginning of the song. Studio effects were then added to enhance this feeling as well.

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see (sky and sea?)

from OPEN YOUR EYES onwards a studio light reveals 4 figures until

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy

A 5th face emerges in the centre of the bunch overlaid with a ghost effect.

Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low



Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

The 5th face fades in and out with the lead vocal.


According to MUSICOLOGY blog

The video is most famous for its iconic opening scene, featuring the band’s faces bathed in shadowy light, inspired by a photograph of actress Marlene Dietrich. This striking visual became one of the most recognizable images in rock history. The use of then-innovative visual effects, like overlaid images and cross-dissolves, added to the video’s allure, making it not just a complement to the song, but an extension of its artistry.



Perhaps the most significant impact of the “Bohemian Rhapsody” music video was its role in demonstrating the potential of music videos to record labels and artists. It showed that music videos could be an effective way to promote a song, leading to the music video revolution of the 1980s
