This Symphony Orchestra Tribute To Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” Will Bring Tears To Your Eyes… | Society Of Rock Videos

Sonic Perfection

“To Freddie, with much affection and admiration…”

This harmonious rendition of Queen’s timeless hit “Bohemian Rhapsody” needs no words and is pure instrumental gold. Conducted by arranger Nicholas Hersh, the Indiana University Studio Orchestra stuns the crowd this wonderful, breathtaking tribute to Freddie Mercury.

“Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?”

Even without words, this symphony really captivates the message that Freddie was trying to send to people through this music “Nothing really matters“, loose and free you may feel as your floating up in the air forgetting all of your worries and cares as you let this musical ballad carry you away.

Fun Fact: The band was always keen to let listeners interpret their music in a personal way to them, rather than impose their own meaning on songs, and May stated that the band agreed to keep the personal meaning behind the song private out of respect for Mercury.

In minute 2:47 we feel our goosebumps rising and a tear gently rolling itself away, do us a favor and listen to this as LOUD as your ears can take!

+ Bohemian Rhapsody Lyrics +

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
A little high, little low
Anyway 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, ooo
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, ooo (anyway the wind blows)
I don’t want to die
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro – magnifico

But I’m just a poor boy and 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 (never)
Never let you go let me go
Never let me go ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
For me
For me

So you think you can stop 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 yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters nothing really matters to me

Anyway the wind blows
