Freddie Mercury - “Icon” with a capital I! Moreover, the “Icon” is not only of the music industry (for example, rock music of the 80s), but also of the style, fashion and behavior of that time. Freddie Mercury is the truest superstar of the 80s. It was he who rocked television in 1985 with his incredible voice, and it was he who secretly took Princess Diana to a gay club. The man is a Legend, and one of the most mysterious and soulful stars of the musical world of rock music and everything “around that”...
The life of Freddie Mercury is a vivid example of how to live your life: richly, leaving a bright mark on history, and helping others (in this case, with your inspiring songs). Now, when you open the textbook “How to Become a Rock Star for Dummies” (yes, there are such things!), you will see funny caricatures and notes stolen from the lives of bright rock stars, most of them copied and copied from the life of Freddie. And this only proves how great his role is in the history of world culture at the end of the 20th century.
Freddie Mercury
Freddie began his music career by studying piano in Mumbai, India. He and his family then moved to the UK, where he attended Ealing College of Art. Here he met his bandmates, Brian May and Roger Taylor. Queen had their first hit in 1974, "Killer Queen". This song launched his successful career as a rock star.
When the group became famous, Mercury was unable to control his personal life. He became a "party maniac", spending most of his time drinking and otherwise. In 1991, due to AIDS-related illnesses, Freddie left us, leaving behind his enormous wealth: his songs and his voice.
Quotes showing Freddie Mercury's philosophy...
Freddie Mercury
“I always knew I was a star and now it seems the rest of the world agrees with me.”
“I won't be a rock star. I will become a legend."
“The most important thing is to live a fabulous life. As long as it's amazing, I don't care how long it takes."
“Money can’t buy happiness, but it can give it!”
“I love the fact that I can make people happy in any form. Even if it's just an hour of their life, if I can make them feel lucky, or make them feel good, or put a smile on a sour face, that means the world to me."
“If I die tomorrow, I won't regret it. I really did everything I could."
“When I die, I want to be remembered as a worthy and significant musician.”
“You can be whoever you want to be, just transform yourself into what you think you could ever be.”
we will Rock You
The authorship of this no less famous song already belongs to the band’s guitarist, Brian May. It is so “hit” that as soon as someone beats out the corresponding rhythm with their feet, their hands are just asking to complement it with clap. By the way, a musical dedicated to the work of the legendary group is named after this song.
So, I suggest you read the lyrics of the song again yourself, but for now we’ll look at one interesting line:
You got mud on yo' face
You big disgrace Kickin' your can all over the place
Why is this expression interesting? In this case, “kicking the can” most likely means, on the one hand, “spending time aimlessly, doing nonsense”
, and on the other hand,
“to create noise and irritate others
.
However, I want to tell you about the idiom “kicking the can down the road”,
which is used when a person delays making a decision in the hope that the problem will “resolve” on its own (or someone will make a decision for him). Quite often this expression is used in politics or journalism:
Members are overwhelmingly disappointed in the Senate's decision to just
'kick the can down the road' for two months,” the idea said.
(Washington Post) I don’t know if such a connotation was intended in the song “We will rock you”
, but anything is possible.
Basic principles of success from Freddie Mercury
Let's take a closer look at the meanings of Freddie Mercury's statements... Let's focus on the three most important ones and try to create our own rules to follow. This should be a kind of parting word for each of us! No wonder Freddie said all this?!)
Freddie Mercury
Habit #1: Dream big
Mercury officially stated:
"When I die, I want to be remembered as a worthy and important musician."
This suggests that his plan was not a simple, ordinary and run-of-the-mill “we need to build a house” plan. It was a real plan that made him stand out from the crowd, something like this: “I will build the best and most unusual house this world has ever seen.” Do you feel the difference?! He not only wanted to succeed in life, but also wanted to become a legend and a role model for aspiring singers after his death.
It's good to aim for the sun to land on the moon! Successful people push their limits. Don't strive to become a millionaire, strive to become a billionaire. Strive not just to become the best manager in your workplace, but try to create your own company!
Habit #2: Work hard like there's no tomorrow.
Freddie worked hard to found and develop his band Queen. One day he said:
“If I die tomorrow, I won't regret it. I really did everything I could."
The thorny path of Freddie and the Queen group, which, one might say, began even before they met, when the former vocalist left the group, and which ended only when Freddie was taken to another world, proves that life is a daily struggle, and it will not be like this, that you will complete some super task, sit on a chair, smoke a cigar and say loudly: “What a great fellow I am!” You’ll probably start bragging about your achievement. But this is not how it works, not at all... Live for today, and don’t forget about tomorrow!
Many people fail in life because they do not take advantage of the opportunities that come their way. You have to try to work hard today to achieve your dreams, because you don't know anything about tomorrow and what it can give you... or take away.
Freddie Mercury
Bohemian Rhapsody
An incredible song written by Freddie himself. It was recognized several times as the best single of all time, and the video clip is still considered the most outstanding in history.
I will not describe the content of the song: I suggest you study the text yourself in our library of materials. I will focus on one phrase:
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go
, little high, little low
So, let's figure it out. “Easy come, easy go”
- This is a saying that means that what is easily earned, received, or received is easily spent.
In Russian, the equivalent would be “easy to get, easy to live
.
The lyrical hero of the song speaks of himself as a person who takes victories and defeats lightly: he either rises higher, or falls lower, etc.
By the way, we can find this expression in Bruno Mars’ song “Grenade”, in which the hero reproaches his beloved for not caring about herself and her feelings:
Easy come, easy go
That’s just how you live, oh Take, take, take it all, But you never give

- But I don’t... - Girl, everyone in business starts somewhere. Someone from the panel: first “I’m not like that,” then “wrong,” then “wrong,” and it all ends with a demanding “don’t stop!” Someone with a “push”: first he picked it up, took it, paid for it, to the point, then there were big clients who don’t like to show off their hobbies. But there is always a beginning, and once you start playing in business, you can’t give it up. Otherwise, he will take revenge on you by taking away everything where life is not even in the first place. Tags: Queen of the South // Dona Camila Vargas //

For any vampire, there comes a time when the very idea of eternity becomes momentarily unbearable. Living in the shadows, eating in the darkness only with your own, rotting alone, existing meaninglessly. Immortality seems like a good idea until you realize you'll be spending it alone. So I went to sleep, hoping that the sounds of passing eras would fade away and a semblance of death would come. But as I lay there, the world sounded different than the place I left [rock music starts playing] Better. It was worth rising again because new gods were born and worshiped. Night and day they were never alone. I would become one of them. Tags: Queen of the Damned // Lestat // vampires // eternity //

“I spent my life searching for the impossible, and I had no idea that I myself would become the impossible.” - So why did you come to me? Something tells me you didn't just run 600 miles to say hello to a friend. “All my life I wanted more... to be more.” And now I have succeeded. And when I had the chance to help someone, I screwed up. What if Wells is right? What if I'm not a hero? What if I'm just a guy who got struck by lightning? “I don't think it was lightning that struck you, Barry.” I think she chose you. “I'm not sure I'm like you, Oliver.” I don't know if I can become... A vigilante. - You can be better. Because you can inspire people in a way that I never could... watching over the city like a guardian angel... making a difference. Saving people...in the blink of an eye. Take your own advice. Wear a mask. Tags: The Flash // Barry Allen (The Flash) // Oliver Queen / Green Arrow // motivational quotes //
The Show Must Go On
The most tragic song that makes your skin crawl. It was written by Brian May. Freddie recorded it when he was already terminally ill...

By the way, this video (and many other works of the English Show) is in the Lingualeo Materials.

This song was written by the band's bassist John Deacon. Follow the link to read the entire text. Well, I’ll focus on the English idiom, for which we don’t have to go far - it’s included in the title.
The expression “bite the dust”
has several meanings:
- To be killed, to die (this is the meaning in the song);
- To be defeated or fail:
His career
bit the dust when he lost his job.
