Bohemian Rhapsody Analysis
After listening to Bohemian Rhapsody most people think that the song has a flux of instrumentals and rhythm as to imply the meaning of the message. The song comes in slowly with a piano and then reaches the guitar; the slow start with the first stanza gives off a confused feeling. As stated in the earlier paragraph the first couple of stanzas Freddie doesn’t want to admit to his stances on sexuality. He’s battling his mind over what he wants so the increase of instruments and pace in the second stanza provokes a little jitter to the listener giving the impression of Freddie’s confusion. Going into the next couple of stanzas the music gets slower with the piano, triangles, guitar, and drums creating the feeling of depression, as Mercury knows

My state is completely infested with mining companies that are basically digging holes everywhere and are disenfranchising people in the process. When I look at all this stuff, it’s quite overwhelming. As a citizen of the world, it doesn’t feel natural, and it doesn’t feel right.

It’s so overwhelming to be completely surrounded by that feeling all the time; I had to find some redemption and to take back the definition of revolution.” – John Butler.…

    Soaked, little, and naked is how the viewer finds Susanna in the middle of Girl, Interrupted. Or rather, soaked, little, naked, and hysterical. A state James Mangold utilizes to further illustrate his message. The film serves as a vehicle for Mangold to discuss madness and the society it exists within. Valerie, the asylum’s registered nurse, throws Susanna, the film’s suicidal protagonist, into a tub filled with water in order to snap Susanna out of her depressed state. Susanna lashes out at Valerie with every hurtful vulgarity she has within her. Despite this, Valerie remains calm and collected.

The title track draws an analogy between the biblical story of Moses and the Israelites leaving exile and his own situation. The song discusses returning to Africa.
