최근 영화 <보헤미안 랩소디(Bohemian Rhapsody)> 열풍을 타고 퀸에 대한 리스너들의 사랑이 뜨겁다. 실제 팝차트 '올킬'은 물론 종합 차트에서도 내로라하는 음원 강자들을 꺾고 퀸의 음악이 최상위권에 진입했다. 영화 속 감동의 불길이 음악으로 제대로 옮겨붙은 모양새다.
영화 <보헤미안 랩소디>는 소외된 아웃사이더에서 록밴드 퀸의 전설이 되기까지의 프레디 머큐리를 그려내고 있다. 특히 그의 고뇌와 방황, 밴드 멤버들과의 갈등 등 섬세한 내면 묘사가 명곡들과 어우러지며 잠시 안식하고 있던 퀸과 프레디 머큐리의 음악에 생기를 불어넣었다. 진성성이 담긴 스토리가 퀸의 음악을 만나 감동의 시너지를 완성하여 영화의 흥행을 만들어낸 셈이다.
영화 <보헤미안 랩소디> 열풍과 함께 동명의 'Bohemian Rhapsody' 노래는 물론 영화에 등장했던 퀸의 'I Was Born To Love You', 'Don't Stop Me Now', 'We Are The Champions', 'We Will Rock You', 'Love of My Life' 등 34곡의 명곡들도 각종 음원 차트상위권 포진하며 퀸의 위용을 드러냈다. OST 앨범을 향한 사랑 역시 뜨겁다.
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
Bodys 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 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 yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
nothing really matters to me
Anyway the wind blows
