Queen Deep Dive: "Life is Real (Song for Lennon)", so real

from Tater Thoughts · host Charly Tate

An ode to John Lennon's artistry, Freddie's "Life is Real (Song for Lennon)" is also a stunning and affecting confession from our frontman. It's a beautifully constructed ballad with aching phrases of doubt and fear: A revealing admission. All of the boys shimmer here, with shocking restraint that still evokes. Roger's delicate drums, John's lyrical bass, and Brian's soulful guitar all make their mark. But Freddie really owns this; piano, synths, graphic lyrics and a gorgeous vocal. And live, it's even more fantastic.
