Just because the first is different certainly doesn't mean it'll be classed as a mistake. What an insult to the song. It may not have been planned this way, I'm not sure, but I don't think it really matters. I really love the track. Peace, Adam.

August R. wrote: The BIG question is, who wrote the lyrics. Is there only one writer, or is this a collaboration between many lyricists. Further, we don't know when lyrics were written. Perhaps some of the lyrics come from mid-80's and some were re-written after Freddie's death. Just a thought...

kohuept wrote: Yeah, Freddie wrote/recorded his part (and some piano, too - I think) in the 80s. I think it was supposed to be with Rod Stewart. The rest of the song was written by the other 3 after Freddie died.

Not intended as an insult, since I really like the song too. But it's like you make an agreement with your audience in the first verse and then you break the agreement in the next verses. That's a mistake they could have corrected, I think.

kohuept wrote: Misunderstood or disregarded? As strange as this may be to you, it's a song. The time changes in BohRhap are not mistakes - that's how the song is supposed to be. I know your observation is much different than that, but it is really hard to prove a 'mistake' in art. Sounds cheesy, but it's true. Either way, I've never noticed this before and will have to keep an ear out next time I hear LML.
