Ами Hot Space 1982 - 07 - Life Is Real ( song for Lennon ).
За кой друг освен за John Lennon е според тебе?
Освен това албума излиза `82 значи някъде 81 се пише песента.. а година преди това загива Ленън.
Пък и текста подсказва, че е за Lennon.
Life Is Real (Song for Lennon)
Words and music by Freddie Mercury
Guilt stains on my pillow
Blood on my terraces
Torsos in my closet
Shadows from my past
Life is real, life is real, so real
Sleeping is my leisure
Waking up in a minefield
Dream in just a pleasure dome
Love is a roulette wheel - life is real
Life is real, life is real, oh yeah
Success is my breathing space
I brought it on myself
I will price it, I will cash it
I can take it or leave it
Loneliness is my hiding place
Breast feeding myself
What more can I say?
I have swallowed the bitter pill
I can taste it, I can taste it
Life is real, life is real, life is real
Music will be my mistress
Loving like a whore
Lennon is a genius
Living in every pore
Life is real, life is real, life is real, so real
Life is cruel, life is a bitch
Life is real so real
Life is real, so real

Brian redeemed himself with the last one, Freddie does the same here. Inspired by the death of the ex-Beatle, this song captures the Lennonian style perfectly. You could imagine (if you'll pardon the pun) Lennon doing this one, with the exception of a certain lyric, obviously ("Lennon is a genius"). It is about intense loneliness, and knowing that it is real, and there is no escaping it. Beautiful. The balladial tone of the song is signalled from the start by the delicate piano intro, which remains a constant throughout the rest of the song. Why this was only a B-side to Body Language beats me. It is infinitely better. It would have done much better in the charts if it had been the A-side. Top 20, no question. And with the Lennon connection, probably even further. A gem, not known to nearly enough people.
