BRIAN TALKING ABOUT FREDDIE’S STAGE OUTFITS

It was all great. He took a lot of chances.

Random person: Hi— Me: Freddie Mercury and Brian May grew up 300 yards apart and didn't meet each other until they were in college where they formed a band and believed in one another more than they believed in themselves they would take the bus together to defend the band to their rotten management and had matching stage costumes made out of an old wedding dress which all then later added up to their motif of black and white they also shared rooms on tour!!! and then many years later Freddie came out as gay and Brian changed his songwriting to be much more ambiguous and inclusive for his sake!!!! Brian always hated Don't Stop Me Now btw because he was worried about people taking advantage of Freddie's loyal nature and pushing him to extremes he also wrote a hit song (!!!) about Freddie's unsatisfying love and sex life which Freddie knew about and sang on stage for years while Brian played the piano for him and this isn't even touching on the fact that Freddie used his interactions with Brian on stage to express his gayness when that was still beyond dangerous and not only did Brian not bat an eyelash he continuously engaged in it for years because fuck homophobes !!! and Freddie always felt so comfortable around him inviting him to hang out with his friends his home and writing a 4-minute song calling him his soullllllll and then there's Brian turning around and writing a metaphor about Freddie's soul being beautiful and transformative like the wings of butterflies while he was dying and barely able to sing anymore but this isn't even touching on the years after Freddie's passing when Brian took Love of My Life and single-handedly made it into a tribute while he was depressed and struggling with suicidal thoughts because he couldn't play music without honoring Freddie in some—

Freddie trusted brian with his whole heart and soul and people still have the nerve to say they were just colleagues.

But the implication that Freddie knew about the idea behind Save me is blowing my damn mind.

This is what kills me. Imagine knowing (or at least strongly suspecting) that your bandmate has written a song about your very personal heartbreak, even though you've never opened up to him about it... he's just taken it upon himself to write about how caring and loyal he thinks you are as a partner??? and how much you want and deserve that in return??? Not only that but he's gone off and written a core lyric about your casual sex life being emotionally empty because you want to be loved so badly. Imagine knowing that one of your best friends has written a song about how other men should make love to you because of two (2) words you sang to him.

I'd fucking go insane. I'd lose my mind.

Seriously. No wonder Freddie chose to go to him 4 years later when he needed help writing "It's a Hard Life." No wonder Brian was the one person he went to when he no longer had the strength to write his own lyrics.

Scalding hot take of the day: Freddie and Brian's writing partnership is unrecognized primarily because they wrote for each other more than they wrote with each other.

THE UNSUNG WRITING ‘PARTNERSHIP’ OF MERCURY-MAY

I think what you’ve got with Queen is the Lennon-McCartney, the Buckingham-Nicks, the Townsend-Daltrey… You’ve got the two people in Freddie Mercury and Brian May who actually couldn’t really have done it on their own and needed each other — Trevor Dann
