What comes to your mind when you look at this painting??
Confused?
Well, this was created by an English artist Richard Dadd and it goes by the beautiful name "The fairy Feller's Master stroke". Its regarded as one of the best paintings in art history. Took him 9 big years to get this "close to" done. He couldn't manage to complete this painting; he ran out of time. You can see the unfinished strokes at the bottom of the painting. The colors seem all washed away. This ain't one of the random doodles which we attempt while sitting through boring lectures. Have time? Check a look at this poem which he wrote to describe this meticulous work of art. The poem Fascinated me. But not until I heard my biggest inspiration QUEEN sing about it!
If an artist puts so much work into a magnificent piece of art, Freddie Mercury made it all the more beautiful by singing about it. The song is one brilliant piece of music. You can conjure up the whole image in your head just by listening to this song, thanks to Freddie's glorious vocals backed up by Brian May's guitar and the best orchestra you can ever find.
One more reason why I love QUEEN.
Per contra, this song taught me a bunch of new words like "tatterdemalion", "Junketer", "Harridan" and "apothecary". Well it is a part of the Queen portmanteau! No song goes on like a string of meaningless babble or like "Baby Baby Baby ohhhh.." (you know what I'm talking about ;) ) This is real musical genius. You have to have a deep passion for artful music to appreciate Queen. So, check this song out and you will know what I mean .
