Brian May was the main writer of The Show Must Go On. Check on Wikipedia for Innuendo album. The actual riff of the song was something John and Roger were playing around with.
Made In Heaven was written in 1985, before Freddie knew about his illness.
Queen did not tour in 1983, nor did Freddie, so he could not collapse after a concert in that year. |

Indeed it was written with Highlander in mind, but I believe there is an alternative reading of the song (after all, it wasn't as much of a focused soundtrack as Flash Gordon was).

Well, actually I thought it was probably the exact opposite. Especially knowing Roger Taylor's views on religion.
"A bell that rings inside your mind is challenging the doors of time"
"The day will dawn of sanity"
- the awakening of reasoning over superstitious beliefs.
"This rage that lasts a thousand years will soon be done"
- the conflicts between religions, especially Christianity and Islam
I think the last kind of lyrics Roger would write would be one about Jesus. It might be about Highlander though. |

To me, this is David's cry for spiritual help amidst the troubles of 1976 and his cocaine addiction and dabbling in obscure beliefs.
He's basically said as much himself, not that he remembers much of this year. |

Yes it's about talking to a higher power, does that mean it's about the Christian God? No, only in the eyes of sadly indoctrinated Americans. |

| Muse – Knights of Cydonia Lyrics

Sorry to disappoint the godbotherers on this page (presumably mainly from the US where there is always a desperate rush to identify music with crazy evangelical Christianity), but Muse are confirmed atheists, and if you were fans, you would know this.
The song to me seems to be showing you through the veils of history (history distorted by the powerful, e.g. the church), that "God" does not exist, and it is time to reclaim society for the enlightened secular majority. |

The lines about shoe shine and the county line always suggested to me this song was about selling dope. "One step ahead of the shoe shine" i thought means close to being absolutely broke, and having to shine shoes, whereas "two steps away from the county line" means he's always close to the border in case he gets busted. Who knows? |
