qrock Bohemian: 186 posts	Posted: 09 Mar 10, 12:30 Hi, I need some help. I have been asked to do the song structure of Bo Rhap. I know, the the intro, ballad, opera, hard rock and outro of the song however the lyrics is a bit tricky. I need to do verses, chorus, middle eight ect and if there is anything extra like a cappella, opera segments ect. Like what is the Opera section like for lyrics is at all in verses? If someone can help me that would be just great.

LittleSilhouetto Champion: 54 posts	Posted: 11 Mar 10, 09:24 I'm not very sure what you're talking about. I thought Bo Rap was supposed not to have any structure, hence it's uniqueness.
FriedChicken Deity: 10370 posts	Posted: 11 Mar 10, 10:40 It does have structure. Albeit not a "normal" song structure. When you look at the big picture it consists of a couple of sections Intro \| Song \| Mock opera \| Hard rock \| Song The song being ofcourse the 'mama' part, which comes back at the end in a slightly altered version. On a smaller scale it has themes and motives. For example the "little high, little low' from the intro comes back as "I see a little' and 'easy come, easy go' . Therefor all the stories about it being a kind of medley of a couple of songs thrown together seems unlikely. Even Freddie said it, but I think it's not true. "On the first day Pim & Niek created a heavenly occupation. Pim & Niek blessed it and named it 'Loosch'." (Genesis 1:1)

BradJarre Royalty: 1083 posts	Posted: 11 Mar 10, 16:35 BohRap is for authistic people, it has structure... Queen has loads of fans because the songs has Structure, And authistic people need structure, Thats why a lot of authistic people dont listen to Jean MIchel Jarre or The Police for instance, the dont have structure, Well...... not to much.

It's not 'slightly altered', as only a bar and a half are re-done and the remaining 90.625% is brand new. Which means it's a new section: the opera section's not a re-intro just because it's got 'easy come easy go', is it? So, the structure is: Intro - Spacer - Verse - Refrain - Connector - Spacer - Verse - Refrain' - Solo (Refrain") - Opera - Rock - Outro Or it may be read as Intro - Ballad Section - Opera Section - Rock - Outro But still, it doesn't have a song 'back in the end.' Each section can be interpreted as having subsections (e.g. the opera bit has ABCDA'EA'FC'GD'H, where 'E' is the connector from the ballad section but in double-time and A is a variation on the recurring 'easy come easy go little high little low' theme). http://sebastian.queenconcerts.com/ How doth the hero strong and brave a celestial path to the heavens paved!
