Interview with Freddie Mercury talking to David Wigg
about his solo plans.
Munich 1985. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
F.: I think songs are like, you know, they're
like buying a new dress of shirt, you just wear it and then you discard it. I
think, OK a certain few classics will always remain. It's lovely to hear that
We Are The Champions is a song that's been taken up by, you know, football fans
'cause that's a winners' song which keeps coming back, I can't believe that
somebody else hasn't written a new song to take it over, you know, but for me
it's just, I like to look upon it as writing new material, you know, what I've
written in the past is finished and done with, OK if I hear it on the radio or
people talk about it, I feel OK, that's great, but to me I'm thinking about
what they are going to say about my new stuff. What are they going to say about
my solo project, that's more interesting to me right now. Basically I
wanted (to have) a good time it’s just I write sad songs. Be also whatever have
a good time, and just forget the problems and let’s go for a little while by
listen to my album.
Song-writing
comes... The structure of the melody comes easy to me, it's the lyrical content
that I find hard. just like to write nice little catchy tunes, lyric I find
that hard because I'm not a poet and I hate writing lyrics anyway. I wish

F.: That’s very easy,
very straight form is cover.
W.: That is Made in Heaven. We not can see you with
the wings…
F.: Or, no, no, no there were clipped of a long
time ago. (How much … Come on of a flamboyant).
W.: There we got phrase a lot. But we go on to have do
this. Let’s talk about another track, Mr Bad Guy.
F.: Yes, Mr Bad Guy. That’s me! (Both laugh)
W.: What made you give the streapment with the meaning of philharmonic?
F.: I wanted a song that had absolute full
orchestration because I mean, in terms of Queen, we’ve always wanted a song
that had full orchestra, that came in studio. But we always seem to sort of… at
the last minute deny the fact that… that we
wanted orchestra, because I mean – in a very genuine way – because I mean
Brian could re-created the orchestra with his guitar, so we’ve always had that
kind of thing. And we always missed out on in. I think, you can go through all Queen albums, there is only one song that
actually had fully fletched orchestra. And I thought: right, I’m gonna do it,
I’ll be the first one to… I thought it’s a wonderful opportunity. So, I just
had The Munich Philharmonic orchestra come in

the out comes, and I’m very
