Worldview-Queen

Worldview-Queen
If you were to ask the band members of Queen the four questions of worldview, each of them would give you similar answers. All four members Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Meddows-Taylor, and John Deacon would answer the question, who are we, people who need help, where are we, trying to be better people, what's the problem, we live according to race, colour or creed (from Innuendo), and the remedy is love.
Who we are according to Queen is we are Princes of the Universe. Well maybe not all of us are Princes of the Universe, but they think they are. But for the rest of us we are people who want to break free from bad things and have a good happy life. When we have that good happy life we can have a person that loves us for the rest of our life.
The question where are we, is answered by the song Hammer to Fall. The song talks about creating your own future that does not replay anything else in history, especially cold war problems. Another One Bites the Dust talks about living adventuresome and if you can't make it you'll bite the dust.
Bohemian Rhapsody talks about one problem that humans can have, disappointing a person that we love. In the song the singer kills a man and wants to make it up to his mother. He goes on to say that his family should just go on without him and that what he did doesn't really matter. I think that this song shows a major flaw in the band's view on life. If you were to kill a person it is a big deal and it does matter. Your family should go on without him but saying that it does not matter is not right.
Like any other rock band from the 70's love is one of the major topics of their songs. They have a large number of songs that deal with love. They display love as a mostly sexual kind of love not the love that Jesus taught us about. For example, in I'm in Love with My Car, the singer of the song would rather spend time with his car than have a meaningful relationship with his girlfriend....
