What if......two musicians sub-consciously were synchronized in time? An epiphany they experienced but to us was sublime Did Freddie know while he was composing Bohemian Rhapsody? That Marvin Gaye was recovering from a personal tradegy Marvin was compelled to write about the signs of the times He began with mother, mother and then asked the questions why Freddie wrote "mama I don't want to die" Each calling out to mother but with a different cry Freddie's words reflected self-acceptance and self-conflicted war But Marvin realized the war related conflicts, the world chose to ignore Freddie wanted us to"open our eyes and see" While Marvin sang " talk to me so you can see," that was his plea The harmonization between the two revealed the torments of conflict and pain Each reasoned within their hearts the complexities of change Marvin expressed his desire for the world to see " what's going on?" Freddie in his operatic vibrato sang " nothing really matters to me" "Anywhere the Wind Blows"
