More From Freddie Mercury

I really wish that peoplewould just say, 'yes, it's a comic. yes, this is fantasy. yes, this is science fiction,' and defend the genre instead of saying, 'horror is a bit passe so this is dark fantasy,' and that' s playing someone else's game. so that's why i say i'm a fantasy writer and to hell with 'it doesn't read like what i think of as a fantasy'. in that case what you think of as a fantasy is not a fantasy. or there is more to it than you think.

That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.
Country Song Eclectic Style
I can't stress enough how important it is to write bad songs. there's a lot of people who don't want to finish songs because they don't think they're any good. well they're not good enough. write it! i want you to write me the worst songs you could possible write me because you won't write bad songs. you're thinking they're bad so you don't have to finish it. that's what i really think it is. well it's all right. well, how do you know? it's not done!
Song Stress Writing
If you are going to write, say, fantasy - stop reading fantasy. you've already read too much. read other things; read westerns, read history, read anything that seems interesting, because if you only read fantasy and then you start to write fantasy, all you're going to do is recycle the same old stuff and move it around a bit.
Moving Reading Writing
There has been a lot of bad fantasy in the past - i'm by no means saying that all classic fantasy out there is bad - but there has been a lot of bad fantasy written by people who read a lot of fantasy and so all they keep doing is recycling it.
Mean Past People
My best songs were written very quickly. just about as much time as it takes to write it down is about as long as it takes to write it...in writing songs i've learned as much from cezanne as i have from woody guthrie...it's not me, it's the songs. i'm just the postman, i deliver the songs...i consider myself a poet first and a musician second. i live like a poet and i'll die like a poet.
