The story behind
Queen wrote Jesus as a song that mixes rock with a story that is not from its time. The lyrics speak of a man who walked on earth, teaching others, using parables to explain difficult things. It speaks of a leader who was arrested, judged and finally crucified. The song does not just recount facts, but gives an image of someone who faced the authorities and was punished for what he said. The music has a strong rhythm, with a guitar that stands out and a voice that moves between high and low tones. The song lasts three minutes and forty-four seconds, and on Last.fm it has more than 292 thousand plays. It is a song that not only tells a story, but puts it to music in a way that makes it memorable. ↓ Skip to chordsVerse 1
