Does anyone know what Freddie's song "Yellow Breezes" was all about? Perhaps it was drugs making his vision yellow? Any ideas guys ?
S
Could be about a severe attack of Jaundice and Diarrhea.
F
Possibly about peeing against the wind.

The bass sound I think suggests it was originally called Brown Breezes.

This was meant to be a serious discussion but as usual you all act like 5 year old kids.
Pretty pathetic.

Yes sorry we should've been more serious when discussing Yellow Breezes' labyrinthine palimpsest set of lyrics

What ever the reason behind the song it is always interesting to find out what a song was intentionally about instead of all the childish replies. Some of us really want to know what Freddie's songs are all about. Mercury always wrote very interesting songs.

You ruin every topic you contribute to so this is people treating you the way you treat others. Not nice, is it? But I'm sure you'll fail to learn that simple lesson and continue whining like the whiny bitch you are.

I believe Lord Mayor Thomas Bloodworth said a similar thing to Samuel Pepys after the Great Fire.

My take: Freddie was watching Jim Hutton's underwear flapping on the windowsill early one morning.... glowing yellow in the sun.


But of course this is only speculative stuff, not conjecture - and is unfounded and likely incorrect....

Without the full tape or someone who was present, we may never know

“Yellow breezes” was north eastern slang for a hangover long ago, he more than likely learned the phrase in NYC or touring New England.
