It does make sense. I'd be surprised if he didn't write something at least with AIDS in mind.
When life hands you lemons, add vodka.
aha when i heard hitman i thought that it was about aids, and a hitman is someone who kills people isnt it? but it must have been so hard for him to sing it

I want your life
Ain't no escaping

i really admire him for still carrying on when he knew he couldnt do anything about it.

but i have to say what really gets me is on DTSH when he sings its only fools they make these rules, those words are so beautiful, i dunno why, lol gets me everytime!
Well, every song in Innuendo is like a hidden hint, right ... Every song - the topic or some lines at least - have an innuendo, a hint to them ...

Apart from the obvious ones - Innuendo, SMGO, IGSM, TATDOOL, even in songs like:

I can't live with you - i just cant live, i just cant live
Don't try so hard - dont try so hard
Ride the wild wind - it ain't dangerous
Hitman - i want your life, aint no escaping
All God's People - look, touch and feel
That time will come, 1 day youll see, when we can all be friends
i don't think that there are too many links between the Innuendo songs and Freddie's health. you can link everything to death or aids if you look for death in things...it is the end of everyone after all.
Anything too stupid to be said... is sung.
Strange thing, I don't like the Innuendo song... I do love the album, I mean, other songs, but Innuendo was always one of my least liked Queen songs. I know that many people say that it should be the same honoured as BoRha, but I myself never understood why it actually SHOULD be...
Well, now I wonder, do you all love Innuendo and this is just me who thinks differently? :) I know, I know... I'm weird.. ;)

It's a beautiful song. But for some reason, when I listen to it (and Headlong and Hitman) I am uncomfortable. He is still a magnificent singer, but doesn't sound 'well'.
Well, I just got back into listening to Innuendo. I find the track very intricate with lots of nice ideas. But it is emotionally heavy. I think that's why I didn't like it.

I wondered about the words in "Don't Try So Hard": Either it's easy for them on the top of the heap to come up with such sentiments. But actually I think the advice is sound. Certainly it resonates with me and my situation.

I could never get into "All God's People".

But the rest are very fine pieces of work.

Can't anyone see it?

Me either. Bugger off you crumby old tarts.

I love the song Innuendo.....I may...MAY ...like it just as much as Bohemian Rhapsody actually.

I love "All Gods People"

And "Don't try so hard" is one of my favorite Queen songs.

WHILE FREDDIE'S VOICE SOUNDS AMAZING ON INNUENDO...HE SOUNDS...."THINNER"...IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE?

You know how later in Elvis Presley's career, while he still had a great voice, he sounded like a heavier person??

Freddie is the exact opposite....I remember when I first heard the Innuendo album, I thought....his voice is amazing, but he sounds like he weighs 120lbs.

The size of a person 9 times out of 10 comes to me by the way their singing voice sounds.

An obscure reference to this is early 1980's singer Christopher Cross, who had several smash hits such as "Sailing"....when the rest of the world saw how heavy he was...his career was over.

I always knew he was heavy, because i could hear it.
