    considered one of the greatest songs of all time‚ the Bohemian Rhapsody graced the ears of people around the world in 1975. Not only does it feature musical genius‚ the lyrics possess considered weight and meaning‚ something many modern-day “top hits” often lack. Although the song seems extremely depressing to anyone who actually listens to the lyrics‚ rather than the catchy melody‚ it features ethos‚ pathos‚ and logos‚ as the narrator pleas for his life after committing a murder. The song opens with the
