Chorus 1
-
Chord progression up until Bar 17: Bb (6), Dm (1), Gm (4), Dm (1), Fm (4), A7 (5), Dm (1)
Bar 18: The key is C major (chordal progressions: 5 - 4 - 5 - 1). The accompanying guitar, and voices are panned during the "ba - ba - ba - ba" and is diatonically ascending in C major. This is word painting of "mind blowing".
-
Bar 17: D minor key ends at the end of the bar here. Laser beam uses flanger (phase shifter) and is a word painting of laser beams.
Bar 19: Bb chord on "anytime", which is sung an octave higher.
-
-
Bar 22: There is a 5th between a Bb and an F before going into the Instrumental. this secures a feeling of "F" for a while. It also signifies that we are no longer in the chorus. Flanger on "Wanna-try"
-
-
Verse 2
Bar 27: There is a pedalled C that is played by the piano's left hand which is played again in bar 29 with the bass guitar also pedalling a C.
-
Bar 29: dissonance of a Bb7 chord over a C in the bass. There is also a guitar fill with pitch bending in this bar.

-
Verse 3
-
-
Bar 62: wah-wah present in beat four of this bar as word painting for "playful as a pussy cat" to envision the cat. Octave jump from "hat" to "she"
Goes from C minor in bar 62 to E minor in Bar 64. The parts in bars 62 are also partially sequenced into bar 64.

Guitar Interlude
-
Bar 22 - Bar 23: there is a dove-tail effect where the Bb of the chorus into the F pedal in bar 23 instrumental. Plagal cadence as it goes from Bb to F (IV to I)
Bar 23: the piano's left hand is playing an F pedal while the right hand plays chords that are syncopated. It is a vamp; a repeating idea until a solo returns
-
-
Chords mostly fluctuate between a Bb/F, F11, an F, a Bb, and an Eb/G
Chorus 2
-
-
At the end of "anytime" at bar 43, the melody shifts from the voice to the the guitar solo
-
-
-
Intro
Bar 5 to 7: from Cm to Bb7 which is a 7ths. Going from this 7th to the 5th in bar 7 creates anticipation.
Bar 6: Drums enter along with the bass in an anacrusis into Bar 7. the 1st inversion happens when the Bb7 chord happens.
-
Melody is conjunct; moving in steps, and syllabic; a single syllable to a note.
-
Guitar Solo
-
7 bar phrase
Bar 47 beat 4 to 50: there is an F pedal like the instrumental. The drums are also syncopated until bar 49.
Bar 44 - 47: The chords are moving down in fifths. For example, it moves from A to Dm in bars 44 to 45, and G to Cm in bars 46 to 47.
-
Outro
Perfect 5th F to Bb in Bar 79. However, the Eb with a G underneath it that follows makes the song sound dodgy. This progression is played in Bar 80 too.
Bar 81, the progressions end with a F, Bb to Eb, which are all fifths away from each other. The final Bb to Eb makes the song feel finalised and over.
-
The piece in general
Key: Eb, but the key is usually ambiguos
Freddie's vocal range is originally a tenor, but he can sing into the falsettos.
-
Transcript: The song never had actual sheet music and thus somebody had to transcribe the song into sheet music.
-
-
Over dubbing: When you put multiple recordings of a certain instrument of choice in order to create a choir feel (eg. the guitars during the guitar solo in bars 53 to 61.)
-
Time Signature: 12/8, which is compound time. This is quite unusual for a pop song.
