Freddie has spoken of his love of Aretha Franklin before, hence the inspiration for the song’s style. Not only is it musically like a gospel song, but the lyrics are reminiscent of the typical struggles sung heartily in gospel songs. In the video, the man filming is heard saying, since I work for that company, my CEO has told me to come out today and bring you on your knees. Prosthetic knees are designed for people who have amputations above their knee, and thus lack the knee joint and lower leg. The gospel -esque harmonies are influenced by Aretha Franklin, and similar to her style, is very loose and free flowing. It is quite something to note that not only was Freddie Mercury singing, but also Brian May and Roger Taylor.

The multi-tracking of vocals previously present on songs such as “Killer Queen” and “Bohemian Rhapsody”, Queen achieves beautiful harmonies throughout, with the backing vocals used mostly in echo and canon, either restating the preceding line or altering it slightly. Queen substitutes typical Rock power chords for more lush, thick harmonies. Following the acclaimed A Night at the Opera, Queen continues their more progressive rock style, as opposed to their initial hard rock sound. The song hit number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and is the sixth track on A Day at the Races, Queen’s fifth album.

Lyrics ranging from “each morning I get up I die a little” to “everyone wants to put me down” portray Freddie as damaged, depressed and ultimately longing for love as a means of leaving his sorrows. Got no feel, I got no rhythm I just keep losin' my beat (You just keep losing and losing) I'm okay, I'm alright (He's alright, he's alright) I ain't gonna face no defeat (Yeah, yeah) I just gotta get out of this prison cell (One day) Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love (Find me, find me) Find me somebody to love (Find me) Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love-ove-ove (Ooh, find me, find me) Find me somebody to love (Somebody to love) Find me somebody to love Somebody (Somebody) Somebody (Somebody) Somebody (Find me) (Somebody find me somebody to love) Can anybody find me Somebody to love? (Find me somebody to love) Ooh (Find me somebody to love) Find me somebody (Find me somebody to love) Somebody, somebody, somebody to love (Find me somebody to love) Find me, find me Find me, find me, find me (Find me somebody to love) Ooh, somebody to love (Find me somebody to love) Ooh, find me, find me Find me somebody to love (Find me somebody to love) Anybody, anywhere, anybody Find me somebody to love, love Find me, find me, find me, find meĪs strongly in the major key this song is, it tells quite the tale.
