Not gonna lie, one of my favorite parts about writing urban fantasy is determining how and where the fantasy meshes in with reality.

Like, I’m not saying Freddie Mercury WAS a siren, but have you ever heard anyone NOT sing along to Bohemian Rhapsody?

I rest my case.

It is a six-minute song with incomprehensible lyrics that seem to have something to do with murder and demons, with five sections that are completely different stylistically but no chorus.

It was number one on the the UK singles charts twice, 15 years apart, and is by many measures one of the most popular, or the most popular, single of all time.

Yeah, there’s magic involved.

And an absurdly broad swathe of people know it. I have no memory of learning it, do you?

freddy mercury isnt a siren, hes a child of apollo, god of music. Bohemian rhapsody was his magnum opus and everyone automatically knows the lyrics as a way to appease the gods.
