can never find it again without extreme trial and tribulation.
Psyche, the maiden, was united briefly with the God Eros, the god who existed before the world, before life and before light. It is this link of Psyche to the spark of Eros within the creators that takes us to our own personal passion and holds us briefly in its embrace before we are once again cast forth, naked in that we are open, to the real world.
The creators of this divine spark, those infused with the essence of Eros, are those whom we idolise. In their productions, we find completeness and catch a glimpse of our unity. It was Freddie's glory and Freddie's tragedy that he provided this spark to so many. In his own way he gave of his inspiration, of his love, to those of his fans who heard him. As a giver of music it is the listening to him and the allowing of that voice and that timbre to enter the soul that brings the spark of Unity with the listener. Everything else was a vehicle to the delivery of the ultimate vocal expression: something he practised all his singing life and which can be seen easily in the vocal improvisations in his live concerts.
It is undoubted that Freddie was a musical genius and it his his stage presence, his movements, his lifestyle and his mystery that enhances the vocal Eros that links to us, flows into us, and creates within us the Unity of Psyche and the Divine. It is these instances, these times when the divine spark of Freddie flows into the listener that the true immortality of Freddie comes to the fore. The first time the music envelopes the soul, the state of Unity is reached and from then on, the memory of that is always with the listener and the knowledge is held every time the music plays. The singer sings and the listener is transported into a world of passion, of satiation, of knowing that oneness that is the ultimate goal and in their soul, in their Psyche, the spark of Freddie lives forever.
