Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song Somebody to Love by George Michael and Queen describe the feelings of loneliness and desperation for companionship that the singer is experiencing. Starting each day feeling like he is dying a little and can barely stand on his feet, he looks in the mirror and cries, wondering what has happened to him. Despite having spent all of his years believing in someone, he cannot find any relief. He prays every day for someone to love and finds himself being put down by everybody. He recognizes that he has no feel, no rhythm but he’s okay and won’t face defeat. All he wants is to be free and find somebody to love.


The song is a heart-wrenching portrayal of one's search for love and acceptance. It resounds with most people who have ever felt lonely, unappreciated, and undervalued. The lyrics represent a longing for that special someone who can make everything better and provide a sense of purpose and belonging.

George Michael was 100% the right person to sing this song. He sounds amazing. It’s so sad he’s gone now too. God bless you George. We miss you.

@okisuprayogi6928

He is indeed. RIP George & Freddy

@rohnakp2396

George could have been queen's vocalist

@mooseman3567

ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT GEORGE MICHAEL (RIP) WAS THE 1 AND ONLY CLOSET TO FREDDIE (RIP) AND STILL PUT A LITTLE OF HIS OWN INCREDIBLE TALENT TO RESPECTFULLY FRONT QUEEN AFTER FREDDIE PASSED.
GREATEST TRIBUTE IMO OF THIS INCREDIBLE RELIGIOUS TRIBUTE TO AN INCREDIBLE ARTIST.
PEACE,
Tom 🍀✌

Love George’s cover of this. He didn’t try to imitate Freddy’s pitch like everyone else. He just sung it with Freddie’s passion with his own voice.

@zivanajadresic2858

Incredibly beautiful performance with his unique wonderful colourful voice.Like a beautiful flower on the stage.

@victoriawashington565
