Freddy Mercury and the band Queen had a habit of creating songs that could unite their audiences in song. All you have to do is see a stadium of people singing "We Are the Champions" in unison to witness the raw power of the band's uniquely unifying approach to arena rock. But what happened at a performance in Hyde Park was uplifting even by the high standards set by the band.

Powerful music transcends the bonds of time, and that was indeed true of the Green Day show on July 1. Although 65,000 fans had gathered together to see the pop-punk band whose hits include "American Idiot" and "Basketcase", they had a shared love for a song written over 40 years ago.

No one seems to know exactly how the chain of music got started, but in short order, a majority of the fans were singing the favourite arena hit in unison with one another. While Bohemian Rhapsody was memorialised in a famous scene from Wayne's World and has become a standard for karaoke night throughout the world, it was still stunning to see that many people were joining together in a single rendition.

The fact that the six-minute song is practically a rock opera in its own right makes it even more impressive.

Despite being arguably overshadowed by their own audience and the legacy of a defunct band, the boys of Green Day seemed impressed by the show of solidarity from their fans. In fact, it was the band that decided to share the video on their YouTube channel, and the spontaneous display quickly became a viral hit on social media.

This is clearly a sign that music is an engine that can bring us all together. Despite the cultural differences and different lived experiences between these thousands of people, they all had a single song in common. Be sure to watch the video, and then spread the message to all of your friends and family.
