My apologies for ranting on you when the people who raised and educated you are the ones who deserve a good scolding. You deserve special lauding for taking an interest in Latin - the mother of Western languages.
Freddie Mercury was indeed an odd duck but still reigns as the greatest vocalist of the rock music genre. His voice spanned three octaves and, while never learning music properly, he plunked out most of Queen’s hits on a piano.
When I was 17 my music teacher introduced to us “We Will Rock You”, a song with unique timing he explained originated with Gregorian chants from ancient Catholic monks. That teacher, Mr. Pickle, looked nerdishly like his name but loved his calling so much that he fired up the love of music in his students who payed attention. His sort of teaching passion was illustrated in the film “Drumline”.
Check that song out on YouTube and note the purposeful drag between the lead and the rhythm. There’s a similar drag in the Led Zeppelin song “Kashmir” (but Queen did it first). And enjoy the following anthem of school bands everywhere, “We are the Champions”. Queen purposely placed those songs together segue. Few groups these days put craft above commercialism like they did.
