Nice, but I won't remember. I'll have to hope someone tapes it for me.

I'll bump this a few times throughout the day to give any late-risers a chance to hear it.

The thing is, Freddie was a bit of a perfectionist and probably didn't want this 'airing'. Queen milking a talent they no longer have. Again.

Old_Geezer

Great, thanks, has it gone 11am already then ? Where does the time go ?

I agree with you ZM. I've said for a long time that May and Taylor have been milking the Queen cow for all it's worth.
Having listened to the song a half dozen times or so, i will say that i like it. However, judging by the lack of lyrics, it does come across as something Freddie was maybe playing around with in the studio but hadn't quite got around to finishing. Many bands have these forgotten/discarded tracks lying around.

Old_Geezer

Took a few lines before it picked up IMO, but it ain't bad. It would've made a decent LP filler track; I can't really see it as a chart topping single though.

Ken thank you for posting this. just had a listen and so lovely to hear Freddie's voice again on something new.
What a loss he is.

MrsLadyBug

Thanks for that Ken. I had read about it and was about to go looking for it .
Not perfection as some here think, but still lovely to hear his voice again.
