Delilah

Yea its not one of there best but I'm pretty sure its just a light hearted little number in some of the saddest periods in all four of the guys lives. Any song that has 3 grown men, never mind respected rock stars and song writers singing "meeoow" in triumphant unison is not supposed to be taken seriously

In short its not one I listen to often myself but its too humourous for me to consider it to be crap.

The song would have fit perfectly on a solo album of Freddie. Maybe that is what also would have happened if they did not have to rush so much from 1989 to 1991 because of Freddies illness? I'm going slightly mad would have been on his solo album too.

It shows Freddie doesn't take himself so serious and it is a light moment on a quite heavy album. It is a nice breath of air after listening those heavy songs like Innuendo, Headlong, Ride the Wild Wind and emotional heavy ones like Don't Try So Hard and These are the Days.

This track makes you ready for the finale with heavy songs as The Hitman and The Show Must Go On. I think it fits and I understand why the track appears on Innuendo. [/QUOTE]

wow! I never thought of it that way!
I love having new perspectives!

I hated "Delilah" before, but know it's GREAT, and it has been for a couple of years now...

It's my favorite on Innuendo, along with Slightly Mad and Don't Try So Hard.

The only reason that Delilah is on Innuendo is that Freddie was near death

I mean his voice sounds tired on it, but powerful and if i could sing like he does on that songs i'd be so happy!

Its a fun song, nothing to take too seriously.

I think it is brilliant. The music captures the feelings and moods of having a beloved cat in his life. The song is very Freddie.

I'm so proud of Brian too. What a nice gift he gave to Freddie on this song! The guitar was perfect.

I have a cat. He doesn't like it either.
