I love Drowse also

I think Brian sings the songs he wrote best. (For ex. 39, Too Much Love Will Kill You)

I really like Drowse as well. "It's the mistier mist, the hazier haze, the brighter suns, and the easier lays" -sheer bloody poetry!

I agree with Zebonka on Freddie singing on '39. His voice doesn't fit it well, but I think he needed to sing it live as his voice carries much better than Brian's in that era. In fact, there are times I can't here Brian at all in some of those shows.

You just pointed out my favorite lyrics from the song :D

Last time we had a discussion thread regarding Freddie's singing of 39, someone (I don't remember who) said that Freddie's version was too "jolly" for the song, and I agree with that.   

And for me, Freddie's interpretation and singing of 39 is waaaay too camp.

Exactly.

Really?  I'm interested can you tell me why, with details?

His delivery is all out of whack, doesn't match the song at all.  Even if Freddie had gone with a gentler sound, his soft sound is different to Brian's and it wouldn't have sounded right.  (shrugs)

I have to agree with Zebonka. Brian is better suited for the song.
[/QUOTE]If Freddie Mercury had gone with a gentler sound, similar to the way he sang "Love of My Life" live, it wouldn't have sounded right. Don't get me wrong, I believe Freddie is one of the greatest vocalists ever; however, not all songs fit him [/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]By the way, the Live in Ukraine version of this song is excellent. If you like how Brian sings '39 live, I would recommend purchasing the song.[/QUOTE]
