Spread your wings - anybody like this song?

Just wondering why it only got to number 34 in the UK, i think its a great song that shoudl of got much higher than that

John didnt write many songs but the ones he did were usually great

I think this song is one of Queen's masterpieces... LOVE IT!

"Spread your wings - anybody like this song?"

No, everybody hates it. In fact, everyone on this forum hates every Queen-song. That is why we are fans. What's your next question going to be? "Does anybody here breathe air sometimes?"

The BBC version is simply amazing

Totally agree with you Pittrek, especially the master tape version that was so kindly shared by John Stuart (With some help from you of course).

When I play that track it's like the band are right there in the room.

Yep - cracking number.

ALL the BBC versions of the NOTW material are better than the album versions IMHO.

NOTW as a whole has very, very little to apologize for.

I second that Benn!!!

i always prefered the Live Killers version.

Spread Your Wings is the ultimate proof that Queen is one of the greatest Rock-bands on the planet.
The mere fact that without any layered effects or backing vocals they STILL can deliver a powerful song like this is utterly mezmerising..

The BBC version only adds to the genious as it includes the power of 'Playing live together'..

glorious

Spread Your Wings is totally indicative of Queen.

That any member of the band could write wonderful songs and also be cabable of writing hit singles too.John proved that by writing this song that writing You're My Best Friend was no fluke.

its a top top song! well just like every other queen song, but you can feel the passion in it. like a lot of their songs its totally overlooked.

Queen as a whole tended to do emotional songs very well, its certainly one of my favorites

i love that song, but i love all Queen songs, im weird like that ^_^

Without a doubt one of their very best songs IMO. Freddie's vocal delivery is fantastic.  As mentioned the BBC version is awesome as well.
