When I'm Gone (middle 8) - Teo Torriate

[/QUOTE] The use of phaser effect on "surrealistic" is so SPOT ON. love it.

Also i agree so much with the "When I'm Gone (middle 8) - Teo Torriate" . Its an explosion!

BTW, have you listened the cover of Teo Torriate by Melee? Quite good and powerfull in my opinion.

Agree. The finale bars are a killer for me.

 "Someone someone has drained the colour from my wings....I cannot run I cannot hide"

And especially the line :"[b]Changed the winds and wronged the tides[/b]"
ETHEREAL!

Lovely topic!
I have so many, I don't know where to start.

I reign with my left hand, I rule with my right
I'm lord of all darkness, I'm queen of the night
I've got the power - now do the march of the black queen
(March of the Black Queen). It is just so powerful.

What is left of your dream?
Just the words on your stone
A man who learned how to teach
Then forget how to learn
(White Man)

Someone someone has drained the colour from my wings
Broken my fairy circle ring
And shamed the king in all his pride
Changed the winds and wronged the tides
Mother mercury (mercury)
Look what they've done to me
I cannot run I cannot hide
(My Fairy King)

The same moon shines
The same wind blows
For both of us, and time is but a paper moon. . .
(Teo Torriate)

So sad her eyes
Smiling dark eyes
So sad her eyes
As it began

On such a breathless night as this
Upon my brow the lightest kiss
I walked alone
And all around the air did say
My lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow known
The white queen walks and
The night grows pale
Stars of lovingmess in her hair
(White Queen)

If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky
If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask
(Innuendo)

Messenger from Seven Seas has flown
To tell the King of Rhye he's lost his throne
Wars will never cease
Is there time enough for peace
(Lily of the Valley)

I will stop now, cause really I could go on and on and on....

yeah. Freddie's twist on "The Pied Piper" is inspired

Sorry, I just had to add this.. It is eerily chilly.

I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent

(Save me)

But life still goes on
I can’t get used to, living without, living without,
Living without you by my side

"I used to bring you sunshine, now all I ever do is bring you down", is pretty heartbreaking

I love this verse from this delicate little number "Lily of the valley"

"Messenger from seven seas has flown
To tell the king of rhye he's lost his throne
Wars will never cease
is there time enough for peace
But the lily of the valley doesn't know"

A very beautiful Queen ditty penned by Freddie of course!

There is something in the "he's lost his throne" bit, the singing and bassline from John that gives an eastern music ( or greek) feel to it.
I am Greek and i know but i can't really tell what it is.

Stelios: yes you are right and it sounds very theatrical which was Freddie!
i loved Freddies little delicate numbers on early Queen albums, "nevermore" "Dear Friends" "Lazing on a sunday afternoon" "Lily of the Valley"
sadly these all stopped after "A night at the opera"
I wonder if these songs were just fillers on albums as later on all the bands stuff was more constructed compositions?
Still Freddie had a talent for those shorter songs!

Not a vocal, but I love this piano bit so much in The March Of The Black Queen at 3:51 - 3:57.

chief mouse: you think that piano piece you love so much in "The March of the Black Queen" had influences
on "Bohemian Rhapsody" ?

I've no idea about that particular bit, but I'd like to think that this song as a whole had some influence on Bohemian Rhapsody.

Now remenmber this beautiful part,

"Hotchild don't you know you're young
You got your whole life ahead of you?
And you can throw it away too soon
Way too soooooon!"
