I like the song, but i really love the AKOM album from start to finish. This song is what it is, a great pop song with no pretentions to be something else.

By the way i just realised that it feature the lyrics " Don't drink and drive my car, Don't get breathalised " wich is tottaly irrelevant to its Highlander concept.
So that rumor i stated in the first post about Deacon, may be true.[/QUOTE]
Some people say that this was a private joke to John Deacon because he was pulled over by the police and got breathalised, but i don`t know if this was the original inspiration behing the song.
I love it because it´s so 80´s, and can´t count the quantity of 80´s synth driven tunes from other bands besides Queen that I love so much as well !
Guys, in case you wanna give the track another (fresh!) try, pls head over to the fan mixes section and check what the brilliant Matt is doing with his HD album revisions. He´s currently working on AKOM and a few days ago posted his take on DLYH. To me, it sounds better than ever!

Holly, you're right the guitar solo in Rain Must Full is by far the only exciting bit, pity the fade out starts so soon. But it is a bit of a long shot to like a Queen track just because Brian's solo. Remember it is my view on a Queen song, or for that matter Queen songs, in my believe Rain Must Fall, Pain is So Close, Cool Cat are a 'bit' below the Queen standards. But that's the thing with music, especially Queen music. Tracks I don't care that much, about can be a highlight for somebody else, but that is another and differnt topic.

Joan Armatrading once said this about her guest vocals on Don't Lose Your Head:
"I was in the Townhouse studio making The Key album and Queen were in the next studio to me, and Roger Taylor came over and asked me if I would just walk over to his studio and say these words on the song, which I did, and then after I'd finished, the next thing I knew was Roger walking in with a MASSIVE bunch of flowers!"

I just found this from another interview:
"We were in the same studio at the townhouse and Roger Taylor just came and asked me if I’d come in and do it and I said 'yeah, sure', Freddie wasn’t there at the time but all the guys are really nice."
