Queen to release "There is more to life than this" as new single.

Hé Gerry, were did you get this information from? I read on the Queen online forum that LMIYHA was the obvious choice for the single as it already appeared frequently on the UK radio playlists.

Tom

I can confidently confirm that "There is more to life than this" is the new Queen single and it will be record of the week on BBC radio2 starting from tomorrow on Ken Bruce's show.
I am disappointed because "Let me in your heart again" would have been the obvious choice, but because william orbitt
worked on the Freddie/jackson track the band were pushed to release it.

Thank you Gerry, a pity that the new single isn't in fact a new single...

Tom

Hey tomp63 i was very shocked at what was chosen for the new single.
i am sure there are more Queen unreleased tracks and that Brian is telling porkies saying that there isnt.

OFFS..
LMIYHA has an obvious double meaning and it's by far the better of the 3 songs.
Still, as Tom says, unless it's a physical release, I don't suppose it really matters.

yes i agree LMIYHA is the best song and its a traditional Queen song, it is shocking how id never made "The Works" album
and yet "Man on the prowl did" which in my opinion is awful.

I hope they´ll release it in physical format...

Hopefully its not the crappy mix.


This is obviously a commercial stretch and WHO WOULDN'T?



It'll garner attention to the album (which is currently priced towards a SINGLE CD rate)

Marketing decision but kinda disappointing.

Of course "let me in your heart again" would be a fitting cadence to the repertoire. But. ...

I for one find it rather poor that a 'new' Queen album uses Jackson to get some attention. Really does Queen need Jackson as a verhicle for an abum?

yeah in my opinion the jackson track should have been dropped and concentrate on Freddie
and unreleased tracks.

Oh no, this song no!

it's sound business sense - surely we can all see that?

Queen = established fanbase
Michael Jackson = established fanbase

this maximises potential single (and susequent) album sales as Michael Jackson fans get introduced to Queen

Shit song. Hope it tanks.

Poor choice ! But obvious why, Max revenue from Queen and Jacko fans. Dissapointing !!
