Rain Must Fall

I love it. Bass line great. Guitar work great.

Why do people not like it?

It is almost definitive.

(ok, programmed drums sound shit..)

I don't know. I love it. Even if it's a rip off of that Candi Staton song "Young hearts are free"


Maybe it's cause others seem to think that you're overdramatizing problems at work. So, it's hardly surprising.

Happy memories of this song. Very happy.

The song reminds me of an instrumental part in "Let´s Dance", starting at 2:56

Not only would I make the link work, I would make it start at the point you are trying to make.

My favourite "positive" song.
Reminds me that shity days come and go.
Love it.

Embarrassing where Queen has gone at times. Listened to it for the first time in almost 30 years, in case I was missing something. It's a crap song and only slightly better than this

Couldn't agree more with Moog. I love the song!!

One of my favourites on The Miracle, which automatically makes it one of my favourite Queen songs of the 1980s. Brings back memories of listening to the album for the first time in early 1995 when I was in year 10 at school.

well, relative to the Queen catalog - it's weak. relative to their 80s output minus The Game, it's average-to above average. In no way is it bad. In fact, within the Miracle i rank it right after I Want It All, The Miracle, Breakthru and Was it All Worth It. (smack in the middle not counting bonus). slick production, refreshing and unexpected. Also, a nod to Who Needs You, in my opinion.

My Baby Does Me, on the other hand...

mooghead probably wishes that link wouldn't work.

Rain Must Fall isn't embarrassing. Pain is So Close To Pleasure, Don't Lose Your Head & Machines come to mind. Don't Lose Your Head mainly because of its message in relation to Highlander, in that the only way for a Highlander to die is if he loses his head.... wow.

(...Don't drink and drive your car, don't get breathalyzed... )

Look at the song in the context of the album: something light, poppy, easy to listen to. In its intent, not much different to Misfire, Leroy Brown, Lazing..., and even Delilah
Love it or leave it.

I think My Baby Does Me is really dodging a bullet here.

I can't listen to Queen objectively sadly. If it brings me happiness by association, it's good. RMF, like many of the tracks from 1989 are skippers though because I don't want to ruin my memory of them. When it's sunny and it feels right, I'll listen and pretend I'm 12 again. This happens once every 24 months.

For example, if RMF as on the OST and got a spin in the office, I'd walk out.

Like it or not, that was the way they constructed eclectic albums. They didn't do the record with 11 hitmans, was it all worth it or princess of the universe on it. J.Deacon wrote easy listening songs, you're my best friend, need your loving, i want to break free, pain is so close to pleasure, friend will be friends (i know, corighted), rain must fall - some of them were better, some became hits, but the main direction was the same all the time.

the only thing i don't stand - these casio style programmed drums, it's a crap. they sound cheap.
