ANNOUNCE: Time Waits For No One - Freddie Mercury

Sounds like they've run this vocal track thru pitch correction, just like Let me in your heart again. What a shame. As if the original vocal track needed any of that but they seem to like Freddie sounding robotic.

Do not act like an expert, you are not good at it. Everything is fine in the track.

I am hoping that if Dave Clarke contacted Freddie to record s few tracks for Time, and we have Time and In My Defence, are they some demos in a vault somewhere, yet to see the light of day.

Still not back on UK Spotify.

Interesting that absolutely nothing about this release us being promoted on the Official Queen or Freddie sites/Facebook/Tweets etc. There’s some heavy politics going down here.

Hmm. Sounds like there were at least two takes that Freddie performed of this song for the soundtrack. It's obviously the same take that was used for the majority of the final mix on the Time soundtrack album and the later reworking(s), but there's some Freddie stuff towards the end of this raw take that were cut from the final mix to make room for the choir parts, which I suspect were considered more appropriate for a musical-style recording. But there's also some things in the final mix that Freddie sings, like the ad libs during the final choruses, which are not present in this raw take. Of course it's possible that maybe only the ad libs were recorded after the choir bits had been added in. Very interesting.

Thank you for this

Yep, I hate how the whole vocal take is run thru' AutoTune. As if Freddie ever needed that. And it only makes it sound bad...

Also, I think there are some phrasings (if that's the way to say it in English) that are purely produced by studio modifications with algorithms like Melodyne or AutoTune instead of being sung by Freddie in the original take. Or at least that's the impression it gives me. It's double bad, to say the least...

Beautiful version!
Defenitely stronger than the original recording.
But something is missing, maybe some decent drums.[/QUOTE]

I think what's missing is a pianist who's connected with Freddie's vocal performance. It isn't a bad piano take, but it lacks power in some parts where it's needed to follow Freddie's vocal intensity.

----------------

Besides some things which I didn't liked, it's VERY welcome to have something new or unheard from Freddie/Queen. The fact that I don't like some things, doesn't means it's utter shit. I still like to hear new stuff.

Thanks to lewisakkas for sharing the MP3 and thank you very much Wilki for sharing a lossless rip (at least we don't get to lose more quality than the source).

Thanks for the share, very moving version. Without the big production, we can appreciate how much Freddie could bring nuances in melodies and mean every word, singing his heart out.

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing! Another terrible cover. -.-

What a negativity. Great cover. Make a better one yourself ??

I think that's a great Cover.

Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful version of Time.

Thanks for share!
