All Dead, All Dead

"All Dead All Dead"

I think Brian's voice is one of the finest in this song... not the same but sort of like low-range Freddie voice... Brian's voice is always a little too lacklustre for my taste, but this song, I love.

"All dead all dead
But I should not grieve
In time it comes to ev'ryone"

Quite a lyric... (cries)

It's a good song. But I can't for the life of me figure out where the 'Memories, memories...' bit at the beginning comes in - it's never sung.

Brian admitted in a radio interview in '89 (the "In The Studio" thing) that the song was about his cat that died when he was a child. After finding that out, I wonder even more about what the "memories" part.

Brian wrote this song after his cat died. The txt (see sig) is not sung, it's just a sort of intro, to set the tone. I hope that makes sense lol

(edit) "that is my fav song on the news of the world album and it is such a good love song my mum had it played at her reception for her wedding ahhh well lets hope this song brings her luck 5th time lucky."

This song at a wedding?? Are you sure she was happy to get married, I mean, it's such a sad song....

I always thought of the added text as I did with Sail Away Sweet Sister (To the sister I never had). Just an added bit of melodrama :)

That's sweet about the cat though. Janet Jackson had a song dedicated to a lost cat.. 'Where Are You Now'. Just a useless fact.

The words actually fit the musical intro.

I read somewhere that it was supposed to be a duet between Freddie and Brian but they couldn't get the mix quite right.

A version with Freddie's vocals would have been nice -- but different!
