Pain Is So Close To Pleasure...

Maybe it's my fine-tuned ear, but every time I listen to this song, towards the fadeout there's a little "plink" like a Microsoft error signal! I love the song but the fadeout's always intrigued me...has anyone else heard this?? (Or am I really slightly mad? LOL)

Uggg, I love ya Lisa, but i have to say this is one the worse songs in the Queen catalog. Big mistake trying to release it as a single in the states.

I would like to say that Dont Loose Your Head is the worst Queen song ever.

Carry on

Don't Lose Your Head is okay in my book - very dark and atmospheric in general, good synths, excellent drum machine work, and an enjoyable guitar solo on the fadeout. It's very 80s in style, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Stealin', on the other hand, is shite.

Plink? It's not much, probably just a piano. What are you listening on!? :) Probably just in the same pitch.

"shame it wasn't a hit here in Holland"

It was, but a minor top 30 hit.

Pain Is So Close To Pleasure is ok, not one of my favourites but I can listen to it. And I also hear that, Lisa!
I hadn't noticed before but I just went to check!

Don't Lose Your Head sucks but Bicycle Race and most of the Hot Space album are the worst Queen songs IMO

Oh, and Flash Gordon!

Don't Lose Your Head isn't the best song off of AKOM, But Freddie's vocals on that ALWAYS impress me. His singing is enough to make me like it I should say. Off to listen for the 'plink'...
