Question about "Sail Away Sweet Sister"...

The lyrics are about a miscarriage. the whole GAME album is about miscarriage. Another One Bites The Dust is the most sadistic song ever[/QUOTE]

i wasn't relating the lyrics to a miscarriage. i was just throwing it out.

I thought it was about a girl who wasn't really his sister, but Brian thought of her as a sister...mabey...

that sounds reasonable!

Well, I just think he wanted a baby sister. Why is that so hard to believe?

I wanted one once, but my mum has actually had two or three miscarriages.. Could have had yet another older brother or sister - maybe two - and a baby sister/brother.

Kinda scary... 6 or 7 children.. pfew xD

Some people have told me that it was deticated to the sister I never had. I love that song. It deeply touches my heart. I wrote a letter to brian on his soapbox asking him what inspired him to write the song, but I got no reply. It's okay though. I know he must be busy.

"Some people" are Serry and WhatMustHeThink took it from the sleeve to The Game album.

Whatever! I'm not bothered about the meaning of the song, the song itself is brilliant! =)

Double Post.

:D :D :D :D :D!!

I think it's about Brian's sister that was either a miscarriage or infant death. I heard this years ago, so the information is definitely suspect. I also heard that Brian's #1 regret in Queen history was that he didn't step aside and let Freddie sing lead on this song. I'm personally glad he didn't, not that I wouldn't want to hear the results, but because of how great a job Brian does on it. A Great song for sure!!!!

Influenced lyrically and perhaps in sentiment by the Beatles' 'She's Leaving Home'?

Lyrics
Wednesday morning at five o'clock
As the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside, she is free
She(we gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (we gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home, after living alone, for so many years (bye bye)
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
"Daddy, our baby's gone.
"Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?"
She (we never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving…

nice necro Holly.
yes, there's certainly lots of lyrical parallels between the two.
