[@chad8949]

Aah, aah In the land where horses born with eagle wings And honey bees have lost their stings There's singing forever, ooh yeah Lion's den with fallow deer And rivers made from wine so clear Flow on and on forever Dragons fly like sparrows thru' the air And baby lambs where Samson dares To go on on on on on on My fairy king can see things He rules the air and turns the tides That are not there for you and me Ooh yeah he guides the winds My fairy king can do right and nothing wrong Ah, then came man to savage in the night To run like thieves and to kill like knives To take away the power from the magic hand To bring about the ruin to the promised land, aah, aah They turn the milk into sour Like the blue in the blood of my veins Why can't you see it Fire burning in hell with the cry of screaming pain Son of heaven set me free and let me go Sea turn dry, no salt from sand Seasons fly no helping hand Teeth don't shine like pearls for poor man's eyes, aah Someone, someone has drained the colour from my wings Broken my fairy circle ring And shamed the king in all his pride Changed the winds and wronged the tides Mother Mercury Mercury Look what they've done to me I cannot run, I cannot hide La la la la la la la la la la la la

[@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095]

@@naomi-pl1wg *_"most of their songs are all of them singing together"_* No they're not. John Deacon did not sing at all until maybe later on in the '80s, even if videos showed him miming the words. Unless by "all of them" you mean Freddie, Roger and Brian, then yes, all three sang on most of them. Some of Roger's and Brian's songs were just them, Melancholy Blues and a few others were just Freddie. {:o:O:}

Brilliant. One of Queen's best songs. Freddie's imagination was just amazing.

[@Bartholo-meow]

i love how Freddie and Roger have two different types of falsetto (smooth & harsh).. talk about balance..

[@gabriellaveres9179]

""My Fairy King" was the first Queen song to feature Mercury's piano skills. Guitarist Brian May said of the song's recording: "This was the first time we'd really seen Freddie [Mercury] working at his full capacity. He's virtually a self-taught pianist, and he was making vast strides at the time, although we didn't have a piano on stage at that point because it would have been impossible to fix up. So, in the studio was the first chance Freddie had to do his piano things and we actually got that sound of the piano and the guitar working for the first time which was very exciting. 'My Fairy King' was the first of these sort of epics where there were lots of voice overdubs and harmonies. Freddie got into this, and that led to 'The March Of The Black Queen' on the second album and then 'Bohemian Rhapsody' later on."

[@Bartholo-meow]

wait doesn't that means Freddie have perfect pitch?

Beautiful song. None of Queen's later work equalled their first two albums. They still are amazing today

[@lepi7921]

First four tho

[@g.moeller308]

I continued to feel loyalty and affection for Queen even as their work became less compelling. Their first two albums were the best, but I wouldn't have discovered them if not for "Bohemian Rhapsody" which remains unparalleled to this day. Their 80s albums included some gems along with the foot stomper stadium anthems.

[@amazinggrace4507]

Innuendo is a magnificent album!

[@elotroladodelarealidadjr8470]

This Queen period was great , Misterios, new , risky and musically rich and beautiful... too advanced and complicated for the masses at that time but all of those changes they did made them interesting and did get the attention from people even if the press and media put them down and didn't give them much credit or publicity like other bands which some of them were great but not majestic... rarities and their hits and unique sound made them always have the attention and here they are now still sound right even without making new material their music lives on because there's no been another band like Queen since or after them
