Face It Alone

[u/Ok-Airport1066]

I found this song literaly in an hour and I listened it 'roumd six time and I love it I just wanna talk about it with others what your opinoins about it?

[u/Jumento_doido]

Really good! Adore the omnious vibe.

[u/MillionaireWaltz-]

Shrug, I loved it. Atmospheric and haunting.

[u/LeftHandedGuitarist]

I found it quite flat. It needed a lot more work to turn it into something more interesting. A nice James Bond vibe to it, I guess.

[u/AVeryFineWhine]

I thought it was good for what it was.... A track that didn't make the cut for the Magic album, a track that didn't make the cut for Made in Heaven, and was eventually slapped on as a bonus track, not that many years ago.

If you look at it that way, it's better than most would be. If you compare it to a Queen song, not so much.

Don't you mean the Miracle album?

[u/Deluxe_24_]

I didn't care for it at first but I've come around to liking it a lot. The arrangement is a bit strange and that's probably due to the unfinished nature of the song, but Freddie's vocal performance is great and I'm glad we have a finished version of the song.

[u/RustyFaceRMT]

The demo that it’s based on is interesting to me. Those pieces feel like this song had a lot of potential. What eventually did come out as a song is something Brian and Roger should never have released in my opinion. It never reaches the level of the demo and it feels very hollow and bland. So I listened to the official release once, was very disappointed and never returned to it. I’ll choose the demo every day over the release.

[u/GetOnMyNick]

I’d only wish the arrangement was more fleshed out, it’s a bit sparse with just Freddie with drums and guitar

[u/MrMoog26 → u/GetOnMyNick]

I agree. If Freddie hadn’t passed away I can’t imagine the song would have ended up like this. Some arrangement more along the lines of Who Wants To Live Forever would be more apt. This sounds like a polished demo to me

[u/evanmichaels67]

I absolutely love it. It was great to hear a new Queen song and I really enjoy Freddie’s vocals.

[u/cggalba]

Didn’t expect much from what was a leftover track but loved it when I heard it. Haunting and beautiful song.

[u/spiciestbeans]

Beautifully written song, emotional and powerful. Horribly destroyed by pitch correction and shitty modern production. I’ll never listen to it willingly. I forget that it exists. Such a shame what the producers did to it, there was so much more potential for this poor archival track from the vaulted

[u/Fit_Front6239]

I don’t like it. It doesn’t sound like Queen. It just doesn’t have the ‘Queen sound’

[u/Ok-Airport1066 → u/Fit_Front6239]

I like it very much, cuz it isn't an avarege Queen song

[u/aisle_nine]

Meh

[u/borntorun24]

It's an odd song but it's because it was never a complete song, Brian and Roger tried to turn it into something it wasn't. Still it's always good to hear Freddie's voice.

[u/Candid-Sky-3258]

Barrel scrapings.

[u/Musiclover0913]

“These Are the Day of Our Lives” is just one example, but every time I listen to it, it makes me reflect on so many things, and I can’t help but feel sad. It’s heartbreaking to think that Freddie must have known his time was running out.

[u/El-Robbbo]

Not very fond of it 

[u/Automatic_Age_8038]

Feel like it belongs to Innuendo- it gives off the ‘Don’t try so hard’ vibe
