Freddy Mercury
Incredible singer, powerful stage performance. He was the lead singer of the British Band Queen. He was born in Zanzibar in 1946, and passed away of AIDS on Nov. 24, 1991.
Freddy Mercury, wow.

Nile tweets about last summer's demos

@nilerodgers: Just had a great chat with @adamlambert in Sweden about one of the awesome unreleased songs we wrote w @avicii -Yeah! twitter.com/nilerodgers...



I am sure you remember that Nile, AVICII and Adam had a songwriting and recording session August 21, 2013.

Nile shared this photo of Adam on August 21, 2014.

@nilerodgers: I shot an emotional @adamlambert through the glass of the vocal boot. We had a great day recording w @avicii.



Prior to the writing and demo recording session, they appeared together at a benefit concert a benefit concert in New York (Monday, August 19, 2013).

94 days to go…
3.17.14 by Q3

There are 94 days until Chicago…so I thought I would start a countdown. And since I am counting down to the Queen + Adam Lambert Tour!!, What could be betterer than possible songs for Queen and Adam to perform in concert.

Assuming the change out a few songs during the tour, and do 22 – 24 unique songs a night (excluding the guitar and drum solos), there could be around 30 songs performed in these concerts. And hopefully, I get a lot of them in my countdown. But that won’t be easy. the Queen catalog is so big, the potential cover list is almost a universe, and there is a chance that they could also decide to perform an Adam song.

#94: "Nevermore" (1974)
Written by Freddie Mercury, recorded in August 1973 at Trident Studios, London.

I will start with a song that Queen never performed live, “Nevermore”, and my small tribute to Freddie (Adam I spelled it right!). My guess is that you may not be familiar with this Freddie Mercury composed piano ballad. It is from “Queen II”, an album Queen released before that became massively successful.

“Nevermore” is a very short track – only 1:18. It would fit beautifully into a medley with one or two other Queen ballads. If they made me Empress of the setlist, I would have Adam sing “Nevermore” accompanied by piano and little more, as the lead in to Brian performing “Love of My Life”. It would be a wonderful tribute to Freddie and there would not be a dry eye in the arena.

“Nevermore” and “Love of My Life” are both musically and lyrically connected. So even though this song would be new to most of the people in the audience, it would be familiar because almost every Queen fan knows “Love of My Life”.

Nevermore was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s poem, “The Raven” which was also about someone trying to forget the loss of his love, but whose undying devotion leads to a conflict between the desire to forget and desire to remember.

The lyrics are simple and heartfelt, and the melody and emo spirit would fit Adam like a …. like a .... like a hand crafted leather glove. (OK that was not my first leather clothing thought! Trust me, there will be “Zeus in a thong” song as the countdown progresses.)

"Nevermore"

There's no living in my life anymore
The seas have gone dry and the rain stopped falling
Please don't you cry anymore
Can't you see
Listen to the breeze, whisper to me please
Don't send me to the path of nevermore

Even the valleys below
Where the rays of the sun were so warn and tender
Now haven't anything to grow
Can't you see
Why did you have to leave me
Why did you deceive me
You send me to the path of nevermore
When you say you didn't love me anymore
Nevermore
Nevermore

Brian, Roger, Adam … someone? Please suggest this song to this trio of masterminds crafting the setlist. You promised us something new, and different. Why not make it a performance of a song that was inextricable left for the recording studio? 

And that special effect that was done with the piano strings? Perhaps Brian can come up with a way to do that with guitar strings.
