Hi, It was played this morning and is posted on YouTube. Thanks for the poster! link what do you think? Peter |
Stelios 19.09.2014 07:53 |
Thanks. I like it. Especially the 2:15 part " Dont leave me now for i just ... ". Great melody. |

It's great song , i loved , it's the only great new about Queen Forever, |

Can I ask native english speakers, to write the lyrics, not all the words are clear to recognize, for none natives :) |
wOvANz 19.09.2014 11:11 |
It's obvious that the song wasn't finished, cos Freddie's vocal is the way he used to sing on demos, he sings in a very free manner, so powerfull. And it's a great! From the first strings he blows away Anita's version. He was incredible. |
brENsKi 19.09.2014 12:02 |
apols for posting this in bOTH threads - but my view? it's not a bad one as queen ballads go...but i've a feeling of "here we go Made In Heaven" all over... why? listen to it...play it side by side against Anita's version. they've used the original backing tracks...very little has changed. - the rest appears as it were in the 80s...it's the version Brian gave to Anita minus her vocals with freddie's "guide vocal" being spliced in and one or two little cosmetic changes here and there. but basically, it sounds like original guitar in exactly the same spots with same effects etc...and it even sounds like Brian's piano playing...was that on Anita's version also?. |

I'm not a native speaker, so if someone can help will be great When people talk of love I leave the conversation I say I feel just fine, happy with my situation, but when I look away people know my mind is straining to where I once belong, dreaming about your heart again your heart again, your heart again Let me in your heart again Listen to me honey we like to face the blues, I give you satisfaction Despair was in your mind I give you in the right direction so don't you walk away remember is my heart you're breaking you forget we were a love, now my heart is only filled with the pain your heart again, your heart again Let me in your heart again oh my love I want you to stay don't leave me now or I just felt away oh my love don't hurt me this way ohh looking baby don't make me wait too long or i'll lose my mind When people talk of love I have no hesitation Tell me what you dream at all I'll hold a conversation for you babe but when I look away people know my mind is [???] to where I once belong,Just let me in your heart again, your heart again, let me in your heart again Open the doors for me babe. It's your heart again. |

and this is the lyrics of Anita Dobson's version When people talk of love, I'll join in conversation I'll say I feel just fine, happy with my situation But when I look away, people know my mind is spinning To where I once belonged, I'll dream I'm in your heart again Let me in Let me in your heart again When love has let you down, I'll be your consolation We'll talk and talk our lives, through every complication But when you went away, you took my heart and soul away with you But now I stand alone and dream I'm in your heart again Let me in Let me in Let me in your heart again So many nights we meet, in my imagination And everywhere I turn, you're still my inspiration Then yesterday you came, and turned my whole world upside down again You won't hear me complaining, I'm back inside your heart again You let me in You let me in You let me in your heart again Oooh, you let me in your heart again |

Sheldon 20.09.2014 04:33 |
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that this song and especially the vocals sound very demo-like? Of course, it is in fact a demo and Freddie never re-recorded it. Also the guitar parts both in the beginning and after 2:15 sound so much like Hammer to Fall! The line "Open the doors for me babe" sounds plain weird, a line that I'm pretty sure Freddie would have re-recorded or removed entirely if he was still alive to finish the song. |

At long last the Master voice of Queen is finally back. "Let me in your heart again" is a brill track and its such a shame other un-finished tracks were not found from past Queen albums. |

Ok, where to begin? I must admit I don't post much on here, but just occasionally feel the need to make a comment. I agree that everyone has their own opinion and the world would be a boring place if everyone liked the same things, but maybe a more peaceful one. But sometimes when I read some comments on Queenzone I do think WTF! Some people make things so personal and take things too far! Some people for some reason think they know better than 2 of the most respected musicians in the industry today. Think that they could do a better job than some of the best technicians. It does baffle me sometimes, and all I can bring myself to say sometimes is GET A LIFE!! What we get is what we get, don't like it, don't buy it. Like it, buy it. Simples. To end I will just add my evaluation of Forever. Let Me In Your Heart Again......Brilliant Love Kills.......Sounds Fantastic TMBMTLTT........Instrumentally great, Vocal mix Awful Hopefully some of the other tracks may have been tweeked, if not ah well never mind, still a decent compilation. Hopefully Roger and Brian might find time to ditch Orbits mix of TMBMTLTT and use their own, if they don't that's their decision, maybe not the correct decision for everyone but that's theirs to make. Like it buy it.......Don't then don't. Simple. Life's too short guys. |

NOT what YOU think i typed. I said "it's not bad" - that's a positive of sorts. i also commented on my observations of the track. ffs gerry listen to the track alongside Anita's version and tell me my comments aren't accurate...but don't pass global gainsaying/dismissal of my comments without making a specific point/analysis as to WHERE you think my comments are inaccurate. my own guess? your reply is the reply of someone unable to analize music on any kind of level above "i like that" or "i don't like that" I would certainly be interested to hear what (if anything) you are able to say about the similarities/identical status of elements of the backing track/guitars used in BOTH versions of the song. but i doubt you will. this post is completely pointless - as any replying to you. your are 100% guaranteed to argue or insult rather than actually talk properly about the music. btw - fyi - musical discussion isn't really just a case of "i like/don't like that" btwbtw - Gerry - do not misquote me. I have NOT told you to shut up. I have corrected you on some of your comments. and it's wrong of you to say that whenever you say anything i tell you to shut up. but why do i worry? everyone round here knows you're talking rubbish again - you usually are. |

No one else on here goes at me the way you always do, so that must mean your just been a complete twat as per. now please do NOT under any circumstances reply back because its you Brenski that is spoiling this thread for all of us.

despite the hints of vocal demo status, and recycled backing track, I really enjoyed this -- imho it's as close to 'real,' 'new' Queen we may get for a while. never heard this before. Having seen the QF tracklist, I'll be looking to buy just a cd single of Let Me In. And very likely the Rainbow release |

Despite all negativity regarding "Queen Forever" (yes, it's a compilation, only three new tracks etc.) I quite like the concept / the song selection. And the new tracks are good (the MJ duet) or just stunning (the other two new ones). By the way, I did a small write up in my blog: link |

i would have been glad if the michael jackson track "Theres more to life than this" was not included and we had more un-released freddie tracks. by the way what happened to "State of shock"? i thought that would have made it on to the album? |
brENsKi 20.09.2014 16:19 |
It ^^^ probably went the same place a "Victory" and a handful of other songs Play The Game (w/Andy Gibb), and Let Me Live (w/Rod Stewart) - those four songs probably form some kind of "rainy day insurance policy, come pension fund" |

Of course, I reckon the reason we can only have the shit William Orbit mix is because Wacko's estate insisted on him being the dominant voice. What I don't get is how they let out the last Wacko release with Justin Timberlake, since Wacko's vocals aren't the dominant ones (that I can tell)! They're just being knobs for no reason that anyone can fathom. |

EDWOOD 20.09.2014 19:33 |
Yep - Brian did mention '3 or 4' MJ tracks at one time - 1 more then we even knew about! We ended up with one that has been remixed by a 'world class' producer and all the good in it has been tweaked out of it for some bizarre reason. I would bet that either we'll be seeing further Freddie+MJ tracks on another future MJ compilation (the MJ estate needs to keep churning out the product to keep the dollars rolling in) or QP have either decided to wait and release further tracks in the future, as Brenski says, top up the band members pensions funds (again). Or they are still in legal wranglings over the other tracks and couldn't wait any longer to put at least something out there. I was kind of surprised as well that Brian and Roger didn't decide to do another song together a la 'No-One But You' - with both of them sharing vocals it wouldn't be too bad and if the quality was up to NOBY I would have been happy. Let's just hope there is some further surprises. I do think its strange that if there are 'alternate' takes of other songs why wouldn't they be more specific in the press release? |
gerry 21.09.2014 04:19 |
To be honest do we really care about the michael jackson tracks = no. After all this album is all about Freddie and should have lots of surprises on it but just one great track to which i am grateful for at least, "Let me in your heart" but are all the other classic Queen tracks just that or have they been re-worked? Roger Taylor claimed the album would contain the "Big Ballads" and "Huge" production that Queen were well known for, but from what i have heard so far i do think rog is telling fibs? I mean "There must be more to life" is a waste of space and freddies vocals sound like his "out the back" making a cup of tea! |

gerry 21.09.2014 08:55 |
vocal harmony: One of the tracks "There must be more to life than this" has been spoilt by that william orbit mix, so in my opinion it is not worthy a place on the new Queen album. Secondly the point of this Queen album is all about freddies wonderful voice as we all love it, and everyone is eager to hear freddie on completely new tracks the world has not heard, but by the looks of things there is only one track un-heard and that is "Let me in your heart again". Shame nothing more could be found to rescue this album. |

I was a bit underwhelmed by this when I first heard it, although it was truly great -- very emotional actually -- hearing Fred singing again. After a few listens it's really grown on me. It has the classic Queen sound and it also feels like a complete track and not a demo that's been tweaked a bit. |
tomchristie22 23.09.2014 08:01 |
This song's been lingering in my head since I heard it. Really terrific! Can't imagine how Man on the Prowl made the cut but Let Me In didn't. |

Tomchristie: i agree "Man on the prowl" is terrible and when you think "Let me in your heart again" got ignored Queen made a huge mistake, for it could have been a smash single for them as well. Also "Let me live" which was on Made in Heaven, also comes from "The Works" recording sessions back in 1983 recorded in Los Angeles. i bet theres loads more tracks but Brian been Brian is very strict letting new material out of the can. Freddie said back in 89 there was loads of un-finished tracks. |

well i remember reading somewhere that Brian & Roger were told from Jim Beach to be careful with un-released tracks as they had not to release everything, or they were forbidden to release certain tracks. There again im sure it was in Peter Hince's book? |
miraclesteinway 26.09.2014 04:57 |
I guess they don't want to release tracks that have a scrap of vocal on them, or where Freddie sings and then does his dadadee half way through a line because it's a guide vocal. Things like that would be pretty hard to cover up. Other tracks are perhaps songs that have grown into other songs that made the final cut, and other tracks they just think aren't good enough for release. That's all fine, an artist should always have complete control over what they allow the public to hear (not that any of you have said they shouldn't!) Let me in your heart again is superior to many tracks on the works, but perhaps doesn't fit with the album in that at the time Queen were sounding current (ish), and this song sounds perhaps too classic. I totally LOVE the vocal on it - he sounds like Aretha Franklin at the Opera. The phrasing is like nothing I've heard before from him. I wish he did that more often actually! By the way I don't think that it's the same backing as the Anita version. I think it was re-recorded for her. Anyway whether it is or it isn't, it's amazing to hear how far Freddie could take a song. When Anita sings it, it sounds like a thoroughly mediocre ballad. When Freddie sings it, it sounds like somebody ripping their heart out! |
YourValentine 27.09.2014 12:23 |
I think it is very understandable that Freddie rejected this song, it's a totally trivial pop tune imo. This song would be nice in an anthology where completeness is an issue but it's not so great as a teaser to make people buy another compilation of songs they already own ten times. |
dastard 06.10.2014 07:42 |
At first these 3 "new" tracks didn't do anything, altough it was nice to hear Freddie sing a track i never heard before. This song and Love Kills, growed the last couple of weeks, i like them a lot now. The duet with Michael Jackson sounds crap, Michael's voice is too loud, out of sync. And why didn't they use Freddie's vocals from Mr. Bad Guy. The solo on Let Me In Your Heart Again, sounds a lot like the solo on Hammer To Fall, soundwise. |

That's more than we can say for quite a lot of their output from 1984. The lyrics are in an unfinished form on this recording too, remember. It's also just a really killer vocal by Freddie which we've never heard before; same goes for the full band. |
Wiley 08.10.2014 09:42 |
I like it. It could have easily been on The Works as it's just as good/bad as Open Windows, Treat it up or Man on the Prowl. I can see some resemblance with the main chord structure of Hammer to Fall but I would besurprised if that even played a part on it being shelved. On the resemblance I'm referring to the whole A - D/A Brian-esque cliche also used on Tear it up, AKOM, WWRY, it's late, etc. Although Let me in its not on the same key you can feel the same vibe and it kinda resembles a slightly slower version of HTF during the outtro. |
brENsKi 08.10.2014 13:40 |
yes it could easily have been on the Works - but like much of the rest of that album, it would've been filler and not much more and funny that you picked "Keep Passing The Open Windows" - a blatant "lift" from Joe Jackson's "Stepping Out"...because as i referred in a previous thread to the similarities between the new Love Kills and Zep's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", the more and more i hear LMIYHA it's bugging me...there's something in it that reminds me of Bowie's "Rock n Rock With Me"...can't put my finger on it tho....maybe it's just the syllables and the phrasing, don't know |
Oscar J 08.10.2014 15:17 |
It's not a great song. But Freddie's vocals are so damn good, I don't even care. |
brENsKi 09.10.2014 13:41 |
i take your point, but i'd like someone to help with identifying the similarity between LMIYHA and Bowie's "Rock n Roll With Me"...it's really bugging me |
Oscar J 09.10.2014 14:11 |
Not hearing any strong similarities other than it being of roughly the same tempo and with lots of backing vocals in the choruses. |
brENsKi 09.10.2014 16:44 |
i think it's maybe just the syllables and the inflection, dunno and i know this is wrong, but everytime i hear Ebola on the news, i think of The Kinks |
Oscar J 09.10.2014 16:53 |
I guess we all get our own associations from songs that we hear. I havent really dug into the Bowie catalogue if I'm honest, maybe that's why I'm not hearing what you're hearing. :-) |

I can't help but hearing "when left to face the blues, i give you satisfaction" as opposed to " we laugh to face the blues". anyone else agree? |

I don't hear it there. The "oh my love, I want you to stay" line sound a little synthetic to me though, but it's hard to tell for sure. If they've used pitch correction in this song, they've done it very carefully. Not like TMBMTLTT, which has MJ sounding like a robot in places. |

Wiley (nor anybody else on this thread) didn't suggest that Brian was the originator of the A D/A A lick; rather that for him it became a cliche of sorts. Which is entirely true. I'm sure guitarists had been using it for decades before Brian popularised it though, although I wouldn't have a clue where you might first find it on record. |

I've studied the evolution of the guitar intently, and the earliest instance of that particular combination of shapes I've found is on All Right Now. It soon became a go-to for Keef. Like most things, one of those guys probably saw a guy in a pub do it and said, "note to self - cool thing there." |

Hi guys, it's my first time on here but I really need your help. Can anyone explain to me the meaning of "Tell me what you DREAM AT ALL. I'll hold that conversation for you babe"??

miraclesteinway 04.12.2014 16:50 |
I have a question about Let Me In Your Heart Again. No disrespect meant but: The top C in it, well, it sounds very very clean compared to any other time Freddie sang a top C (I'm thinking about when he sang 'just a singer with a song', the sing of singer was a top C). I'm wondering if it has been electronically manipulated or if he was having a particularly good day? I'm sorry if this offends, but perhaps someone here knows? The reason I'm asking is because I know that auto tune can be used these days, and can be so sophisticated that the end listener would never know it was used, and since Freddie wasn't here to correct any notes himself (if, at the age of 68 he would have managed it, perhaps he would though!), well, you know I'm asking how much auto tune was used on it, that's all. If it's in this thread previously I'm sorry, I haven't sat and read through the whole thing. |
Gregsynth 04.12.2014 17:11 |
The differences between both C5s is down to vocal modes. On Let Me In Your Heart Again, he's singing it with more of a curbing technique and on In My Defense - he's using something called distortion. |
miraclesteinway 05.12.2014 08:22 |
Hi Greg, I'm a pianist not a singer, but am I right in thinking that 'curbing' is what is commonly known as 'mix' between falsetto and chest voice, and overdrive/distortion is the full chest voice at the top of the range? |
Sunshine 08.12.2014 13:04 |
We know the song has been recorded for The Works, but what we hear on the record has been worked on in 2014. What parts are original? Has John rerecorded his parts? How much is left untouched? I gotta say that this track is the absolute highlight of all Queen releases in the last 20 years, I cant understand how they overlooked this for Made In Heaven? It is just so beautiful, Freddie sings so so so beautiful. The overall musician ship is excellent as well and makes me so proud to be a Queen fan. I love this band so much. The song is truly well played, listen to this: link. Despite a cover, you hear how well-written this song is. The A-D cliche is in fact G-C and transponds later in the song to A-D. But the rest of the chord progression is very original. Freddie lifts this song, what a difference with Anita Dobson. You believe the man when he wants to be in her/his heart again. I am just curious how much of the release is from 1983 and what from 2014? |

tomchristie22 08.12.2014 22:01 |
Sunshine wrote: I am just curious how much of the release is from 1983 and what from 2014?I feel like the backing vocals might be 2014 - the 'Your heart again' phrases in the verses just sound like Brian today. Freddie also doesn't sing backing vocals at any point, lending further to the likelihood that Brian and Roger did them in 2014. The multi-layered guitars might be 2014 - it depends the original track was just a single take demo, or if it's possible that Brian did some overdubbing in 1983. I don't know about the guitar solo - many people have speculated that because it's kind of similar to that in Hammer to Fall, it's possible that he used the idea in Hammer to Fall once they'd decided against using Let Me In. However, I think it's possible that the solo was recorded in 2014; again, if we assume that the original track was just a demo with no overdubs, then Brian would have only played rhythm guitar. However, he may have then recorded the solo in 1983, and maybe even did the multi-layered parts of it then too. There's really little way of knowing for sure. |
Martin Packer 09.12.2014 01:44 |
We have Brian's (supposedly-)unreliable memory to work with. Or Roger's (supposedly-)reliable one. :-) |
tomchristie22 09.12.2014 02:08 |
Well it's not like they'd need to be able to remember what they did in 1983, they'd just need to know what they added a couple of months ago. |
Martin Packer 09.12.2014 08:34 |
Nice one @tomchristie22 :-) |
*goodco* 09.12.2014 11:12 |
I gave Anita's version another listen to last night. There seems to be more of a 'warmth' and 'fullness' in Brian's guitar sound than on the new release. Can only speculate that he was forced to simulate the tone as close as possible to the original due to 'leakage' and the inability to erase the original guitar. Unlike the MIH tracks, maybe it was done to sound a bit more like the era of when it was created. Just speculation. All of Brian's guitar sound in that span sounds, or was mixed, rather 'cold' to my ears. |
miraclesteinway 10.12.2014 09:06 |
actually Freddie does sing some of the backing vocals about a minute in, but that's all. |

I wish that Freddie sang more in that free style. He did it more in the '70s, especially on Somebody To Love, for instance. |

But just a point about the conversation above -- Brown Sugar was written in 1969 and performed at Altamont that year. However, it wasn't released until 1971. Richards was shown the open G tuning by Ry Cooder. All Right Now was released in 1970 but I don't know when it was written. So if it's a choice between the two, then 'Keef' wins, but it wasn't totally his idea, it was also Cooder's. |
gooddrills 27.03.2020 10:10 |
Good question Holly. Maybe they didn’t feel it fitted with the rest of the material? Personally I think it could have worked on MIH and would have chosen it over a re-working of My Life Has Been Saved (I prefer the original version). But it does raise the question what else is there lurking in the archives? Hopefully a few more gems that have been overlooked. |
Nathan H 27.03.2020 13:05 |
I don't think they had the technology to complete LMIYHA for Made In Heaven because Brian has often said how useful protools were in completing it. link |
mediokamusic 27.03.2020 14:40 |
What Young Music Fan said plus the fact that they probably forgot this song existed. They might've been looking through the archives for Made In Heaven but finding the right tapes isn't as organised as you'd think. Things can get mislabelled or misplaced, get stolen or just get thrown out. |
dudley-fufkin 7834 28.03.2020 17:34 |
The song was forgotten about and only turned up over the last few years, hence getting a small remake and put on Queen forever. |
Holly2003 28.03.2020 18:01 |
So in 1993, when Brian began work on Made in Heaven, he had already forgotten about the song he wrote and recorded with Queen for The Works (1984), and then re-recorded with his missus in 1988? |

emrabt 28.03.2020 21:23 |
I would guess it wasn't chosen as they already had a track from Brian's solo work, A track from Rogers Solo work and two from Freddies album. Maybe Roger and Brian wanted equal amounts of writers royalties and this one credited to Brain would tip it in his favour a little too much. Or maybe it was just one too many ballads? It would fit in a nice continuity as it references let me live nicely. |

There is an early "The Works" promo tape (and also an slightly different master) that features a 13 songs tracklist which includes LMIYHA and Man Made Paradise (which also might have made it to "Hot Space"), as well as Man On Fire and Let Me Live, or even I Go Crazy depending on which item we're talking about.

When you listen to the final piano-line of 'Let Me Live' and imagine it doesn't fade out, it fits perfectly into the intro of 'It's A Hard Life'. So I tried this, edited them together, and indeed these two tracks fit perfectly to eachother. LML ends in the same chords as the start of IAHL, same instrumentation based on mostly piano and both have a somewhat 'classical feel'.
