MIH final song
| fat-bottomed girl 11.06.2004 14:10 |
I just bought Made In Heaven and I think it's superb!!! But what is the last song supposed to be? It's not listed in the sleeve notes and it's over 22 minutes long! Does anyone know if it has any significance? |
| BornToBeKings 11.06.2004 14:24 |
I believe that it's supposed to be a sonic tribute to Freddie. If you turn it up loud at certain parts you can faintly hear him laughing... |
| Mayboy 11.06.2004 14:25 |
I like to think about it as a little piece of music to reflect, think about Queen and in particular Freddie its quite nice IMO :) |
| fat-bottomed girl 11.06.2004 14:33 |
Hmmm... i suppose its a kind of tribute- Its very haunting if you listen to it the whole way through- if you have enough time. The whole album is really good though- I love I was Born To Love You!! |
| Pim Derks 11.06.2004 14:55 |
If you record it on your pc, then play it backwards and speed it up to around 509% you'll notice it sounds like a very early demo of Mother Love. |

I read somewhere that Brian described it as Freddie going to heaven...but that could well be bollocks, you know how reliable my sources are. |
| John S Stuart 11.06.2004 18:37 |
Pim: Never come across that theory before - but it sounds interesting. I confess to technical incompetence - any chance of providing a link for the IT Challenged - or are you having a wind-up? |
| rmtfictionqueen 11.06.2004 20:07 |
I just ordered that album along with Innuendo so I'm gonna have to check that out. |

I always found it quite tedious. Don't listen to it when you're trying to fall asleep, there's a strange percussion thing somewhere around 8-10 minutes that almost caused me to make a mess. |
| Josuè 12.06.2004 05:20 |
lol, I love that track. When I first listened to it I immediately thought it was a sort of Requiem to Freddie. And yes, I put it while I was falling asleep and I got scared!! |
| Freddie May 12.06.2004 05:57 |
If you want an EXCELLENT mix of this track, you should listen to this : link |
| Josuè 12.06.2004 06:09 |
Hey, it is quite nice but, too dance to me... It could've been more soft. But anyway, great mix, congratulations!!!!! btw, the One Vision - Alternate Lyrics link doesn't work. I'd like to hear that song! |
| Josuè 12.06.2004 06:13 |
and the 'Long Vision' remix is cut |
| Josuè 12.06.2004 06:30 |
OMG!! Your 12'' Radio GaGa version is superb!!! |

some echo things that disturbs the chill mood |

Rainmustfall, put on headphones, turn up the volume, close your eyes and relax...I'm sure you'll find out what they mean ;-)) When I first heard this last bit of MIH (headphones and all), I thought hmm..what a strange long end and I found it rather awful, it was like one of those new age chill out cd's....but then I got hypnotized by it. I saw all these images of landscapes, clouds, etc. like a video clip all in my mind's eye. (which is normal for me I always visualize music so to say). At one point I felt like I was flying, or running over hills in the rain. And then suddenly there was a voice saying "are you running?" So that was very amazing and weird and it made me jump up. In the end I listened to it several times and came to appreciate it, although I didn't like it much at all at first. But it indeed is very emotional, with a little imagination you can hear what Brian meant by 'Freddie going up to heaven'. I think it's a nice way of describing this 'secret track'.. :) |
| Daburcor? 12.06.2004 08:16 |
On a semi related note, Does any one have any idea why they seperated the 12th track from the 11th? |
| andYYY 12.06.2004 09:46 |
"Bravo" Sally!! |
| Josuè 12.06.2004 10:25 |
yeah, that sucks |
| queenrocks! 10902 12.06.2004 12:37 |
I love the ending of the song with the drums It's telling people that Queen has reached it's climax for good. |
| Penis - Vagina 12.06.2004 14:57 |
it's funny that there's a topic 'Freddie's Journey' right next to this one. That's what I title 'track 13' whenever I make a copy.. "The Journey'. BTW, I don't separate 'yeah' from the rest... too much trouble and silly. I dunno why they did that.. perhaps just testing the minimum allowed track length. |
| rmtfictionqueen 14.06.2004 22:00 |
I just got the album today and I listened to it. I thought it was pretty cool. It sounded a bit like those nature tapes to me and then every once in a while some talking like the "Are you running?" part. But I ended up falling asleep during it and actually only "heard" bits. I never heard the percussion thing in the middle. Maybe I should try and listen to it when I'm fully awake instead of right after I get home from work. |
| dragonzflame 14.06.2004 23:31 |
The "are you running" was apparently a bit of a mistake, Freddie was asking if the tape was running - apparently it was. Nice way to use it I thought. |
| iGSM 15.06.2004 01:19 |
I wonder where the 'Fab' part came from? Dun, dun dun! |
| Bohardy 15.06.2004 08:11 |
"BTW, I don't separate 'yeah' from the rest... too much trouble and silly. I dunno why they did that.. perhaps just testing the minimum allowed track length". - Wasn't the idea to have the shortest and longest ever Queen tracks immediately next to each other? It seems Queen (minus Fred of course) were trying out such quirks and firsts on the album, as there is also the rumour that Mother Love contains an extremely compressed/short clip of every UK single Queen released. |
| Josuè 15.06.2004 08:35 |
What do you mean by short clip?? I name the 'track 13' as 'Passing Over The Walls To Heaven' |
| Bohardy 15.06.2004 12:01 |
Well, obviously in Mother Love there are identifiable bits of other Queen songs - One Vision, and Goin' Back for example - but in that part of the song where those obvious clips appear you hear bits of a white noise/detuned radio kind of sound, and I've heard that in there somewhere are micro-clips of each and every UK single. Obviously that means a short bit of 40-odd singles has to be compressed into say 3 seconds of music, but it's entirely possible to do that. |

Someone synced up the bonus track from Made In Heaven with the end of the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" and put it on the hub ;) |
| Freddie-B 16.06.2004 05:14 |
I remember reading somewhere that every minute represented a year in the life of Queen, but you need to read pretty carefully into it (and take plenty of artistic licence too) for it to make sense, although you can make something out of it, if I remember rightly. I like the song, listening to it as I go to sleep is good, but I know what you mean about that percussion bit, I still shit myself to this day....which takes some explaning. |
| Whatinthewhatthe? 18.06.2004 18:33 |
I always thought it was called "bonus track"... *snicker* |
