The title track to the final album Queen toured to support. (Freddie got his diagnosis after this.) Freddie stepped back a bit on the songwriting this time around. He only has one solo writing credit on the album, the exquisite "Princes of the Universe". But Roger Taylor had been getting more of his songs made into singles (such as "Radio Gaga" on the last album) and he steps in well again here. (Brian May's big contribution was "Who Wants to Live Forever", which I'm surprised you don't seem to have hit yet. Also of note, "One Vision".)

Queen’s ‘A Kind Of Magic’: Queen drummer Roger Taylor once paid tribute to Freddie Mercury’s “terrifically fertile brain” - and the singer-songwriter’s powers of imagination were sparklingly evident in the way in which he helped turn “A Kind of Magic” from what Taylor called “a filmic” tune for the 1986 fantasy movie Highlander into a “dance-orientated” hit single. A Kind of Magic was Queen’s first album after their triumphant performance in 1985’s Live Aid concert, and it had a strong presence in Highlander, with six tracks from the record appearing in the film directed by Australian Russell Mulcahy.

There are only two films that Queen did the scores for...'Flash Gordon' (1980) and 'Highlander' (1986)...this song was from 'Highlander', in fact, the album called 'It's A Kind Of Magic' contains all of the songs written for the film. Two lyrics are quotes from the movie. "There can be only one." and "It's a kind of magic" (the second of which is in a deleted scene that was restored for the director's cut of the film). The one song that was recorded for the movie that I wish that they would have released was a cover of the standard "New York, New York" by John Kander and Fred Ebb, most famously done by Frank Sinatra. You only hear a snippet of the song in the movie's third act...but it is amazing!!! 'Highlander' stars Sean Connery, Christopher Lambert, Clancy Brown, and Roxanne Hart. It's about immortal warriors who have battled across centuries fighting for a mystical prize in 1980s New York City...and it's down to the last few still alive.

This came out when they did the sound track for the Highlander. so versatile and so talented. They were popular when my kids were teens and we parents didn't really appreciate them. However when I went back to college after age 65 I took a Rock and Roll appreciation class and did my thesis on them. I am a believer now. One of their biggest fans. Freddie would be my age now 77. Love all the band members and miss Deakie.

You’re gonna love the opening guitars on Hammer to Fall. Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon is also fun to listen to (it’s short and sweet) but I love One Vision. You need to listen to ALL of their music, it’s sublime! Freddie is my hero and as Epic Rap Battles said “I took one for both teams from a disease no one knew existed. I didn’t leave a mark on history, I French kissed it” mic drop!!! Much love from the UK

I’m still waiting for you to react to ‘Who wants to live forever’. Whether it’s the official video or live at Wembley. You’ll be blown away. You’ve reacted to so much of Queen but you’re not even close to their full catalogue of music. They are truly one of a kind. The 70’s stuff in particular that isn’t played on the radio is outstanding

Another track from the same album to listen to is Who Wants to Live Forever. The tracks from the album A Kind of Magic were used in the film Highlander.

Her name was Monserrat Caballé. She was a highly regarded Spanish Opera Soprano and she was Freddie's favorite singer in the world. They became very close and he used to call her Montsy. A Kind of Magic” was written by the band’s drummer, Roger Taylor, for the film Highlander. The phrase “a kind of magic” is used in Highlander by Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) as a description of his immortality. Roger Taylor liked the phrase so much that he used it as inspiration for the song. There are references to the film in the lyrics: “one prize, one goal”; “no mortal man”; and “there can be only one”. The single’s cover art features an image of Clancy Brown in character as the film’s villain, The Kurgan. Roger Taylor wrote the melody and chords for the version that appeared in the film, which Brian May described as “quite lugubrious and heavy”. But, while Roger was on holiday, Freddie, who had a different idea about the song, composed a new bass line, added instrumental breaks, and changed the song’s order to make it more chart-friendly. Freddie and David Richards produced this new mix. Roger was reportedly very annoyed that Freddie had almost completely rewritten the song behind his back (reportedly whilst he was on holiday, so perhaps that explains why the song was still credited only to Taylor. Roger's version is at the end of the film but it is Freddie's version is on the album and in the video. Notable in this music video is that Brian May did not use his famous Red Special guitar in the music video, but instead a 1984 copy. The music video was Filmed in the disused Playhouse Theatre in London’s Northumberland Avenue at Charing Cross, the video was Queen’s first to include animation since Save Me, with computer graphics bringing the characters from the cover of the new album to dazzling life as, among other things, the band’s backing singers. The theatre was once used by the BBC to record programming for radio, and this was the inspiration for the video itself - Freddie is the magician who returns to the abandoned theatre where he was once a star and turns three down-and-out squatters (Brian, Roger, and John) into his band. The shoot itself was somewhat less magical - the theatre lacked central heating and was very cold, much to the discomfort of the band and the crew. I personally prefer the live version of "It's A Kind Of Magic". I love Queen's live version from Wembley in 1987 - kzitem.info/news/bejne/xGiV3ouKjKt0qIo

Queen is absolutely amazing. During the early 70's, prog rock was making a huge impact on music. If, as a musicians, you can stand out above the musicianship required to play prog rock, you have to be incredible and Queen really was. J mentioned getting back to Meatloaf and I noticed you haven't done "I Would Do Anything For Love" which might well be the best song he ever did - it's certainly my favorite. Check it out - it will become one of your favs too I bet! Thank you guys - as always, it is great to see your smiling faces everyday!

Definitely need to check out the rest of the "A Kind of Magic" album. It's pretty much the unofficial soundtrack to Highlander the movie. 'Princes of the Universe', 'Gimme the Prize', 'One Year of Love', and the heartbreaking 'Who Wants to Live Forever'. But you have to do the movie to really understand the songs because they are truly singing about the story. Including the song they just did - when Duncan MacLeod saves Rachel in World War II, he tells her "It's a kind of magic."
