Spread Your Wings is actually a great song, in my opinion.
it is great... always loved it.
I can't listen to this song without imagining them in an old time smokey jazz club. Freddie on an upright piano, John with a standing bass, Roger on a scaled down kit & Brian on a stool leaning against a wall with his red special. 😀
One of the things I like most about Queen is that they were never afraid to take risks and try any genre. They never wanted to be boringly consistent. The next album is a prime example of this approach. Looking forward to it!
Isn't it beautiful, my favorite on the album. Freddie never lets you down. Critics were always insinuating Queen was breaking up, Queen members argued, but like siblings. Many of the critics were horrible towards them. Great reaction
This is such a pretty song, a soft and soothing way to end the record. Thank you for reacting to this wonderful album. My mind wanders to the lounge of a nice restaurant. I take a seat at the piano bar, slowly sipping my last drink of the evening. There is cigarette smoke circling in the subdued light and the air smells a bit of stale beer from former spills on the carpet. There is a glowing red candle on each table, couples feeling the romance of the evening, two people slow dancing in the corner. The tip jar on the piano is half full, and the piano player is hoping it will be filled by the end of the evening. Freddie did such a great job at painting a vivid picture with this song.
Jason... Freddie takes us from "Stone cold crazy " to " my melancholy blues" and we say "oh,its Fred,he does this".Great stuff
What can I say, I love this album, one of their most eclectic and raw in some songs. When I was 8 years (I'm 51 now), when I was alone at home, I played the record at full volume, and I screamed and jumped on the couches with Sheer Heart Attack, it was the heaviest thing I had ever heard in my life, and my mom hated that song... So many good memories with Queen, and I still listen to them today and they continue to amaze me... I hope you want to continue with the journey, the change that is coming is tremendous, but it is one of the most exciting discographies I have ever heard, along with David Bowie's... Greetings from Argentina!
Another absolute masterpiece from Queen. Amazing jazz vibe. No other artist cpuld cover so much ground so magnificently
One of my absolute favorites... showcasing Freddie's beautiful voice, piano skills, John's smooth bass and feathery drums from Roger.... cocktail lounge vibes...Thanks for the great reaction.
Feathery drums … great comment
My Melancholy Blues - by Freddie Mercury
John Deacon: Bass
Brian May: 👀
Freddie Mercury: Piano and lead vocals
Roger Taylor: Drums
I don’t feel Freddie was imitating anything I think he was just being fabulous hyper talented Freddie Mercury … who was an amazing song writer . He knew when a song was good enough to be spare Great reaction ✌🏼
great comment... they're not imitating anything... they're making art and it's coming from the soul and 100% genuine. I hear it as a more a little Marlene Dietrich/Edith Piaf type of vibe rather than an Autumn Leaves/My Favourite Things jazz thing...
Thanks, Justin.. one of my favorites.. Freddie really knows how to sing those jazzy blues... (and credit for the piano, too).. . I love the vocal range on this... and also the pacing... appreciate your reaction...
Nice one Justin.
Wonderful as an old Queen fan watching you go thru their stuff. When it's hard to pick an album fav, you know you've got sucked in.
Whatever style or genre they took on, or intimidated, it always had the 'Queen' stamp, nobody was ever left in doubt of it been a Queen song.
Looking forward to 'Jazz'.
Thank you.
It's a slow, bluesy song with jazz influences. Sang from the heart, (unsurprisingly), and eerily comforting in some ways. The kind of thing you'd want playing in the background if you were in a bar drowning your sorrows. As a Queen song, it's well, Queen. They try their hand at everything and interpret it in whatever way they see fit. Whether it hits the mark is purely subjective, but there's generally some nuance that resonates somewhere within to the point of acceptability, or not, as the case may be.
I look forward to the reactions to the Jazz album. The first track in particular will be interesting to say the least.
It is a relaxing tune that I absolutely love. Freddie's voice is absolutely amazing. The quality and diversity is unmatched for me. Thanks for your honest reactions! One of the best albums in my book.
Bands in the 70's didn't sit there and say ok guys lets write a hit.. the world is different now. back then people liked being creative. they didn't care as much.. the songs that you called week, guess what i like them.. there is something for every one on every queen album..
My Melancholy Blues is more like an older style of jazz, from the 30's or 40's, but it is an amazing song and it is an amazingly difficult song to sing.
Queen is great 👍
Album should of been called "The Selection Box" as its just that a pick and mix of different genres and styles .
So Justin will move on to JAZZ, This is Queen on speed then they take a picnic in the swiss alps then Roger goes to a disco while Brian gets transported to a ball in the 40's, for me Queen's most chaotic album but one of their highlights, the deep cuts are some of their best Dead on Time and Let Me Entertain You, do not tire of these tracks, good luck
Love this song for the first time in 1984 until now.
Beautiful
Easy on the ears love it!
Torchy, piano bar song.
Beautiful 💕
Next Jazz please….thank you….
I'm a big big jazz fan (600 LPs) and I always go back to this as being one of the reasons. I get the non-swinging comment to a degree but I think Freddie's piano is great especially. I think there is too much in the jazz community about what is and isn't jazz these days and I don't care for those discussions. It's just music at the end of the day. So much variety on this album.... a transition away from the big productions of Races and Opera to something more direct. I'd still say this might be my #4 or #5 fav Queen album though...
JAZZ, JAZZ, JAZZ, JAZZ, JAZZ, JAZZ, JAZZ, JAZZ, JAZZ, JAZZ, JAZZ, JAZZ, JAZZ, JAZZ,
Wait until you hear Mustapha, I remember the first time I heard it, thinking what the hell is this, but soon grew to love it. If you can’t beat them & Let me entertain you are both bangers
So so good.
Great recap.
I love Freddie's version of jazz😀 "That guy" is pretty doggone amazing. The things he could do with his voice. Wow.
Ok. Controversial to some, this is actually my favourite on the record. It’s so groovy, and it’s a really different entity to the rest of their catalogue. I’ve never heard any other songs like it. Also, I love it when Queen go soft. And Freddie’s voice just works so well in this genre.
The more I listen to this song the more I love it!
I really like NOTW - it’s my fourth favorite album - ANATO, SHA, and Queen II are ahead… But I’m interested to see your take on Jazz - perhaps a misleading title, where it still has those classic harmonies but it’s drifting even more to “conventionality”.
It is indeed impossible to pick an entire album as a favorite.
It's easy to say "Write better songs" but please remember that Queen released an album every single year from 1973 to 1978 and even 2 albums in 1974 with Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack. And they did all that while being on tour almost constantly. I mean, try pulling that off. With that in mind, Spread your Wings is quite amazing, isn't it? You must have these "weaker" songs in order to let the others shine. But I always said that 90% of the other bands would have killed for one song like a Queen song - even in the 80s phase of the band which to me is not really good compared to the 70s era. But you'll get to that. Thanks for the great content. REALLY curious about Jazz - especially the opener.
Thank you for pointing out the crappy production on Shear Heart Attack and proving that I haven't been crazy thinking the same thing for years.
The abandoned bar 👉 there HE sits on that barstool,🪑the most uncomfortable barstool, sipping that special brew 🥃. Altho HE appears happy his relationships are unfulfilling! The bar is smoke-filled 🚬💨 😮💨 Piano keys stained with the blues. 🎹 “Don’t try & stop me .. ‘Cause I’m heading for that stormy weather soon”. 🫤
Punk was the focus of much of the British press at the time but never caught on among my peers in high school at the time. Also; Queen could be prog mostly in the sense of mixing different stylistic elements and experimenting with production BUT most of the actual songs aren't prog.
So far I rate these albums the same as you. I’m guessing Jazz won’t top all those like it does for me, but who knows. All of these albums are just so good. They definitely are up there for having one of the best album runs of any band.
I've never thought of this one as being jazz, but definitely blues. I like this one for what it is, and I think it's the kind of music that shows of Freddie's voice to its best effect, but I wouldn't want a whole album of songs like this.
There is actually version where Brian plays guitar on this track . Queen on Air is an album which includes all Queen's radio sessions.
I think it’s best to look at Queen in terms of their entire back catalogue, which I read about some rumours of Queen selling it for $1.1 billion. Nothing seems to have come of it, but it’s interesting that no one seems to have said it was too much money!
Freddie singing this makes me happy; Deaky's bass relaxes me - Love it when the track gets it's turn as I play the CD. Queen a wonderful source of good music for me - only an appreciator of music . . . not a musician.
If you want to listen the best version of Spead your wings , it must to listen the BBC live session 1977 . it's different , but better , especially in the instrumental part at the end .
Yes it has a boogie woogie piano ending.
Liberace, Judy Garland, Liza Minelli.
Nice. Effective. Not my thing but he pulls it off.
isnt jazz dude, is Queen.. they did a bit of everything
Would you Please consider reacting to the album....
Queen greatest hits 3. Ty
Your reaction to the first track on Jazz will be interesting.
(If you don’t already know it.)
😂 Watching you go through the albums so far to compare them was funny. It's the conundrum every Queen fan faces. Just when you think you've got it sorted, you remember a couple of tracks that throw your rankings out. With so many surprises on each album, ranking them seems almost redundant. Brian really stands out on this album. The quality and diversity in his writing challenges Freddie's reputation. This is probably the last really bombastic album. From here on, things tone down a bit. Fewer epics, more hooks.
You mean After the JAZZ Album they toned it down, many forget about that Jem...!. It has dropped from collective memory.
@@alldayadventures5418 I like Jazz, heaps of cool tracks. But the whole album has a lighter tone to me. No real epic songs. Dreamers Ball is the closest they get to the epics on previous albums (IMO).
Good to mention Ella Fitzgerald. I would put in Sarah Vaughan.
They covered the song “The Great Pretender”… it’s on a greatest hits album and I think you’d love it. Freddy was magical no matter what he sang. 💙
?
No its not
Freddie covered this as a solo single before he did his solo album in 87
Yes Roger did backing but it wasn't a Queen track
@@bluebell3720 yeah … Greatest Hits I, II, and III.

A lot of Queen songs are better live. Sheer Heart Attack being one of them. It was an encore and they made it so fast it was absolutely killer to play. Check out Hammersmith 1979 where Freddie pushes over a speaker and throws his and Brian's mics to give it the full punk vibe. He then can't find a mic to sing the last bit! The band ended up ignoring critics because the public still loved them and that's what mattered. Melancholy Blues is Freddie's voice and piano skills at their best. Gorgeous melody. Looking forward to your reaction to Jazz.
Please, please do the Jazz album
A truly lovely song, perfect album closer. Jazz has a lot of great songs, but also some that don't hit quite as well. After that you have The Game which is a weird one. There's some absolute classics, but a couple of really bad ones. Then, if you skip the Flash Gordon soundtrack, you get Hot Space. From that point onwards a very different band.
Yo !bro it’s jazz/ blues stuff like this is out there especially in the 30& 40s just curious do you think Jeff beck was jazz?
I don't know a ton of jeff beck but no I wouldn't say jeff beck is specifically jazz at all. Yes this is hinting at, insinuating, copying a jazz style. You can tell by the playing that it's not 'authentic' though. Not saying it's bad... just saying there's a difference.
I forgot how nice this track is. There is no way that this is better than Queen II, SHA and ANATO. I think its at least two levels below them. Just my opinion, its a good album though.
Yeah they are a rock band who dabbled in prog. It’s probably bc they came around during the height of prog. And people call bohemian rhapsody prog bc it’s got multiple sections. Lazy. You’re right, they are a theatrical rock band.
Give Spread your wings another try. Maybe it’s a grower. Maybe it would have hit better 15 years ago.
I think you’re going to be taken aback by Jazz and not necessarily in a good way. I think. What do I know?
I absolutely can't stand Freddie's vibrato but it's still a very nice song.
Read enough of those interviews and you learn: Robert Christgau was an idiot. Robert Hillburn was an idiot. Lester Bangs was an idiot. I like this album, but don't love it. It feels to me like a bunch of songs they sort of made up on the spot. As if they had exhausted everything they had from their early days up to the burst of creativity that was spread across A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races. But it feels like the well was sort of dry when they started work on this one. In some ways that worked to their advantage because the ideas weren't based on something they thought was cool back in 1969, but could be more fresh and innovative. The minimalist rock style on a bunch of the songs doesn't have much staying power for me personally, but it definitely positioned Queen at the front of the pack in terms of rock trends in 1977.
Congratulations, you are just as wrong headed and turned about in your opinions as every other Queen fan. You dislike what I love and, at the same time, like what I like. Now you understand why Wikipedia is such a mess.
My two cents (or just one cent) on the song: It sounds like Freddie here envisioned himself as Ella Fitzgerald or Bessie Smith and proved to be neither. I have nothing good to say about this lazy rehash of a song.
Sarah Vaughan.
