Don’t Try So Hard ���
Mercury penned, ‘Don’t Try So Hard’ features a strong falsetto
performance from the exuberant front man. ‘When your problems
seem like mountains, You feel the need to find some answers, You
can leave them for another day, Don’t try so hard.’
Ride the Wild Wind ��
‘Ride the wild wind, Gonna ride the whirlwind – It ain’t
dangerous – enough for me, Tie your hair back baby – We’re
gonna ride tonight.’ A Roger Taylor composition, ‘Ride the Wild
Wind’ features so-so duelling vocals between Taylor and Mercury.
All God’s People ��
A gospel-inspired number, ‘All God’s People’ is another one of
those tracks that tends to be a little too religious for good nature’s
taste. Passable.
These Are the Days of Our Lives ����
A reflective Roger Taylor track, ‘These Are the Days of Our
Lives’ is one of the most simple songs in the band’s history. With
sentimental, almost heart-breaking lyrics and vocal delivery, this is
a love song of sorts that stands the test of time well.
Delilah ��
A rather tired sounding vocal on this one, dedicated by Mercury to
his favourite cat – ‘Delilah’.
The Hitman ��
Another Mercury piece, ‘The Hitman’ features backing vocals
from May, and is almost heavy metal in nature. Lyrically, this
track leaves a lot to be desired.
