Queen - One Year Of Love (Alternative Version)

Описание: This version of One Year Of Love comes from an unknown generation working tape from the 'A Kind Of Magic' sessions from Peter Freestone's collection originating from Town House Studios.

This unreleased version of One Year Of Love comes from an audio tape sourced from Freddie's personal assistant, Peter Freestone. As for the track itself, dated January 25, 1986 from The Town House studios, does differ from the final album version in a few ways. The saxophone solo seems to be a different take and there is some lead guitar replacing the saxophone at 1:43. Freddie's vocals sound like they are the same used on the final version (or they are very close to it). The backing track is similar to the album version.

Written by: John Deacon
Produced by: Queen and Mack
Musicians:
Freddie Mercury - lead and backing vocals
John Deacon - bass guitar, synthesizer, sampler, drum programming
Roger Taylor - drums (?), tambourine (?)
Steve Gregory - saxophone
Lynton Naiff - string arrangement

Lyrics:

Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It's always a rainy day without you
I'm a prisoner of love inside you
I'm falling apart all around you, yeah

It's always a rainy day without you
I'm a prisoner of love inside you
I'm falling apart all around you, yeah

My heart cries out to your heart
I'm lonely but you can save me
My hand reaches out for your hand
I'm cold but you light the fire in me
My lips search for your lips
I'm hungry for your touch
There's so much left unspoken
And all I can do is surrender
To the moment, just surrender

Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It's always a rainy day without you
I'm a prisoner of love inside you
I'm falling apart all around you, yeah
