Queen - Face It Alone (Official Video)

QUEEN rediscovered track featuring Freddie Mercury ‘FACE IT ALONE’ is out now!

Precedes arrival of Queen ‘The Miracle Collector’s Edition’ coming November 18

Having generated a media firestorm back in the summer when band members Brian May and Roger Taylor first leaked news of a rediscovered Queen song featuring Freddie Mercury being considered for possible release, the highly anticipated ‘lost’ track, ‘Face It Alone’, is out now.

The track’s existence was first revealed by May and Taylor in a BBC radio interview at their appearance at this year’s Royal Jubilee concert at which they performed the opening with their regular singer Adam Lambert, with Roger Taylor describing it as “a little gem from Freddie that we’d kind of forgotten about”, with Brian May saying “it’s beautiful, it’s touching.”

The track’s arrival as a single leads in a November 18 release of a new revisiting of the band’s 13th album, The Miracle, the band’s penultimate to be released in Freddie Mercury’s lifetime, which now becomes available in a lavish 8-disc Queen The Miracle Collector’s Edition box set format.

Among its contents, the expanded set includes The Miracle Sessions: an hour-plus disc of further previously unreleased recordings, including six unpublished songs. Just as tantalising for fans, the audio includes the band’s candid spoken exchanges on the studio floor in London and Montreux, giving the most revealing window yet into the four members’ creative process and the joy, in-jokes and banter on their return to working together.

‘Face It Alone’ was originally recorded during the band’s historic 1988 sessions for that album, a prolific period which saw the band lay down around 30 tracks, many of which were never released, but remained among those that didn’t make the final album cut. It was rediscovered when the band’s production and archive team returned to those sessions to work on The Miracle box set reissue.

“We’d kind of forgotten about this track,” admits Roger Taylor, “but there it was, this little gem. It’s wonderful, a real discovery. It’s a very passionate piece”.

The single will be the first new song featuring Freddie Mercury released in over 8 years. On 2014’s Queen Forever album the band included three previously unheard tracks with Mercury, including ‘Let Me in Your Heart Again,’ ‘Love Kills’ and ‘There Must Be More to Life Than This.’

Speaking of the rediscovered track, Brian May says: “I’m happy that our team were able to find this track. After all these years, it’s great to hear all four of us … yes, Deacy is there too … working in the studio on a great song idea which never quite got completed … until now!”

Face It Alone Official Lyrics:

When something so near and dear to life,
Explodes inside,
You feel your soul,
Is set on fire.

When something so deep and so far and wide,
Falls down beside,
Your cries can be heard,
So loud and clear.

Your life is your own,
You're in charge of yourself,
Master of your home,
In the end,
In the end,
You have to face it all alone.

When something so dear to your life,
Explodes inside,
You feel your soul,
Is burned alive (burned alive).

When something so deep and so far and wide,
Falls down beside,
Your cries can be heard,
So loud and clear.

Your life is your own,
You're in charge of yourself,
Master of your home,
In the end,
In the end,
You have to face it alone.

When the moon has lost its glow,
When the moon has lost its glow,
When the moon has, when the moon has lost its glow,
When the moon, when the moon has lost its glow,
You have to face it all alone.

As somebody born after Freddie passed, this is technically the first song I've heard of Queen that has been new at the time. A dream come true

During these hard times. It was very comforting to hear Freddie's voice again. Love this song so much

[DJSkandalous]

This is amazing. Shoutouts to everyone involved and the engineers that arranged the song from various takes. Sounds perfect. Hopefully we see more Mercury tracks see the light of day.

[TheVisionaryArtist]

I really hope today’s youth can discover Queen. This is the type of music that touches your soul on a level that cannot be replicated. It’s as if we hit a pinnacle of music from the 60’s - 80’s. The production of this music is bar none some of the greatest of all time. I hope one day we can get back to this level of artistry, with passion and soul.

[pressplayulysses]

It's been 3 decades since Freddie left us, but here we are, listening to a new song from Queen.

Who wants to live forever? Their music and legendary status sure do.

I am one of the younger fans of Queen. I am 14 years old. When I found out tbis song was getting released I was over the moon, I only found out the queen wear last year, ever since I have been obsessed with the same music.

Thank you for the opportunity to hear Freddie beautiful voice once again.
I love Freddie's voice. It has no equal, even after all this time.

[a.sherman]

I'm a very young at heart 82 and just discovered Queen !! Im sure i was blazing trails elsewhere when Freddie was hot. But when I heard who wants to live forever for the first time, I fell madly in love. Im so glad I found him and Queen. I just finished reading Jim Huttons book, Mercury&Me. Interesting read. I keep wanting to find out more and more about Freddie and have considered bidding at Sotheby's !!!

[ramesse.p]

This could be a perfect song for a new James Bond movie. Absolutely briliant vocals. Thank you Freddie, Brian, John and Roger for this masterpiece.

[evandroid]

The final scene of Freddie's hands running down the mic is so strong and beautiful... 🖤

The good thing about Queen is they put you in touch with your feelings, the bad thing about Queen is they put you in touch with your feelings 😍😍

[natalibrajkovic]

Hearing Freddie's voice once again is so bittersweet, it melts and breaks my heart at the same time. At first I feel we are so blessed to be given another masterpiece, then again I grieve for all those masterpieces we have been left without.
Brian and Roger, I cannot be thankful enough!
👑👑👑 Queen forever! 👑👑👑
