Reseña

"Greatest Hits II", de 1991, es la monumental secuela de su primer recopilatorio y una compilación esencial de la banda Queen. Lanzado apenas un mes antes del fallecimiento de Freddie Mercury, de hecho, el álbum adquirió un significado emocional instantáneo. Por lo tanto, sirve como crónica de su exitosa y camaleónica etapa de 1981 a 1991.

En esencia, este disco documenta la maestría de la banda en el rock de estadio y el pop de sintetizadores. Por ejemplo, incluye himnos generacionales como "Radio Ga Ga" o "I Want to Break Free". Además, no podían faltar colaboraciones legendarias como "Under Pressure", junto a David Bowie, ni tampoco éxitos cinematográficos como "A Kind of Magic". Ciertamente, cada canción es un clásico por derecho propio.

El álbum, en consecuencia, demuestra la increíble capacidad de Queen para evolucionar con los tiempos sin perder su esencia grandilocuente. A fin de cuentas, la recopilación culmina con la conmovedora "The Show Must Go On", un testamento de valentía. En definitiva, "Greatest Hits II" es un viaje espectacular por la segunda década de la banda y un homenaje perfecto a su inagotable talento para crear himnos inmortales.

letra de A Kind Of Magic
Words and music by roger taylor

It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic

One dream one soul one prize one goal
One golden glance of what should be

It's a kind of magic
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day

It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time

It's a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity
Is this a kind of magic

It's a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm here in secret harmonies

It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic

It's a kind of magic
The rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be will soon be
Will soon be done
This is a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done-done
Magic - it's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
Magic magic magic magic
Ha ha ha it's magic
It's a kind of magic

Under PressureVer letra 3:56

letra de Under Pressure
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man asked for
Under pressure, that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

That's ok
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow, gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets

Chippin' around, kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours

People on streets, people on streets

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow, gets me higher and higher and high
Pressure on people, people on streets

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Love

Insanity laughs under pressure, we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?
'Cos love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance

This is ourselves under pressure, under pressure, pressure

letra de Radio Ga Ga
Words and music by roger taylor

Radio I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And evrything I had to know
I heard it on my radio

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by mars
You made em laugh - you made em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
Radio

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time you had the power
Youve yet to have your finest hour
Radio

All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio someone still loves you

We watch the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years

Lets hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time you had the power
Youve yet to have your finest hour
Radio

All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Someone still loves you

Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
Radio

You had your time you had the power
Youve yet to have your finest hour

letra de I Want It All
Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper light on his feet
A young fighter screaming with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see a way out
It ain't much I'm asking I heard him say
Gotta find me a future move out of my way
I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now
I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now

Listen all you people come gather round
Gotta get me a game plan gotta shake you to the ground.
Just give me what I know is mine
People do you hear me just give me the sign
It ain't much I'm asking if you want the truth
Here's to the future for the dreams of youth
I want it all (give it all) I want it all I want it all and I want
It now
I want it all (yes I want it all) I want it all (hey)
I want it all and I want it now

I'm a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one life time (people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and wheres and whys and living
Lies
So I'm living it all (yes I'm living it all)
And I'm giving it all (and I'm giving it all)
Ooh ooh ha ha ha ha
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I want it all all all all

It ain't much I'm asking if you want the truth
Here's to the future
Hear the cry of youth (hear the cry hear the cry of youth)
I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now
I want it all (yeah yeah yeah) I want it all I want it all and I
Want it now

I want it I want it

InnuendoVer letra 6:27

letra de Innuendo
While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow
Till the mountains crumble into the plain
Oh yes well keep on tryin
Tread that fine line
Oh well keep on tryin yeah
Just passing our time
While we live according to race, colour or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion
Through the eons, and on and on
Oh yes well keep on tryin
Well tread that fine line
Oh well keep on tryin
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

Through the sorrow all through our splendour
Don't take offence at my innuendo

You can be anything you want to be
Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
Be free with your tempo, be free be free
Surrender your ego - be free, be free to yourself

Oooh, ooh -
If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky
If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask
Oh yes well keep on trying
Hey tread that fine line
Yeah well keep on smiling yeah
And whatever will be - will be
Well just keep on trying
Well just keep on trying
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

letra de Breakthru
Words and music by queen

When love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born
Somehow I have to make this final breakthrough
Now

I wake up
Feel just fine
Your face
Fills my mind
I get religion quick
Cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something you're touching me
I'm under your thumb under your spell can't you see
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough - oh yeah

Breakthrough these barriers of pain
Breakthrough to the sunshine from the rain
Make my feelings known towards you
Turn my heart inside and out for you now
Somehow I have to make this final breakthrough
Now!

Your smile speaks books to me
I break up
With each and every one of your looks at me
Honey you're starting something deep inside of me
Honey you're sparking something this fire in me
I'm outta control
I wanna rush headlong into this ecstacy
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough

If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough
Oh yeah
Breakthrough breakthrough

If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough

If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough

letra de Who Wants To Live Forever
Words and music by brian may

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
From us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?

There's no chance for us
Its all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

Who dares to love forever?
When love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today

Who waits forever anyway?

letra de Headlong
And you're rushing headlong, you've got a new goal
And you're rushing headlong, out of control
And you think you're so strong but there ain't no stopping
And there's nothin' you can do about it, nothin' you can do
No there's nothin' you can do about it
No there's nothin' you can, nothin' you can nothin' you can do about it
And you're rushing headlong, you've got a new goal
And you're rushing headlong, out of control
And you think you're so strong but there ain't no stopping
No there's nothin' you can do about it

He used to be a man with a stick in his hand
Hoop diddy diddy, hoop diddy do
She used to be a woman with a hot dog stand
Hoop diddy diddy, hoop diddy do
Now you've got soup in the laundry bag
Now you've got strings, you're gonna lose your rag
You're gettin' in a fight
Then it ain't so groovy when you're screaming in the night
Let me out of this cheap 'b' movie
Headlong down the highway
And you're rushing headlong out of control
And you think you're so strong
But there ain't no stopping and you can't stop rockin'
And there's nothin' you can, nothin' you can, nothin' you can do about it

When a red hot man meets a white hot lady
Hoop diddy diddy, hoop diddy do
Soon the fire starts a raging gets 'em more than half crazy
Hoop diddy diddy, hoop diddy do
Now they start freaking everyway you turn
You can't start walking 'cause your feet got burned
It ain't no time to figure wrong from right 'cause reason's out the window
Ya better hold on tight
You're rushin' headlong, headlong out of control
And you think you're so strong but there ain't no stopping
And there's nothin' you, nothin' you, nothin' you can about it at all

Yeah, yeah, alright, go
Had you rushin' headlong, down de highway
And you're rushing headlong out of control
And you think you're so strong but there ain't no stopping
And there's nothin', nothin', nothin' you can about it

There's the hole, push
Push it, push it
Push it, push it
Yeah (Push it, push it), yeah (Push it, push it), yeah (Push it, push it)

letra de The Miracle
Words and music by queen

Every drop of rain that falls in sahara desert says it all
Its a miracle
All gods creations great and small
The golden gate and the taj mahal
That's a miracle
Test tube babies being born
Mothers, fathers dead and gone
Its a miracle

Were having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
The wonders of this world go on
The hanging gardens of babylon
Captain cook and cain and able
Jimi hendrix to the tower of babel
Its a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
Its a miracle

The one thing were all waiting for is peace on earth - an end
To war
Its a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle were all waiting for today

If every leaf on every tree could tell a story that would be a
Miracle
If every child on every street had clothes to wear and food to
Eat
That's a miracle
If all gods people could be free to live in perfect harmony
Its a miracle

Were having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
Open hearts and surgery
(wonders of this world go on)
Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting
But mona lisa just keeps on smiling
Its a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle

(wonders of this world go on)
Its a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
Its a miracle

The one thing (the one thing) were all waiting for (were all
Waiting for)
Is peace on earth (peace on earth) and an end to war (an end
To war)
Its a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle peace on earth and end to war today

That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be

That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be

letra de Invisible Man
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can see right through me

(Freddy Mercury)
When you hear a sound that you just can't place
Feel somethin' move that you just can't trace
When something sits on the end of your bed
Don't turn around when you hear me tread
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can see right through me
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can see right through you
(John Deacon)

Now I'm in your room
And I'm in your bed
And I'm in your life
And I'm in your head
Like the cia or the fbi
You'll never get close
Never take me alive
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can see right through me
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can see right through you
Ha, ha, ha, hello
Who goes there?
Ha, ha, ha, ok
Who goes there?
Ha, ha, ha, hello, hello, hello, hello
Never had a real good friend, not a boy or a girl
No-one knows what I've been through, let my flag unfurl
So I'll make my mark from the edge of the world
From the edge of the world, from the edge of the world
(Brain May, Brain May)

Now I'm on your track and I'm in your mind
And I'm on your back but don't look behind
I'm your meanest thought
I'm your darkest fear
But I'll never get caught
You can't shake me, shake me dear
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can see right through me (Watch me now)
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can see right through you
Look at me, look at me

Here we stand or here we fall
History wont care at all
Make the bed light the light
Lady mercy wont be home tonight yeah

You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
Were just waiting
For the hammer to fall

Oh evry night and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face the western way
Build your muscles as your body decays yeah

Toe your line and play their game yeah
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it's time for the hammer to fall

Rich or poor or famous
For your truth it's all the same (oh no oh no)
Lock your door the rain is pouring
Through your window pane (oh no)
Baby now your struggles all in vain

For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder louder

What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it wont hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
While your waiting for the hammer to hammer to fall

Its gonna fall
Hammer.. You know.. Hammer to fall
Waiting for the hammer to fall now baby
While you're waiting for the hammer to fall

Give it to me one more time

Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest

Its not easy love but youve got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands cos friends will be friends right till the
End

Now it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
Youre getting used to life without him in your way

Its so easy love cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands cos friends will be friends right till the
End

Its so easy love cos you got friends you can trust
