Innuendo
Queen Lyrics
One two three four
Ooh ooh
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, we'll keep on trying
Oh, we'll keep on trying
Yeah
Just passing our time
Oh oh
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, we'll keep on trying, yeah
We'll tread that fine line
Oh oh we'll keep on trying
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Through the sorrow all through our splendor
Don't take offence at my innuendo
Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh
Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh
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
Oh oh, yeah
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
Ha, if there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself destroy our fears release your mask
Oh yes, we'll keep on trying
Hey, tread that fine line
(Yeah) yeah
We'll keep on smiling, yeah
(Yeah) (yeah) (yeah)
And whatever will be will be
We'll just keep on trying
We'll just keep on trying
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

"Innuendo" was pieced together "like a jigsaw puzzle." The recurring theme (with the Boléro-esque beat) started off as a jam session between May, Deacon and Taylor. Mercury then added the melody and some of the lyrics, which were then completed by Taylor.
The middle section was primarily Mercury's work, according to an interview with May in October 1994's Guitar Magazine. It features a flamenco guitar solo, followed by a classically influenced bridge, and then the solo again but performed with electric guitars.

The middle section was primarily Mercury's work, according to an interview with May in October 1994's Guitar Magazine. It features a flamenco guitar solo, followed by a classically influenced bridge, and then the solo again but performed with electric guitars. This section is especially complex, featuring a pattern of three bars in 5/4 time (reasonably uncommon in popular music) followed by four bars in the more often used 3/4 time.
The "You can be anything you want to be" section features a very sophisticated orchestration, created by Mercury and producer David Richards using the popular Korg M1 keyboard/synth/workstation. Mercury had arranged and co-arranged orchestras in his solo career, and closed the previous Queen album with "Was It All Worth It", which included a Gershwin-esque interlude also coming from an M1 synth. The bridge section in "Innuendo" is in 3/4, showing once again Mercury's affection for trinary metres: "Bicycle Race" is another one with main sections in 4/4 and middle-eight in 3/4, and some of his best-known pieces (namely "We Are the Champions" and "Somebody to Love") were in 6/8, as would be his last ever composition, "A Winter's Tale".
Steve Howe and Mercury had been friends for several years, since they ran into each other quite often at the Townhouse Studios in London. Yes had been recording at Mountain Studios in 1978 shortly before Queen bought the Swiss studio, and Asia's debut album was produced by Queen's engineer, Mike Stone.
Paul Sutin had released his debut album in 1988 and began recording the second. Steve Howe had played on the first as guitarist and bassist, and Sutin asked him to produce the follow-up, which Howe agreed. This time Howe didn't play bass, only guitar and keyboard, but all of the drum parts in 'Voyager' were recorded by his son. Howe travelled to Geneva to lay his parts down in early 1989. On a break he drove to Montreux and stopped to have lunch. There he ran into Martin Gloves (who had worked for Yes before and then was Queen's equipment supervisor), who told him that Queen were in the studio at the moment.
As soon as Steve Howe went into the studios, Freddie Mercury asked him to play some guitar (according to producer David Richards, who had worked with Yes in the past as well). Another version is that Brian May was the one who asked him to play the flamenco bit. May admitted in a 1991 interview that he couldn't play the bits Howe recorded.

I just realised
91 Innuendo mainly his no 1
On the last album he saw released also no 1
91 we lost him
91 Christmas bo rap very much his song and their most successful
No 1 second time at Christmas no 1 second time!
Though I'd prefer him to still be here!
(Though both took a lot of work from the band to create)
sbqntly awake
Where the lyric.
Oh,
Here it is:
One, two✌️, three, four
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
'Til the mountains crumble into the plain
Oh, yes, we'll keep on trying
Tread that fine line
Oh, we'll keep on trying. Yeah
Just passing our time
While we live according to race, color 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, we'll keep on trying
We'll tread that fine line
Oh, we'll keep on trying
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time
Through the sorrow, all through our splendor
Don't take offense 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
Ooh, 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, we'll keep on trying
Hey! Tread that fine line
Yeah, we'll keep on smiling. Yeah!
And whatever will be, will be
We'll just keep on trying
We'll just keep on trying
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time

Magic they were still all credited individually
86 last tour
But they didn't know why
He agreed to carry on making music but only if they agreed to do things differently
But they've already claimed they were now tight nit because they knew
87 aids diagnosis but they've claimed it was earlier
Would have been nice to show him happy seeing mary start a family
But they've already claimed she was pregnant in 85! And he was selfish about it
showing him and motzarat would be good if done properly
Miracle and innuendo album
But imo they've gone about things the wrong way
I think I'd hate how they dealt with the last years of his life

@Sugarcat
His sister didnt know until august 90
The band didn't know until late in innuendo
But he didn't discuss it being aids with any of them
His story with Mary would have been nice but they've already distorted that
They've changed too much in the first film
It's just to make money not to show or honor Freddie as a person
I hope they dont do one
They probably would show how the band were helping him finish songs
But they didn't even finish them for him before he died
Brian was focused on his solo career
But they could focus on innuendo
Following his story with montzarat would be really good but I doubt they would give it much attention as it would take attention from queen

This is not the voice of a dying man
this is the voice of a free man
this is the voice of a hero
This is the voice of Farrokh Bulsara
This... is the voice of Freddie Mercury.
Максим Лавинюков
this is the voice of a simple man, who's become the God...
