Product Information

But perhaps the real gemstones of "The Miracle Sessions" CD are the spoken segments that bookend the musical takes. As the studio tape keeps rolling in London and Montreux, the four members are caught at their most candid, giving listeners the uncanny fly-on-the wall experience of standing amongst Freddie, Brian, John and Roger as they banter, debate, swap jokes and show both joy and occasional frustration.

Three decades since the song was recorded at the 1988 sessions for "The Miracle", Simon Lupton's stunning new video for "Face It Alone" lends a powerful visual dimension to QUEEN's great "lost" anthem. Originally released on October 13, "Face It Alone" is the first new QUEEN song to feature the late Freddie Mercury's vocals in eight years, described by guitarist Brian May as "beautiful and touching." Just as revealing – and sure to be prized by the Queen hardcore – are the spoken exchanges between the four members at the Townhouse, Olympic and Mountain Studios, giving listeners a unique snapshot of their friendship and working dynamic. Now, as Queen’s trusted content creator, Lupton captures all the song’s poignancy and defiance in a dramatic video that touches on themes of solitude, bravery and the redemptive power of friendship. “The meaning of the song has been interpreted that when something catastrophic occurs in your life, your instinct is to surround yourself with what is dearest and most important to you,” he explains.
