    Sometimes I think Brian wrote songs that complemented Freddie's songs like:
    - March of the Black Queen x White Queen
    - Bohemian Rhapsody x The Prophets Song
    - We are the Champions × We will Rock You
    - Bicycle Race × Fat Bottomed Girls

      it's not really a theory, it's kind of obvious. WWRY and WATC for example, were both written because Freddie and Brian both wanted to write a song that they could do with the audience (they decided together to both wrote 1 song each)

    Queen II is my all time favourite album. It's impossible to explain (besides i'm french, so even harder in english), but each time I listen to it, i get the impression it opens the door to a world that only I can access. I viscerally understand it. I agree with each and every single note, each and every single word. It's like my ultimate haven. I wouldn't say all the songs in this album are Queen's best, but as a whole, I would not change a single thing, I wouldn't trade a loser in the end for a Boh Rhap or whatever. All the songs are all exactly where they need to be to tell the whole story of the album. Always takes me to a secret and extraordinary fantasy world, always fills me with joy, a soothing warmth i can't explain. Nothing can reach me when I'm in Queen II. Just love it.

    Live at Hammersmith 1975 is the best version ever done of this song and Freddies piano playing along with Brian guitar playing in that live version will take you outta this universe. Anything that can give you tears and chills at the same time is amazing. Seriously, go listen to that one and come back, there is zero comparison between the two. It's like two totally different songs. Oh and I would 100% wear headphones for that one for full effect! You're welcome! 😉

      One of my favorite concerts in '75. They opened with Now I'm Here and ended with White Queen. I saw them in concert every year and watched them evolve from intense lyrical songs to somewhat cheesy commercialism. It's a pity that Brian's vision for the band waned as a result.

    So sad her eyes
    Smiling dark eyes
    So sad her eyes
    As it began
    On such a breathless night as this
    Upon my brow the lightest kiss
    I walked alone
    And all around the air did say
    My lady soon will stir this way
    In sorrow known
    The white queen walks and
    The night grows pale
    Stars of lovingness in her hair
    Needing - unheard
    Pleading - one word
    So sad my eyes
    She cannot see
    How did thee fare, what have thee seen
    The mother of the willow green
    I call her name
    And 'neath her window have I stayed
    I loved the footsteps that she made
    And when she came
    White queen how my heart did ache
    And dry my lips no word would make
    So still I wait
    My goddess hear my darkest fear
    I speak too late
    It's for evermore that I wait
    Dear friend goodbye
    No tear in my eyes
    So sad it ends
    As it began
