A Winter’s Tale

Ég var að lesa svoltið sem kom mér örlítið á óvart. Sá sem stjórnaði upptökum á Made in Heaven var að segja að síðasta lagið sem Freddie söng áður en hann dó, flestir hafa verið á því að síðasta lagið hafi verið Mother Love. Freddie kom á hverjum degi í stúdíóið og söng eina til tvær línur. Þegar hann var búinn að syngja lagið fór hann beint heim til Bretlands og dó tíu dögum seinna.

Þetta er mjög flott lag einsog flest á Made in Heaven.

It’s Winter-fall
Red skies are gleaming – oh –
Sea-gulls are flyin’ over
Swans are floatin’ by
Smoking chimney-tops
Am I dreaming…

Am I dreaming…?
The nights draw in
There’s a silky moon up in the sky – yeah –
Children are fantasising
Grown-ups are standin’ by
What a super feeling
Am I dreaming…

Am I dreaming…?
Woh-woh-woh-woh
(dreaming)
So quiet and peaceful
Tranquil and blissful
There’s a kind of magic in the air
What a truly magnificent view
A breathtaking scene
With the dreams of the world
In the palm of your hand
(dreaming)
A cosy fireside chat
A little this, a little that
Sound of merry laughter skippin’ by
Gentle rain beatin’ on my face
What an extraordinary place!
And the dream of the child
Is the hope of the man
It’s all so beautiful
Like a landscape painting in the sky – yeah –
Mountains are zoomin’ higher – mm –
Little girls scream an’ cry
my world is spinnin’ and spinnin’ and spinnin’
It’s unbelievable
Sends me reeling
Am I dreaming…

Am I dreaming…?
Oooh – it’s bliss.
