- On the anniversary of his sad passing, let's take a second to remember the legend that is Freddie Mercury đ 1946 - 1991
âA Kind of Magicâ is the title track of the 1986 album of the same name by the British rock band Queen. It was written by the bandâs drummer, Roger Taylor, for the film Highlander. The single reached number three on the UK Singles Chart, top ten in a number of European countries, and #42 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song is the opening track on the bandâs compilation albums, Greatest Hits II, and Classic Queen.
The phrase âa kind of magicâ is used in Highlander by Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) as a description of his immortality. Roger Taylor liked the phrase so much that he used it as inspiration for the song. There are references to the film in the lyrics: âone prize, one goalâ; âno mortal manâ; and âthere can be only oneâ. The singleâs cover art features an image of Clancy Brown in character as the filmâs villain, The Kurgan.
Taylor wrote the melody and chords for the version that appeared in the film, which Brian May described as âquite lugubrious and heavyâ. Freddie Mercury composed a new bass line, added instrumental breaks, and changed the songâs order to make it more chart-friendly. Mercury and David Richards produced this new version. The song was still credited only to Taylor. Whilst Taylorâs version is at the end of the film, Mercuryâs version appears on the album. Taylorâs version of A Kind of Magic did not see an official release until it was included on the extra EP for the 2011 special edition of the album. - Hudba
