      other hard Queen fans Deacon was/is and will ever be one of four. Allways same
      big part like Mercury, May and Taylor. That is clear. I mean she/he gives as a realistic
      sight how much other peoples or journalist - NOT hardcore Queen fans
      - of the world they see Queen: they see the big voice of Mercury, they see the
      big riffs of May and the power of Taylor. But must see Deacon only in his
      shadow and think he is not so important. That this is a fail we know it.

    This is a legendary song written by the incredible John Deacon. As an introvert who is still being bullied in school, I really relate to John. I believe that introverts have a special power, John showed it to us. And it hurts so much that when the shy man wanted a break from all of these, people wasn't able to respect his decision. I think that if those people can just see the world through John's perspective, they will understand how shy introverts feel. We all love John Deacon, don't we?
    Thank you so much for reading.

But when back in my room, I'd stack em up & fall asleep every night playing Queen LP's on the stereo w/my headphones on. I bought 5 of their albums in 1 day once, making multiple trips to the mall, each time somehow convincing my mom the Record Bar only had 1 of each, & if I didn't return to buy them, I dunno, they'd never restock?

    John Deacon is a genius! The first time I heard this song, I’m not kidding, I teared up the moment I heard the first verse of lyrics! That was crazy to me! I’ve never had such a random, immediate and sudden reaction to a song like that before... Just a beautiful piece.....The lyrics are so relatable to anyone who has a dream, big or small, but is always told “no” by most of those around them, or even by society in general. The lines “he spends his evenings alone in his hotel room, keeping his thoughts to himself,” made me really start crying! I graduated high school last year and took a year off to try and figure myself out and what I wanted to... just DO, and every day I sat alone at home (parents working, sibling still goes to grade school, friends going to university... I could have worked but decided not to) dreaming of what I want to be... what I want to change and what I want to leave behind; and I keep those thoughts, those plans, all to myself. What makes it tough is when everyone else around me seems to be aiming for/ encouraging me to aim for that “emerald bar” and that’s 100% awesome if that’s what they want or if that’s what makes them happy and satisfied, but I guess the need to shoot higher is both a blessing and a curse. And it’s hard, sometimes daunting to allow yourself to really think *freely* , because people will doubt and will question if you REALLY have said “ambition,” but we just need to spread these little wings and fly! Show them all wether it’s big or small! Beautiful, meaningful and honest lyrics by John, delivered by Freddie’s amazing voice combined with such a beautiful melody by the best band ever. Gosh, I love Queen! ❤️ (I never type comments this long but I just had to for this one!)

Or at least if they were actually playing, the sound they'd make out there in Roger's back garden wouldn't be anything like the polished, studio sound you're actually hearing on this.

    I love this song, always have. I used to play it over and over in 1978. I thought I was the only one who rated it. It spoke to me - Doing very boring jobs, not being happy and wondering what to do next. I was 19 years old. Well, I'm still here, and great songs like this certainly aided the journey... Thanks Queen

This song is one of my top songs, and I relate to this so much. My favorite member is Johnny (the writer of this song) and I started playing bass because of him (this was the first song I learnt) . On my tombstone I want them to write "Spread your wings and fly away". Enough coincidences?

    LYRICS:💥
    Sammy was low
    Just watching the show
    Over and over again
    Knew it was time
    He'd made up his mind
    To leave his dead life behind
    His boss said to him
    Boy, you'd better begin
    To get those crazy notions right out of your head
    Sammy, who do you think that you are?
    You should've been sweeping up the Emerald bar
    Spread your wings and fly away
    Fly away, far away
    Spread your little wings and fly away
    Fly away, far away
    Pull yourself together
    'Cos you know you should do better
    That's because you're a free man
    He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
    Keeping his thoughts to himself he'd be leaving soon
    Wishing he was miles and miles away
    Nothing in this world, nothing, would make him stay
    Since he was small
    Had no luck at all
    Nothing came easy to him
    Now it was time
    He'd made up his mind
    This could be my last chance
    His boss said to him
    Now listen, boy
    You're always dreaming
    You've got no real ambition
    You won't get very far
    Sammy, boy, don't you know who you are?
    Why can't you be happy at the Emerald bar?
    So, honey
    Spread your wings and fly away
    Fly away, far away
    Spread your little wings and fly away
    Fly away, far away
    Pull yourself together
    'Cos you know you should do better
    That's, because you're a free man
    Come on, honey

      I remember seeing an interview that (according to Roger himself) he was hungover and seedy as fuck on the day of shooting.

    John Deacon always writes these nice songs back in the 80s, and everyone is like "UwU he'S sO InnOcEnt" and then theres 'Misfire.'

    I watch this video JUST to see Deacy go perfectly seamlessly from playing the keyboard to the bass that's lying across his lap without missing a beat.

    3:19 at that moment Roger decided to give up on drums and fulfill his dreams of being a conductor, before realising nobody wanted him and he had to go back to drumming
    Edit: it’s a joke XD
    Edit 2: thanks for 1k likes, I know no one really cares but that’s cool

      Naw, no attempt to conduct. He just made a gesture during a free moment and continued drumming as planned. Sorry, mate.

      Antonio Drugo I think that he would be nothing without his Old Lady, is like a symbiotic relation between Brian and his guitar where if one dies, the other one dies (the same goes for Willie Nelson)

    • @bananer9300

      fun fact: he used a John Birch red special replica because he didn't want to expose the red special to snow in this video.
      Edit: it was a John Birch model.
