Queen - A Kind Of Magic (Highlander Version)

This version of A Kind Of Magic comes from the 2011 Deluxe CD remasters by Bob Ludwig and was released on September 5th, 2011 in the UK. This is quite possibly the best version of A Kind Of Magic released. This is the original version that Roger had in mind before Freddie "locked hiimself away" with the track. The album version, with Freddie's influence, ended up being slightly poppy and dance oriented. This original version was much more somber and atmospheric. Written by: Roger Taylor Produced by: Queen and David Richards Musicians: Freddie Mercury - lead and backing vocals, synthesizers John Deacon - bass guitar Roger Taylor - drums, electronic drums, drum machine, synthesizer, backing vocals Brian May - guitars ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics: One dream, one soul, one prize, one goal One golden glance of what should be (It's no good) One shaft of light that shows the way No mortal man can win this day The waiting seems eternity The day will dawn of sanity Is this a kind of magic There can be only one This rage that lasts a thousand years Will soon be done This flame that burns inside of me I'm hearing secret harmonies The bell that rings inside your mind Is challenging the doors of time The waiting seems eternity The day will dawn (ahhh) of sanity (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh) This is (this is) a kind (a kind) of magic There can be only one This rage that lasts a thousand years Will soon be, will soon be, will soon be done This is a kind of magic A kind of magic
