Queen - Keep Passing The Open Windows (Later Demo)

This version of Keep Passing The Open Windows comes from an unknown generation working tape from the ’The Works’ sessions. Originally the speed ran a bit slow, so I have adjusted this. This is a studio take that features Freddie, Roger, and John laying down a piano/drum/bass backing track. The lyrics are still being worked out and Freddie is just quickly singing through the performance. There are no guitar solos or anything from Brian, who would later add guitar solos after the backing track was finalized. The sound quality is good but the performance is a bit rough. Written by: Freddie Mercury Produced by: Queen and Mack Musicians: Freddie Mercury - lead and backing vocals, piano, synthesizer Brian May - guitars, backing vocals John Deacon - bass guitar Roger Taylor - drums, backing vocals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics: This is the only life for me Surround myself in all my own fantasy Got to be strong and believe in yourself Forget all the sadness ’cos love is all you need Just believe Just keep passing the open windows Just believe Just keep passing the open windows (An ad-libbed verse) Just keep passing the open windows Just believe Just keep passing the open windows (An ad-libbed verse) Just believe Just keep passing the open windows Just believe, babe Just keep passing the open windows This is the only life for me, yeah Surround myself around my own fantasy (fantasy) You got to be strong and believe in yourself Forget all the sadness ’cos love is all you need All you need Freddie: Middle eight
