Queen’s album The Miracle gave us hit singles “I Want It All” and “The Invisible Man”, but we’ve never got to hear some of the songs they worked on while recording it. The band recently discovered an unreleased song featuring Freddie Mercury, called “Face It Alone”.
Brian May described the song as beautiful and touching while chatting with BBC, adding it was hiding in plain sight before they decided to take a close look at it and put it back together.
“We looked at it many times and thought, ‘Oh no, we can’t really rescue that.’ But in fact, we went in there again and our wonderful engineering team went, ‘Okay, we can do this and this.’ It’s like kind of stitching bits together,” explained May.
Roger Taylor joined May for the interview with BBC, and described the song as “a little gem from Freddie.” He also called it “a real discovery” and “a very passionate piece” and revealed they’ll most likely release it in September.
The Miracle was released in 1989, as the band’s penultimate album to be recorded with the legendary frontman Freddie Mercury before he passed away in 1991. Queen is currently touring alongside Alan Lambert and they most recently opened the Platinum Party at the Palace outside Buckingham Palace to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
