Текст песни Las Palabras De Amor

Written by guitarist Brian May, the lyrics for "Las Palabras De Amor" were inspired by Queen's close relationship with their South American fans.A Top 20 hit in the UK, "Las Palabras De Amor" marked the band's fourth appearance on Top of the Pops (the first, second and third being for "Seven Seas of Rhye", "Killer Queen" and "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy"). For the mimed "Top Of The Pops" performance, May is seen playing a grand piano, though on the recording there are only synthesizers (played by May). On the album recording, May also sings lead vocals for the harmonized line "this time and evermore". During the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium in 1992, this was the third song of the second half, performed by Zucchero and Queen. In Queen + Paul Rodgers Rock The Cosmos-tour 2008 it was played in the Spanish speaking countries, sung by Brian. This song also made onto 1999 Queen's Greatest Hits III after Made in Heaven song "Heaven for Everyone" and before Brian May's smash hit "Driven by You". The baby's face image of the single's cover would reappear on The Cross single for their song "New Dark Ages". Brian May, 1982: "I write best when I'm not on guitar; maybe a few riffs or the basis, but strangely enough, you usually get the most perspective on a song when you're on an instrument that you're not accustomed to. I'm not accustomed to playing the piano and I find that quite inspiring, because your fingers fall on different patterns. Whereas on a guitar, I pick it up and know where my fingers are going to fall. Mostly I sit alone someplace and think about it. That's the best way. I don't think my songwriting has changed as much as the others in the group. I tend to write more traditional Queen material like 'Las Palabras De Amor'. I still tend to write melodies and that certain sort of heaviness, which the group does well at its best; the guitar and piano which have that sort of thick sound. I really enjoy that, although these days it's used a little bit more sparingly." Brian May, 2003: "The minimalist era of Queen, liked by some but not by others, but this particular track was un-minimalist, it's really rather romantic. I was playing keyboards in this one, Freddie seemed to be less inclined to play keyboards, and many ideas came from keyboards rather than guitar. I like the track, painted with a very light brush."
