Spread your wings

For this week's "Music Monday," I am going to be introducing the incredible song 

"Spread your wings" by Queen.

I absolutely love Queen, and in my opinion- despite Simple Plan and Green Day being my favourite bands- I think the greatest band of all time would be Queen (and The Beatles). Over the past month, I've been listening to their albums from the beginning, so an album a week. Last week I reached their sixth album 'News of the World,' which contains their famous songs "We will rock you" and "We are the champions." But despite these absolutely epic songs, the song that stood out to me most was "Spread your wings," written by John Deacon.

Last week was the first time I ever heard the complete album and also the first time I heard of that particular song. And I'm going to sound absolutely pathetic when I say, that it was a really magical experience, as my wonderful friend and I were listening to the original record on his turntable, while lying on the floor. And I know this is probably really sad of me, but I was so excited to be listening to an actual record, as I'm so used to listening to music on my iPod, but there is something so mesmerising about listening to a record.
Anyway, as soon as this song started to play, I closed my eyes and I didn't even realise that I was crying, because it was so beautiful and I couldn't believe that I never knew this song existed before then. And that is why I really want to share it with others, because it is such a sublime piece of music:
