The duality of man

with summer fast approaching, a quick reminder to not point out anyone's self-harm scars, burns, stomach rolls, stretch marks, cellulite, eczema, psoriasis, etc. and a reminder that if you have any of these, you're allowed to wear revealing clothing and swimsuits. you deserve to enjoy summer too.

Queen’s final studio album:

“Freddie generously recorded his final recordings, ‘A Winter’s Tale’ and ‘Mother Love.’ Freddie knew his time was limited and he really wanted to work and to keep going. He felt that that was the best way to keep his spirits up, and he wanted to leave as much as possible. We certainly agreed, so we backed him up right to the hilt. I think the last thing that he wanted was to draw attention to any kind of weakness or frailty - which was all too obvious anyway. He didn't want any kind of pity or anything like that, and he was incredibly brave about the whole thing.” - Roger Taylor

“At the time of Freddie’s final recordings, strangely enough, we developed such a great closeness as a band that were quite joyful times. There was this cloud hanging over, but the cloud was outside the studio, it wasn’t inside. I have really great memories of those times.” -Brian May

Freddie’s wishes were for the band to continue and he made sure they had enough material to make it possible to soldier on without him. It was nearly two years before the band could bring themselves to approach the project again.

In the spring of 1994, the band began combing the vaults for sunken treasures. Brian said, he had “delved deep” was no exaggeration, with The Game-era material like It’s A Beautiful Day gathered alongside the vocal parts laid down in Montreux earlier that decade. All of it, stressed May, was “very precious stuff”.

As Brian remembered of the process: “You were just listening to Freddie’s voice twenty-hours a day and that can be hard. You suddenly think, ‘Oh God, he’s not here, why am I doing this?’

“The whole album is a fantasy,” May continued, “because it sounds like the four of us are there all together, having fun and making the album. Of course, for most of the time, when you’re listening, that’s not the case. It’s built to sound that way. And a lot of love went into that.”

“Brian and I, certainly, felt that we knew what Freddie would have been thinking,” added Taylor. “We felt like he was almost in the corner of the room. We sort of got there. And I was very pleased with the result.”

I can now listen to “Made In Heaven” and it’s just joy – and I feel like it was the right album to finish up on…”

In 2013, Brian May said about the album "[Made in Heaven] was possibly the best Queen album we ever made. It has so much beauty in it. It was a long, long process, painstakingly put together. A real labour of love." ♥️

‘Made in Heaven’ was released November 6, 1995 and debuted at #1 in the UK, (it was their fourth No. 1 in row, and seventh overall)

The album was lovingly Dedicated to the immortal spirit of Freddie Mercury 💔
