Queen - Sail Away Sweet Sister (To The Sister I Never Had) (Lyrics)

[MegaBobQ]

Love this song and Brians voice .. but at 1.44 the master shines :) go Freddie !!!!

[DeepFrozenSalmon]

My song!

[drl7597]

This song will always have a place in my heart, I don't care what people think, It is special to me. It's a great song.

[oltoothless]

This song got me through boot camp (1989) without a full-scale breakdown. I loved it then, and I love it now

[ScottNicholasSimpson]

One of my favourite Queen songs... <3

[Music4youize]

Been a Favorite since I found it :D

[LilithEdwigeAtena]

Awesome :)

And all my compliment also to Axl Rose, who loved and knowed Queen too much for sing this song in an old concert :D

Very good music... ah, Queen *w*

[MrPENGTINGZ]

Axl Rose brought me here <3

[icantstopchewinggum]

the verses are the best- so goooood briii!! seem so shy, but man you can sing!

[zibimark]

Boskie !

[Maddogaboutqueen]

6 dislikes? What's music, when that isn't?

[amanda2109114]

Brian May!!!! You have the voice of an angle!!!!!!!

[Queenwasmadeinheaven]

I miss my big sister, who's studying far away from us... I understand now that everytime I said it was not that good to have a big sister, it was a lie. My sister is a true gift !

[TheOngelma]

Brian I love you! <3

[icantstopchewinggum]

i love this song

not the chorus as much but i love the verses, brian's solo, and freddie's little part

i always get chills :)

[skybourne96]

4 sisters and 3 brothers and i'd never want them to sail away from me

[16szczudka]

@skybourne96 That's like me (but 3 sisters and 4 brothers)

[icantstopchewinggum]

oh i just fucking love it! (chillschillschills)

nothing like The Game - 1980 baby :)

Totally at their best. freddie at the height of his "who gives a shit" attitude- grew a moustache and didnt give "two shits" (as he said) that people sent him razors. They were all so young and cute. They had so many hits (bites the dust, crazy little thing, play the game)

And then there's this. freeaking brilliant. that little piece of fred in the middle. amahzing!! :):)

[reljaskrbicja]

i have 1 brother and 1 sister and its enough for me

[thealexogeno]

AGUANTE QUEEN LA CONCHA BIEN DE LA LORA!!!!!!! QUEEN LO MAS GRANDE QUE HAY!!!

[queen4858]

best !!!!!! brian never had a sister but freddie have !

[Queenwasmadeinheaven]

One of the best songs of queen, definitely.

[DjRobin2000]

1:54

[eLeNa8049]

La canzone è bellissima.. Soprattutto il significato.. Ma nessuno supera la voce di Freddie Mercury <3

[MrHappyme7]

sounds very like beatles......

[spiderfr0mmars]

brian's voice is so underrated... he does a beautiful vocal

[alolish]

Reminds me of my very best friend... He sent me this song... and every time I heart it.... Memories :) I miss him.

[joefreeman856]

La tercera es la vencida

[WaterBottle1998]

Reminds me of Snape and Lily from Harry Potter.....

[musiclovelife89]

take it the way you want it but when they let you down my friend sail away sweet sister back to my arms again ♥

[kittenkraze13]

Reminds me of my very best friend... like he's singing it to me. Makes me weepy.

[jamstein555]

cool intro to guns n roses sweet child o mine live in paris:)

[willow097]

Every time when I hear this song I think of my older sister... She's leaving home for a few days, she's going to college... From this song started my big love to Queen... That sister showed me it... And I have loved it. I have loved Queen - mostly this song. I will miss my sis...

[FreddieMfan45]

Some of you people are so stupid. Brian has a voice of an angel,and in real life he never had a sister,so what's wrong with being inlove with your sister? I'm so disapointed with the human race. Some of you really need to close your mouths and open your ears. This is a true masterpice so be thankful that this song even exists. Anyways,thank you for this video!

[slapshot37GNR]

@FreddieMfan45 It's funny 'cause he does have a voice of an Angel at 1:49 (he always has a great voice actually)

[SIMONNEVADA]

@FreddieMfan45 human race will disappear one day for its own blame and stupidity, but for now better enjoy with all those jewel-songs that queen gave us...Brian's one of the best guitarman at all times!

[cynikalb]

@FreddieMfan45 your grammar disappoints me.

[Zakk1010]

I'd never heard this music, OMG it's perfect

[killdoser123]

I love how queen makes up names for people like Hot child and calling ur sister a little babe ^^

[9tome6]

@killdoser123 That's Freddie singing that part. Maybe he finds Brian's fictitious sister attractive? Stop overthinking it :P

[DeepFrozenSalmon]

i love this song, especcially because, during my holiday, i met a girl who feels to me as the sister i never had, now i'll probably never see her again : (

[twotoneify]

my heart is always with you no matter what you do..............

[joas92]

I absolutely love the part where Freddie sings, from 1:44 - 1:58

[imdanimal]

Loved it when I was 12. Love it equally today.

[AlejandroM9623]

I love this song, I can't stop listening to it, Is just beautiful !!!!

[katvini10002]

Damn, I love Brian May.

[katvini10002]

Damn, I love Brian May

[queenrthechampions]

if brian had sung this to me when he had first written it, i wouldn't have left him x

[queenrthechampions]

love this song so much thanks fo wrriting it brian, all of your songs are the best, even though i love them all! thanx for uploading xxxx and thanks very much to queen for creating love you so much <3 x

check out my playlist, this is the first song on it x

[AndreBoudreau]

The lyrics aren't exactly right, but it's nice to know someone appreciates this song.

[TheDJJed]

HAHA! Axl brings me here! XD

[szor1]

@TheDJJed Too bad

[robledejusticia1]

Wow, I've been a Queen fan since... forever! But I never knew this, on this bridge of Sail away, sweet sister 1980, (on 1:44) I could swear that it's Freddie singing those lines, and then Brian comes back in. Am I crazy? Who's with me?

[ThePlanetchild]

@robledejusticia1 yeah, it does sound that way. maybe brian couldnt hit the high notes

[spacecowboy7580]

@robledejusticia1

That's Freddie, no doubt about it.

[freakystyley4000]

It has a great outro bass solo!

[toss277]

3 more videos and you get 200!!!!!!!!!!!

[ciccisharon]

why ia any teenager telling how old she/he is? Who the hell cares?

[Roos5991]

@ciccisharon Actually I was saying that because a lot of people from my age are listening to music from Lady Gaga or Bruno Mars or things like that. I was wondering if there were people here with the same age as me.

I know it sounds pretty useless but I was just wondering about it.

I'm sorry if it bothered you.

[Isis8]

@Roos5991 you shouldn't have to apologise to that smartass. Don't pay attention to people like that. They obviously lack pride for real music and the new generation listening to it.

[Roos5991]

@Isis8 Okay, thanks :)

[cassidy356]

@Roos5991 how old are u again?

[Roos5991]

@cassidy356 I'm 16.

[cassidy356]

@Roos5991 well im 14 and i listen to queen nirvana guns n roses.....

[Roos5991]

@cassidy356 nice

[Gilishacham97]

@cassidy356

me too =) !!



[cassidy356]

@Gilishacham97  nice :):):)

[cassidy356]

@Gilishacham97 thats nice :)

[ardillezca]

It's hard when your sister becomes a lady, lot of changes. She is my number one girl, she's amazing and I will always love her, forever.

[eLeNa8049]

THE BEST SONG OF THE QUEEN.

FOR ME

<3

[hary202]

since i've heard this song, a single didn't pass away without hearing this at least once. pure brilliance.

[hary202]

brian may rocks!

[MeJustLittle]

today my stefsister asked me if i would sing this to her at het last good bye when she asked me i cryed T_T

[nickel4x5]

Wow, talk about memories. The third album I ever owned was Queen's The Game. This song was my most favorite and I even think I remember it to be the second or third last song on side B. Yup those were the days...lifting the needle to line it up over and over to replay one's favorite songs. AHHHHHH

[freddie957]

GREAT SONG. I love Queen

[RechisQuetzalli]

my mom's favorite song T-T

I think I'll sing it to her on Mother's Day... T-T

MOM, QUEEN, I LOVE YOU!!

[toyotasupramaster]

my father owns all original discs of queen

ALL HAIL QUEEN

[DrMaybrianna]

I can be his sister! :)

[Gasti990]

Better From Axl Rose

[NGabrielH]

This song is a part of my life.Anything that I had forgotten and I remember in these moments. Different and old times, different situations. I was a young boy. Now I'm a man. But I remember it with pleasure.

Grateful greetings

Gabriel.

[caramel3011]

I want a nice brother like this...

[mulholland1985]

brian may is...i dont know the correct term to call him...coz i m scared that i myt understate it...u simply dont make bands like this anymore..

[Ninimini999]

This makes me cry

every. single. time.

[thezaylady]

I love the "AhhhhAHHHHH!" after "Way too soon." It's like an anguished cry of loss. Heartbreakingly beautiful.

[DominoGray]

Am I the only one who hears a stark similarity to a lot of Styx's sound, particularly 'Renegade', in this song

[EmmyCeB]

oh God, the bassline is fantastic

[Luxmaxnike]

all of them were good, writers, but my favorite was brian. freedie is almost as good, though. all of them worked in "under pressure" right?

[roy06666]

@Luxmaxnike Under pressure il a duet with David Bowie

[MegaQueenlover]

I bet Brian would have made an amazing big brother :) All the other band members have little sisters, except him. Freddie had Kashmira, Roger had Claire and John had Julie. Poor Brian <3

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

@MegaQueenlover yes, poor Brian... =( Have you ever seen a photo of Claire orJulie? I was always so curious about their sisters...

[MegaQueenlover]

@TheJumpyPopcorn No, I actually never saw any pictures of any of the band with their parents and siblings. There's plenty with their spouses and children and a few of them when they were young and with their school friends, but i suppose they keep the other pictures private. I never actually heard their sisters being mentioned, except on Wiki and in Phil Sutcliffe's "Queen: The Complete Illustrated Biography"

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

@MegaQueenlover ô.O??? So you never saw Freddie with his parents, Brian´s parents and Roger and John´s mom? I think you should check out a website called " themarchoftheblackqueen.piczo"­, it has lot of information and rare photos! Thank you so much for the info! ;-D

[OFreakGirlO]

BRIAN WROTE THIS INCREDIBLY TOUCHING AND EMOTIVE SONG.

QUEEN IS THE BEST OF THE UNIVERSE, PERIOD.

[stevcil]

Brian wrote this song, not Freddie.Check it out on their album Jazz

[MrNikcccc]

:')

[lichachay]

I love Queen, Pink Floyd and The Beatles, (but especially Queen ;D) so much, and this song for example, is a perfect song that much better that all this shit on MTV today. Too bad that people forgot them.

[tay104]

You are all stupid aren't you. Freddie wrote the song, Brian sang part of it because his voice fit the part. MYSTERY SOLVED!!!

[MegaQueenlover]

@tay104 Eh no. Freddie had a sister, Kashmira, who's still alive today, so why would he say "To the sister i never had"? Brian has never had any siblings, and he sometimes sings on his own compositions anyway (39, All Dead, All Dead, Sleeping on the Sidewalk, etc.) Brian never sang main lead vocals on Freddie's songs.

[GothicAnnamal]

@tay104 I downloaded this from Amazon and it credits Brian May as the composer. Brian was also a prolific song writer and he wrote some amazing songs ('Sail Away Sweet Sister, 'Who Wants to Live forever', '39' etc).

[TheRedprofessor]

@tay104 WTF!!

[PicKPiT]

@tay104 wow you really are dumb

If you dont know shut up

Brian wrote and dedicated this song for a sister he wished he had and that's why he sang it

Freddie sang the bridge because Brian couldnt reach the high note while singing falsetto

FYI: In all freddie's songs he was the lead singer never roger nor Brian ;-)

[307laura]

@tay104 Jeez..get your facts right. Brian wrote the song not freddie. Everybody knows that.....well maybe except for you. So next time just shut your mouth so you dont embarrass yourself

[denouncechristianity]

This is my favorite of theirs.

[penny370]

@denouncechristianity you got taste:) This and 'hammer to fall' are my favourites.

[MrGumball144]

evan axl rose used this song in his concerts. just shows how great it is. classic

[Boenerst668]

How does a band like Queen even form? The chances of all everyone finding each other, having all this musical talent, and then deciding to form a band seem very small. Lucky for us though, Queen happened.

[HippieChick1776]

@Boenerst668 so Queen was (pardon the pun) a Miracle? ;D

[gmodgod12]

HOW THE FUCK CAN ANYONE DISLIKE THIS SONG

We ought to find them and beat the shit out of them.

[DerDeziBelzeBub]

one of the best songs brian may has written! what a great piece of music ;)

[iLuvPizza95]

Oh sorry, I just remembered it was Brian who sung it, not Freddy :) So don't bother in replying!! ;)

[kendraamc]

@iLuvPizza95 i totally replied xD whatchu gunna do about it xD lmfao jk

[iLuvPizza95]

@kendraamc I guess I'm gonna laugh at you for tryin to be funny when you just aren't :\

[kendraamc]

@iLuvPizza95 your lame xD

[iLuvPizza95]

@kendraamc Yeah, I'm the lame one -.-u

[kendraamc]

@iLuvPizza95 spazz over the comment why wont you, make a big deal about it xD 

[iLuvPizza95]

@kendraamc u do like to argue don't you -.-

[iLuvPizza95]

One of my favorites ever. But I've always wondered who of them wrote it, for, as far as I know, Freddy did have a little sister. Does anyone know?

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

@iLuvPizza95 Brian did. Freddie had a younger sister called Kashmira and Brian was an only child.

[Darleemes]

Awesome Album !!!

They created THEIR OWN GENRE...

and still the ONLY band to EVER be in that genre...

ROCK OPERA !!!

[Darleemes]

Awesome Album !!!

[kadshah]

one of my favorite queen songs

[Maddon54]

Only Queen can produce such a beautiful song and also have the power to wite such hard hits like Tie Your Mother Down <3

[sadmadmaddy]

one of the most beautiful songs of queen

[TheGNR2000]

Great song :)

[Ewizdu]

I'M IN LOVE<3 :)

[Gambo916]

One of my all time fave Queen tracks.

[gokvegegotengohanful]

mee to is dedicated to the sister i never have

[SimoHudsonBerto]

Fantastica...

[PicKPiT]

How the fuck does a guy manages to write a beautiful ballad like this and write a groovy and swing song like dragon attack? and in the same album... genious

[sebasredspecialfan]

@PicKPiT Brian wrote this, roger wrote dragon attack

[PicKPiT]

@sebasredspecialfan lol one guy says that was written by john you say roger

People learn queen history!!!

Roger wrote coming soon and Rock it (prime jive)

John wrote Another Bites the Dust and need your loving tonight

Brian wrote DRAGON ATTACK, SAIL AWAY SWEET SISTER and Save Me

Freddie wrote The Game, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Dont try Suicide

Thats the game writing history

Thank you very much

[chpman2013]

@PicKPiT because Brian May IS a genius....literally....I mean, he has a freakin' PhD. in astrophysics!

[Supercharge87]

I first heard this song on my original vinyl copy of "The Game." All of my mom's, aunts' and uncles' records somehow ended up in my possession, and that's how I discovered this great album and song.

[nhoodfan]

this is going for my ipod!!!!!

[DaizyLizard]

2:13 Jizz<3

[PrudenceNumberNine]

I end up skipping this song on the record...I can't listen to it without crying. :-/

[TheBreezyjackson]

lol guyz somtime this week Ill be posting a cover of this song maybe tuesday :) check it outt

[ben5leto]

i don't understand how this song didn't make it to the hits. it's pure genius!

[heartflowergirl]

@ben5leto You're right, this song really had to be a great hit! :D

[joakkko95]

The Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber don't understand what "like" means so they pressed the dislike button -.-

[FeFeMcKagan]

@joakkko95 man that was a great burn :) respect :D

[ursulafinallyhastits]

@joakkko95 Just finally stopped laughing at that comment. I think I wee'd a little! Nice one

[thechaircover]

@joakkko95 wow arent you funny

[wayneburgess63]

Most underated song this group ever did. Great track. :)

[zibimark]

Freddie it's God music!!!

[itsbridgetlogann]

@saaritahh I think they are just trying to say nobody will be Freddie or something

[heartflowergirl]

I love this song, I'm only child too!

[bremtee]

I'm sorry i have to say this... but Bryan May. you shouldn't sing anymore your voice isn't queenish

[no1caresanymore]

@bremtee I agree with you, but it's still a nice song. : )

[rmtdrums]

@bremtee Idiot. A bit late now this was done back in 1978 ish. It's his song. You should know that whichever voice of the three sounded best then they used that. Roger, Freddie or Brian. You poor person.

[bremtee]

@rmtdrums I think youre idiotic, I do like the soon but the voice of Brian isn't good enough for the solo songs.. With the 3 I totally agree with you.

[Vaolbo]

@bremtee I think brain's voice in a solo sounds fine.

[TheLaura1008]

@Vaolbo I think the same

[bremtee]

@Vaolbo Agreed in a solo, but not all the way in a song, thats what I ment..

[Piccosoruffo]

@bremtee You are a dick.

[smexymichaelx2]

love this song :P

[Vicenteelcaliente]

love that bass at the end

@Vicenteelcaliente yeyeye.me too...it´s a huge influence for me!
