Queen - Silver Salmon (Clear Version)

Unreleased song by Queen either recorded during the first Queen sessions in 1971 or the News Of The World sessions in 1977. Some very reliable sources believe the latter. Possibly written by Tim Staffell.

Lyrics:
Like silver salmon
She falls
They're all burning
Even at em all, yeah
Deep inside they're all burning

Look out silver salmon
Look out, look out, look out the silver salmon

All along the silver skies, ah
More alarming
All the need for silver, ah
Went away

Salmon
Look out, look out silver salmon
Ooh, yeah

Seems to me sometimes the trees
She burns leaves
Her body lies a burning
And falls into the cold sunrise

Ooh, ooh, ow
Ooh
Silver, silver salmon
Silver, silver
Riding on the silver salmon
She can ride the burning sky, yeah

Just when I think I've heard them all.. Along comes Mr. Fuller

[doubletalkinjive87]

I think it was recorded during 1972 sessions.... early Freddie's voice was pure dynamite!!!

[drimmie]

Mercury sounds young in this song, I believe it's 71, but that's just me

[madamemercury123]

I definitely think this is earlier than NoTW. The guitars are heavier, the drums are basic, and I think the singing style isn't dissimilar to Jesus. And the fact that it's more than a little bit Led Zeppish. You can already see where March of the Black Queen was born in the back of Freddie's mind.

@weinberglee Well, In Innuendo and The Miracle (but A.K.O.M. too) is not the Freddie's voice surprised me, it was great as ever, but the hig notes he hitted in the albums. Same thing in A.N.A.T.O. but with low notes

[weinberglee]

@FreddieMercury1994 Because he quit smoking and drinking and looked after himself better as he was ill, in fact this is why his voice sounded better in Mike Morans words like a choir boy

[ferforever74]

20 years after his death and he still surprises me with unknown songs

[ShadesOfWillow]

I just enjoy anyway Freddie sings!

[heino122]

It was composed in 1968 by Tim Staffel

[garryjlindsay]

That's the News of World drum sound and the guitar sound! And Freddie's vocals are clearer, so I go for 1977

[fastica]

@FreddieMercury1994 totally agree!
