Peter Straker (with Freddie Mercury) - Heart Be Still

Heart Be Still by Peter Straker with Freddie Mercury on backing vocals. Released on Peter's album 'This One's On Me' in 1977. Produced by Freddie Mercury and Roy Thomas Baker. Also featuring Alan Savage on percussion and backing vocals, Mike Allison on guitar, Mike Franks on guitar, and Marc Fox on bass. Written by Ragovoy & Berns.

This is my favorite Freddie collaboration track, and one of my all time favorites from anyone.

Lyrics:

Baby, my heart is breaking
And there's no hope, no hope inside
The sky is an ocean of darkness, hmmm
No-one, no-one, no-one to hold me in the long lonely night

(Tell me) how can I, how can I forget you
Oh, how can I go to sleep
When I know that I love you
I love you and always will

(Heart be still) heart be still
(Heart be still) heart be still
(Heart be still) heart be still
(Heart be still) oh yes

When you, when you are lonely
And you're feeling so blue
Think of (think of, think of) the true love
I gave to you
You know, baby you don't know
I gave my love, my arms are, are waiting

(Come home) come home
(Come home) come home
(Come home) oh, come home
My arms are waiting

(Heart) heart be still now
(Heart be still) maybe, maybe, she'll come back
(Heart) oh, if you ever want me, if you ever need me
(Heart be still) listen, listen

(Heart be still) heart......
(Heart be still)
(Heart)
(Heart be still)

(Heart be still) heart be still, oh yes
(Heart be still) ah, ha, haa
My arms are waiting

Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, haaa
Ha, haaa, haaa, haaaa
Haaa, heart be still

Peter traker should have been huge... Listen to guys like Adam Lambert who has a very similar vocal range

[candy22102000]

@Cricriiii the whole thing is produced by Freddie MERCURY n Roy Thomas Baker

[patkaybites]

As much as I appreciate Peter Straker's amazing vocal range, I can't help but JUST listen to Freddie's voice. It's like during the duration of the song, I just wait to hear Freddie's voice. But don't get me wrong, I love the WHOLE song and I think the lyrics are extremely beautiful :) Thanks for posting this! And I must say, the pictures are just breath taking especially the ones with Freddie ;)

[Cricriiii]

even thought Peter Straker could sing amazingly well, this is such a luxurious thing to be able to afford yourself Freddie Mercury just for some of your backing vocals ! :D
