Don’t Try So HardQueen36rank/position

Queen – Don’t Try So Hard (Official Lyric Video)

Known as one of Queen’s hidden gems, this song is notable for Freddie Mercury’s gentle vocals and its delicate melody.

It appears on the album Innuendo, released in February 1991, the last collection Mercury completed in his lifetime.

The “rain” sound heard in the track is said to come from a preset on the then–state-of-the-art Korg M1 keyboard.

It’s a soothing listen when you’re weary of life or feel like you’re losing your way.

Let the quiet, flowing melody carry you, and try listening while taking deep breaths.

Queen – Flash (Official Video)

When you think of the movie Flash Gordon, it has to be this song! Among the soundtrack crafted by Queen, this is one of the most memorable tracks.

Released in December 1980, it reached No.

10 on the UK charts.

Its appeal lies in the fusion of rock that brilliantly captures the film’s world and sweeping synthesizers.

Composed by Brian May and performed as a duet with Freddie Mercury, the song is a perfect collaboration between cinema and music.

Many people may recognize the catchy intro from hearing it somewhere.

It was later included on Queen’s Greatest Hits and continues to be loved by generations.

It’s the perfect track not only to enjoy while watching the film, but also whenever you want to feel your spirits lift!

Queen – Delilah (Official Lyric Video)

Freddie Mercury, Queen’s vocalist, was known for being a devoted cat lover.

On Queen’s 1991 classic album Innuendo, he sang about his beloved cat in the song Delilah.

Reading the lyrics, you can clearly picture Freddie being wrapped around Delilah’s paw—it’s hard not to chuckle.

In the track, guitarist Brian May uses a talk box effect to imitate a cat’s meow, expressing their love for cats in a quintessentially Queen way.
