Nightcore (Queen) - Queen 2 (1974): 08. Nevermore

Queen II is the second studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 8 March 1974 by EMI Records in the UK and Elektra Records in the US. It was recorded at Trident Studios and Langham 1 Studios, London, in August 1973 with co-producers Roy Thomas Baker and Robin Geoffrey Cable, and engineered by Mike Stone. “Nevermore“ The previous track ends with a three-part vocal harmony from Mercury, May, and Taylor which flows into Mercury playing the piano. This piano carries on to open this track making “Ogre Battle“, “The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke“ and the current track, into a medley. All the vocal parts were performed by Mercury, who added some contemporary piano “ring“ effects as well. These effects were widely suspected to be synthesisers; however, they were created by someone plucking the piano strings while Mercury played the notes. “Nevermore“ is a short ballad written by Mercury about the feelings after a heartbreak.
