"The Show Must Go On" is a powerful song by Queen, released in 1991 as the final track on their album Innuendo. Written primarily by Brian May, the song serves as a poignant reflection on Freddie Mercury’s determination to keep performing despite his declining health due to AIDS. The lyrics convey resilience, courage, and the spirit of a performer who refuses to give up, even in the face of adversity. Mercury’s vocal performance is particularly striking, delivering raw emotion and intensity. Released just weeks before his passing, the song has since become one of Queen’s most iconic and moving anthems, symbolizing strength and perseverance. 

 

Side 2 - Keep Yourself Alive (Brian May)

The debut single by Queen, released in 1973 as part of their self-titled first album. Written by guitarist Brian May, the song captures the band's energetic blend of rock and progressive elements, featuring fast-paced guitar riffs, dynamic drumming, and Freddie Mercury's distinctive, powerful vocals. Lyrically, it reflects themes of self-empowerment and perseverance, with a message urging the listener to "keep yourself alive" despite life's challenges. The track is notable for its intricate instrumentation and the band's early signature sound, and while it wasn't a major chart success initially, it has since become a fan favorite and a staple in Queen's live performances. It marked the beginning of Queen's legendary musical journey.
