This era of Queen was something else. Something about it just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Their best stuff came out of this era (even though their whole career is “best stuff”)
Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night At The Opera.
1974-1975
The golden years. So. Fucking. Good.

My favorite album with my favorite song, Ogre Battle.
Day 20: Seven Seas of Rhye from Queen 2
This song rounds out the end of Queen’s second studio album. We had the instrumental draft of this song in the first Queen album, but this one is the real treat, because we get this song in its entirety.
So, of course, Rhye refers to a magical, mystical land that Freddie Mercury and his sister, Kashmira, created when they were children. (Rhye was also referenced in Lily of the Valley.) This song has lots of nods to mystical lands and creatures and aligns with the prog-rock motifs of the time.
Some background: this was Queen’s third single but first hit, reaching all the way to number 10 in the UK Singles Chart.
Now, delving into the song itself:
YES- that same piano intro, but followed by some sweet guitar riffs. Yup, this one gets me going. It’s so majestic, so grand and sweeping.
The lyrics, though! “Fear me, you lords and lady preachers…” Okay this is some fantasy world-stuff. I am not worthy.
I adore how much confidence this song has. It’s just so unabashed.
The jangling sounds in the background (which I think were made by some random, weird, amazing methods) – are so freaking cool. I love the obvious creativity that went into this track. You can tell these guys were so smart and creative and had such big dreams, even on what was probably a limited budget. And they cranked out this epic song, with all its magic and mystery and grandiosity.
I love the multi-tracking harmonies and the sprawl of the voices. “You are mine, I possess you, I belong to you forever—ever—ever–ever–ahhhhhh!!!!” (that has to be Roger dog-whistle Taylor)
When Freddie says: “Then I’ll get you!” 😀My favorite are those moments when he just says something iconic in the background like that.
This is a rocking song. It just gets me pumped up everytime, singing along.
And the end, the little outro fading out. “Oh I do like to be beside the seaside…”
Overall, this is a tight little song, and it’s no wonder it was their single. It’s so fitting for the time, for the styles of the day, and it was experimental at the same time, with a real potential for what was to come.
So that was Queen 2, one of my favorite albums. What are your favorite tracks off Queen 2?

Hyolyn, from Sistar, "on stage rather than horse...Queendom2" filled the stage
DNI if:
You’re a fairy feller, you’ve ever gathered round the new moonshine to see the feller crack a nut at night’s noon time, you swing your axe and swear, you climb and dare to deliver the master stroke, you’re a ploughman, waggoner will, and types, you’re a politician with senatorial pipe, you’re a dilly-dally-o, you’re a pedagogue squinting who wears a frown, you’re a satyr who peers under ladies’ gowns, you’re a dirty laddio, you’re a tatterdemalion or a junketer, you’re a thief or a dragonfly trumpeter, you’re my hero, you’re a fairy dandy tickling the fancy of your lady friend, you’re a nymph in yellow who’s asked to see the master stroke, you’re a quaere fellow, you’re a solider, sailor, tinker, tailor, or ploughboy, you’re waiting to hear the sound, you’re the arch magician who presides and is the leader, you’re Oberon or Titania who watch by a harridan, you’re Mab the Queen or a good apothecary man, you’ve come to say hello, you’re a fairy dandy tickling the fancy of your lady friend, you’re a nymph in yellow, you’re a quaere fellow, you’re an ostler who stares with hands on your knees, and lastly, you’ve ever said “Come on, Mister Feller, crack it open if you please.”
