SPREAD YOUR WINGS (part 2)

What exactly does the Emerald bar represent in ‘Spread your wings’? The line about Since he was small Had no luck at all Nothing came easy to him…. could point directly to Deacky’s childhood. His talent was not undisputed and shining bright, like Freddie’, music was not his love from the first sight, it wasn’t his life (as we now know, he was able to leave it, at least public performances), the choice of instrument was a fluke and he had to work hard to reach a good level. And the constant “critical voice” of some “boss”, which explicitly said: You’re always dreaming You’ve got no real ambition you won’t get very far…. it may be the voice of his mother who saw the softness and sensitivity of son and worried where his love for music would lead him, what price fame and the stage would ask.

John, despite the mentioned slow “feeling home” thing, fell in love with QUEEN from the beginning. THAT was his love at first sight.

1973’s note (just 4 years before ‘Spread your wings’ appeared!): “Both Nigel Bullen and his wife Ruth felt they already knew of Queen’s importance to John, but they were astonished by his white hot intensity. Before the evening was finished John Deacon was talking of Queen’s ten-year plan and going into great detail about future world tours; it all seemed extremely imaginative, though they didn’t mention it. “His personality is usually quiet and reserved but he was the most animated I have ever seen him that night,” said Ruth Bullen. “He spent hours talking about Queen, constantly playing the album through. It was all done so intelligently, with such microscopic detail. He was talking about other bands and how they’d been ripped off and how everything had to be so well organised from the very beginning.”

With other hand, all childhood and youth ambitions (Deacon was 26 y/o on moment) already fed, he’s with QUEEN, and group – on top of the world, John was recognized in pubs, asked for autographs (he’s shy and angry, but agreed).

Wings already spread wider than ever before and another winged creature named Freddie Mercury took Deacky under his wing (how many bad wing metaphors can I insert in one sentence?!). So, maybe this song is referred with the coldness of hotels, early wake-up calls, sound checks in huge halls and loneliness? He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room Keeping his thoughts to himself he’d be leaving soon Wishing he was miles and miles away Nothing in this world nothing would make him stay And at home (he already has his own!) warm wife and a couple of boys are waiting for him. He had enough money to live out the rest of life without needing it like he did when he was a kid. Or are these subtle allusions to a place where John still had a big hole, compared to the rest of the Queens? He can’t sing.

In 1977 Roger was first who make a solo attempt, with single “I wanna testify”. And Deacon in an interview (later) is piercingly honest: “Yes. Of course, I do it’s awful it’s like being in a wheelchair in a way because you can’t actually express yourself in the way that you’d like to. If I could sing it would be lovely. No, it’s a handicap, a great handicap, in terms of writing songs. I wish I could but I can’t.”

SPREAD YOUR WINGS (part 5)

Deacon, of course, has opened Pandora’s Box in 77′ interview, with his “there’s a meaning and references to my personal things“. I want to dive deep and find out. Why didn’t any of these useless journalists question him more thoroughly? Why did friendly biographers get off with just a simple list of hit parade places and release dates in different countries when they had the opportunity to ask John personally??

On the other hand there’s something in this song, beyond mere words and a sketchily sketched situation, maybe something very heart-wrenching? Something you can imagine in your life? Naked honesty that you can feel in your bloody skin? Or it’s just me..

At it’s simplest, it’s a song that makes me live. Wraps me up warmly and kindly asks to keep moving. Good music is often empathetic, our link to it more about feelings than meaning/lyrics. That’s some true thing inside of the song. It just feels like – you can do it, I know, I believe in you. And that’s what I need to get me out of my Emerald bar. Deacon’s simple uplifting songs, with hearts of gold (c) Not my words, but I absolutely agree. PS I kinda sang ‘Spread your wings’ long before I’ve learned English enough to understand lyrics of it ))

Or maybe people like 39 more than spread your wings.

Cause they are free to have opinions, just like you do, dear.

No hate on this one. Just stating a fact.

The opposite works the same.

Some will just think spread your wings is over ratted.

That is not my case. I think both songs are amazing. Both speak to me on different levels.

Come on dear. These polls are just for fun. No one's life depends on it. So chill and carry on loving Queen for the reasons you enjoy

Love love love

I'm also perfectly chill anon, and perfectly aware of all you said here. Do you write to everyone who gives a loud opinion you disagree with in these polls?

I 100% agree with you and I wasn't that serious as you think. I also really like '39 and I think it's the 2nd best Brian song in ANATO Prophets song supremacy

Just saying SYW (and John) being the everlasting underrated one just because Bri is more popular has always been a fact as well and I'm a lil tired of enduring it or pretend it's not like that

[eileen-crys]

68% of voters never had to repeat to themselves "Pull yourself together, 'cause you know you should do better, that's because you're a free man, come on honey, fly with me." with their voice cracking with pain and emotion to make it through a hard day and I'm happy for y'all guys
