Queen Deep Dive: I'm leaving here, I'm "Long Away"
from Tater Thoughts · host Charly Tate
Brian is once again folk-inspired in this lovely magical and melancholy number, "Long Away". Seldom commented on, this beautiful song doesn't get the attention it deserves. It's simple, with minimal use of chords, but its arrangement includes offbeat instruments and voices, and John's bassline is incredibly melodic. In a way, this sticks more than Brian's earlier (and more well known) "'39" does. I hear it in my head a lot.
