Queen Deeper Dive: “The Night Comes Down" and it's dark again
from Tater Thoughts · host Charly Tate
One of my favorites on Queen's debut, "The Night Comes Down" is Brian's glittery and somber acoustic-driven ballad. It's a standout in their entire catalog; and not just because it's the only De Lane Lea demo to make it onto their debut (it's also the oldest Queen recording on any official release). Its notably subdued and softer sound provides the perfect moment to compare every version (Queen, Queen I, Sessions, De Lane Lea disc). It's a gem of a song that shines differently in each mix.
