🇪🇸 “He presumido siempre de ser Española allá por donde he ido y he interpretado zarzuelas siempre que he podido. Cantar en castellano cuando estoy lejos de casa es algo que me llena de una gran emoción”.

Hi, just want to share a thought I just had. Freddie's performance with Montserrat is beautiful but at the same time so so so sad. (maybe because it was his last performance?) I want to cry every time I watch it. I feel sad because the world lost a brilliant artist, he still had a lot to show...
Yes! I think it’s such a beautiful moment of two beautiful musicians coming together in such a lovely way. I love their mutual respect and the way they simply seemed to adore one another.
And Freddie’s dreams came true when Montserrat agreed to sing his music. What an amazing feeling that must have been for him.
Also, may I recommend a lovely (but sad) Montsy and Freddie fic?

Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé, with whom Freddie Mercury recorded an album, Barcelona, expressed her opinion: his technique was astonishing. No problem of tempo, he sang with an incisive sense of rhythm, his vocal placement was very good and he was able to glide effortlessly from a register to another. He also had a great musicality. His phrasing was subtle, delicate and sweet or energetic and slamming. He was able to find the right colouring or expressive nuance for each word

(Lyrics undere the cut)
[Intro – Freddie Mercury] Barcelona, Barcelona, ooh, ooh-ooh Barcelona, Barcelona, ooh-ooh
Viva!
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude: Montserrat Caballé & Choral] Ooooh!
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh Ooooh!
[Verse 1: Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé] [Both] I had this perfect dream Un sueño me envolvió This dream was me and you Tal vez estás aquí I want all the world to see Un instinto me guiaba A miracle sensation My guide and inspiration Now my dream is slowly coming true
[Verse 2: Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé] [Both] The wind is a gentle breeze Ooh, él me habló de ti, aah The bells are ringing out El canto vuela They're calling us together Guiding us forever Wish my dream would never go away
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé] [Both] (Barcelona) It was the first time that we met (Barcelona) How can I forget (Ho-oooh-oooh) The moment that you stepped into the room You took my breath away (Ho-oooh-oooh) (Barcelona) La musica vibró (Barcelona, ooh) Y ella nos unió And if God willing We will meet again someday
[Verse 3: Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé] Let the songs begin Déjalo nacer Let the music play, aaah-aaah-aaah! Make the voices sing Nace un gran amor Start the celebration Ven a mi, and cry, Grita Come alive, vive And shake the foundations from the skies (Aaaah-aaaah-aaaah!) Ah, ah, shaking all our lives (Aaaah!) Aaaaah!
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé] [Both] (Barcelona) Such a beautiful horizon (Barcelona) Like a jewel in the sun Por ti seré gaviota de tu bella mar, aaaah-aaah-aaah-aaah (Barcelona) Suenan las campanas (Barcelona, ooh) Abre tus puertas al mundo (Aaaah) If God is willing, if God is willing If God is willing (Aaaaaaaah) Friends until the end Viva, (Aaaaaaaah) Ooh-ooh-ooh, aaah-aaah-aaah-aaaaaaah! Barcelona
[Vocalized Outro: Montserrat Caballé] Oooooh-oooooh-oooooh-ooh! Ooh-ooooooooooh!

Fave Queen Songs Except Bohemian Rhapsody: Poll #B6
Good morning, everyone! Last time on the Queen vs Queen showdowns, "Hammer to Fall" and "Who Wants to Live Forever" went head to head. As for this time:
Previously, "Sail Away Sweet Sister" (https://youtu.be/kGXsIt4l1Tg) solidly defeated "Ensueño" with a 66.7%-33.3% victory.
"Barcelona" (https://youtu.be/Y1fiOJDXA-E), meanwhile, beat "Spread Your Wings" by 64%-46%.
*As mentioned before: the Barcelona album is technically not a Queen album, but consists of duets between Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé. "Barcelona" showed up on my Queen "Greatest Hits" album, though, so it counts enough for me.
