DaveClark explains where the new, unreleased FreddieMercury song comes from
, wants to throw this narrative into reverse. Today, Clark shared a new version of “Time,” renamed “Time Waits For No One," set to long-lost footage of Mercury at Dominion Theatre in London. Stripped back to piano and voice, it shows that Mercury could lay you flat without his legendary band or an audience of thousands.
He wanted to use Queen, and I’m a big fan of Queen. But I wanted to do something different. I said, “I’d like to use my guy. If he doesn’t work for you, I’ll pay for him to get Queen in.” It worked beautifully. He started at six in the evening or later at Abbey Road, and he finished at six in the morning. He was just singing like he’d sing to 100,000 people or more.
When you listen to it, it’s got all the emotion of [those three], but it’s Freddie. The nice thing about it is taking away all the things he’s surrounded with. The original “Time” was 96 tracks in all, 48 of them just the vocal backing. When he did his concerts with Queen, he’d say “The bigger the better.” One hundred thousand, he’d love it.
