It was meant to be their 12th Album. The year was 1989. It was the 14th year, since they tasted worldwide success. It was also meant to be the first album since their last live appearance in 1986 in Knebworth. They knew that they were rock legends, but the best...and worst were yet to come. This album included the collaboration of the four band members' combined ideas, for the very first time.
The cover picture, made an emphasis on the technology available at the time. It also utilised the fact, that choosing the 4 now familiar faces and merging them into one - symbolised the teamwork- following months and years of speculations that the days of the band were counted.
It went on to be one of the most acclaimed albums in rock history, not only because of the high level of professionalism but also because the music differed totally from the previous albums. You could feel, smell & taste, that something was different; something was going to happen soon.
One more album was to be released before the lead singer's death; another one would have been released after 4 years from the last one. But that time was still to come.
In one of the songs, one cannot help but to notice, the last remnant, significant words: - "That time will come, one day you'll see, when we can all be friends".
The four members of this band were John Deacon, Roger Taylor, Brian May and the late Freddie Mercury. The group was Queen. The album was the Miracle.
With these words I chose to start and end my first note, on the first day of a new year, to show that if you really believe, if you really feel, if you really want, you can still be the one that will bring the peace where before war breathed - you can bring light where dark used to settle, you can be the peak, the culmination of a passage in life called PEACE. Start today. Start afresh. Live forever in the hearts of those whose life you will change with a simple word that you really mean and that comes from the heart. SHARE CARE, BREATH PEACE, LIVE LOVE, FEEL COMPLETE.
