Here is more information about songs from Epic album :

 

"Innuendo" 

is a song by the British rock band Queen. Written by Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor but credited to Queen, it is the opening track on the album of the same name (1991), and was released as the first single from the album. The single debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart in January 1991, the band's first number-one hit since "Under Pressure" nearly a decade before, and additionally reached the top ten in ten other countries. It is included on the band's second compilation album Greatest Hits II.

 

"My Fairy King"
is a song from debut album Queen released on 13 July 1973 
"My Fairy King", written by Freddie Mercury, deals with Rhye, a fantasy world he created with his younger sister and which features in other Queen songs, most notably "Seven Seas of Rhye". Mercury borrowed some lines from Robert Browning's poem "The Pied Piper of Hamelin". The song was written while the band were in the studio, and contains many vocal overdubbed harmonies, which Mercury was fond of. Roger Taylor also displays his high vocal range, hitting the highest notes in the composition. The vocal overdubs technique would later be used in many Queen songs, most notably "Bohemian Rhapsody".

 

"The Prophet's Song" 
is a song written by their guitarist Brian May, originally released on their fourth studio album A Night at the Opera in 1975. It is the longest song produced by the band.

 

"It's Late" 
is a song written by guitarist Brian May and released on their 1977 studio album, News of the World

 

"Father to Son"
is from second studio album Queen II , released on 8 March 1974 .
"Father to Son" was written by May and features heavy metal sections as well as quiet piano parts, in which both May and Mercury played. Like "Procession", "Father to Son" has parts with May on multi-tracked guitar played through the Deacy Amp. It is written from the father's perspective when talking or thinking about his son. Queen immediately added "Father to Son" to their live setlists. In 1975, it was dropped from live shows, but revived a few times in 1976. The song covers a two-octave range: Mercury (G3-A4), Taylor (G4-A5).

 

"The March of the Black Queen"
is from second studio album Queen II , released on 8 March 1974 .
Mercury had been working on this song even before Queen formed. In a 1974 interview with Melody Maker, he said, "... that song took me ages to complete. I wanted to give it everything, to be self-indulgent or whatever." The multifaceted composition, the band's second longest (6:34), is one of two Queen songs (the other being "Bohemian Rhapsody") containing polyrhythm/polymeter (two different time signatures simultaneously 8/8 and 12/8) and a simpler polyrhythm around the end uptempo section, which is very rare for popular music. The lead vocals cover two and a half octaves (G2 – C5).

 

"Made in Heaven" 
is the third single recorded by Freddie Mercury, and his fourth release as a solo artist. Originally featured in Mercury's first solo album, Mr. Bad Guy, the song was modified and published as a 45 rpm single paired with "She Blows Hot and Cold", described on the record sleeve as 'A Brand New Track'. The single reached No. 57 on the UK Singles Chart.

After Mercury's death, the song's title gave the name to Queen's 1995 album Made in Heaven. The song was also chosen, along with "I Was Born to Love You", to be re-recorded for the album, with the previous vocals mixed into a newly recorded instrumental track.

 

"Great King Rat"
is a song from debut album Queen released on 13 July 1973 .
This song, written by Freddie Mercury, is an example of Queen's earliest sound, with lengthy, heavy compositions, long guitar solos, and sudden tempo changes.

 

"Bohemian Rhapsody"
 is a song released as the lead single from their fourth studio album, A Night at the Opera (1975). Written by Queen's lead singer Freddie Mercury, the song is a six-minute suite, notable for its lack of a refraining chorus and consisting of several sections: an intro, a ballad segment, an operatic passage, a hard rock part and a reflective coda. It is one of the only progressive rock songs of the 1970s to have proved accessible to a mainstream audience.

 

"Brighton Rock"
 is a song by British rock band Queen, written by lead guitarist Brian May. The song is the opening track on their 1974 third studio album Sheer Heart Attack. The song features one of Queen's longest guitar solos which is more than three minutes long. The solo has been performed live by Brian May at most concerts since its release. The song gained popularity after its prominent use in the 2017 Edgar Wright film Baby Driver.

 

"Was It All Worth It"
is a song from  is the thirteenth studio album The Miracle , released on 22 May 1989 .
"Was It All Worth It" was composed by Mercury. The song harks back to the band's intricately produced sound in the 1970s. Though the bulk of the song was masterminded by Mercury, all members contributed ideas and lyrics (for example, Taylor contributed the line "we love you madly!"). Deacon later cited the song as his favourite on the album. Taylor uses a gong and timpani. Despite it not being released as a single, it remains hugely popular among the Queen fanbase .


"White Queen (As It Began)"
is a song from Queen II  the second studio album , released on 8 March 1974 .
Written by May in 1968, this song features contrasting acoustic and heavy metal sections. May explained that he conceived the idea for this song while reading The White Goddess by Robert Graves.  The song features May playing his Hallfredh acoustic guitar. The guitar had been given a replacement hardwood bridge, chiselled flat, with a small piece of fret wire placed between it and the strings, which lay gently above. The strings produce the buzzing effect of a sitar.
"White Queen" was performed regularly between 1974 and 1977, and last performed in London in 1978. The live version usually included a long instrumental break with Mercury on piano that was not part of, or omitted from, the album version.
