Who else thinks Roger wrote Good Times Are Now for his then girlfriend Dominique? It’s such a sweet and upbeat song and the lyrics “I loved you then, I love you now” Like my heart can’t take it 🥹💗💗

June 19th, 1989 - Queen Story!

Queen released ‘Breakthru’ bw ‘Stealin’’ in the UK

Taken from 'The Miracle' album, thirteenth studio album released in May 1989

🔸"It's the prime example what we were talking about before, I mean, the track 'Breakthru' sort of stemmed from Roger, really, it's basically his track. But the sort of a capella vocal bit in front was from someone else, as we've said: we have 30 tracks, and that was a little piece that I thought was quite good, and I didn't want it to go amiss, and I just said, 'Oh, well, we’ll just put it in front of "Breakthru".' It’s basically another song, sort of seem to go away quite nicely, so, we just snipped it."

- Freddie Mercury, interview with Mike Read, BBC Radio One, 29/05/1989

🔸"Breakthru" is two songs joined. "A New Life Is Born," an unreleased song written by Freddie Mercury is lhe slow vocal harmony during the first half minute was originally . The remainder of the song is written by Roger Taylor, with contributions from the rest of the band
