Freddie Mercury is back from the grave with a haunting new single.
Queen’s “Face It Alone” — a lost track from the sessions for 1989’s “The Miracle” — has been unearthed 33 years later and was released Tuesday.
The track finds the unmistakable Mercury — who died, at 45, from AIDS-related complications in 1991 — reflecting on his life in typically dramatic fashion.
“Your life is your own/You’re in charge of yourself/Master of your home/In the end, in the end/You have to face it all alone,” he sings in the chorus amidst the eerie atmosphere.
With its mournful piano set against a funereal drum beat, the somber mood can’t help but make you think that Mercury is facing his own death — and facing it alone.
