SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:20 Min.
It’s an instrumental of Queen’s “Who Wants to Live Forever” from the 1986 Highlander film. The piano-driven track made its CD debut in 1991 upon A Kind of Magic’s re-release. Brian May performs the piano sections. Notably, this remix runs two minutes shorter than the original song.
REVIEW:
Even without Freddie Mercury’s haunting vocals, this poignant track is still potent. For the ethereal “Who Wants to Live Forever” from this same album, the “Forever (Remix)” delivers a high-caliber reprise.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
Note: There’s a digitally-remastered rendition of “Who Wants to Live Forever” on Queen’s 2002 Platinum Collection.
