" Spread Your Wings " is a power ballad by the rock band Queen , from their 1977 album News of the World . [2] Written by bassist John Deacon , it was released as the A-side of the single "Spread Your Wings"/" Sheer Heart Attack " in 1978. According to music writer Benoit Clerc, "Spread Your Wings" was chosen as the 2nd single from News of the World because the band regretted releasing " Tie Your Mother Down " as a single from A Day at the Races over Deacon's " You and I ." [3]
The lyrics of "Spread Your Wings" tells of a character named Sammy, who works cleaning floors at a bar but dreams of improving his life despite his boss telling him that he has no ambition. [3] Deacon has said:
The song has to do with a number of personal experiences from recent years. I'd rather not say in detail, because I don't like to explain songs. People should figure it out for themselves, I think...It's not always easy, let me tell you. You deal with a lot of things that are not always pleasant. Of course, money is wonderful, but I don't need to be very rich. I just don't want to fall back into a state of poverty, which a number of fairly famous musicians have ended up in. I want to try to keep something for the future. [3]
Queen FAQ author Daniel Ross described "Spread Your Wings" as Deacon's "first attempt at narrative songwriting." [4] Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury considered it to be the best song Deacon had written to date. [5]
Musicologist Nick Braae describes the structure of "Spread Your Wings" as being somewhat unusual, in that after the initial verse and refrain centered on the key of D major , there is a bridge centered on the key of B minor , followed by an instrumental bridge that starts moving back to D major for the next verse-refrain pair. [6] Deacon used this double-bridge strategy in several other songs, including "You and I" and " Need Your Loving Tonight ." [6]
The track features Freddie Mercury on piano and vocals, Brian May on electric guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass and acoustic guitars. [3]
The song is unusual for Queen in that it uses a 3rd person narrative. [7] It is also the only Queen single that does not have the rest of the group providing backing vocals to Mercury's lead. [3] [7] [8]
"Spread Your Wings" was not released as a single in North America. However, the live version from Live Killers was featured as the B-side to Queen's 1979 hit, " Crazy Little Thing Called Love ", which reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 . [9]
Dayton Daily News critic Gary Nuhn called it "a song with Beatles -like lyrics of a man pulling himself up. [10] Courier-News critic Bill Bleyer says that it makes a similar point as the more popular song, " We Are the Champions ," – that "while the established order continues to hold down the young, they can still make it if they try" – it does so better and "without overpowering the listener." [11] Ross described it as a "melancholy anthem" that has "the same sense of bombast as 'We Are the Champions' but shot through with existential sadness and a desire to burst the shackles of mundane employment." [4]
Clerc praised Mercury's vocal delivery, saying that he sang the song "superbly, emphasizing the lyrics with his compelling vocal dexterity." [3] Andrew Wild said that it's a "commercial song with a terrific chorus" and is "sung with real conviction by Freddie Mercury." [8]
Ultimate Classic Rock critic Eduardo Rivadavia rated the song as the 4th best song Deacon wrote for Queen, praising its "rising appreciation of musical drama." [7]
A live version of the song appears on the band's 1979 album Live Killers . [2] The song peaked at number 34 in the UK Singles Chart .
The music video for "Spread Your Wings" was shot in January 1978 in the garden of Roger Taylor 's house in Surrey , on the same day the band also shot the video for " We Will Rock You ." [3] [5] The video was directed by Rock Flicks . [3]
This song was covered by German power metal band Blind Guardian on their 1992 album Somewhere Far Beyond . The same recording reappeared on their 1996 album The Forgotten Tales . [17]
1977 at Sarm West and Wessex Studios

Original title: Donne-moi des ailes

It has a similar story with Fly Away Home (1996).
"Donne-moi des ailes" is a true tale of innocent courage. A child risks it all to save his family of geese, by taking them across hundreds of miles. It kept me engaged throughout, and awoke in me a sense of wonder. It is heroic in a way that children of this time ought to know. Without being preachy it encourages us to act on our beliefs, and to give our children a world to inherit.
