Queen + Paul Rodgers talks

Roger Taylor, 2008 Rolling Stone

"It was very suitable for us. Quite grand and big."


Brian May, 2008 Rolling Stone

"That song was the first time we thought, 'Ooh, we have a record here — this actually sounds like us.'"


Paul Rodgers, The National

"I would sit down at the piano, start playing 'Time To Shine' or something, Roger would be on a full drum kit and pick up on that, and Brian would fall in on it and all of a sudden we were building a track. We'd do a couple of takes, realise that this was good, work on it some more and then by the end of the day have something that was extraordinary. It was enlightening and inspiring for all of us, not just me, to do that."

Lyrics

With the sun in your eyes and the wind in your face
To heaven you rise in a holy embrace
Your feet on the ground your head in the clouds
And you're wondering if you're never coming down

In an instant the mysteries of life will unfold
The myths and the dragons of time will explode
Here's to a real understanding of truth
For compassion and grace to be given their chance too

Raise up your mind
It's time to shine

A moment down through millennium
Unveiling the secrets of song to be sung
Waters of life flowing soft to the touch
Wisdom remembered have we forgotten oh so much

Raise up your mind
It's time to shine
Raise up your mind
Hey, it's time to shine

Let's awaken from barbarity
Into a world of serenity
Beyond the rage of foolish pride
And on to the golden shores of paradise

Raise up your mind
Hey, it's time to shine
Raise up your mind
Hey, it's time to shine
Raise up your mind
Your time to shine
It's time to shine
It's time to shine
