Editorial perspective
QueenOnline places the album in the band's relationship with Highlander, while the track list begins with One Vision. Our editorial route keeps the album and film contexts connected without pretending they are interchangeable editions. The member profiles give another route through the material: Roger Taylor's writing is documented for the title song and Brian May's for Who Wants to Live Forever. External media and commercial releases must be matched to the actual work or edition, rather than merely to the film's name.
