Keep Yourself Alive 專輯：Queen(1973) 作曲：Brian May 類別：Rock 長度：3:45 Freddie:"a very good way of telling people what Queen was about in those days" 根據 Queen: The Early Years 一書作者的說法，"Keep Yourself Alive"這首歌在1970完成時是由木吉他開頭的(對了，當時的團員只有吉他手 Brian May,主唱 Freddie Mercury 和鼓手 Roger Taylor) Brian另外還說了這首歌本來是要帶有諷刺和開玩笑的味道，不過被Freddie唱過後就完全改變了(是說太帥嗎XD?) 第一版本的"Keep Yourself Alive"是在1971年的De Lane Lea錄音室完成的，前奏是木吉他演奏，中間還多了一段Queen專輯沒有的電吉他solo，歌詞也有小小的不同。雖然這個版本的品質沒有後來得好，不過依然是Brian的最愛。我們最常聽到的Queen專輯版本則是由Mike Stone混音、三叉戟錄音室錄製的。"two steps nearer to my grave"這段歌詞則是從Roger變成Brian來唱。(難得聽到Brian這麼痞的聲音) 第三版比較少見，1975年錄製的"Long-Lost Retake"版本，一開始是要當作美版的單曲，不過最後還是用了Queen專輯版本。和第二版不同處在於更多層次的合聲跟電吉他配音(雖然我完全聽不出來...)。 De Lane Lea版 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1ykD1kbIb4
