Queen – Don’t Try So Hard (Official Lyric Video)

Known as one of Queen’s hidden gems, this song is notable for Freddie Mercury’s gentle vocals and its delicate melody.

It appears on the album Innuendo, released in February 1991, the last collection Mercury completed in his lifetime.

The “rain” sound heard in the track is said to come from a preset on the then–state-of-the-art Korg M1 keyboard.

It’s a soothing listen when you’re weary of life or feel like you’re losing your way.

Let the quiet, flowing melody carry you, and try listening while taking deep breaths.
