Quote related to 'The Miracle' from 'The Miracle'

I think that's one of the songs where we all contributed. I think on this album it's the closest we've ever actually been in terms of actually writing together and that's quite true - before, we've actually had individual songs, that we sort of put about and bring to the other people, and the other, I mean, you know, the others would put their sort of bits in it, but I think from the start, these tracks have actually emerged by the four of us. So that's why I think this album's got nearly all tracks written by Queen, but lyrically going back to The Miracle, I think the four of us really put everything into it, because I mean, somebody would come in with one line and say, “oh that's terrible” and change it, and so, in fact, I mean, in one way I hate that because I have to keep singing the different lyrics every day, until, until we sort of agree on the final one, but I'd say, lyrically, The Miracle is a definite four-way split.

Freddie Mercury; BBC Radio One, 29th of May 1989
