Doing Alright
Queen · The Crown Jewels [1998]
Now today I know what I'm doing
Gotta feeling I should be doing all right
Doing all right
Where will I be this time tomorrow
Jump in joy or sinking in sorrow
Anyway I should be doing all right
Doing all right
Should be waiting for the sun
Looking round to find the words to say
Should be waiting for the skies to clear
There a time in all the world
Should be waiting for the sun
And anyway I've got hide away
Ah ah ah ah
Yesterday my life was in ruin
Now today God knows what I'm doing
Anyway I should be doing all right
Doing all right
Doing all right
Doing Alright - Queen
Released on the 1998 compilation album The Crown Jewels, 'Doing Alright' is a rare studio recording by Queen that stands apart from their iconic rock anthems. Unlike many of the band's famous tracks, this song features a softer, more intimate arrangement that highlights the group's versatility beyond stadium rock. The recording showcases Freddie Mercury's distinctive vocal style within a context that reflects the band's enduring ability to adapt their sound for various musical settings. While not part of their original 1970s discography, its inclusion in later compilations underscores its status as a genuine contribution to their catalog. The track remains a testament to Queen's commitment to quality across different eras, offering listeners a glimpse into their musical range outside of their most recognizable hits.
