The Miracle was the fifth and last single from Queen's 1989 album The Miracle. It was composed by the entire band, although Freddie Mercury was reportedly the main driving force behind it. It was released as a single in late November 1989, some six months after the album. It was the last of the singles from that album to be released, and the first time that a 5th single had been released from any of Queen's EMI albums.
In the video, Four young Queen impersonators do a remarkably accurate riff on the band before, in the final third, being joined by the real thing. Slightly bizarre in those opening moments, it's actually rather cute by the end. The young Freddie is Ross McCall, who would grow up to star in Band Of Brothers TV series...
It's by no means my favourite Queen song, but it's certainly one of my favourite videos....
