Heaven for Everyone  "Heaven for Everyone" is a song written by Queen drummer Roger Taylor. It originally appeared in his side project The Cross's album "Shove It", with Freddie Mercury as a guest vocalist, and it is the album's fourth track. It was reworked with Queen's music and appeared in the 1995 album "Made in Heaven" where it was the seventh track, and was released as the first single — four years after Mercury’s death. Queen's version reached number two on the UK Singles Chart while peaking at number one in Hungary and becoming a top-ten hit in several other European nations. Directed by David Mallet, the music video opens with images of graffiti messages in tribute to Mercury outside his home, Garden Lodge, Kensington in London, before showing footage of Georges Méliès seminal 1902 silent film "A Trip to the Moon" and "The Impossible Voyage" (1904). Some reports have Taylor writing the song in 1986 as part of Queen's "A Kind of Magic" album sessions, after their work on "Highlander" was complete. If he did, the song was not used, or was incomplete when the album was finished. When Taylor started working on the album "Shove It", he recruited Freddie Mercury to record backing vocals. Two versions were recorded, one with Mercury doing backing to Taylor's lead vocals, and another with Mercury singing lead. The backing track of each was rerecorded as well, instead of the two lead vocals being recorded over the same instrumental backing. The Taylor-vocal version is about twenty seconds longer than the Mercury-vocal version. The Cross versions also feature a spoken intro by Taylor, as well as a spoken refrain in the middle. The refrain in the Taylor vocal has an extra lyric not sung in the Mercury-vocal version (though it appears in the printed lyrics). Both versions end with Taylor saying "And that. Is the end. Of this section." It's unclear if he means 'section' as that half of the album, or the serious-issues section of the album (this song being the only "serious" song on the album). The UK edition of the album "Shove It" featured Mercury's vocal version, while the UK single featured Taylor's vocal version. In the US, the album featured Taylor's vocal version and neither were released as a single. The song, Taylor noted, "had some good stuff about love and dignity; the usual antiwar thing." Queen’s music video for the song commemorates Mercury.
