Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) Lyrics

"Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)" is a song from the 1976 Queen album A Day at the Races and is written by guitarist Brian May. It is the tenth and final track on the album. The song is notable for having two verses sung in Japanese; it is one of four Queen songs in which an entire verse is sung in a language other than English. The song features a piano, a plastic piano, and a harmonium, all of which are played by Brian May. It is the only point in the album in which Freddie Mercury does not play piano. The album's closing guitar melody is also its opening melody; the sequence was attached to the beginning of "Tie Your Mother Down", the first track on the album. May described it as "a never-ending staircase", otherwise commonly known, musically, as a Shepard tone. The song was released as a single exclusively in Japan, and only as a 7” single; it reached #49 on the Japanese charts.[1] The B-side was the song "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy". The closing Shepard tone was edited off the song. During the Queen + Paul Rodgers tour in 2005, Brian May performed the song during a set in Japan. * Musicians: Freddie Mercury - lead and backing vocals Brian May - guitars (including outro), piano, harmonium, plastic piano, backing vocals John Deacon - bass guitar Roger Taylor - drums, tambourine, backing vocals References to the song: * Yasumi Matsuno is a fan of Queen, and named Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together as a tribute to this song[citation needed]. * "Teo Torriatte" was later referenced by Queen in a line ("we'll sing to you in Japanese") from the song "Let Me Entertain You", featured on their 1978 album Jazz.
