ArrangementThe track features Freddie Mercury on the piano and vocals, Brian May on the electric guitar, Roger Taylor on the drums, and John Deacon on the bass and acoustic guitars. A live version of the song appears in the band's 1979 album Live Killers.[1] The song peaked at number 34 in the UK. A live BBC radio session recording features a unique speeded-up final section of the song. The song is in 4/4 meter and begins with a simple piano motif in D major, modulating down to D's relative key B minor in the bridge, and returning to D in the chorus. The lyrics of the song describe a troubled young man named Sammy who works at The Emerald Bar, sweeping the floor.[3] The narrator (Freddie Mercury) of the song encourages Sammy to pursue his dreams, telling him to "spread your wings and fly away".[2] "Spread Your Wings" was not released as a single in North America. It was, however, featured as a B-side to Queen's 1980 hit, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (#1 U.S.). Personnel
