"Brighton Rock" is a song by British rock band Queen, written by lead guitarist Brian May. The song is the opening track on their third studio album ''Sheer Heart Attack''. The song features one of Queen's longest guitar solos which is more than three minutes long. The solo has been performed live by May at most concerts since its release. == History == May wrote the song shortly before the completion of Queen II in 1973. Time restriction meant the song did not appear on Queen II. Before the song being recorded in 1974, variations of the solo was part of "Son And Daughter". There were many working titles for the song including; "Happy Little Fuck", "Happy Little Day", "Blackpool Rock", "Bognor Ballad", "Southend Sea Scout", "Skiffle Rock and "Herne Bay". The title is something of a pun: Brighton rock is a long, cylindrical sugar candy traditional to that seaside resort. The term was also iconic in UK pop culture as the title of a dark Graham Greene thriller/noir novel later adapted into a successful film starring Richard Attenborough as a teenage sociopath. The song, the first track on the album, tells the story of two young lovers named Jenny and Jimmy meeting in Brighton on a public holiday.〔(Brighton Rock ) Allmusic. Retrieved 1 September 2011〕 Jenny cannot linger because she is afraid her mother will find out "how I spent my holiday", but afterwards "writes a letter every day"; Jimmy, eager on the day, is not so happy with her "nothing can my love erase": now he is the one afraid of discovery by "my lady". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brighton Rock (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
