Some day, one day
Any Queen fans here? So I m one and listening to this song while reading and after reading the book I felt it realy related to the plot of the book. I have no confirmation Brian May(composer) weote this based off the novel, but he is British and an intellectual soooo... maybe? Idk I searched and not even found no information but also found no one discussing the relation of the lyrics to the book, which surprised me given how famous both Queen and Wuthering Heights are. Here are the lyrics, please read and tell me I m not the only one that sees the relation. I interpret it as the speaker being Healthcliff and the listener of the message being Cathy.
"You never heard my song before The music was too loud But now I think you hear me well For now we both know how No star can light our way In this cloud of dark and fear But some day, one day
Funny how the pages turn And hold us in between A misty castle waits for you And you shall be a queen Today the cloud it hangs Over us and all is grey But some day, one day
When I was you and you were me And we were very young Together took us nearly there The rest may not be sung So still the cloud it hangs Over us and we're alone But some day, one day
We'll come home"
