Keep Passing The Open Windows Lyrics
It looks like a anti-suicide song.
The phrase "Just Keep Passing The Open Windows" is an important line from the book "The Hotel New Hampshire". Queen wanted to make a soundtrack for the film of the same name, but as their own album (The Works) was too time-consuming, they decided to stop the soundtrack-work. Keep Passing The Open Window is one of the songs that were written for the film.
love it loads!!! great feel, u dnt get songs like this anymore! xxxxx
'Do you know how it feels when you don't have a friend Without a job and no money to spend?' yep Freddie I've been there. This song really cheers me up when I'm lonely and could be anti-suicide i.e. 'just keep passing the open windows'= don't jump out of 'em!
once i figured out what this song meant i became on my regular rotation of queen songs. It really does the trick when i am blue.
It's also a recurrent line in The Hotel new Hampshire By John Irving, so maybe one of them is a fan?
It would be quite a coincidence if the band and the author both came up with that same theme. After finding out that the album is newer than the book, I'd be surprised if it wasnt taken from Hotel New Hampshire.
This song always brings to mind Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out" (which by the way , came out few years earlier)
