The Struts have joined forces with none other than Brian May for a reimagined version of Could Have Been Me.
The 2013 rock’n’roll banger – taken from their debut album Everybody Wants, which was released the following year – now features the Queen icon, who is, unsurprisingly, a huge fan of the band.
“Working with Luke [Spiller, frontman] and The Struts has been a joyous journey for me,” enthuses Brian. “I became obsessed with this great song ever since I was inspired by the original version and felt an uncontrollable urge to mess with it! It carries a great positive message for rebellious kids of all ages. And, together, we rock!”
An ”ecstatic” Luke adds that, “This song is all about seizing your dreams and living life to the fullest, no matter the obstacles. It’s a powerful anthem that reminds us to chase what sets our souls on fire.
“Collaborating with Brian on this track is a dream realised, and I can’t wait for you all to feel the energy and inspiration behind it. Hopefully, this song will go on to inspire many more people to take life by the scruff of the neck and drink it down deeply! Every day is a gift. Let’s celebrate them together.”
