Titolo: Ricordate quando cercavo l'email dei Queen...

...per il mio secondo romanzo?
Ecco la email che ho inviato a Brian (l'unico di cui ho trovato un indirizzo
email...)
Brian,
I'm Alessandro from Rome, Italy, a Queen fan since 1989.
I'm a would-be writer, my second novel has been completed some days ago, and
I'm looking for a publisher now.
And so, what about Queen?
Here we are. Being a Queen fan, I used some Queen obscure trivia in the
novels (the main character is seeing a movie about a love story, the reader
understands it's Highlander and so on...) and some less obscure things you
might be interested in.
In the beginning of each section of the two novels, I used a verse of some
songs' lyrics I love. I truly think that writing lyrics is a form of Art,
not less than writing novels, and I think Queen's lyrics are great! That's
why I choose verses from some Queen song to reveal the "spirit" of each
section. I wrote the song title, and the author (Queen).
I would know if I can use these bits of lyrics if the novels will be
published, and if I have to write the credited author's name i.e. Brian May
or just Queen.
Second problem, maybe more difficult.
In the second novel, there's a love story between the main character (a
writer, inspired by Stephen King's On writing book) and his old time girl.
The story last twelve months... One year of love, as you imagine.
I wrote the lyrics of OYOL, the John Deacon's song, translated in italian,
through the romantic story of the lovers... it's used as a comment (you can
read it at the end of this email), credited in the novel, such as "Years
later I heard a romantic song from Queen, OYOL, that describes a story..."
I really love that song, and many more of Queen's catalogue (My melancholy
blues, Love of my life, You take my breath away, Who wants to live forever,
just to name a few), so I'm here to ask you if I can use those lyrics.
I don't know John's email, but I would thank him and you all guys for this
song and the other masterpieces you penned.
Thank you for your attention.
Please let me know if there are problems to use those lyrics :-)
--the following is the OYOL section, in italian----------
La loro storia era durata un solo anno, a cavallo tra il 1983 e il 1984, ma
erano state le sensazioni più belle che Neil avesse mai vissuto. Quando nel
1986 aveva ascoltato una canzone dei Queen, dedicata ad Un anno d'amore,
aveva pianto. Non era immortale come gli highlander del film per il quale
era stata scritta, ma capiva bene il concetto di amore a termine.

Se volete sapere come continua, dovrete aspettare che me lo pubblichino
