    • @lexsoft3969
      @lexsoft3969 Před 3 lety +1

      Exactly what I thought about similarity with the Beatles during 1:16-1:22. It sounds like The Beatles or Bee Gees song, but I don't remember the title of the song.
      Maybe "I Can See Nobody" of Bee Gees. As for the Beatles : Day Tripper ?
      Also during 1:44-1:50 it sounds like "Turn Turn Turn" by The Byrds, esp guitar play (12 strings ?) which was identical to Roger McGuinn of the band. Some parts also sounds a bit like "Mr. Tambourine Man" by The Byrds.
      Are Queen also inspired by The Byrds, including their vocal harmony, esp when David Crosby was still in the band ?

    This song helped me so much 3 yrs ago. It reminds me of my brother,. I had a lot going on back then and would listen to this contemplating ending my life. The lyrics alone comforted me, “hurry put your troubles in a suitcase, come let the new child play”. Every time I hear that my heart sinks, I think about the fact that I will never see the people I love grow with me. My baby brother was the only thing that was keeping me alive, I wanted to be there for him as he grew. Thank god I had this song, in 2019 I made some of the best memories. Of them being able to see the band itself, queen+ AL. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self that one day will be the day you were looking for, and it’s all going to be ok.

      Sometimes I'm really glad they don't play them. Because those mean incredibly much to me and I don't want them to get "destroyed" by konstant repeating. (Kind of happend to Bohemian Rhapsody for me; it's really difficult to avoid hearing it all the time when you watch tons of Queen interviews.) However, they'd obviously absolutely deserve to be played and I'd be happy for Brian if they were. (Also, poor people don't know what they're missing.)

Love this and You and I best from this album even though Somebody to Love, Tie Your Mother Down and Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy were the ones played on the radio back then. No bad song on the whole album, I'd say and rivals the glorious A Night at the Opera that was the album preceding it.

    I fell asleep listening to music and this song came on, I had the best sleep of my life. I dreamed that Brian was having a party for his birthday in a public place outside, it was daylight but it was all cloudy. Next to him was a long wooden table with a bag full of candies. I approached him, I gave him a chocolate bar as a gift and he took a lot of candies out of the bag and gave them to me, plus I wanted to take a picture with him, he agreed and didn't even ask. I stepped aside so that he could receive more people, I put my hands on my face and began to cry. I wish it had been more than a dream, but at least I got to meet him there and I'm not complaining.

I just hope that every soul has peace and love when they leave. Thank you Brian May for your wonderful song writing talent, that song actually helped me get over the very first loss of my life and I know this song so well now. Sadly, I this came to mind today but is also so pretty it transports me to a better place. That is the art of what you do, so once again thank you Sir Brian May.

    • @nerktwin
      @nerktwin Před 4 lety +2

      I believe that Good Company is very much inspired by McCartney and reminds me of Honey Pie and Paul's jazz roots. I know that Brian was very much inspired by the Beatles (and has a similar style to McCartney), which is probably why I love his music so much. He is a true poet.
