    "Brian May has a PhD in Astrophysics, you know" (we know)

      EVERY song. So many amazing compositions. And for everyone, there is a "favorite" or "best" song. Even the later, mid-80's stuff. And when you get to Innuendo, well, every song on that album is also a "best" song. So, in the final analysis, EVERY QUEEN SONG IS THEIR BEST SONG!! This band had No Fillers. Even the Beatles, Queens main inspiration, had fillers. Zeppelin had fillers. Every band in the history of Rock had fillers, except this band. Don't know how they managed this.

    Freddie is the voice from heaven!! This song is on my playlist every morning - usually the first or 2nd song i play. but not this version - the Odeon concert version is sublime, hypnotic and just downright excruciatingly beautiful! I am still astounded every time i hear it to realize someone could sing so beautifully! I like this version too and i am learning while taking a tour through Queen's catalog and watching countless hours of concerts and videos that one of the incredible things about Queen was that they delivered us multiple versions of songs. They'd give us the studio recording and then in concert, Freddie would add some inflection or stretch out some notes or Brian would add a guitar riff and you'd have a "new" song that just blows you away. They did it with Save Me, Play the Game and many others. It's phenomenal and my level of amazement with this legendary band just continues to grow!!

    I would often make queen mix tapes. Half of them all ended with this. It was my closer. I sang this song the best I could ever since. This song ment a lot to me .
