If you ask me, this song is about someone dying and the song is written for their friends. I mean, it's so obvious, the first time I heard it, I was certain that's what it was about and it nearly made me cry! "So dear friends, your love has gone only tears to dwell upon." I mean that line, the opening alone is enough to give that impression. I think it's really sad, and kind of a tragic attempt of the deceased to communicate with their friends. Brilliant writing by Brian May and I loved Freddie's voice on this song.

@freddieismyqueen I have a faint memory of hearing this after a very long time and unexpectedly shedding a tear
