This song is really beautiful and deserves to be played more. It is easily my favorite Queen song and, I think, it stands out above just about everything else they ever did. It is on NEWS OF THE WORLD and I can remember borrowing it from my middle school library when I was a kid and being stunned by the sad beauty of this track. Whoever the song is actually about, I think it can be personalized by just about anyone who ever loved a girl or a woman who has since died. I am not a terribly sentimental person but this song really tugs at my soul.
