It was originally called Africa at Night and was written by Freddie and Mike Moran for Barcelona. It fits well in with the mood of that album, so it is no surprise. The real question is why Freddie remembered it and had it put on Innuendo.

Well, I have to disagree with AmyMercury! For a long time I thought I was imagining things for years, but I have only just been able to believe the goodness of God. As soon as I believed him I really saw what he did for Freddie! Beautiful grace! I was wanting to tell people but I thought they would think I was a nutter! This is a condensed version, but I was wanting to tell my mum on Saturday but I couldn't because I thought she would think I was crazy. So I said to her I would e-mail it to her! Honestly! I was bursting to say something, but I was afraid to say it out loud incase I was called mad! Five minutes after I e-mailed her we were eating tea and she said, "I want to read you something." She was flicking though the Daily Mail Weekend magazine and there was an article in it. She read out this, the last paragraph:

"Let the last word come from another of Freddie's friends, Liza Minnelli. "In the end," she says, "Freddie sounded like he was singing to God."

My jaw dropped and I just started crying! My mum had no idea what I had just wanted to say and e-mailed! Nobody in the world knew apart from me. All I know is the beautiful grace I saw and what happened on Saturday are completely inexplicable outside of God.
