I was six when Freddie died, & ironically had never even heard of Queen, when it was announced he had died of his illness. I then realised that Queens music had been the background music to my life, what I heard blasting out of my elder brothers bedroom & suddenly, at six years old, it all clicked & i was hooked. I watched every tv program dedicated in Freddies' honour & as i grew older gradually bought the albums & then I heard this song, & I cried. It overpowered me, the beauty of the lyrics spoke to me & told me what Freddie had been going through & I couldn't believe how much this song called out to me. It made me understand how he felt inside & for this made me feel as though I knew this man, although at one point I never knew who he was.
