It’s said that this song originally belonged to Brian, but Freddie loved it so much that they ended up recording it with his vocals.

The song appears on Brian’s solo album as well, where it’s recorded with Brian’s vocals.

The theme—that love can sometimes hurt—may have resonated with Freddie’s feelings at the time.

I think Freddy’s outfit covered in eyeballs would be really gross for people who aren’t into that, but the amazing thing about a superstar is that they can still pull it off.

Saying that life is painful while also insisting that lovers must stay together sounds just like a dad’s lecture.
