You can find this classic rock ballad on Queen's album from 1975, 'A Night At The Opera.'

The inspiration for Freddie Mercury to write this song came from his longtime companion whom he had a special relationship with Mary Austin.

It's one of those songs that gained strong popularity, in fact; when Queen performed it in concert, Mercury hardly sang the words because the crowd did instead.

Brian May would pickup his 12-string guitar and play the song acoustically as Mercury and the audience sang the lyrics. Due to Freddie's vocal range, the song had an opera quality about it.
