This is a song whose bass riff is used everywhere. But it's also a song that, if I truly stop and listen to it, will give me chills every time. It's probably because Bowie is now gone as well as Freddie. And this song has the distinction of being the song that introduced me to Bowie.

Some of Queen's music is really excellent!

And it is used all the time in various shows. So evocative as was both Queen and Bowie's music.
Didn't they just use it in THE AMERICANS?
It's a great song, kind of a companion piece to Bowie's "Heroes". Both are so compassionate.
