I remember when this song was released. I could barely listen to it because it was so emotional. I loved it though. The melody, the singing, the harmonies, the piano. Everything! To me this is a full blooded Queen song with all the Queen elements in it. Its not only a Queen song to me, its one of the best.
I recently heard a version of the song from the WWRY musical. It became appearent to me that the song has great qualities melodywise.
What do you think of this song?

I like it. Great tribute to Freddie.
People hear what they want to hear. I wanted more Queen, and that's what I heard. For me, it's as Queen as you can get without Freddie bursting out of a coffin.
Some folks don't consider it a real Queen song, and that's fair enough.

It's as much a Queen song as, say, Sleeping On The Sidewalk, Good Company, Fight From The Inside....
Those (as far as I recall) don't feature Freddie when they could have done.
Actually, does John play on Fight Fom The Inside either???)

I don't consider it a Queen song. But I do consider it better than any Queen song.
it's definitely Queen imo
Brilliant song, I get very emotional when I listen to it alone. And yes, of course it's a Queen song, I think the saddest one to perform for Roger, Brian & John. Probably that's the song that they would never like to sing ever, I don't know if you know what I mean
I know what you mean mate. But they do sing it from time to time :)
Amazing song. Most definitely a Queen song - you can say the same about the stuff on MIH because most of the new bits weren't recorded with Freddie there I guess. Roger / Brian and John are most definitely "Queen" anyway.
NOBY is one of the best songs Queen have ever done.

I agree that this is a fantastic Queen song about Freddie, and with a marvellous video with beautifully matched footage elements with Freddie. Although, i consider it as a tribute to Freddie, not a "Queen song", you know, but "QUeen song for Freddie".
Great song I'd say it was there way of saying goodbye to a great friend dont matter if its a Queen song or not but I'd say yes it is since there were all 3 real members.
Absolutely.
