brilliant song. When people say "freddie was a underated piano player" look for the "millionare waltz" as proof. I don't think it's as brilliant as "bo rap" but it's pretty close.

So much happening... So many ideas in only 5 minutes, it's amazing!

Fenderek, you can always find the right words...I was racking my brains to say what you have summed up beautifully in one short sentence :-)...So many ideas in just one song, similarly to Bohemian Rhapsody, and certainly very much underrated in comparison.
It is so diverse in style, it inspires so many different moods, things unravel unexpected one after another: it is sweet, funny, nostalgic, melancholic, then happy again.... Fantastic!

And like many have said, the bass is extraordinary.

Well, Lester summed it up nicely. So, 'ditto' to Lester.
