I always think of "Teo Torriate" when I think of this song. When Queen wrote the aforementioned they were on a high of success in Japan. As the band got older their success in latin american countries exploded.
It was only a matter of time before they
So, how is the song? Is it as good as "Teo"?
It's flourishy and big. After the swelling intro, Freddie comes in with a tender verse which bursts into the chorus, a gently anthemic piece underscored by an acoustic guitar.
I'm disappointed by the instrumental break as it's not as exciting as I would have hoped. Laden with synths and almost ambient string sounds, it cascades around itself and lands in the lap of another verse.
These sounds re-emerge at the extended coda and the band seems to be enjoying the grandiosity.
The star here is the chorus and Brian's occasional guitar touches. It's a gentle song. They've done this better, but they are right at home here.
Grade: B
