Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2019)

Where to start? Along with the dated synthesiser stuff that might put off younger people, Queen produced genuinely timeless classics with a genius playing a guitar that he built with his dad, a flamboyant Iranian man with a stupendous voice, and moments of lyrical brilliance that deserve more recognition. Some lesser known songs like 'Love of my life' are subtly beautiful and barely remembered. A rock band that can produce piano ballads like is not really a rock band; they're composers. Seeing Freddie sat at the piano composing was incredible. I couldn't sleep after watching it and stayed up late singing along to my favourite songs. What does that tell you?
