I heard this song for the first time on a Queen Live Concert Video from 1986...it was cowritten by Freddie Mercury and John Deacon. It was a minor hit in the UK that year and included in the final Queen Tour to feature the immortal Freddie Mercury as front man and lead vocalist.

I loved it the first time I heard it, but over time I've been moved by the fact that Freddie was not far from learning that he was suffering from AIDS, and I can't help but think how important it was to lean on friends in his remaining years for "care and attention".

Here we are now in the COVID-19 crisis, with social unrest due to long term racial injustice, and a deeply divided American public over long standing cultural and political issues. I just felt that this song offered a really good message for these challenging times. Love and light to you all.
