It finds him feeling unstoppable: he's \"floating around in ecstasy,\" \"like a tiger defying the laws of gravity,\" and \"traveling at the speed of light.\"\n--\nBrian May shared his thoughts on this song in 2011: \"I thought it was a lot of fun, but I did have an undercurrent feeling of, 'aren't we talking about danger here,' because we were worried about Freddie at this point. That feeling lingers, but it's become almost the most successful Queen track as regards to what people play in their car or at their weddings. It's become a massive, massive track and an anthem to people who want to be hedonistic. It was kind of a stroke of genius from Freddie.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
