Before the drug Ecstacy was available, the word meant “An intense exaltation of mind and feelings, rapture, overpowering emotions of joy and adoration”. Floating around in ecstasy meant he loved life. This was the studio version of the song, they just made the video look like they’re singing live, so Freddie wasn’t really playing the piano one handed. A scientific study was done on the uplifting effects of music and this song was found to be the most effective at making you feel good.

Just an FYI Brian May the guitarist made that guitar from scratch with his dad he called it the 'red special'. This from Wikipedia ( yes I know wiki but it hasn't been edited) - The Red Special is the electric guitar designed and built by Queen's guitarist Brian May and his father, Harold, when Brian was a teenager in the early 1960s.[1][2] The Red Special is sometimes referred to as the Fireplace or the Old Lady by May and by others.[3] The name Red Special came from the reddish-brown colour the guitar attained after being stained and painted with numerous layers of Rustins Plastic Coating.[4] The name Fireplace is a reference to the fact that the wood used to make the neck came from a fireplace mantel.[2] and Brian still plays that guitar today.

Ok sweetpwa-quick Queen rundown. Guitarist-now Dr Sir Brian May,one of a kind guitar-named the red special,was made by Brian and his father out of 200 yr old fireplace mantle,some stiff out of his Mum's sewing box,along with one of her knitting needles comprise guitar. Drummer is Roger Taylor-in Freddie's words,he could get to dog whistle pitch falsetto. He's the 1 doing all the Galleleo bits with Freddie. Then you have John Deacon,possibly the most under rated bass players I know of John was very shy,quiet and reserved and tried to stay out of the spotlight. Freddie took him under his wing as the new kid and as John said,Freddie was the only 1 who could draw him out of his shell. He became John's voice and shield on stage. That's why he refuses to play anymore and lives the life of a recluse.

These "Live" videos weren't new. That was actually the norm before Queen. It's not live, but instead a lip synced performance displayed as a music video. They actually popularised the more theatrical production-type music video in 1975 with Bohemian Rhapsody. Before then, just about every music video was like this; the band or artist performing on stage, sometimes with or without an audience, and playing to the studio recording. The thing about Bohemian Rhapsody was that it wasn't just a few takes of them performing and edited together. It was an entire concept of imagery edited to fit the music and be it's own production. I'd highly recommend watching that video. You did the live version but the video and studio version are MUSTS!

He eventually found a man to love and was with him until he died. He left most of his fortune to Mary because he always thought of her as his wife.
