Queen, in my opinion, is the only band in the world that had four equal members in terms of songwriting. John Deacon, who wrote this song, is the most underrated of the group and don´t tell me this isn´t one of the most beautiful melodies you´ve ever heard.

[@123zboom]

+Angeee017 Stop with the underrated thing, you can see this on any video of band selling millions, no member of Queen was underrated.

[@jackharris6497]

+Angeee017 i would disagree that he was the most underrated he did write two of their largest hits.

[@chongking3405]

+Angeee017 yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes. couldnt agree more.

[@ElTchibo1]

+123zboom I think you did not understand right what Angeee017 did say. For him/her, for me, for you and for all other hard Queen fans Deacon was/is and will ever be one of four. Allways same big part like Mercury, May and Taylor. That is clear. I mean she/he gives as a realistic sight how much other peoples or journalist - NOT hardcore Queen fans - of the world they see Queen: they see the big voice of Mercury, they see the big riffs of May and the power of Taylor. But must see Deacon only in his shadow and think he is not so important. That this is a fail we know it.

[@FreshCreativeFrog25]

John Deacon is a genius! The first time I heard this song, I’m not kidding, I teared up the moment I heard the first verse of lyrics! That was crazy to me! I’ve never had such a random, immediate and sudden reaction to a song like that before... Just a beautiful piece.....The lyrics are so relatable to anyone who has a dream, big or small, but is always told “no” by most of those around them, or even by society in general. The lines “he spends his evenings alone in his hotel room, keeping his thoughts to himself,” made me really start crying! I graduated high school last year and took a year off to try and figure myself out and what I wanted to... just DO, and every day I sat alone at home (parents working, sibling still goes to grade school, friends going to university... I could have worked but decided not to) dreaming of what I want to be... what I want to change and what I want to leave behind; and I keep those thoughts, those plans, all to myself. What makes it tough is when everyone else around me seems to be aiming for/ encouraging me to aim for that “emerald bar” and that’s 100% awesome if that’s what they want or if that’s what makes them happy and satisfied, but I guess the need to shoot higher is both a blessing and a curse. And it’s hard, sometimes daunting to allow yourself to really think *freely* , because people will doubt and will question if you REALLY have said “ambition,” but we just need to spread these little wings and fly! Show them all wether it’s big or small! Beautiful, meaningful and honest lyrics by John, delivered by Freddie’s amazing voice combined with such a beautiful melody by the best band ever. Gosh, I love Queen! ❤️ (I never type comments this long but I just had to for this one!)

[@PhebusdesTours]

Ha I feel you so much, mate! I'm a bit in the same case, thinking freely is a big deal. Sometimes I wonder if John put some of his own story in this song. I think many people can relate! And yes, Deacy's the man :-)

[@ggh6572]

Couldn't agree more. This song is so beautiful and relateable.

This is a legendary song written by the incredible John Deacon. As an introvert who is still being bullied in school, I really relate to John. I believe that introverts have a special power, John showed it to us. And it hurts so much that when the shy man wanted a break from all of these, people wasn't able to respect his decision. I think that if those people can just see the world through John's perspective, they will understand how shy introverts feel. We all love John Deacon, don't we? Thank you so much for reading.

I love this song, always have. I used to play it over and over in 1978. I thought I was the only one who rated it. It spoke to me - Doing very boring jobs, not being happy and wondering what to do next. I was 19 years old. Well, I'm still here, and great songs like this certainly aided the journey... Thanks Queen
