A number of songs by Queen are my personal faves. However, "Long Away" takes the cake as being my ultimate fave. How this song did not become one of their greatest hits is beyond me...

[@grantbaechler3529]

When you have somebody to love on the album it kinda got pushed back. I agree 100% with you though

[@pech3617]

Well, STL is better than this song, and it’s the perfect radio song. Furthermore, STL was the first single and Long Away was much later in select countries.

[@pech3617]

Also I’d like to say this song is wonderful not to take anything away from the song what I just said. And yes, you are allowed to say that the popular songs are good, it’s not illegal to like hits. Like my second favourite queen song is ITLOTG...R which isn’t well known at all but Somebody to Love is better than Long Away idc it just is

[@ahmadfaizarmianosyah663]

It's a part of one of their best album, so it synthesized, with the other songs, A Day at The Races, being an album song, instead of a hit single.

[@gokceralp]

Except a small number of them, how didn't all Queen songs become a hit? I think that's the question :D

[@pederriki7819]

dedicate this one to my grandma, such a beautiful star in heaven!

[@alex.starostin]

This song is a real hidden gem in Queen's immense catalog of great music. So underrated. Yes it does sound like Beatles inspired but that's exactly what makes it special cause there isn't another Queen song quite like it

[@lexsoft3969]

Exactly what I thought about similarity with the Beatles during 1:16-1:22. It sounds like The Beatles or Bee Gees song, but I don't remember the title of the song. Maybe "I Can See Nobody" of Bee Gees. As for the Beatles : Day Tripper ? Also during 1:44-1:50 it sounds like "Turn Turn Turn" by The Byrds, esp guitar play (12 strings ?) which was identical to Roger McGuinn of the band. Some parts also sounds a bit like "Mr. Tambourine Man" by The Byrds. Are Queen also inspired by The Byrds, including their vocal harmony, esp when David Crosby was still in the band ?

[@timgrant6646]

John’s bass is incredible

[@generay6807]

Ya. I was digging his bass line. Such a great talent

[@binboy1312]

This song always makes me emotional. The lyrics in the second verse make me feel so soft idk how to explain it. Brian has the prettiest, sweetest voice, and he sounds so sincere and pure in this song. Nobody talks about this song, man. It needs more love.

[@m1co294]

"You might believe in heaven, I would not care to say; For every star in heaven, there's a sad soul here today" This line is one of my favorites

[@voioo]

This song helped me so much 3 yrs ago. It reminds me of my brother,. I had a lot going on back then and would listen to this contemplating ending my life. The lyrics alone comforted me, “hurry put your troubles in a suitcase, come let the new child play”. Every time I hear that my heart sinks, I think about the fact that I will never see the people I love grow with me. My baby brother was the only thing that was keeping me alive, I wanted to be there for him as he grew. Thank god I had this song, in 2019 I made some of the best memories. Of them being able to see the band itself, queen+ AL. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self that one day will be the day you were looking for, and it’s all going to be ok.

White Queen - About how he once fancied a girl at uni but was too shy to approach her. '39 - About astronauts going out to space and returning to Earth only to find out a hundred years have passed by and most of their loved ones had died. Save Me - About a friend whose marriage had ended. Long Away - About someone's passing.
