This is another song that would be in contention for my favourite by Queen. An aspect of their music that often gets overlooked is the quality of their lyrics, and this is no exception. It's one of the best descriptions of loneliness I've ever heard in a song, and typically, it's easy to miss the true intent of the lyrics disguised as they are by the relentlessly up tempo music. I love songs that can pull off that contrast.
"Somebody To Love" has seen something of a renaissance recently through it's place as one of the most popular Glee covers.
It peaked at #2 in the UK and #13 on the Hot 100.

Love it. It has a real soul quality to it, and the harmonies are great as usual.

Apart from "Bohemian Rhapsody" I consider this song to be my favorite from Queen, I absolutely adore these sentimental lyrics and their vocal harmonies, Everything about this Power Ballad is amazing and I just adore this Classic Rock song with all of my heart. This song also just has that timeless quality to it, No matter how many times I have listened to this I never get tired of hearing it!

This Queen is my new favorite reactor, and her reaction to "STL" is terrific:
