Re-posting and again dedicating to a certain someone here!

A Night at the Opera by that perennial pinnacle of pure awesomeness, Queen, is perhaps my favourite album of all time--it is at very least in my top five. From the exuberantly amazing British-music-hall romp of "Seaside Rendezvous" to the breathtaking and cathartic "Bohemian Rhapsody"; from the scathing "Death on Two Legs" to the the ethereal folk/skiffle of "'39," the album is exemplary, shifting mood and genre with every track yet remaining fluid and beautiful. Even the ostensible filler, like "Good Company," is still wonderful. It showcases a truly unique and truly talented back at very top form. From the opening rolling piano crescendo to the final majestic cymbal crashes, the album is absolutely beautiful--but perhaps even more than that, I think its greatest strength may be what is also one of Queen's greatest strengths: the music is so much fun.

This track, "You're My Best Friend," is undoubtedly one of the simplest but sweetest love songs of the twentieth century. Written by bassist John Deacon for his wife and sung with passion by the ever-divine voice of Freddie Mercury, the song is an exuberant reflection of affection and friendship for a dear love.

It is awesome and adorable and I love it. And I dedicate this entry to a certain beautiful girl who also happens to be a member here. ^^

 

Ooo, you make me live

Whatever this world can give to me

It's you; you're all I see

Ooo, you make me live now, honey

Ooo, you make me live

 

You're the best friend

That I've ever had

I've been with you such a long time

You're my sunshine

And I want you to know that my feelings are true

I really love you

Oh, you're my best friend

 

Ooo, you make me live

I've been wandering 'round

But I still come back to you

In rain or shine you've stood by me girl

I'm happy at home

You're my best friend.

 

You're the first one

When things turn out bad

You know I'll never be lonely

You're my only one, and I love the things--

I really love the things that you do

You're my best friend

 

Ooo, you make me live

I'm happy (happy at home)

You're my best friend

Oh, You're my best friend

Ooo, you make me live

Ooo, you're my best friend.
