00:02:09 - Reviewing the musical history of Queen is a true delight, that conclusion is reached after listening to the complete discography recorded by Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger

00:02:18 - Taylor and John Deacon.

00:02:23 - His last stage was known, but his beginnings were better and Day Eye the Races belongs to this part of his history.

00:02:29 - Thus, a day at the races was conceived to maintain an ascending level of the band, even the title is a nod or reference to the successful previous album, entitled the night at the opera.

00:02:43 - A Day at the Races, was the first album produced entirely by Queen, after co-producing the first four with Roy Thomas Baker.

00:02:51 - There are elementary works of piano, guitar and acoustic bass that give a favorable impression, not to mention the marked use of Brian May's Red Special and the use of already classic patterns.

00:03:07 - This song is about Scotsman John Reed, Queen's manager at the time.

00:03:12 - Openly gay, he also managed Elton John and had a long relationship with him.

00:03:16 - He was, according to Brian May, an enthusiastic character, who helped manage the band at a difficult time, when Queen were in serious financial trouble at the time, they had sold a lot of records but received little money.

00:03:30 - Brian May in Q Magazine, in March 2008, said of this song, This was our greatest musical excess.

00:03:37 - It's full of Baroque life and makes Bohemian Rhapsody look easy.

00:03:49 - In the lyrics, Mercury points out that he will feel like a millionaire, as long as the person he loves is there.

00:03:55 - Deacon's bass also stands out, which we can hear accompanying Freddy's piano from the beginning of the song.

00:04:01 - Brian May tells us how he managed to achieve the particular sound that his guitar has.

because it has a particular sound and feel I found when I was learning that I was using soft picks to begin with and I gradually like them harder and harder because I like to feel what was happening at the string in my fingers and eventually I thought well I don't want it to bend at all I want it to be completely rigid I just picked up a sixpence and it worked for me and it just fitted in my hand nice it also has a bonus because if you turn it sideways at an angle to the strings you get this serrated edge which which makes a kind of sound, a sort of articulated sound.

00:04:38 - So it's like having consonants in your speech because I always regard the guitar as a voice.

00:04:44 - How long I've wanted
