Share a song that feels like coming home after a long trip.

I've carried this song with me since I was 10 years old, discovered on the LP A Night At The Opera, and written by bass player John Deacon, it's always been a quiet friend of a track. The type that is easily skipped, you'd think, but I rarely do.

My wife will make a fuss if I say too much but we've both said this to each other since, virtually, the day we became a 'thing'. She is my best friend. She makes me live. I don't really like being away from her too long (as it happens I was away last night on my own) and the gentle love that this song holds matches how I feel about her. She is home.
