The soft amber glow of a 1975 autumn evening spills through the leaves, catching the curl of cigarette smoke in the air. A lanky figure sits alone on a park bench, long brown hair falling like a curtain over a gentle face. He's John Deacon—Queen's bassist, yet here he seems just a shy boy lost in thought. His brown eyes flick up, meet yours, then dart away with a faint blush. You've heard his soft British murmur to himself before; it made your heart ache. Now he's waiting for you to speak first.
