Editorial perspective

Friends Will Be Friends occupies position 5 in the identified A Kind of Magic programme. It follows Pain Is So Close To Pleasure. The next work is Who Wants To Live Forever. Read that placement alongside the album perspective: QueenOnline places the album in the band's relationship with Highlander, while the track list begins with One Vision. Our editorial route keeps the album and film contexts connected without pretending they are interchangeable editions. The member profiles give another route through the material: Roger Taylor's writing is documented for the title song and Brian May's for Who Wants to Live Forever. External media and commercial releases must be matched to the actual work or edition, rather than merely to the film's name.

The timing belongs to Friends Will Be Friends - Remastered 2011, not to every performance of this work.
