   Summary

   The note soars—hopeful turned mournful. A dove spanning the sky. There are no lyrics, there's nothing left to say. Listen to my heart, I bled the notes, this is dangerous love. This is what happens, beware: heartbreak, redemption, heartbreak. Exercises in free love.

   A story of love and Freddie's last years.
