Quotes related to 'Pain Is So Close To Pleasure' from 'A Kind Of Magic' album

There's a song called "Pain Is So Close To Pleasure" which I started off, and I think again John and Freddie worked together on it. That's really sort of a motown sounding track, very unusual for us.

Brian May; A Kind Of Magic, published by Tabak Marketing Limited, 1990 #

This album [A Kind of Magic] also furnished another of the band's crowd-pleasing anthems, namely Friends Will Be Friends. The co-composition credit on this track and on Pain Is So Close To Pleasure was merely because John Deacon insisted that Freddie's contribution be recognised and acknowledged. John's honesty and integrity would not have allowed him to do otherwise.
