Queen - Love of My Life
Queen
Love of My Life
Freddie Mercury
“Love of My Life” is one of Mercury’s most covered songs (there have been versions by many acts like Extreme featuring Brian May, Scorpions and Elaine Paige). Mercury played piano (including a classical solo) and did all of the vocals with startling multi-tracking precision. Brian May played harp (doing it chord by chord and pasting the takes to form the entire part), Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar (which he’d bought in Japan) and his usual Red Special.
“Love of My Life” was such a concert favourite that Mercury frequently stopped singing and allowed the audience to take over. It was especially well received during concerts in South America, and the band released the song as a single there. When Queen and Paul Rodgers performed the song (specifically Brian solo) he sang almost none of the words and let the audience sing it all, continuing the tradition.
Love of my life - you’ve hurt me
You’ve broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life can’t you see
Bring it back, bring it back
Don’t take it away from me, because you don’t know
What it means to me
Love of my life don’t leave me
You’ve taken my love, (all of my love) and now desert me
Love of my life can’t you see
(Please bring it back) bring it back, bring it back (back)
Don’t take it away from me (take it away from me)
Because you don’t know (ooh ooh ooh know means to me)
What it means to me
Who will remember
When this is blown over
And everything’s all by the way - (ooh yeah)
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you - (i still love you)
Ooh, back - hurry back
Please bring it back home to me
Because you don’t know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life
Ooh, ooh

I fell in love with Queen and Freddie’s work back high school (1998)when I did a research project about music and since then I’ve been hooked to their music. Too bad the leader of the band passed to soon but he left the best lyrics ever and got away with the weirdest combination that made him unique and that no one will be able to achieve!! Even my daughter that is 7 years old enjoys his work like we will rock you, somebody to love and we are the champions among others

i love what you said and theyre are still some souls who choose to love no matter how broken and burned but in this time of living the majority vote is for those who choose to kill others not literally but kill them from the inside out and that is what most people choose to do whether they agree with what they do or not but i love to love i love that you obviously do and shared it for me to know thx.
