Is Love of My Life the most beautiful song Queen ever produced? Arguably. It’s definitely up there. It somehow become a stadium anthem, especially in South America.
A pretty piano. An acoustic guitar. A harp. It’s treacly and yet it works.
Expanding on the love-abandoned theme of Nevermore, the singer basically begs to have love returned that once was. It probably won’t. But Freddie’s earnest devotion tugs at your heart and that simple Red Special solo coupled with that crescendoing piano, exploding into a climax of pain, with the requisite multi-Freddie backing vox make this one one of the band’s best ever.
