Queen – Love of My Life (Live)

Love of My Life is a song from the album “A Night at the Opera”
Released: 1975
Video recorded in January 1985 at the Rock in Rio festival.

Mercury wrote it on the piano and guitar first, and May rearranged the song for acoustic 12-string guitar for live performances, also lowering the key by a minor third. May contributed occasional guitar phrases to the original recording and played the swooping harp glissandos by pasting together multiple takes of single chords.

Queen spent a month during the summer of 1975 rehearsing in a barn at what would become Ridge Farm Studio in Surrey. The group then had a three-week writing and rehearsing session in July in a rented house near Kington, Herefordshire before recording began. From August to September 1975 they began to record the song at Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire.

Introduced during the News of the World Tour in 1977, “Love of My Life” was such a concert favourite that Mercury would stop singing and would conduct the audience as they took over. It was especially well received during concerts in South America, and as a result, the band released the Live Killers version of the song as a single there.

Lyrics:

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 stolen my love, you now desert me
Love of my life, can’t you see?
Bring it back, bring it back (back)
Don’t take it away from me
Because you don’t know
What it means to me

Obrigado

You will remember
When this is blown over
Everything’s all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you (I still love you)

I still love you

Oh, hurry back, hurry back
Don’t take it away from me
Because you don’t know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life
Ooh, eh (alright).
