Music Monday: Love Of My Life (Queen)

The weekend just flew by and it's time for my Music Monday post. I'm feeling blue and this song is just perfect. It's one of my fave songs from Queen.love



"Love of My Life" is a ballad from the album A Night at the Opera by English rock band Queen. Freddie Mercury wrote it on the piano and guitar first, Brian May rearranged the song for acoustic 12-string guitar to facilitate live performances.

May contributed occasional guitar phrases to the original recording and played the swooping harp glissandos by pasting together multiple takes of single chords. The song is a good example of Mercury's familiarity with rubato phrasing, showcasing his classical piano influences, notably by Chopin and Beethoven. ~ wikipedia
