Love of My Life

My favourite all time band is Queen. Since first hearing them perform Bohemian Rhapsody on TOTP2 when I was ten years old, I have been addicted to their music.

Queen are a HUGE part in getting me through life. I listen to them when I'm feeling happy. I listen to them when I'm feeling sad. Their lyrics are so inspiring and it's not hard to see why they have a legion of dedicated fans.

Freddie Mercury was and is such a clever man. The songs he wrote could be easily adapted for different genres of music i.e. rock, pop and opera.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra have done covers of Queen and they do them absolutely brilliantly. One of my favourite orchestra covers is 'Love of my Life', which was first on the album 'A Night at the Opera' in 1975.

The first video is the Philharmonic Orchestra's version and the second is the original by Queen. 

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 heart and now desert 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

You will remember -
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way -
When I get older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you - I still love you

Hurry 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
