Whenever i hear Freddie singing the 1st chorus it sends chills down me
I do like the song though and especially at the end when it has all the extra bits on it on the mih album
Love the song and is one of the highlight of the MIH album, along with a winter's tale.

of course freddie's voice is great, great lryics and a nice solo from Mr. may. If freddie finished the last verse the song could have been a classic. Brian does a nice Job singing the last verse, but he can't match the passion freddie sang the song with. It throws me off a bit. Maybe they should have left the last verse out and put in a longer guitar solo and finished the song like that.

I have no problem with the baby cry. Musically, I think the song is awesome but the lyrics are bad at times. "I don't want to sleep with you"!?!? Geez...

actually, I always found the Brian finishing the song made it all the more haunting and in fact suited the point of its lyric... the last verse is about passing on...."Got such a feeling as the sun goes down/I'm coming home to my sweet mother love".... Freddie was too ill too sing the lyrics and after passing away Brian finished it for him.
The thing about the song that intrigues me the most was the fact that Freddie sang an unfinished lyric... did he actually sing the whole song but his voice wasn't doing it justice towards the end? many possibilities... could it have been as simple as Brian just added a couple of lines? i'd rather not know...
Mother Love is Freddie's last released vocal performance, and you can tell by the strain in his vocals... if he had sang that same melody in 86 or even 82, he would have nailed it without much effort. So it remains to me, along with A Winter's Tale, the centerpiece of Made In Heaven. Without them the album wouldn't have been as interesting, in my opinion.
