I think that the song is nice in this way, the outro is so emotional, but i prefer that this track ends the album

That isn't the David R. Fuller (:/) mix?[/QUOTE]
Yes.
I didnt knew it was his mix until now. I got it a lot of years ago while downloading some bootlegs.
I had to browse youtube to know if you were talking about the same mix, lol[/QUOTE]
The alternate ending he used was taken from The Eye though, right?[/QUOTE]
That's right. The Eye version its instrumental... You just can hear how powerful the music is...

I actually love it.. sadly it let me experience the loss and "finality" of it though it may seemingly espouse a rejuvenation and rebirth.
When MY LIFE HAS BEEN SAVED comes, I feel as a listener that I haven't lost a beat.
It's really an artistic DEDICATION to the brother they left behind. It can't be explained any other way.
The decision may have been made at the last hour
Who knows.
That's something to ask Brian on his soapbox about.
After all, they did collectively agree to the final issue.
The album was absolutely beautiful and stunning to me on a first listen in spite of having heard the Freddie tracks solo.
It's a warm (indoors) album full of spirit story and solace.
I think they did a BEAUTIFUL job of the album.
That's why it ranks higher than even some of the 70's albums in my heart.
It's beautiful.
Imagine "You don't fool me" in any other order. .. And it won't work. Somehow they really worked their asses off or either had a beautiful time.
THAT album is transcendent for me.
From the cover to the content and back out again....Made In Heaven is phenomenal.
Perfect.

One thing that bothers me; For the dedicated is the fact that the Wikipedia page states merely that the completion of track 13 was interesting. It DOES NOT touch upon really expressed reasonings in length and content toward the then 20 some odd years of QUEEN as a band.
I'm looking at the wizard or Inu.... someone fix this category up WITH QUOTES. .. THEY'RE ON THE NET. ... The last track of MIH was built in mind with regard to their career.
Please someone. Fix the entry and allow any serious future viewer to understand the information subsequently shared regarding it's "purpose"
Please.
With a Fanship this great. You'd think that the Wikipedia articles would source you guys and articles before it sounded like random he said she said.
For future reference. take screen shots!

I always found the outro tasteful. But I like "Track 13" too.

The MIH album is absolutely perfect in in every way. It is one of the best Queen albums ever made, circumstances notwithstanding. Its flow is flawless, and every single creative and artistic decision was made with love and care. I cannot possibly imagine how emotionally challenging this was for Bri, Rog and John to complete.
I really have nothing to add here. Everything that needs to be said has been said.

without the outro ML sounds like an incomplete demo. In fact - if you take it in the context of how the whole album was made
the outro is the very essence of the finished song.

Really? While they sure pulled it of nicely production wise, I can't think of any real ace tracks from that album. I thought it was common consensus that it's one of their weaker albums songwriting-wise.

The process to make a song is very difficult, lyrics are changed, adjusted, discarded, etc...
And then you have Queen that HAD to do SOMETHING as good as their older material with the few bits Freddie recorded, without changing the lyrics, without Freddie's input (1/4 of the band's input) without being able to change Freddie's parts to explore another ways to make every single song work. And yet, they managed to get an album which was difficult on every level.
They had to work with the resources they had at hand.
I wonder how many artists managed to release an album as good as MIH, under the circumstances Queen faced.

Personally I prefer the 'Back in Black' approach rather than the sentimentality of MiH.

But that's just the thing - some of the best albums aren't "song" albums. That's why they're albums.
That said - nearly every track on side B stands well on its own.

Yeah, me too. And fortunately Queen did a few of those as well.

Back In Black was released right after Bon Scott's passing - so I think what Holly means is that he prefers the Back In Black approach for grieving over a former band member's death, over the sentimentality of MiH.

I never like the outro, and know some people who worked in the album who doesn't like it, but...I can't say his names!!!!
It was a decission of the band (perhaps Brian? only specullation) and that's all.

I don't like it; it feels like someone is forcing us to associate the song with Freddie, rather than leaving it ambiguous and open to interpretation. It wasn't written by Freddie, and may not even have originally been written about Freddie (only Brian could answer that question), but the outro really lays the pathos on with a trowel. That's one of the things that makes me think it may have started out as a song about something else, or inspired by something else, and been adapted post-production, or during the recording process to apply to the circumstances at that time. When the singer of a band is dying during recording, it's pretty difficult for material not to 'become' about death on some level, and I think that there was an element of 'milking' that, post-production (and fair enough - it was an extraordinary event, and deserved to be milked!) Personally, I think the outro on Mother Love went too far. Cheesy rather than really bad taste, but still too far. For me. And I don't think it's such a great song, really. Without the overt links to Freddie dying, I don't think it would have been particularly memorable. Again, that's just me.
