Love of my Life, last strophe live.

I've always asked me why Freddie decided not to sing the original last strophe that goes "please bring it back home to me" when singing LOML live.

I don't know if it has been discused here before since I'm new to this forums and the search feature doesn't seem to work.

Do you have any ideas about Freddie's decision?

He simply changed his mind about the lyrics after the recording, and preferred the new version instead.

I prefer the studio version.

I kinda think of the studio version and the live versions as two different songs! Its just such a different arrangement......they're both good in totally different ways......

Let me rephrase... I prefer the last strophe on the studio version. Otherwise I think the live version is way better!

I definitely prefer the studio version of the song overall (Freddie's solo harmonies are blissful), but like King of Rhye said, the two versions are vastly different things to be comparing. I like 'bring it back home to me' just because it creates more of a progression in the song than repeating the same line from earlier does - it also makes more sense with 'Back, hurry back'.

laziness about the proper lyric, I reckon.

I agree - I wish there had been at least one tour where Mercury performed it on piano.

I'm just wondering if I was the only one that had to look up the word 'strophe'! lol

LOL, not me, King, because "strophe" makes a lot of sense in Portuguese, as it is very similar "estrofe". I have to say I stopped for a moment and tried to remember if I had seen that word before. I believe you guys usually say "verse", right? Are they synonyms?

Cheers,

^^ Yeah, more or less........:)

Well, I'm peruvian and speak spanish so I tought strophe would sound just right.

I think I'm classy now. :P
