Well, another one question for Queen experts is: all Queen songs since 'The Miracle' album contributed to Queen, although about some ones we can exactly say who wrote this or that song, even 'Let Me Live' which is coming from 'The Works' era, but released much later than 'The Miracle' and because of it stated as 'Queen', but - why does 'Mother Love' then contributes to Brian and Freddie, but not 'Queen'?

A very good question indeed. I'd say, just listen to the song... there is very little John and Roger there in the first place! It seems to be a Brian creation with Freddie's last vocal on it. I'm sure Roger and John didn't mind that their names weren't tagged onto a track they had little to no input on.
I think i read somewhere that this was one of the few songs freddie and brian wrote together, and it took a long time to do because it was done when fredie was very ill
Sir GH - I am really not sure that Freddie have a lot of works with 'Hijack My Heart' or 'Lost Opportunity', but they does not contributes to Roger and Brian...
It was the last ever recorded Freddie's song (from the released ones), during some summer/autumn 1991 sessions, I guess.

Roger and John hardly did aything in Bijou, for instance, but it`s still credited to the band. So no idea about the Mother Love credit.
As for the song, lyrics are by Freddie (except for the last verse), based on the fact there`s a manuscript by him (and considering how ill he was, I don`t think Brian came up with the lyrics and put Fred to write them as a secretary)

Well, so I gotta ask Jacky, if she knows.

Good point.
Well, Jacky didn't answer it, so my last hope is... Brian May! Let's try, maybe stars would be lucky for me :)
Here's my view Brian has gone on record saying that he was furiously writing lyrics for Freddie to sing durung the last sessions. It is essentially a Brian May song more so when you consider he sung the last verse.
Sebastian I don't want to start another aguement but your opinion cannot be taken seriously when you still say that John sang on Queen records through second-hand sources and dubious quotes. For the very last time John NEVER sang on any Queen record. Although I think he played bass.
I'm off to London now so I'll see you next week.

May/Mercury, eh? Just like Lennon/MacCartney.

I believe it was Lennon/DuBois, or any other common misspelling of McCartney you can muster.

that made me laugh
>Brian has gone on record saying that he was furiously writing lyrics for Freddie to sing durung the last sessions.
He also said he remembers Mother Love as the best collaboration he had with Freddie, along with when they wrote a verse of Show Must Go On.

In which part of this thread did I say that? could it BE any more out of context?
> through second-hand sources
Which exactly?
> and dubious quotes.
They`re such as dubious or strong as any other.

If you know how to use a mouse, you can click in the link in my signature and enter my site. If you know how to look, please tell me in which part of it I say John sings. I don`t say (in the website) that he does, neither I say he doesn`t. I THINK he did, but I don`t have anything mentioning that in my current site. Again, could it be any more out of context?

No, that's Mitchell/DuBois.
I'll be amazed if anyone here gets that one.
Hey, I always thought it was all written by Freddie except for that last verse?
