STU-Y---- BRIAN DID KNOW ANITA SINCE 1987 AND THE RUMOURS SAID HIS MARIAGE FAILED BECAUS HE HAD AN AFFAIR WITH HER (NEWSPAPERS)"Brian and Anita began a secret affair behind Chrissy's back before he eventually moved in with Anita in 1988." (mirror, sun, back in 1988)
AND GUESS WHAT TOO MUCH LOVE WILL KILL YOU IS ACTUALY WRITTEN IN 1987-1988...
The song had something to do with Brian's affair ... and some while ago some queen insider actualy admided that it had to do with the affair...

BEE-ny - it can't be specifically about Brian's marriage break up. He didn't write the lyrics - so it can't have been about his personal experience.... What he may have done is taken the sentiment of the song to fit his own experience - as John Stuart already said -
The lyricist is the only one who knows exactly what the song was about...and as it wasn't Brian - then it couldn't be about him!!!
one final point: It was an emotional love make/break song people who write songs like this write them because they have global appeal...think about all those beatles songs (for example)....LOVE ME DO, ALL MY LOVING, SHE LOVES YOU, ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE,
...all written in a similar vein but not ABOUT ANYONE in particular....that's what makes agreat love song

If you care, you'll see an interesting analisys about the development of the song. It seems like Brian May focused almost only on the music, not coming up with the lyrics.
ac this is wrong how many songs did he write ? lots...39, prophet, we will rock you and many more.....BEE-ny - it can't be specifically about Brian's marriage break up. He didn't write the lyrics -

Roger told in one of the early interview that "too much love will kill you" was Brian state of mind

> THe most likely thing is that the song was brought by Bri to them
And how can you prove that? Frank could have brought the oridinal idea as well, or Liz.
> The truth is, only Bri truely knows why he wrote it
Not because he didn't (completely) write it.
> He did NOT write "Only Make Believe", nor did he write "Slow Down" or "One Rainy Wish".
Exactly. Your point about the card is dead right. That's the magic of certain songs: they can be related to different people in different moments.
> Likewise, it is the same with Too Much Love. Brian contributed very little lyrically, but did compose the music.
Actually neither of those points can be assured. Frank & Liz were proffessional lyricists rather than proffessional musicians BUT it doesn't mean they couldn't compose music. And TMLWKY isn't complicated, theoretically, it could have been the one time Frank and/or Elizabeth wrote or co-wrote chords (maybe they knew some piano basics or whatever). Theoretically, nothing can be excluded ... yet.

Actualy your point is very well taken and I am jalouse at you because you found the right way to say it....
You see I lost my husband about 4 years ago and I tried hard to put my feelings in text, and I did but I got help from other ppl to put it in the correct way so it would sound better... they are co-writing, but the main feeling was mine...
But yes it is hard to have a knowledge about what realy happened, cause they are the only once to realy know about it...
What I do know (this is coming from an insider) is that TMLWKY was actual ment to be on the Album "The Miracle", but freddie thought at the time that the song was not complete and that some ad ons should be done... Also there where a few disagrements with Frank & Liz at the time...
....to be totally off topic, what was Brian's first wife's name? i just dont want to make another topic dedicated to just that, cuz that would waste space...
chrissy (but I don't know the full name)

BEE-ny - i still think you're NOT getting it
'written by' doesn't mean everyone wrote the lyrics and everyone wrote the music
early AC/DC songs were written by Young/Young/Scott
Angus and Malcolm Young wrote the music - and Bon Scott wrote the lyrics
please try and understand BRIAN DID NOT WRITE THE LYRICS
