Let Me Live

Thoughts on this song? I've heard many people saying that it's mediocre; boring; cheesy; too long; overblown; among others. Well I'll admit I've always found it a bit too long (esp. those last two minutes or so, after the three main verses have been sung) and I think it'd have been just fine with some of that chopped off.

That aside though I've always really loved the song...the lyrics are quite straightforward (but great), the melody is nice, and the fact that Freddie, Roger *and* Brian all sing a verse is wonderful! Brian's verse in particular I love especially (for his singing, and for the lyrics).

yeah, it sure is one of my favourite songs! (i love to hear them all sing.....it`s a bit gospel-like!) Great song!

Well at first I hated it and I never played it. Then last year I bought Made in Heaven and it just ran onto it and I love dit. So I love it now.

I think Let Me Live was the last song Freddie recorded.

Tigerlily Taylor,

It's "a bit gospel-like" because there's a gospel choir (!!!) singing it.

I love it. I've loved it from the start... One of the songs that kinda holds the Made in heaven album up and together.

there's no Gospel Choir singing on Let Me Live, just some additional background singers ...that's all!

I love it!!! Roger sounds very mature and his voice is more beautiful!

Indeed, I do like this song very much. In fact, I wonder if Niek would like to say anything on this one. Hee hee! Sorry dude, I couldn't resist.

Peace,
Adam.

wasn t it recorded 1983 with rod stewart?

It would be great to hear it live with Paul/Roger/Brian singing, and the part of the chorus sung by the audience and the band...

It had to be an American to say something like that. Figures. Are my fellow countrymen ever going to shaming me? lol

BLOODY HELL! I think that is the only non-insulting remarke you have made today! prick...

Let Me Live (although no gospel choir on it) is recorded with a gospel feel to it

i have always considered it Freddie's
Somebody To Love (part 2)

I love Let me Live because it's positive and up-beat- it could have been written in the seventies it has the sound of an early Queen songs with Fred's wonderful piano playing-I love th elittle outro at the end. Superb.
