A very good version! Tasty. Full of "air". It's like taking a deep breath have a menthol chewie in the mouth. I like the bass. It's compressed in typical "Country & Western" style. It updates the song IMO. The middle harmonies - Fantastic!!!
This song has some very high harmonies...used the old pliers i suppose... ;)
Cheers,

Okay, big edit on this post... forget what I wrote a bit ago if you already read it.
First, thanks Adam Steen for the compliments. I really appreciate the kind words.
Second, love of my life... I'm going to post it without the harp. I don't think it's worth holding the whole song up for what might be a very poor sounding harp anyway (samples, you know).
Anyway, Adam B was kind enough to send me a good sounding piano sample. My only real beef with LOML is that I sang the vocal too intimate and you can hear little pops and such from my mouth! If they were a bit quieter it would add character but it's driving me crazy. However, I'm not going to re-record the vocal at this point. I think the mix is pretty good right now.
Without further ado (or excuses):

And yes, yes, I know the vocal is slightly out of tune in a couple spots.

No worries, no apology necessary. Just listen if you want, if not it's okay!
I'm just a nobody who likes performing Queen tunes in my little home studio.

It's a little late now, but I find that when I want a good harp sound, I just start talking about a memorable anecdote from my past, and before you know it I'm having a Flashback. Harp sounds. Wobbly lense effects. BAM!
I like it man! Crap... I wish I had decent equipment to record a quality sounding song like this. What all do you use? Later bro.

@tenchijin2: you have a very nice voice :) do you have singing lessons?
No, I have not taken singing lessons. Trained singers can usually tell, but I've been singing a long time and have learned a lot of tricks.
For recording I used basically hi-end budget (to be oxymoronic) gear. Digirack002, a Focusrite ISA428, ADK Hamburg mic, MXL V69 mic, Burns Brian May guitar, and so on.

I have both a vox 'deacy' amp (which is what you hear on these two songs exclusively) and a V-stack BHM edition. The V stack is featured on most of the others I've done: like Death on Two Legs, Stone Cold Crazy, Killer Queen, Tie Your Mother Down, .
Also, I have a fairly inexpensive Sigma acoustic guitar (which I've had for 14 years) and a cheapie Yamaha keyboard.
