Song: Love Of My Life
First Heard: Live at Wembley 1986 DVD
Mood When Heard: Sad
People it Reminds You Of:my Ex-Girlfriend
Opinion: I love this song, it helps me when I am sad. It feels so well made. It proved that Queen could produce a proper love song.
when this disscussion dies, a new one will spawn for a different song. if I don't make the topic, then consider the series over.

'I like to stick lightbulbs in my...' JOKING
When it comes to ANATO's 'Love of My Life', well frankly, as beautiful a song as it is, I find it a bit dull and have to be in the right mood to listen to it.
When it comes to live versions, such as your Wembley, yes I love it. I don't know if 'raw' is the correct word for a song like 'Love of My Life' but Freddie's vocals do sound very powerful. However what makes the Wembley version so good is the huge audience joining in. Freddie's vocals have been better on seperate occasions.

I love Love Of My Love. There's nothing more to say, really. It's a beautiful song and every time I hear it, I can feel the tears coming to my eyes. Freddie's vocals in this song feel so powerful, especially when he sings, "Hurry back, hurry back, please bring it back home to me". That part especially wrenches my heart. Ok, I know I song very sappy, but that's how I feel. Love Of My Life - the lovely song in my life!
obviuosly this wasn't the best song to start the series with.
Whoops! Double post!
Song: Love Of My Life.
First Heard: A Night At The Opera.
Mood When Heard: Tired.
People it Reminds You Of: No-one, really.
Opinion: It's a very pretty song, and I love it very much, but is not my favorite of Freddie's love songs of the '70s. That honor goes to You Take My Breath Away.

Most beautiful song in the catalogue. One of the finest vocal performances of the rock era. And obviously the live version is another beast altogether, with it's own beauty. Freddie was at the peak of his playing and writng powers on ANATO, it shows here.
Good idea for a thread BTW. Don't be discouraged by the lack of early responses, QZ is in a funk of good discussions at the present time.

Song: Love Of My Life
First Heard: Live at Wembley 1986, at YouTube
Mood When Heard: Thinking
People it Reminds You Of: Like all love songs, my kind of ex girlfriend (that's a lie, she has been my friend at best)
Opinion: Best fucking love song ever. Maybe beaten by White Queen, Somebody to Love, It's Late, Save Me, It's a Hard Life and... That's kinda it. The cream of Queen ballads, anyway. Wonderful song.

well, this seems to have become a single opinion topic, Queenzone needs a shit load of these types of topics, one for each song, album, and tour, that would drown the spam for long egnough to take QZ to its former glory. anyway, the next topic shall be for Teo Toriate. don't complian that I am only doing 70s songs, they are ussally better anyway.
Song: Love Of My Life
First Heard: Radio 1 FM station. Someone called "Mary" requested for this song to be played and it was then that I first heard it and was taken back by everything in the song. Then I later on bought the CD Live At The Bowl and admired it even more. :)
Mood When Heard: Amazed.
People it Reminds You Of: Brian and Freddie live at a gig playing and singing together.
Opinion: One of my favourite Queen songs.

Mood When Heard: Nostalgic
People it Reminds You Of: Freddie
Opinion: I find it drags on a bit. The melody doesn't quite do it for me, though it does have some nice sections. And the piano part in the middle is fabulous.
