Song: Love Of My Life.
First Heard: A Night At The Opera. 1975
Mood When Heard: unimpressed
People it Reminds You Of: a mate who gave me his copy of the album in late 75...i was only 13 and couldn't afford to buy it.
Opinion: As "Freddie Ballads" go...mediocre/dull...yes the arrnagement is intricate and delicate...but hey...he wrote so very many better slow numbers...
Lily, You Take My Breath Away, Millionaire Waltz and the perfect Nevermore

People it Reminds You Of: Renee

Mood: Intrigued
People it Reminded Me Of: My Parents
Opinion: It's a very relaxing and heart-warming song. The lyrics are among the most powerful I've ever heard in a Queen song.

Song: Love Of My Life
First Heard: Live At Wembley 86
Mood: Nonplussed
People it Reminded Me Of: no-one particularly
Opinion: The studio version of the song has grown on me in recent times, which I prefer over the live interpretations...probably Freddie's best ballad. Just a pity that the studio arrangement was never performed live.

First Heard: ANATO
Mood: Sympathy
Reminds me of: Queen (I don't know of anyone else to put)
Opinion: I love this song. It has beautiful piano and has a lot of emotion and soul to it. The vocals are incredible and blend very well. Overall, it is a wonderful song.

Song: Love of My Life
First heard: ANATO
Mood when heard: Bittersweet
People it reminds you of: nobody in particular
Opinion: Lovely song; I like the way on ANATO it transitions from Prophet's Song to Love of My Life; deceptively simple. I also like the live version with just Freddie singing and Brian playing acoustic guitar.
My husband made me angry when he implied that the audience often sang along to this song at concerts because it was such a "simple" song.

I think it's a nice song, but like someone else posted, it's a but dull sometimes and I have to be in the right mood. I usually skip it. I like the live-versions better. But then again, I like "Is this the Word we Created...?" much more than "Love of my Life"...

love of my life is simply one of my favorite songs of all time. I love both the live and studio versions, but the studio version has the clear edge. I think the prophet song, love of my life and bo rhap might be the three greatest queen songs ever.
Song: Love Of My Life.
First Heard: A Night At The Opera.
Mood When Heard: Lonely
People it Reminds You Of: I first heard this song the first time I heard ANATO. I was thirteen, and, in the basement bedroom of my friends older brother. I thought the vocals were so...powerfully emotional. I had just moved to a new state(for the seventh time),and, had to leave behind some of my horses and cats.
So, who does it remind me of? Horses and cats.

First Heard: A Night At The Opera back in 92 or 93
Mood When Heard: Excited - my very first real Queen album (had GH 1&2). Remember thinking the song was a bit dull after being blown away by DOTL and Prophet's Song...
People it Reminds You Of: no-one at all.
Opinion: Its one of their best ballads, fits in perfectly within ANATO. Don't so much like it live. Love the harp in the song.
