10 Greatest Love Songs In Rock Music History
4. Love of My Life - Queen
From day one, Queen was never one to do anything half heartedly. Hell, if they decided to write a song that was solely about a car, they would have put every ounce of themselves into the tune, which they eventually did on I'm In Love With My Car. In the era of Bohemian Rhapsody though, Freddie Mercury hit upon one of the most beautiful letters of devotion that the rock world had ever seen.
Speaking after he and his love have been on the rocks for a while, this is a desperate way for Freddie to let out his emotions, saying that they have no idea what their love means to him. This isn't the kind of subtle infatuation either. Complete with Brian May creating an orchestral sound on the guitar, you hear Freddie start to imagine what will happen when both of them are old and grey, always being there by their side to remind each other how their love has stayed strong.
By not naming names though, this became both an anthem for the fans as well as any legitimate love affair Freddie may have had. To this day, whenever Queen takes to the road, this is always the main tribute every night to Freddie's memory, which can bring any jaded Queen fan to a blubbering mess. Freddie may have been just a little man on a grand stage, but having a song like this in your arsenal is enough to touch the hearts of millions.
