Before I began performing the music of Queen in 2012 - incredibly - I had never heard this song. After a few shows with the Queen Extravaganza, though, and absorbing the song’s cadence, it quickly became one of my favorites to perform - not only because of its breathtaking classical intricacy, but also for the way it arrests the audience’s attention every. single. time. in a way that no other Queen song seems to do. The song recently took on new meaning for me when someone (and I regrettably forget who) told me that Fred wrote it from the perspective of Mary Austin, as an empathetic love letter, fully aware of the toll their relationship had on her. I don’t know if that’s true, but it makes the lyric so much heavier for me.
When I picture the quintessential “young Freddie,” this is the voice I hear in my head. The fragility and vulnerability he displayed in the original recording of “Love Of My Life” is astounding. He was truly fearless in displaying his feminine side, which is maybe the most important thing I learned from him as a singer. As a musical product of early 90s grunge, I came up with the impression that masculinity must always sound deep and guttural, something my vocal cords never allowed me to do very convincingly. I cringe a bit when I listen to my early recordings! I was always a little shy about the fact that I could sing very softly and breathy - almost like a girl. I guess you could say Freddie gave me permission to let that side of my voice out into the open, and to embrace it.
I always dedicate this one to his memory because it feels like the appropriate thing to do. It always seems like the perfect moment in a set list of bombastic anthems to pause, and truly take into account the singular talent that was Freddie Mercury.
(S/O to Brandon Ethridge for the inspiration behind incorporating the guitar parts into the piano arrangement. Brilliant! Check out his hilarious music-geek YouTube series "WHERE'S THE F-ing BEAT?!?")

Queen (Inglés: Reina) es una banda británica de rock formada en 1970 en Londres, integrada originalmente por el cantante y pianista Freddie Mercury, el guitarrista Brian May, el baterista Roger Taylor y el bajista John Deacon (él cual llegaría un año después al grupo para completar la formación clásica). Sus primeros trabajos estuvieron influenciados por el rock progresivo y el hard rock, pero la banda se aventuró gradualmente en trabajos más convencionales y amigables con la radio, incorporando más estilos como el arena rock y el pop rock.
Antes de formar Queen, May y Taylor habían tocado juntos en la banda Smile. Mercury se apegó a la banda y les animó a experimentar con técnicas escénicas y de grabación más elaboradas. Se unió en 1970 y sugirió el nombre de «Queen». Deacon fue reclutado en febrero de 1971, antes de que la banda lanzara su álbum debut homónimo en 1973. Queen apareció por primera vez en las listas de éxitos del Reino Unido con su segundo álbum, Queen II, en 1974. Sheer Heart Attack más tarde ese año y A Night at the Opera en 1975 trajeron con ellos, el éxito internacional. Este último presentó «Bohemian Rhapsody», que se mantuvo en el número uno en el Reino Unido durante nueve semanas y ayudó a popularizar el formato de vídeo musical.
El álbum de 1977 de la banda, News of the World, contenía «We Will Rock You» y «We Are the Champions», que se han convertido en himnos en los eventos deportivos. A principios de la década de 1980, Queen era una de las bandas de arena rock más importantes del mundo. «Another One Bites the Dust» de The Game (1980) se convirtió en su sencillo más vendido, mientras que su álbum recopilatorio de 1981 Greatest Hits es uno de los álbumes más vendidos a nivel mundial con más de 50 millones de copias. En el Reino Unido es el álbum más vendido con más de 7 millones de copias y está certificado como nueve veces platino en los EE. UU. Su actuación en el concierto Live Aid de 1985 y su concierto en Wembley Stadium en 1986 están clasificadas entre las mejores recitaciones de la historia del rock por varias publicaciones. En agosto de 1986, Freddie Mercury dio su última actuación con Queen en Knebworth, Inglaterra. En 1991 murió de bronconeumonía, una complicación del sida. Deacon se retiró en 1997. Desde 2004, May y Taylor han realizado giras como «Queen +», con los vocalistas Paul Rodgers y Adam Lambert.
Queen ha tenido una presencia global en la cultura popular durante más de cinco décadas. Las estimaciones de sus ventas de discos oscilan entre 250 y 300 millones, lo que los convierten en unos de los artistas musicales con más ventas del mundo. En 1990, Queen recibió el Brit Award por su destacada contribución a la música británica. Fueron incluidos en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll en 2001, y como cada miembro había compuesto varios sencillos exitosos, los cuatro fueron incluidos en el Salón de la Fama de los Compositores en 2003. En 2005 recibieron el Premio Ivor Novello a la Colección de Canciones Destacadas de la British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, y en 2018 recibieron el premio Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
