Mother Love - Queen (Music Video) [HQ]

I suggest to watch the video until the end!

The myth of Freddie Mercury, the charm of the charismatic leader of the London rock band born in 1971, the singer who animates stages and stadiums with his gestures enlivened by sudden thunderbolts full of inner truth. It was all written in the face that it was reality and not fiction. Freddie thought he was what he showed in his performances, he was loaded with trappings as artists do but talent was released liquid conveyed by a desire to be there and live to that extent. "You can be anything you want, just turn into everything you think you can be," he said.

His life, however, made him come across a bad disease that killed him young and withdrew him from the recording rooms while he was finishing his song "Mother Love". It was May 22, 1991 when Freddie, exhausted, decided to stop the work he was doing, thinking of returning in the following days but never returned. He could not complete the recording of the last verse - which in fact is done by Brian May. “He said“ I can't do it, I have to go and rest, then I'll come back and finish it ”… but he never came back,” the guitarist said. As is well known, Freddie no longer had the opportunity to complete his work because shortly after he returned to London in the safe and maternal environment he needed to leave in peace.

"Mother Love" is a sweet and melodic single that with a sense of mysterious foreboding accompanies the singer to define his last will and hope.

"I've walked too long in this lonely lane / I've had enough of this same old game - sings Freddie Mercury with the heartbreaking and moving words of Mother Love - I'm a man of the world and they say that I ' m strong / but my heart is heavy, and my hope is gone. / Out in the city, in the old world outside / I don't want pity, just a safe place to hide / Mama please, let me back inside".

Freddie Mercury, the mythical performer, melts away from his vicious vicissitudes and as in a cry for help and redemption he invokes his mother, the only one from whom he feels the need to receive love. He has nothing to which he wants to cling but her, the only woman and person in whom he has boundless trust and hope of a certain welcome. There is neither success, nor money, nor everything else to which he has devolved his entire existence but only a visceral and plaintive desire for peace and emotional warmth.

Mother Love is featured on the posthumous album Made in Heaven, released by Queen on November 7, 1995. The song was actually written by Brian May as well - as in the case of The Show Must Go On - but the guitarist tried to describe all the sensations that Freddie Mercury could have felt in those last moments.
