UntitledIt’s a Beautiful Day ��
Recorded by Mercury back in 1980, ‘It’s a Beautiful Day’ features
Deacon’s oboe, but is more of a sampling of what could have been
rather than a great piece of finished music, heralding the overall
sound of the album to come.
Made in Heaven ��
Another Freddie Mercury solo number, ‘Made in Heaven’ is more
rocked up in this number, but it all feels a bit tacked on, if truth be
told.
Let Me Live ���
‘Why don’t you take another little piece of my heart, Why don’t
you take it and break it, And tear it all apart, All I do is give, All
you do is take.’ With lead vocals shared by Mercury, May and
Taylor, gospel tinged ‘Let Me Live’ features good harmonies, and is
one of the better tracks on an otherwise average album.
Mother Love ���
The last song Mercury ever penned alongside Brian May, ‘Mother
Love’ is a moody, bleak, yet moving, track. Mercury died
before the final verse could be recorded, but the piece still feels
complete.
