My Life Has Been Saved ��
Previously released (albeit in a different format) as a B-side, ‘My
Life Has Been Saved’ features Mercury on lead vocals. Pretty
forgettable.
I Was Born to Love You ��
Another Mercury solo effort, ‘I Was Born to Love You’ is
reworked, reimagined, redone if you will, but, yet again, it feels
like the new arrangements have been tacked on, and aren’t meant
to be there.
Heaven for Everyone ���
‘This could be heaven for everyone, This world could be fed, this
world could be fun, This could be heaven for everyone, This world
could be free, this world could be one.’
Too Much Love Will Kill You ���
A love ballad – one of the best of its kind, in fact. Possibly a little
too saccharine for some, ‘Too Much Love Will Kill You’ was
previously a Brian May solo hit. Somehow fits May’s voice better
t ha n Merc u r y’s.
You Don’t Fool Me �
‘You don’t fool me – those pretty eyes, That sexy smile – you don’t
fool me, You don’t rule me – you’re no surprise, You’re telling lies
- you don’t fool me.’ A track from the ‘Hot Space’ era. Probably
would’ve been better off left there. Repetitive disco-funk.
A Winter’s Tale ��
Somewhat emotive, sometime pleasant, ‘A Winter’s Tale’ features
a good Brain May solo. Christmassy. ‘So quiet and peaceful,
Tranquil and blissful, There’s a kind of magic in the air, What a
truly magnificent view.’
