Love of My Life is a ballad from the album A Night at the Opera by English rock band Queen. Freddie Mercury wrote it on the piano and guitarist Brian May rearranged the song for acoustic 12-string guitar to facilitate live performances. May contributed occasional guitar phrases to the original recording and played the swooping harp glissandos by pasting together multiple takes of single chords. The song is a good example of Mercury's familiarity with rubato phrasing, showcasing his classical piano influences, notably by Chopin and Beethoven.

The preceding track on the album, "The Prophet's Song", flows seamlessly into "Love of My Life", but Queen never performed the two back-to-back. "Love of My Life" was such a concert favourite that Mercury frequently stopped singing and allowed the audience take over, a phenomenon that encouraged the band to write such songs as "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" specifically with audience participation in mind. It was especially well received during concerts in South America, and the band released the song as a single there. The Prophets Song is a song by the British band Queen that was featured on the album A Night at the Opera. ...
