There's also the intro to 'One Vision', singing between Freddie and the audience from Wembley, I think, a bit of 'Tie Your Mother Down' and a baby crying (Which I think kinda makes the song end on a silly note, it takes some of the seriousness out of it. I would've liked to hear the song end with the "I still love you..." from TATDOOL. Freddie's last words spoken on video on Freddie's last recorded song, would've been nice.) |

Itr's also a sort of 'career' retrospective. Starts with One Vision (last tour) and ends with Going back (first release) |

Forgive us for living. Oh, p l e a s e, grace us with your wisdom, and why not throw in a swear word or two. Freddie, Brian, Roger, John were not rude. Other celebs even said, "They are so NICE!" I think it was Queen that had a song something like I Want It All, and I want it NOW! Research - baloney! If you know something about the subject, tell us, or give us a link, please. |

Hah I didn't finish writing. You don't have a clue.... I sort of mean, we're not really sure which was last. It appears that Mother Love was the last whole song he worked on (and the last one he recorded with Brian) but it appears he came back to London and did the ending of A Winter's Tale. |

It's like this... Brian maintains that Mother Love is the last song he did with Freddie, and he'd be right. It's the last song they worked on before Freddie flew home from Montreaux. However, Dave Richards (and maybe someone else) say that Metropolis (in London) is the last place that Freddie recorded in; it's also said in an interview somewhere that Mother Love and A Winter's Tale overlapped in the recording process. It's reasonable that he could've recorded 2 or 4 weeks before his death, because thats around about when he stopped taking his medication. Any later, and there's no way he'd have been recording anything, but it's reasonable to say he might've been able to do so *right* when he stopped taking the medication - it did keep him going for a long while. Geeze I wish there'd be a definitive answer on all of this; but the two viewpoints (Brian May and Dave Richards) don't exactly cancel each other out. They more or less show two recollections of different occasions - and who's to say which one actually happened last? |
| deleted user 21.12.2006 12:46 |
Yeah, the mixed up bit at the end of Mother Love include some 'DAY-OH's of Freddie (From Wembley I think:)) a bit of the guitar riff in 'Tie Your Mother Down' his cover of Dusty Springfield's 'Going Back' ('I think I'm going back/to the things I learnt so well, in my youth' etc) Then a wailing brat. What is that about though? The baby I mean. Is that to signify motherly love? |

They more or less show two recollections of different occasions - and who's to say which one actually happened last?I'm almost certain his last sessions were in the summer of '91. Freddie was the consummate singer and showman, yes, but I can't imagine him flying off to Montreux two weeks before his death to record a song; certainly, the hassle of going through customs in Freddie's condition, and the possibility that Freddie could catch any air-borne illness that a person would have on the flight, is evidence against this. One would think that he would go to a London studio if he had to record anything in the remaining weeks of his life. Just because Dave Richards said something doesn't mean it should be taken as the truth, even if the others haven't disputed what he's said. |
| mercurycat 21.12.2006 14:02 |
It's my understanding that the last song he wrote was A WINTER"S TALE and the last song he recorded was MOTHER LOVE. If you listen to the vocals of each of these songs, he appears to be stronger in A WINTER'S TALE. I cannot even listen to MOTHER LOVE without hearing his pain in his voice. Brian said that he could only work for a very short time each day during this period and that was on days when he was well enough to come in at all. We can only appreciate the great sacrifice that Freddie made to sing these songs at all. |

| Regor 21.12.2006 19:15 |
So the point is what was the last take or what was the last song they developed together? I remember reading that the last ever recorded take of Freddie was the middle eight in "Mother Love". The one ending with "Mama please, let me back inside". And that line IMO was not manipulated on MIH, no compression, reverb, or any other effect, just the voice as captured by the mic, which to me is a hint as well. The lines before that are very high, and as Brian explained, he downed a vodka, and just nailed it. After that he wasn't able to continue and was quoted saying "I'll finish that next time", but never did. Perhaps AWT was recorded in London later, but apparently ML was the last ever song that at least two members of Queen worked on together. |
| john bodega 21.12.2006 23:59 |
"Just because Dave Richards said something doesn't mean it should be taken as the truth, even if the others haven't disputed what he's said.' This is true! Perhaps he wasn't recording on his 'last' visit to Montreaux. Maybe an earlier one? Still, I reckon if he was well enough to walk around, he'd be well enough to sing (and ol' Brian says he was singing even when he couldn't stand properly). |
| Going Back 22.12.2006 03:58 |
lol, someone said earlyer that i lied and i wrote firt thing what came into my mind, well not, this is what i have read and it might be true, freddie probabelly sang a winters tale last part around two weaks before he died and no he was still capable to walk at that time, his condition got that worse with last days. it was possible him to sing it around two weaks before his death and even on wikipedia it has written as his last song. mother love was last song freddie sang with brian together in studio. |

Hello Dear Friends, like all of you, I have been trying to figure uot which song is Freddie's last song. After reading a lot of articles, I think that "Mother Love" is the last song recorded in a studio, and "Winter's Tale" was recorded in London, after "Mother Love". As one of you remarked, "Winter's Tale" was probably recorded in Freddie's home. Speaking about "Mother Love", I read that Brian wrote and recorded the last verse of the song several years after Freddie's death. So Freddie did not even see the last verse. Also I wanna say that "Mother Love" is the best song in the world. I have never heard anything better. This song reflects extreme sadness, dispair, pain, loneliness, and the need for real love. Furthermore, Freddie's voice is extremely powerful and beautiful. Sometimes I cannot even believe that Freddie was so sick at the time of the recording of the song. By the way, do you think that "Mother Love" would have been better if Brian did not add the last verse? I just know that some people think that Brian's last verse distorts the song's meaning since it was not written with or by Freddie. |
| Bohemian Rhapsodies 26.12.2006 22:46 |
From the various books I have read about Freddie's life, it has pretty much been concluded that A WINTER'S TALE was the last song that he actually wrote. He wrote it while staying at the Duck House in Montreux, so named because of it's duck pond. Freddie loved to go out on the grounds while there, as it was a very peaceful place where he could escape from the ever watchful eyes of the press. I believe that it was recorded by Queen while in Montreux. MOTHER LOVE was the last song that he ever recorded, also in Montreux. As a previous poster stated, Brian mentioned that Freddie was never able to finish this song because he became too ill and returned to England. So I think the distinction between the two songs is that A WINTER'S TALE was the last song he ever wrote and MOTHER LOVE is the last song he ever recorded. |

"By the way, do you think that "Mother Love" would have been better if Brian did not add the last verse? I just know that some people think that Brian's last verse distorts the song's meaning since it was not written with or by Freddie." I never minded it too much... you'll notice that the perspective of the song changes. Freddie's lines were all "I don't want, I don't need", etcetera. Brian's parts are "My body, my dreams", etcetera. I feel that, as it's a different voice singing it, and a different viewpoint, it's acceptable. Aside from that... I'm not sure the song would sound any good without a final verse on it. |

I do think the last verse distorts the song a bit, but it's not a huge deal. I just think the emotion that freddie sang with at that particualar time is hard to be recaptured 4 years later by brian. Still a great song, and the baby bit is a nice way to end the song. |

"Still a great song, and the baby bit is a nice way to end the song." I've always said I like the baby at the end ; but you wouldn't believe the amount of people who simply don't get it, or find it aurally too irritating.... |
