Who Wants To Live Forever?

When love must die.



Many ways to interpret this song. But the way I see it, a very haunting song about Man's limitations and finiteness, and his yearning for love to last for eternity, a love which 'must die'. 'This world is only one sweet moment set aside for us... forever is ours today.' He tries to enjoy everlasting love in the boundaries of time, and succeeds in part, 'and we can have forever.' Like a foretaste of heaven, but never quite able to reach it. Touching, and sad at the same time.

One of the few songs where a musician sings 'forever' and you know he means it. The entire structure of the song, the beats of the drums and Mercury's voice says it all.
