5. Who Wants To Live Forever
From Queen’s 1986 album A Kind of Magic, “Who Wants to Live Forever” was written by guitarist Brian May for the soundtrack to the film Highlander. The track is hauntingly beautiful, from the moving lyrics to the powerful quality of Freddie Mercury’s faultless voice. It is clear that, like his other performances, Mercury puts everything into delivering the song, and the emotion that is portrayed is enough to send shivers down their listeners’ backs. Although the ballad evokes feelings of sadness, it is a truly empowering and touching track.
