Brian May & Roger Taylor - I Was Born To Love You (Live in Japan, 2005)

“I Was Born to Love You“ was originally recorded (piano, vocals, synths) by Mercury on 25 May 1984, for his Mr. Bad Guy album, as a late addition (when told by the record company that the album needed “a single“). May, Taylor and Deacon remixed it and added their instruments, turning the song into fast-paced rock, mainly featuring hard rock guitar from Brian May. That track became popular in Japan during 2004 when it was used for the theme song of a television drama named Pride (プライド). This version also contains samples of Mercury’s ad-lib vocals from “A Kind of Magic“, from the 1986 album of the same name, and from “Living on My Own“, from his Mr. Bad Guy album. The music video for this version of the song, also made in 2004, is composed mainly of clips from the Freddie Mercury solo video and from Queen: Live at Wembley. There is also a version performed by Brian and Roger where May plays a 12 string and Taylor sings lead vocals.
