The piece was originally composed as part of the score for the 1955 Soviet film The Gadfly (Ovod), which is set in 19th-century Italy and tells the story of a revolutionary fighting against Austrian occupation. What’s fascinating is that although the film was a Soviet production, it was designed to parallel the spirit of revolutionary struggle, subtly echoing the Soviet Union's own ideological narrative.

The song was written by Freddie Mercury and was inspired by his personal experiences, but it was originally created for their 1975 album A Night at the Opera. Despite its tender, almost balladic nature, it became one of Queen's most enduring and emotional songs. Freddie Mercury later said that "Love of My Life" was one of his personal favorites from the band's catalog.

"Feeling Good" is the 10th song on Muse's second album Origin of Symmetry. Written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the musical "The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd" in 1964 and made famous by Nina Simone, it is the only cover to appear on a Muse studio album.

The iconic "Now We Are Free" track was actually recorded with no specific direction for lyrics. Lisa Gerrard, who co-wrote the song, improvised her vocal lines during the recording, allowing her emotions to guide her. This spontaneous, raw approach helped give the song its deeply evocative and timeless feel, contributing to its emotional resonance in the film. It’s a prime example of how music can transcend language to convey powerful, universal emotions.
