Hronologija singlova Queena

These Are the Days of Our Lives je singl britanske rock grupe Queen. Pjesmu je napisao bubnjar Roger Taylor a nalazi se kao osma pjesma na albumu Innuendo iz 1991. godine.^[1] Aranžman za klavijature su napravila sva četvorice članova benda u studiju dok je aranžman za konga udaraljke djelo njihovog producenta Davida Richardsa (iako je to u video spotu oponašao Roger Taylor). Pjesma je izdana kao singl u SAD-u na Freddijev 45. rođendan (5. septembra 1991. godine), a u Velikoj Britaniji tri mjeseca kasnije 9. decembra. Singl je debitovao na 1 mjestu UK top-liste singlova gdje se zadržao 5 sedmica.^[2] Pjesma je dobila britansku nagradu za Najbolji singl u 1992. godini.^[3] 1992. godine na Freddie Mercury Tribute Concertu pjesmu su izveli George Michael i Lisa Stansfield. 1999. godine objavljena je na kompilaciji Greatest Hits III.

Muzički spot

Muzički video spot ove pjesme je ujedno i posljedni video spot frontmena Freddiea, koji je nedugo poslije toga preminuo od AIDS-a. Većina snimaka koji se koriste u video spotu snimili su Rudi Doležal i Hannes Rossacher 30. maja 1991. godine. Spot je snimljen bez gitariste Briana Maya koji se u vrijeme snimanja spota nalazio u SAD-u, te su kadrovi s njegovim snimkama snimljeni nekoliko sedmica kasnije i montirani u video spot. Video je snimljen u crno-bijeloj tehnici upravo da bi se prikrilo teško zdravstveno stanje Freddija a o čemu je javnost špekulisala nakon što je malo prije toga objavljena i pjesma I'm Going Slightly Mad koja je nagovještavala ono najgore od čega su strahovali Freddievi fanovi.^[4] Nakon izvjesnog vremena kada je objavljena i verzija video spota u boji moglo se otkriti koliko je Mercury bio lošeg stanja u doba snimanja spota te je opravdana odluka grupe da se spot snimi u toj tehnici iz poštovanja prema Mercuryju. U spotu se on oprašta od publike riječima: "I still love you", odnosno "Još vas volim".^[5]
