Queen II -
Funny How Love Is
#
Lyric / Motif
Interpretation & Notes
1
Wall-of-sound shimmer
Phil Spector–style layers create a halo — love as an enveloping atmosphere.
2
“Funny how love is” (refrain)
Mantra of wonder and paradox — affectionate, slightly ironic observation of love’s quirks.
3
Stacked backing vocals
Communal warmth; voices blur into a shared glow, turning private feeling into collective vibe.
4
Steady, chiming rhythm
More tide than thunderclap — constancy rather dan drama.
5
Bright, major-key colour
Pop sheen after darker theatrics — a brief, luminous interlude.
Note: Freddie Mercury’s luminous pop vignette — brief, harmonic, unabashedly romantic. Track 10 on Queen II.
