Too much love will kill you
Queen
There has ever happend to find between the love for two persons?
Maybe during that range of time between the end of a love story and the beginning of a new one?
Ok, this is what happened to Brian May when he wrote "Too much love will kill you" for the Queen music band.
The desparate cry of a guy that cannot pick which love is lover-ly for him. The previous one or the next one?
Where the title comes from: too much love will kill you.
