How Can I Go On

"How Can I Go On" by Freddie Mercury is a powerful love ballad originally performed in the key of D major. The song was composed by Freddie Mercury himself and features opera soprano Montserrat Caballé as a duet partner. The lyrics explore the emotional turmoil of a broken relationship and the pain of trying to move on. One interesting fact is that the song was initially intended to be part of an album collaboration between Mercury and Caballé, but it gained popularity as a standalone single. The melody is melodramatic and showcases both Mercury's soaring vocals and Caballé's operatic range, creating a mesmerizing and heartfelt musical experience.
