"'''These Are the Days of Our Lives'''" is a song by the British rock band [[Queen (band)|Queen]]. Although credited to the whole band, it was largely written by their drummer [[Roger Taylor (Queen drummer)|Roger Taylor]], and is the eighth track on the band's 1991 album ''[[Innuendo (album)|Innuendo]]''.<ref>[http://www.ultimatequeen.co.uk/songs/innuendo.htm#these Innuendo - These Are The Days Of Our Lives] UltimateQueen. Retrieved 25 June 2011</ref>

The song was released as a single in the United States on [[Freddie Mercury]]'s 45th birthday, 5 September 1991, and as [[A-side and B-side|double A-side]] single in Ireland and the United Kingdom on 9 December, in the wake of Mercury's death, with the Queen track "[[Bohemian Rhapsody]]". The double A-side debuted at number one on the [[UK Singles Chart]] and remained there for five weeks, topped the [[Irish Singles Chart]] for six weeks, and reached number 16 in Germany. "These Are the Days" by itself topped Poland's [[Lista Przebojów Programu Trzeciego|LP3]] chart for fourteen non-consecutive weeks. The song was awarded a [[Brit Awards|Brit Award]] for [[Brit Award for British Single of the Year|British Single of the Year]] in 1992.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/events/brit_awards/freddy.htm The Highs and Lows of the Brit Awards] BBC. Retrieved 24 June 2011</ref>

Ron Hart of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' writes, “the conga-driven synth ballad “These Are the Days of Our Lives” is ''Innuendo''‘s most significant single, given that it was released on Mercury’s 45th birthday, and that its video marked the last time his fans were able to see the singer alive, as it was filmed in May of ’91 during the final stages of his battle with AIDS. A ballad in the vein of “[[Love of My Life]],” it was a song that carried a significant amount of weight given the frailty of Mercury’s appearance in the black-and-white video, later compounded when unreleased color footage from the filming emerged in ''Days of Our Lives''.”<ref name=“Hart”>{{cite news |title=Remembering Queen's Last Masterpiece, 'Innuendo' |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/queens-innuendo-remembering-freddie-mercurys-last-masterpiece-223856/ |accessdate=18 March 2019 |work=Rolling Stone}}</ref>

==Live performances and covers==
The song was first played live on 20 April 1992 at the [[Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert]], sung by [[George Michael]] and [[Lisa Stansfield]].<ref>[http://www.ultimatequeen.co.uk/videos/fmtributedvd.htm#these The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert: These Are the Days of Our Lives] Retrieved 24 June 2011</ref> This live version was included on the 1993 album ''[[Five Live (George Michael and Queen EP)|Five Live (EP)]]'', credited to 'George Michael with Queen & Lisa Stansfield'.

The song was played on the 2005/2006 [[Queen + Paul Rodgers]] tours with vocals provided by Roger Taylor. On stage the song was accompanied by a video of the band in their early days in [[Japan]], including many shots focusing on past band members [[Freddie Mercury]] and [[John Deacon]].

The song was used on 1 July 2007 at the [[Concert for Diana]] held at the new [[Wembley Stadium]], London in honour of [[Diana, Princess of Wales]], who had [[Death of Diana, Princess of Wales|died almost 10 years earlier]].<ref name="Diana">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6259822.stm Old and new stars celebrate Diana] BBC. Retrieved 16 July 2011</ref> At the end of the concert, a video montage of Diana as a child was presented and this song was playing in the background.<ref name="Diana"/>

A [[cover version]] by [[Petula Clark]] is included on her 2008 [[compilation album]] ''[[Then & Now: The Very Best of Petula Clark|Then & Now]]''.

==Music video==
The video was the last Queen video to feature Freddie Mercury in person. [[Rudi Dolezal]] and [[Hannes Rossacher]] of [[DoRo Productions]] filmed the footage used in the video on 30 May 1991.<ref name="History"/>

[[Freddie Mercury]], [[Roger Taylor (Queen drummer)|Roger Taylor]] and [[John Deacon]] were present at the shoot, [[Brian May]] was filmed later in the year and added in digitally, as he was out of the country on a promotional tour at the time of the shoot. Following rumours about Mercury's health, the video was filmed and released in black and white to hide the full extent of his illness.<ref name=“Hart”/>

In the video, Mercury wears a waistcoat with pictures of cats that was made for him by Queen Costume Designer, Diana Moseley. With his knowing farewell look straight at the camera, Mercury whispers "I still love you" as the song ends, which are his last ever words on camera.<ref name="Channel4">”Queen's Greatest Videos”.

The US version of the video features animation produced by [[Walt Disney Studios]], as Queen's North American record label, [[Hollywood Records]], is a subsidiary of [[The Walt Disney Company]].<ref>[http://queencollection.com/meny_hoved.asp?id=46 DVD Docum - These Are The Days Of Our Lives] Queen Collection. Retrieved 16 July 2011</ref> Another video version was released in 1992 to promote the ''[[Classic Queen]]'' compilation album in the US, combining old footage of the band from 1973 to 1991 plus the performances of the band from the US aired video.<ref>[http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/queen/albums.jhtml?albumId=72769 Queen Album: Classic Queen] MTV.
