Freddie Mercury - Living on My Own (Best Quality)

"Living on My Own" is a song by Freddie Mercury, from the album Mr. Bad Guy.

It was released as a single (back with "My Love Is Dangerous") in September 1985 in the UK where it peaked at no.50. The July 1985 release in the United States had "She Blows Hot & Cold" as its B-side.

In 1993, almost two years after Mercury's death, a remix of the song was released and reached no.1 in the UK, becoming Mercury's only solo number one hit. It remained at the top for 2 weeks and was in the charts for a total of 13 weeks.

The video for "Living on My Own" featured footage of Mercury's 39th birthday party in 1985 in Munich.

On her 2000 Bohemian Summer tour, Hikaru Utada, a number-one selling J-Pop artist, did a cover of the song. She has quoted Mercury as one of her inspirations. She also alludes to "Living on My Own" in her song "This One (Crying Like a Child)" from her album This Is the One.

I've clicked on this song 5 times and heard a different remix each time LOL. This song always confuses me because it reminds me of summer `1993 when it was number 1, but Freddie had already been dead for 2 years by that point. Just as Barcelona always reminds me of summer 1992, even though he was dead by then too... so which is the original version and which is 1993?
