@@VLP465 I think this song is a kind of magnet for comments like this. I mean yea I can understand we should for example also say something about the little piano solo near the end, but right at the start Roger catches your attention.

@@naomi-pl1wg *_"most of their songs are all of them singing together"_* No they're not. John Deacon did not sing at all until maybe later on in the '80s, even if videos showed him miming the words.

Some of Roger's and Brian's songs were just them, Melancholy Blues and a few others were just Freddie. {:o:O:}
I continued to feel loyalty and affection for Queen even as their work became less compelling. Their first two albums were the best, but I wouldn't have discovered them if not for "Bohemian Rhapsody" which remains unparalleled to this day. Their 80s albums included some gems along with the foot stomper stadium anthems.

This Queen period was great , Misterios, new , risky and musically rich and beautiful... too advanced and complicated for the masses at that time but all of those changes they did made them interesting and did get the attention from people even if the press and media put them down and didn't give them much credit or publicity like other bands which some of them were great but not majestic... rarities and their hits and unique sound made them always have the attention and here they are now still sound right even without making new material their music lives on because there's no been another band like Queen since or after them

Odio que solo hables de agudos. Esto es muy bonito que hombres hagan esto y me gusta. Pero si te apetecen mas agudas escucha solo a Montsy Caballe y solo mujeres y ya esta!!!. Agudos agudos agudos. Siempre igual.
Overdubs all over the place. In fact I would say a lot of it is just excerpts from the studio recording so as "Bri" would say, don't kid yourself "folks".

Better than album version
Whats the diference friend?
So underrated but a beauty diamond in the bottom of their discography
Nah their 70s stuffs their best and Queen 1 is one of their best albums
I'm revisiting this video after around 4 years and I still believe that this is one of Queen's most beautiful songs.
definitely
Old queen is such a gem
"My Fairy King" was the first song the Queen played during their debut radio appearance on John Peel's 1973 show for BBC Radio 1.
""My Fairy King" was the first Queen song to feature Mercury's piano skills. Guitarist Brian May said of the song's recording:
"This
was the first time we'd really seen Freddie [Mercury] working at his
full capacity. He's virtually a self-taught pianist, and he was making
vast strides at the time, although we didn't have a piano on stage at
that point because it would have been impossible to fix up.
So,
in the studio was the first chance Freddie had to do his piano things
and we actually got that sound of the piano and the guitar working for
the first time which was very exciting. 'My Fairy King' was the first of
these sort of epics where there were lots of voice overdubs and
harmonies. Freddie got into this, and that led to 'The March Of The
Black Queen' on the second album and then 'Bohemian Rhapsody' later on."
wait doesn't that means Freddie have perfect pitch?
Very interesting info thanks

The softness of Freddie' s voice. I'm in love
YES!.
Rogers falsetto is making me cry

Freddie Mercury is the master, owner, and universal creator of what I'm hearing now. Have a good trip.
True genius Freddie. The most poetic lyricist 🎼
Miss you on your birthday September 5th ❤️ last week.
You. The best.
Brilliant. One of Queen's best songs. Freddie's imagination was just amazing.
This awesome song is so underrated
Aah, aah
In the land where horses born with eagle wings
And honey bees have lost their stings
There's singing forever, ooh yeah
Lion's den with fallow deer
And rivers made from wine so clear
Flow on and on forever
Dragons fly like sparrows thru' the air
And baby lambs where Samson dares
To go on on on on on on
My fairy king can see things
He rules the air and turns the tides
That are not there for you and me
Ooh yeah he guides the winds
My fairy king can do right and nothing wrong
Ah, then came man to savage in the night
To run like thieves and to kill like knives
To take away the power from the magic hand
To bring about the ruin to the promised land, aah, aah
They turn the milk into sour
Like the blue in the blood of my veins
Why can't you see it
Fire burning in hell with the cry of screaming pain
Son of heaven set me free and let me go
Sea turn dry, no salt from sand
Seasons fly no helping hand
Teeth don't shine like pearls for poor man's eyes, aah
Someone, someone has drained the colour from my wings
Broken my fairy circle ring
And shamed the king in all his pride
Changed the winds and wronged the tides
Mother Mercury Mercury
Look what they've done to me
I cannot run, I cannot hide
La la la la la la la la la la la la
These 4 people were legends
