    From the website Songfacts:
    Brian May had the dream that inspired this song years before he wrote it. He wasn't trying to push any religious agenda with the lyric, but he did want to convey a message. "In the dream, people were walking on the streets trying to touch each other's hands, desperate to try and make some sign that they were caring about other people," he told Melody Maker in 1975. "I felt that the trouble must be - and this is one of my obsessions anyway - that people don't make enough contact with each other. A feeling that runs through a lot of the songs I write is that if there is a direction to mankind, it ought to be a coming together and at the moment, it doesn't seem to be happening very well."

    Someday, just put on your headphones or sit in a quiet room and listen to "A Night At The Opera" from beginning to end. It's really the way it was meant to be enjoyed. When I was 10 yo in '75, I went to my friend's house and we sat in her brother's room and listened to this just like that. He had his speakers set up across the room from one another so we got the whole panning effects. I was speechless. It made me an instant Queen fan, at 10 yo.

    I have to say, I'm always looking forward to your reactions. You point out things even a hardcore fan sometimes miss. And I can only agree to the suggestion to listen to Queen with headphones on. This way you won't miss anything. It's an old habit from me anyway and this way there's more to enjoy. Another thing I'd like to point out is how effortlessly Freddie can adjust his voice to every genre and style of music. He's unbelievable versatile and his ability to colour a single note with emotion, to give every line a different nuance and glue it all together to a masterpiece is outstanding. You're not only listen to Freddie sing, you basically feel the song as well.

    Queen was heavily into exploring overdubbing during the production of the album, A Night at the Opera. There was so much overdubbing on some of their recordings, that the oxide tape was actually clear. Of course today everything is digital but back then it was a risk because the tape would become fragile and they could lose everything if it crumbled. (FYI those tapes still exist. They have been "baked' which is when magnetic tapes are literally baked at a low temperature for 6 -8 hours which removes moisture to maintain them).
    For example, most people believe that the 1st two verses of Bohemian Rhapsody are a collaboration of Freddie, Roger, and Brian harmonizing together but that is incorrect. Those 2 verses are being sung only by Freddie. Freddie laid down 5 separate tracks, harmonizing with himself and then use overdubbing to blend the five tracks to produce the sound for the following verses:
    "Is this the real life, is this just fantasy?
    Caught in a landslide no escape from reality
    Open your eyes look up to the skies and see
    I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
    Because I'm easy come, easy go
    A little high, little low
    Anyway the wind blows
    Doesn't really matter to me, to me"

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but the end with the guitar actually leads into Love of My Life (that's why it cuts off a bit). This is where context matters on a "concept" album like Night at the Opera. Can you imagine that, an incredibly epic song, lyric and audio-wise, melting away into something as simple like Love of My Life? (Brian learned how to play the freaking HARP just for this.) Anyway, loved your reaction, it's definitely a trip!

    That acoustic middle section shows the absolute genius of Freddie Mercury. It was done using a delay machine (new technology at the time). Freddie went into the vocal booth and improvised some vocals, which were then fed through the delay machine twice, with the result that Freddie was able to create three-part harmonies with *himself* through the use of impeccable timing and pitch.

    To me, this song sounds futuristic, as if after an apocalypse. I enjoyed your reaction, your attention to small details and your appreciation for Queen's more experimental side. Over the years Queen trained their fans to expect the unexpected, to be surprised. That gave them so much freedom with their songwriting, and created for them a very devoted fan base.

    The middle A Cappella (not acoustic) section, as others have said, is Freddie singing into a tape machine with delay. That machine plays what he just sang and a second one plays after another delay. Both machines play while he is singing so he is singing with himself delayed twice, as you can hear in right and left. The fun part is when he sings "come here" then immediately sings "I You" so that in the playback you hear "come here, I hear you". This live delay is also how Brian does his solo in Brighton Rock. Brian's dream could have been when he was very sick with meningitis before the Sheer Heart Attack album, but didn't write the song until the next one. He apparently wrote She Makes Me ( Stormtroopers in Stilletos) during that time, another rather trippy Brian May song.

    • @HAP3SPEAKZ
      @HAP3SPEAKZ  4 года назад

      Thanks for your comment. I can hear switching between both ears heavily in this one. Yes at the end of my video I do clear that up and say acappella. Oddly I haven't heard that song you mentioned either. Thanks for the analysis and breakdown. Somebody did mention it was Freddie singing with himself. But you have added a little more depth related to the "I you" segment. I wonder if that was by accident and the band discovered it in the studio.

    Brian May wrote this song!! In the early years were four about the first five to seven years Brian and Freddie Mercury used to write most of the song but by about 1979 or 1980 they were all 4 writing like mad. John Deacon was the Dark Horse and quiet but he could come out of nowhere like a madman with a number one hit.

    I think this song was quite prophetic (no pun intended!!😃) . Think of our current situation and the fact that close human contact is currently being frowned upon. The 2 lines that stand out most clearly to me are "These kings of beasts now counting their days" , "And death all around will be your Dow'ry". I know that Brian spent some time in Arizona being treated for severe depression. I have often wondered if the tribal/spiritual influences of the area had any impact on his writing of this song. I'm not certain at what point in time he was in Arizona (before or after this was written).

    I would like to see your reaction to ''Spread your wings'' - written by John Deacon (1977), beautiful song, a fan favorite song that was never a hit.
    The video was filmed in Roger’s backyard garden in the freezing cold. The ground was covered in snow and ice, and the band was noticeably uncomfortable. During the shoot, the ice and snow on the ground complicated matter. Freddie and Roger both have their gloves on while Brian and John's fingers are falling off. :). John sneeze and he touches his nose to wipe off the drop
    Roger said that Freddie was drunk while filming this. You can see that he barely could stand. At some point Freddie almost fell down in the snow (you can see it in the alternative takes). He was celebrating buying his first car, a Rolls, and continued to drink during shooting.
    (check this out: ( ''Queen - Spread Your Wings (Remastered Audio 2011)''. And please do also ''Spread your wings (making of & alternative takes)'' it's a very short video, just 1:37 but very, very funny. You'll enjoy it.

    Awesome! Totally another gem of their genius! There so many underrated songs, its just tragic! In this song, there are also veiled references to Noah's Ark, such as the subject of storms, "two by two my human zoo", "running for to come out of the rain", "return like the white dove." By the way, aside from the guitar, they also played a toy Japanese koto (another string instrument) in the intro and finale. Queen was greatly influenced by Japan during their first tour there in 1974.

    Again, Hap - you got this - I've heard it described as as Brian's "Bohemian Rhapsody" - I guess in a way, not inaccurate - you probably noticed the very end of the song leads directly into "Love of my Life" - that was a feature on Queen albums in the day - NO space between songs.. I had (and still have) pretty much all the vinyl -

I was going to ask that you do Brian's song, '39' aout a space exploration journey with touching lyrics, which includes references to the Einstein's theory of relativity - [ if you travel in space to near the seed of light time passes much slower to you than the people you left behind and the ramifications of that ] - when he wrote it he was thinking of the style of song that might have been written in the 1800's when sailing trips around the world took months or years to complete and that the people back home wouldn't know if you were coming back... when or if... yet another 'style' more simple folk song-y - Please do the album version (that would be the Queen Official lyrics version on YT. it's Brian singing, so you get to appreciate him solo, not just back up &guitar - and since you like and have acknowledged Roger's voice, he has a very high etherial section in this song, right after first break, '39'... higher than in Borap... :) Brian has a soothing 'quieter' vocal tone - (you hear/see him sing at the beginning of the'Who wants to live foever' music video, also)

    ya man, Amazing Song and Great Reaction. The most things and facts were already said so I'll just say one thing where I don't know if somebody told you yet. The ending of the Song was so subtle and nice because it would Transition to the next song in the album which was a big song Love of My Life. If you hear Love of my Life someday, you will definitely notice that Guitar from this song again :D. Queen always played with the panning thing but also with Transition to songs. They were amazing at both of these things. Look I don't know your plans or if you want to do this but I would be really happy, i think even most of your viewers would be happy. If you want to hear how amazing they were at transition to songs react to *_Queen - Ogre Battle / The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke / Nevermore (2011 Remaster + Lyrics)._* Yes that is a Video where the guy combined 3 Songs of Queen that were connected just like in the original Queen II album. The Official Queen channel failed to put in transitions so that video that I requested is one way where you'll notice their transitions. The Video also has the lyrics to the songs in it so you'll also have the lyrics in the video too then. The thing is I don't know if you would want to do this because you'll instantly react to 3 Songs and have to react them in one go but still giving your opinion separately if you understand. (the 3 songs combined are just 8 minutes JUST LIKE the Prophet Song where it is only 1 song 😂) You also can't pause between the switch to the next song because you watch that for the amazingness and the transitions so it would be weird pausing right in the transition😂. You'll notice by the video when the next song is showing up, but I'm sure you notice yourself when the one song ended and the other starts. But it isn't really hard to react to those 3 in one go and giving the opinion separate on each song. But as I said I don't know if you want to do it. IF Yes, then I give you some useful facts you have to know for each song before listening. Ogre Battle is just an *amazing* Rock Song and the rest you'll notice yourself, but The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke is one where I have to explain some stuff. The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke is a painting in a Museum in England which Freddie really loved, Freddie then has written a song with the same name and wow who would've thought, it is a Song explaining the Painting and whats on it 😂. Luckily the Guy who put together the transition Video also put the Painting in the Video so you can see what Freddie is referring to (unlike the official queen channel they also don't have that in it.) So it would be just perfect reacting to the Video with instantly the 3 songs. The song also has many amazing high notes by Freddie and Roger. Freddie sings the song in a higher way than he usually does which sounds great as always. The last song Nevermore is also just amazing and also instrumentally connected with The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke. Would be very cool if you react to the Video with those 3 songs in one ( the title of the video is *_Queen - Ogre Battle / The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke / Nevermore (2011 Remaster + Lyrics)._* )

      @@HAP3SPEAKZ Roger went to University to become a dentist. I think he got his degree in biology. John went to University to become an engineer. John made what is called the Deacy amp, which made an amazing sound that could not be duplicated. Sometime in the past 10 years John allowed them to take it apart to figure out what made it so special. John also ended up handling all the money. Although he is not involved with Queen anymore, he still keeps an eye on the money. Freddie went to University for art. They were all well educated which is one of the reasons, I think, they had so much confidence.
