I called this a " cover " then amended it by saying that calling it such was actually AN INSULT. Now I'll have to go back amend that by saying that it was a cover was MY insult.
There's no time for us There's no place for us What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever Oh ooo oh There's no chance for us It's all decided for us This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever Ooh Who dares to love forever Oh oo woh, when love must die But touch my tears with your lips Touch my world with your fingertips And we can have forever And we can love forever Forever is our today Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever Forever is our today Who waits forever anyway?
They capture the sadness of an immortal who desperately wants to love but cant bear the inevitable loss yet again that Freddie conveyed in the original performance.
“There can be only one…” there is only one Highlander. This cover is epic and Freddie would have been amazed at the depths of raw emotion in their singing.
@@interestedbystander196, 🔵 FYI,.... Freddy didn't just "Sing it", Brian May WROTE the song FOR Freddy's voice!.... just like any composer writes 'to/for' the instruments that are being used in his piece.
This song is never boring and I sing it quite often. Never get sick of their voices. Freddie did his own thing. They are not to be compared with. Each version is unique. 31 years since Fred has passed away and still going strong.
Never in my lifetime did I think I'd hear a version of this song that was anywhere near as powerful as the original. This totally nailed it. I got chills. Freddie would have LOVED this. I hope he's watching.
Don't you wonder, with as much as Freddie Mercury loved Opera if this isn't exactly how he pictured it? What a great job done by all involved in this video, The Tenors, Lindsey Stirling, everyone. Such a great tribute to music.
I agree! He was an entertainer (The Entertainer) and he would have loved this version, I'm quite sure. I would have loved to see Freddy play the part of a vampire. This song is fitting for that.
No, it was Freddie who sang it. It was written by Brian May, who only sang the beginning, on the album version. But the version in the film is entirely sung by Freddie. About Freddy Mercury, I don't really know, I don't know who he is 😁😂
This is beautiful, theatrical, romantic version of this song, Freddie most definitely would of loved a vampiric, operatic, dramatization of one his most treasured and heartfelt songs he left us.
Freddie would have LOVED this version. The theatrics.. the beauty.. It's beyond compare. For a haunting moment, I swear I heard Freddie's voice joining in.
I agree, good singing, though let's be fair...this isn't Freddie singing it and nobody could do it like he. Perhaps he did join in...he did believe in Ghost and spirits while alive...He and his family believed religion of Zoroastrianism. This is religion that helped create today's main 3 religions. Thus, he also believed he wouldn't die after death.
This is magnificent, performed by superb voices, as a "Gothic Opera" Freddie would have loved this, he had an operatic range and also loved the genre. His scale was unlimited.
This song, so hauntingly beautiful. Never did I ever think of the pain and anguish that this song conveys. My late husband and I both loved Highlander so much. And now that he is gone, I understand the heartache, and pain and loss this song conveys.
I lost my Beloved 5.5 years ago - we loved all of Queen's music & Highlander... This is a steller tribute to Freddie's music that expresses the limitless pain of such loss as a Soul Mate... Thank you for sharing your exquisite gift!
@@desraebrown683 Yes! And I've heard and performed in all manner of truly beautiful choral pieces - but there is some little piece of perfection in this that I've never come across before.
I love the original version of this song, but this interpretation is exquisite. I don't see a need to compare Queen to The Tenors. They simply created a beautiful interpretation of a Queen classic. I listen to this and close my eyes and allow the emotion to flow. It's amazing what music can do.
I hope The Tenors read this comment. I am 43 years old. I remember being introduced to this song with the release of the movie Highlander in the 80s when it was first released. You guys should be damn proud. I bet my life on it that Freddie Mercury is looking down on yall with tears of joy over this masterpiece. No you didn't surpass Queens version and no the original didn't surpass yours. You both are equals. I can now say I have heard a cover that is in par with the original. Thank you so much for this.
@@robertpalmer3909 if you think that is copying, you're obviously bloody death. It's not even slightly similar to what Queen did. Other than the fact it's the same vocals and it's a bit operatic.
The visuals were beautifully imagined... the vocals were spot on..... the harmonies like a buffet for the ears. This would make Freddie Mercury proud. His legacy of beauty lives on.
This is a masterpiece! Just as the original was. I can almost hear Freddie Mercury applauding The Tenors. Now close your eyes, and just imagine outliving everyone and everything you ever loved, being immortal, watching it all fade away while you just exist, forever.
My personal favourite version of this amazing song . Thank you Freddy Mercury for the creation of it . The Tenors and Lindsey Stirling are unbelievably talented . It brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it . Stirring .
Every time I come across this, I have to listen again. These voices do justice to the beautiful piece of music, Freddy Mercury made come to life. A hauntingly beautiful version and Lindsey Stirling's violin takes it to new heights. Freddy would be pleased.
Oh he would have wanted to maybe even back this as some kind of Opera where are some of his other songs could have been created into this moving through the centuries type of thing with these guys and maybe they meet her in different time periods and then they end up all singing at the end they kill themselves because she is a vampiress Who somehow gets killed or something like that maybe she's the one who turned them into vampires OG that would be really cool yeah he really likes Showmanship he was figure on it then Liberace his was not goofy like liberace's he definitely made you feel liberated Liberace made you feel squeamish sorry
I find the breaking Benjamin version more akin to the original, with a slightly different tone. This is okay, I think better without the interruptions to the song for Lindsey's solos.
I've been a Queen fan for about 40 yrs, I'll always be. They did this cover with extreme class. I'd like to think of Freddie heard it played this way, he'd give his approval!!
A beautiful Violin playing maiden, 4 gorgeous tenor singing Vampires in a hauntingly surreal setting? Sounds like another perfect Lindsay Sterling video
Gentle hugs, truly sorry for your loss. I'm coming up on the fifth anniversary of my mom's death, the next week will be rough, I grieve with you. May the pain transform over time into a soft film of love over the many memories you made with her, and may you always feel her beside you and in your heart.💖
Beautifully done guys. Every time I heard this and will hear it. It will never get old for me. Even though I played Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod for 400 years.
As I write this, it's what would've been Freddie Mercury's 74th birthday. I have watched this video TONS of times and can't help but think that Freddie would LOVE this rendition of 1 of Queen's most beautiful songs!! It's truly stupendous!! The Tenors featuring Lindsey Stirling on this is a masterpiece!!! Happy Birthday, Freddie!!! You were 1 of music's best!!!
Freddie was wonderful but actually Brian May is the original singer of this song, included in the soundtrack of Highlander. Christopher Lambert/Sean Connery. Bad Movie. Great music.
@@estelabaez8592 no it was a great film with great music! If the film wasn't your cup of tea I can accept your point of view but I loved that film and Queen is still one of my favourite bands of all time.
The part that hit me most was the balance! No one overpowered each other. The vocals are tight, the musicianship is really extraordinary. Thank you so much for using your amazing gifts!
Well actually Victor overpowers them at the end. He has such a powerful voice, sometimes I think he can't help it. But that's okay, they are all truly gifted. 💕 😇
It was Brian May who wrote the song though :p I love Queen and im a huge fan. But they were four members that worked together and i dont think the others get enough credit for it. I love them all equally.
This song comes from an Era of music that we may never again see. The tenors do justice to a masterpiece here, and Ms. Stirling compliments them amazingly.
I just love this rendition. It takes nothing away from the Queen version. The Tenors should find more songs to do in period dress. They have such beautiful voices. I have watched some of their other videos and I can see why they are making such a mark for themselves. More Please!!!
Honestly, I shed a few tears listening to this. It does the Queen version justice, as hearing that song always makes me cry. It was very beautiful imagery and I understand what they were trying to accomplish in this. I would love to see you guys perform this with the actual band, because I think it would be epic. To those who are leaving negative reviews or even worse, grow up. You are so used to the original thing, be it music or TV shows or the like, that you don't leave yourself with an open mind that it might actually be good. I believe that Freddie and the rest of Queen would (or do) like this if they were (or have) to see it.
Such a beautiful song by queen. And these guys voices bring it to life again. If only freddy could hear them. And that piano and beautiful violin. Wow wow wow.
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Hebrews 9;27. Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. Luke 13;24 Go ye through the strait gate, bec5wide is the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it...... Matthew 7:13 If he did not have a relationship with God then he will live forever in hell ..... tormented for eternity.
@@journeygirl4ever a powerful music video. i am not what you would call a fan of the vampire genre. But this music video is beautifully put together. It is just sad that one of the guys has left the group now.
OMGOSH! How the heck did I miss this?? There's something about this period of dress, the style of the 17th, 18th centuries that I simply adore... Combined with their incredible voices. I'm in Heaven. 😇
I think the Tenors did an amazing job with this song. They were not trying to make a "remake" of the song . But make their own omage to Queen. And they did just that. ❤
This is by far the most cinematic music video that I have seen. Now I want to see an entire musical movie based on this video, even though I know how it's going to end. Absolutely stupendous.The roles suit each tenor perfectly. The storyline is a clincher.❤❤😢
This has got to be the sexiest cover of a Queen song ever, particularly the guy with the southern European sounding opera voice wearing the hat. Oh. My. God. I want a full-length movie.
I'm not usually all that impressed by covers, but this one hit me in the feels. It's a great tribute to Freddy Mercury and Queen at it's high, as well as to a great movie but also a work of art in it's own right. I simply love the whole look and feel.
I have to say, I have a very deep attachment to this song, it was played at a very difficult time in my life and all of the emotion that goes with it was amplified by the angelic harmony in this rendition. I think Freddie would have been proud that they covered this song
I'd totally watch a movie with these guys in a vampire opera like a Interview with a Vampire meets Phantom of the Opera type style. Gorgeous and talented.
lelomaquina69 it may not be opera, but he did make an album with queen called Night at the Opera. He would have loved this version as well as the one that was originally made. So it may not be opera and I just got off topic, but yes he would have loved this theatrical style of the song as it has the feeling of Opera.
"...when love must die~!" Oh gosh I get shivers every time I hear that line. It's just so perfectly, brilliantly sung with so much emotion in four words.
I have never been so moved. The video was so amazing and their incredible voices. More people need to be aware of their incredible talent. What a blessing to be able to hear and see this video
This is just Lovely. Let's never lose the thought of Brian May sitting in a cab in the rain, writing the first lines of this song. Because of his enormous talent, we have this beautiful song.
I’m the most fervent Queen fan there is and this is so beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes and gave me chills just like Freddie does. I truly believe Freddie would love this. The music, use of many instruments, the harmonizing of voices. Glorious
The balls it takes to cover a fredfie master piece, well done and you guys have the balls, well done. Not many can cover freddie and pull it off. I had to hear it to belive it, i am a believer, well done. Freddie would bow to this.
I normally don't comment, besides the comments that everyone else has stated. I would also like to add that the videography is absolutely awesome. I would much rather see a vampire movie like this than seeing one with sparkles any day.
In my most humble opinion, Freddie Mercury would be quite impressed with this version. He was an amazing showman who loved music and performing and embraced the essence of the music and put his heart and soul in each and every note to show the rest of the world the beauty that he saw in it. I love music and many different genres- this particular version of this beautiful song shows that so many things in life can be in harmony if we just allow it to happen and enjoy the show. Well done, Tenors! And Linsey as well- your mastery of your instrument is a gift for the world. Keep making beautiful music, everyone!💕
I’m sorry, but this is a masterpiece, cinematically and vocally just breathtaking
Very well put!
@@rhondabrown1471 Poetry, pure poetry. If you don't feel anything from this, you don't have a soul.
You don't have to be sorry. It's alright if you like it. Did you see the original "Highlander"?
Definitely better than any of the damn sequels.
One word... Amazing!
40 years later and this song is still driving new hearts to cry . The tenors and Lindsey knocked it out of the ballpark.
I called this a " cover " then amended it by saying that calling it such was actually AN INSULT. Now I'll have to go back amend that by saying that it was a cover was MY insult.
💕
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Oh ooo oh
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Ooh
Who dares to love forever
Oh oo woh, when love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
To me the greatest thing about this version of the song is Lindsey Stirling on violin. Her violin skills are a gift to the world.
They do Freddie justice. Best cover I've ever heard.
They capture the sadness of an immortal who desperately wants to love but cant bear the inevitable loss yet again that Freddie conveyed in the original performance.
to have Loved and lost is better than to have never known true Love! Love dies only to be Reborn
“There can be only one…” there is only one Highlander. This cover is epic and Freddie would have been amazed at the depths of raw emotion in their singing.
This is Brian May's song. Freddie just sang it.
Just rewatched Highlander -great movie
He would have loved the passion of this version.

@@joshhayl7459 True enough. But then _all_ of the Queen songs were written for Freddie's voice...
This will be played at my funeral, yes I LOVE Queen and Freddie, but this is more suitable for the occasion.
I understand this exactly. My funeral will be small but just how I want it to be.
0:20 Bach
Живи и радуйся жизни!!!
This was played at my sisters funeral, a Humanist celebration of her life with music by both Queen and Evanessence (I might have spelt that wrong!)
Oh Brian May! You wrote a brilliant song. Oh The Tenors, you sang the song brilliantly. Oh Lindsey Sterling….you are simply brilliant!
Right? Very simply put. Thank you.
@@n2tigers99 It's ART & Drama. With magic.
It takes several guys to replace one Freddy Mercury.
The song is heartbreaking and this version and the video is so so beautiful.
@@doroparker1702 I reiterate - It's ART.
This is truly a classic rendition of a beautiful and poignant song.
Freddie once said “Do whatever you want with my music but don’t make it boring”, I think he’d be happy with this.
OMG! I have always loved this song. More so now.
Idem

I agree! He was an entertainer (The Entertainer) and he would have loved this version, I'm quite sure. I would have loved to see Freddy play the part of a vampire. This song is fitting for that.
He would have loved it im sure of it, and probably Roger Taylor and Brian May
Wonderful indeed, I can't express my feelings how touched I am. Magnific

Same!
you're not the only one
No one mentions Brian May, he wrote this beautiful song. It's a timeless classic.
It's Brian's song, any Queen fan knows and loves him for it. We're still here Freddy.
Well ✔ done chills 👏 great focus
Ho yes
I was thinking the same thing. Ty, Brian, for such a lovely piece of music!
He sang it too
Oh my gosh that was breathtaking
A perfect example of how a song can be done in many different ways, and all of them can be beautiful. Seriously moved me to tears.
“You can do what you want with my music, remake it, resell it but never make me boring."
- Freddie Mercury
"I want to lead the Victorian life, surrounded by exquisite clutter."
Actual FM quote. I think this vid pretty much does that for him.
@Adin Silajdzija Freddie*
Amen!
@Adin Silajdzija Dude, he isn't saying it's bad...
He never said remake it or re-sell it but ok.
Honestly, I shed a few tears listening to this. It does the Queen version justice, as hearing that song always makes me cry. It was very beautiful imagery and I understand what they were trying to accomplish in this. I would love to see you guys perform this with the actual band, because I think it would be epic.
To those who are leaving negative reviews or even worse, grow up. You are so used to the original thing, be it music or TV shows or the like, that you don't leave yourself with an open mind that it might actually be good.
I believe that Freddie and the rest of Queen would (or do) like this if they were (or have) to see it.
Me too☝️
Such a beautiful song by queen. And these guys voices bring it to life again. If only freddy could hear them. And that piano and beautiful violin. Wow wow wow.
This is the BEST cover of this song EVER. Freddie is looking down from above and clapping furiously every time someone plays it!
Believe you are exactly right ,,,,,,,love this song !!!! Bravo to these guys !!!!!
Shit, fuck, bollocks, how have I missed this? Full ferking stop!
I like the Opera version
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Hebrews 9;27.
Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. Luke 13;24
Go ye through the strait gate, bec5wide is the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it...... Matthew 7:13
If he did not have a relationship with God then he will live forever in hell ..... tormented for eternity.
Ad he is loving the wardrobe too! He'd have loved to done this video.
This song has always made me tear up. But this version is in my small opinion the best cover version I have heard. The video is great too.
I am obsessed with this version. I love the vampires! So heartbreaking though!
@@journeygirl4ever a powerful music video. i am not what you would call a fan of the vampire genre. But this music video is beautifully put together. It is just sad that one of the guys has left the group now.
@@janetthomson6815 I agree, Im not into vampires either but it just TOTALLY FIT this song/video!! They're amazing!!
Beautiful presentation. I’m brought to tears also.
I am a purist when it comes to Queen, but this version is truly worthy of praise! Beautiful!
This is a masterpiece. Freddie must be proud ❤
Adding Linsey Sterling to this was genius. A magical rendition of a powerful song made better by a stunning and talented violinist.
Yes, pity you couldn't get her name right.
OMGOSH! How the heck did I miss this?? There's something about this period of dress, the style of the 17th, 18th centuries that I simply adore... Combined with their incredible voices.
I'm in Heaven.
😇
" A man who lives forever can never enjoy the moment and a man who lives in the moment can enjoy it forever."
I disagree with the first part of your statement. But I completely and wholeheartedly agree with the second part.
Absolutely Love this ❤ Would love to see Linsey in concert 😍
I have to believe that Freddie Mercury would have considered this a tribute to him, and would have enjoyed it immensely. Well done!
Whyy??? Brian May wrote it!
Definitely the greatest rendition of this iconic song to date. The tenors and Lindsey Stirling absolutely rock a great song.
Best cover.
Lindsey Sterling’s violin was an amazing addition to this wonderful tribute to Freddie.
This is stunning! Gives me Chills. Freddy would've loved this!
My God this is so dramatic...
I love it!!
I think the Tenors did an amazing job with this song. They were not trying to make a "remake" of the song . But make their own omage to Queen. And they did just that. ❤
Every time I hear this song. No matter who does it. All I think of is HIGHLANDER.
That would be correct.
Same :)
1978 32 same!
1978 32 Me too.
SAME!
This is by far the most cinematic music video that I have seen. Now I want to see an entire musical movie based on this video, even though I know how it's going to end. Absolutely stupendous.The roles suit each tenor perfectly. The storyline is a clincher.❤❤😢
This has got to be the sexiest cover of a Queen song ever, particularly the guy with the southern European sounding opera voice wearing the hat. Oh. My. God. I want a full-length movie.
Aileen Harkwood I agree! Love the group! The one is top hat is Victor. I could listen to him and Remigio (the one holding the torch) all day!
You had better get in the queue then lol!
The first time I showed this to my mom and Victor started singing she legit said "Oooh! That one! I'll take one of him."
Me too. OMG. They look so hot. The guy with the top hat and the other taller long dark hair. They all would have been good on "The Originals"
Same!😂😂😂
I'm not usually all that impressed by covers, but this one hit me in the feels. It's a great tribute to Freddy Mercury and Queen at it's high, as well as to a great movie but also a work of art in it's own right. I simply love the whole look and feel.
@Daniel Appleton beautifully expressed
His name was FREDDIE.
@@przytulanka1979 I stand corrected, but i think we can all agree there was only one lead singer for Queen.
Stfu...
I have to say, I have a very deep attachment to this song, it was played at a very difficult time in my life and all of the emotion that goes with it was amplified by the angelic harmony in this rendition.
I think Freddie would have been proud that they covered this song
This was soooo powerful. Freddie would be smiling. 🙏
I cry every time I watch this video. Which is a lot. Such a beautiful rendition of a powerful song. Bravo.
How are you doing 😊
I'd totally watch a movie with these guys in a vampire opera like a Interview with a Vampire meets Phantom of the Opera type style. Gorgeous and talented.
I definitely got twilight vibes of this video. And that is about as bad as it gets.
Not vampire immortal warriors ok one was a vapire
ABsoLUTEly❣
Given Freddie's love of opera and that vocal sound, he would have loved this.
This ain't opera, not even close
lelomaquina69 it may not be opera, but he did make an album with queen called Night at the Opera. He would have loved this version as well as the one that was originally made. So it may not be opera and I just got off topic, but yes he would have loved this theatrical style of the song as it has the feeling of Opera.
@@Infernus11234 so?
ruclips.net/video/ERD4CbBDNI0/видео.html
@@bigdickenergysince1776 ❤Maybe George Michael would done something awesome there.
An absolute masterpiece!
Our Freddie could only be dancing in paradise hearing this, the instruments, the voices, pure magic!
Just viewed..Wow!!..beautiful tenor voices on their own, when they harmonize..exquisite!!
"...when love must die~!" Oh gosh I get shivers every time I hear that line. It's just so perfectly, brilliantly sung with so much emotion in four words.
L❤ve never dies she's stronger then death🙃
You are so right...i can't breathe
I have never been so moved. The video was so amazing and their incredible voices. More people need to be aware of their incredible talent. What a blessing to be able to hear and see this video
Just beautiful. The voices, the violin, the entire video was
stunning.
This is just Lovely. Let's never lose the thought of Brian May sitting in a cab in the rain, writing the first lines of this song. Because of his enormous talent, we have this beautiful song.
And singing the opening verse. Its what makes Freddie's opening of the second verse so powerful.
@@spikedee1538 you're so right, Brian sets it up for Freddie, together they kill it
And a rocket scientist at that! 🤓
@@spikedee1538
Nothing against Brians singing but Freddies version for the film and live doesnt lack anything without Brian
It isnt less good
А никто и не забывает.
Все фанаты QUEEN в курсе, что это шедевр Брайана.
И дай Бог ему долгие лета и здравия.
The emotion this brings up in me is almost too much to handle. I'm so in love with this. Thank you for such beauty.
Exactly 💙
I already LOVE this! AWESOME guys, musicians, ALL of t!
I agree wholeheartedly with those that say Freddie would have loved this cover. Brilliantly done. Bravo!
Absolutely beautiful. You can actually feel the pain in the song.
I’m the most fervent Queen fan there is and this is so beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes and gave me chills just like Freddie does. I truly believe Freddie would love this. The music, use of many instruments, the harmonizing of voices.
Glorious
The balls it takes to cover a fredfie master piece, well done and you guys have the balls, well done. Not many can cover freddie and pull it off. I had to hear it to belive it, i am a believer, well done. Freddie would bow to this.
For sure
A dramatic interpretation of Queen's beautiful composition. So happy I found this and more of The Tenor's music.
This is brilliant! I agree Freddie would indeed have loved this.
I normally don't comment, besides the comments that everyone else has stated. I would also like to add that the videography is absolutely awesome. I would much rather see a vampire movie like this than seeing one with sparkles any day.
it reminds me veeeeeery much (and I guess it's been inspired by it) of interview with a vampire..
@@SaravonKrolock81 Freddie is smiling from the Great Beyond.
Agreed 💯!
É praticamente um trailer de um filme de vampiros e amores perdidos no tempo, simplesmente perfeito .
the best music video ever. the song! i love to sing along.
In my most humble opinion, Freddie Mercury would be quite impressed with this version. He was an amazing showman who loved music and performing and embraced the essence of the music and put his heart and soul in each and every note to show the rest of the world the beauty that he saw in it. I love music and many different genres- this particular version of this beautiful song shows that so many things in life can be in harmony if we just allow it to happen and enjoy the show. Well done, Tenors! And Linsey as well- your mastery of your instrument is a gift for the world. Keep making beautiful music, everyone!💕
