This is such a beautiful song. Brian wouldn't let anyone else touch this song after Freddie had died because he said he knew exactly how Freddie wanted this song to be. I have a hard time not getting teary whenever I hear it when Brian comes in and does the last verse. The beauty of this is that Freddie sort of got the meaning of life as he got to the end, that being that unconditional love is what really matters all the rest is just the glitter and the noise. The baby crying (in my opinion) is because when we are looking at the end, we all want that touch of our mother that we had when we were born and when we were so small. That safe and loving place where we know only peace. It took me a bit to warm up to Adam Lambert but as I heard him do a few Queen songs, I realized he was not trying to be Freddie or in any way imitate Freddie, he sings the songs his way and they are actually beautiful. I appreciate that Adam has enabled Queen music to be delivered to a couple more generations and that is a wonderful thing. Imagine if you never heard Queen what you would be missing and so it goes for all the others too.
Well said dear!! Yes, Adam Lambert is another God-given talent to be appreciated, not hated... he never has tried to be Freddie's 'replacement'... yet he does Freddies' music justice... keeping it beautiful and true... Thank you and blessings to you and yours...
The shooting of those people are heart breaking, too much evil in the world. Thanks for the reaction of Freddie's last song. Freddie left before the last verse he wasn't feeling well, he never returned. Brian sang the last verse.
If you hear the ending...it's all songs Queen did back to the first recording Freddie did as Larry lurex "I think I'm going back to things I learnt so well in my youth" then the baby crying as back to his birth. Its from death to birth.
You can hear the raw emotion in Brian’s voice as he sings the final verse that Freddie couldn’t finish. It’s a very sad song but Freddie gave it all he had and it has a haunting beauty to it. Great reactions!
“CHILLING” … Roger said of Freddie’s vocals. Brian said, “Freddie would say ‘give me words, I will sing’ .. so there I was writing on scraps of paper these lines of Mother Love. I would give him a line, he would sing it, then sing it again, then sing it again - so we only had three takes of everything.” 😭😭
Before the ending you can hear the beginning of One Vision (Freddie saying "God works in mysterious ways" with a distorted voice), then Freddie and the crowd in the Live Aid, then those lot of strange sounds being played very fast are every song of Queen, but only a few milliseconds and then the song Going Back, which was a song Freddie did a cover under the name of Larry Lurex before all the Queen albums.
This is one of those songs where Brian remarks “he kept saying, give me words, just give me words to sing.” And Brian did. It is about Freddie, and all hope was gone. In the end Freddie stops all the medications, they weren’t helping and he’d made his peace. Love the album cover shot. I also recommend Goin’ back. Such a Carole king song & Freddie’s vocals are angelic. Yea sorry, Adam ain’t it IMO. I’m happy that Brian & Roger get to continue playing live, but I’ve got no interest.
Maybe not the best lyrics to give someone who knows he's dying but wants to keep making music as long as he can, it was the only thing keeping him going Think I'm strong but all hope has gone I know Roger and Brian wanting to think about themselves and there career and concentrate on solo work They could have concentrated on Freddie when he needed them
@@bluebell3720 you know Freddie was sitting beside Brian, helping him write the lyrics discarding any lyric he didnt want in the song. He just couldn't physically write, Brian has always written songs FOR freddie putting himself in Freddie's shoes. Show must go on, Save me, Fat bottomed girls. I promise you they both knew Freddie better than your random ass and knew what he wanted.He confided in them, they know when his hope had left him, they both were impacted by his death more than you will ever know, it drew Brian to commit suicide till the point he had to check himself in a clinic coz he had kids at home. Do everyone a favour and do shut up. Stop projecting bad faith just because you hate Brian and Roger, you just come across as extremely bitter and nothing else
I have tried repeatedly to watch QAL performances and in their early days I managed a few but in the last few years I cannot. Like others I am glad new generations are listening to Queen and indeed Freddie seems as well revered now as back in the day. AL has an amazing voice but no one has Freddie’s phrasing, nor the humanity I hear in the timbre of his voice and most certainly not the athleticism of his stage presence. Not sure I can do him justice but I will try …… It was as if you take all the very finest premium grade ingredients mixed with a bit of gravel, the humour of eccentricity & reality that made Freddie jaw droppingly amazing. You reaction was similar to mine … that heart sink when Brian starts to sing … almost as if it was a shock that the reality of his death hit you despite the fact you were aware he died over 30 years ago! I read someone else felt Winters Tale was a better last song to remember him by and whilst I agree with that, I also know that the truth of him letting go was this acceptance stage in his demise. He was a very brave and dignified man 👑❤️👑❤️👑
This song was the last Freddie sung. He sung it in 1991 and it was released in 1995 in the album Made In Heaven. It was written by him and Brian. He sang every line 3 times and they would take the best, but he couldn't sing the last part, so Brian had to sing it.
Time to check out " You take my breath away" studio version. And then check out Freddie singing opera duets with Spanish opera singer Monsterrat Cabballet. Barcelona How can I go on Ensueno The Golden boy
The baby at the end was symbolising rebirth. Don’t have to react to Lambert, but still plenty of Queen tracks that are awesome you haven’t got to yet - try Millionaire Waltz for a starter! So so good
Oh Cash dear, NEVER be apologetic for being emotional!! That just shows you are human... And, after all is said and done, isn't that truly why we love Queen so much, because they show us the emotional sides of ourselves... master manipulators of emotions!! All the more reason the world NEEDS more Queen today, to show the world what being human is all about!! You cannot appreciate the love in the world without seeing the darkness also... If you go back and listen to the very first "Freddie" song released to the public, it wasn't Freddie. It was Larry Lurex. "Goin' Back" and "I Can Hear Music" were Freddie's intro to the world of music(he was asked to test ut their new equipment at Trident Studios, so Freddie taped a couple of songs), and they are doozies! Then, you will understand the references to the baby crying in "Mother Love"... Bless you dear, you are one-of-a-kind also!! Thank you so much for being you!
Beautiful and heartfelt reaction. Thank you. Freddie belts out an unbelievable note in the 2nd verse. That beautiful voice stayed with him to the end. I'm like you, I don't care for Adam Lambert singing Freddie's songs. I saw one act where he came out wearing a crown! OMG! I hated that! No one can replace Freddie, nor are they worthy of wearing the crown. Nothing against Lambert, he's a good singer, just don't like him doing Freddie.
OMG. when are you people going to give Adam a break. He didn’t kill Freddie. If you don’t like him, don’t go and don’t listen. I have always been a huge Freddie fan, but he died 30 years ago and Brian and Roger want to carry on and Adam is fantastic. The “new group” is filling arenas all over the world and making fans happy. Give it up and let it rest.
Freddie refused his "treatments" at the end. Who could blame him? They were worthless. 6 months later the right treatment was available. My heart breaks! : (
The photo is of the statue of Freddie in Montreaux Switzerland. Their museum is located there. My daughter and I are planning to vacation there and visit the statue and museum. I always enjoy your reactions.
I'm an 80's Lady & I cry WHENEVER I listen to Queen, 😭😭😭😭😭... It's such a tragedy that Freddy died at the time that he did. His death had such a devastating impact on the WORLD. Not only did his family and bandmates suffer from the loss of the Legend that he is. But, his loss impacts those of you youngsters that discover Freddy/Queen and I appreciate your reactions.
Adam Lambert will tell you himself that there is only one Freddie Mercury, but Roger and Brian approached him about performing together after they heard him sing back around 2008. Brian and Roger really enjoy performing classic Queen songs and there is an audience who wants to hear the songs since they have been selling out stadiums. When they did the tribute concert, they had to got several singers to perform the songs because their catalog is so eclectic, nobody could sing all of their songs, but Brian and Roger found that Adam could sing all the different genres of Queen music. Brian and Roger have been having fun visiting arenas that they played years ago and Adam has said that he’s happy that he’s able to perform the classic songs and he enjoys hearing stories from Brian and Roger about the first time they were at a particular venue. Brian and Roger are very happy that they found Adam. Brian said in the documentary The Show Must Go On that many bands break up but if you are lucky enough to find that magic, you should hold onto it and he said they’ve been lucky that they have found that magic twice now.
what does that have to do with this song? Does the QUAL singer need it so much now? Do Brian May and Roger Taylor now need it to advertise their QUAL tour?
The singing kept Freddie alive a little longer. I've walked too long in this lonely lane I've had enough of this same old game I'm a man of the world and they say that I'm strong But my heart is heavy, and my hope is gone
This always makes me feel sad. But I really feel for Brian May to be strong for Freddie. Brian had to finish the song. 👑Need to A Winters Tale last song Freddie wrote.
The final song co-written by Freddie & Brian, recorded May 13 - 16, 1991. Freddie was too ill to ever return to the studio but Brian finished it. The band lovingly finished it and released it in 1995. This experience emotionally broke Brian who fell into a depression. But Brian and Roger pay heavy tribute to Freddie in their current Queen concerts. Queen lives on an on!
It means so much to us die hard Freddie fans that you are so tender when you talk about him. Freddie cannot ever be replaced. He was a super legend that did things his way and he succeeded perfectly. Rest in peace and in love my beloved Freddie. You will live Forever in our hearts. ❤😪❤😪❤
Thirty years Freddie's been gone . . .not many more years and these last lyrics Freddie sang will have been promoted to imply he was looking backward to the peace that was his Mother's womb. Throughout his life he looked forward totally - only looking back for inspiration to take us forward...peaceful, loving habits; beauty in sight and sound and appreciation for loving experiences. Research, read what Freddie said about the incomparable love Mary Austin gave him. "Mother Love" lyrics written by Freddie do not reference his birth Mother.
All this senseless violence literally makes me sick. My heart aches for every single person that was brutally murdered in the supermarket mass shooting on May 14th in Buffalo, New York, and the families and friends that they left behind. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 May those that were injured, yet survived this horrific attack have a speedy recovery. This is a beautiful track. The background of this clip shows a bronze statue of the late, great Freddie Mercury facing Lake Geneva, in Montreux, Switzerland. Unveiled in 1996, it's located near Freddie's house, where he made his last album.
Baby crying at the end: death & rebirth, the cruel cycle of nature - that kind of thing. Symbolism inserted as silver lining as well as to point out how natural death actually is. The seagulls are there because Freddie's favorite place was lake Geneva's shores where he also died.
Freddie was too il to complete the vocals on Mother Love , So Brian May sang and completed the last verse , Freddie said in many interviews I don’t want too be old bones,this is before he new he was HIV , attended many Queen concerts in the 70s and 80s they Were absolutely amazing live and always gel well as performers, best band ever !
Freddie sang as much as he did here from May 13-16, 1991 at their studio in Montreaux, Switzerland. Brian says Freddie was too ill to continue that day & planned to come back to finish it. That never happened. But as another comment below points out, he DID film the video "These Are The Days Of Our Lives' afterwards on May 30, 1991 in London, England. And you've seen how worn out he looks there.
First praying for all the families that lost loved ones an friends so sad 😢 an this song is so beautiful an so hurtful my heart breaks for Freddie my eyes fill with tears lord just not fair ! But I know he's with you 💯💋💫👑♾️🥀💛💛💛💛💛🤍
Yeah this damn song is hard. When it was released I remember eagerly listening to Freddie's last songs (yet they found some more....yay) and this (as I said) damn song.... I had to go be alone for a while after hearing it. Especially when I realized it was Brian finishing it.
If you hear the ending...it's all songs Queen did back to the first recording Freddie did as Larry lurex "I think I'm going back to things I learnt so well in my youth" then the baby crying as back to his birth. Its from death to birth.
Another great reaction the end represents the beginning with "going back" the first song queen recorded. You should / must react to it. It's the queen loop once you hear freddie's last song you back to the beginning.
Great, thanks! I think this is all a bit too new to you to consider reacting to Q+AL and that's alright... Let it soak into your bones and consciousness a few more years. But also, try to imagine what Brian & Roger had to overcome to keep themselves let alone their love of Freddie and Queen alive. The keyboard player for this band, Spike Edney, started playing with Queen in '84 to free Freddie from sitting at the piano. For a long time Roger's son was the 2nd drummer, and now it's a guy who played in their musical "We Will Rock You" for several years. Did you know there's a musical? LOL! SO Much To Enjoy!! You'll get to Adam one day. Imagine the position HE''s in - everyone comparing him to their beloved Freddie... his voice is versatile and his range is amazing, he works really hard and Bri & Rog love him like a baby brother so it's sweet to see their music live to this day - 50 years later! Crazy.
Adam does respect Freddie and honors him. He is not trying to take Freddie's place, no one could. But he does a decent job to keep the legendary music alive.
Beautiful reaction to a beautiful song it’s always heartbreaking to watch this one try the prophet song next amazing song it will blow you away take care and thank you x x
Brian & Roger enjoy playing & performing. They have performed with a couple others , billed as “Queen +” whoever. As Taylor Hawkins said “You can’t keep those Lamborginis in the garage”, referring to Roger & Brian. There are many new younger fans, and they enjoy hearing/discovering Queen music. It’s a personal choice. Even Adam says “There’s only ONE Freddie Mercury!” Also… so much tragedy & unjust hate in the world. Buffalo is just tragic 🥲
I enjoyed your reaction to Mother Love.. Freddie’s last song. I’ve watched many different interviews made by Brian and Roger about this time period.. and how they all struggled through it, with their Dear Freddie. They wanted to honor his wishes to keep pushing forward with songs.. until he could no longer. I’ve also watched many interviews they’ve given about how they found Adam.. and how he’s given them (Roger and Brian) the opportunity to continue to tour and sing their songs.. Freddie’s songs. Without Adam.. they wouldn’t be able to do so. They knew Freddie very well.. they’ve both said Freddie would want his music to continue.. just to never be boring, and Adam isn’t boring. Adam has always honored Freddie; never tried to imitate him.. just do justice to the amazing songs he wrote. All of the performers at the Freddie tribute concert admitted that none of them could have sung but a couple of Freddie’s songs (in the same key Freddie sang them) Adam can sing them all. He has an amazing voice.. if you haven’t already, you should react (or at least listen) to his tribute to Cher at the Kennedy Honors. I think you’d like it! Thanks again for a heartfelt reaction.
I am with you, can't stand Lambert ! don't understand what do these 2 (Brian & Roger) were thinking by having Lambert as a lead singer?? more destroying Queen reputation than anything else Freddie wouldn't approve it totally understand why John Deacon doesn't want to have anything to do with what is happening to Queen today
He did three takes on each line,thats all he could do,couldnt finish last verse,didnt feel well,said he would come back and finish it but never did,he died,Brian finished it the last verse for him
You handled that exceptionally well. It is a hard song to listen to when knowing all the facts about it. It is beautiful, though. You definitely have a ton of Original Queen and Freddie ( and others ) solo stuff that you don't have to worry about Adam right now. Still think you need to do Dancer or other songs from Hot Space. I think you'd like it a lot cuz it's just so different. Delilah would be a fun reaction also. Quirky!
Brian wrote this song. I think Im the only one who dislikes this It was the last song he sang My woman gives me mother love Sorry but I find that weird Say Im strong but my heart is heavy my hope has gone Giving these lyrics to someone who's dying and has shown such strength to carry on. Freddie had just wrote and sang winters tale, very simple but beautiful He was still able to see and appreciate the beauty around him with no bitterness Im choosing to see that as his last song
Have you seen the video of Brian's 1992 song called 'Resurrection'? Something is iffy about Brian around the time Freddie was sick and esp after Freddie's death. Now it's blatant. Don't want to use some terms as it might be upsetting but I've always wondered about it.... And yes, 'A winter's tale' is magnificent !
@@chelz1972 Someone in adidas shoes falling into flames? A lot of what Brian has done is seriously wtf!? He was cross about George Michael releasing lp from the tribute fir the charity He was asked about it and said it's holding him back hes Brian may band now! Edit Never mind just watched it It was Brian falling! Id previously stopped it when I saw adidas shoes thinking it was meant to represent Freddie This time I stopped at snakes! I really dont get Brian at all
The song before the crying baby is 'Goin back', a Carole King original, it's the first song Freddie recorded under the name Larry Lurex....btw, can't stand A. Lambert lol. It's just a matter of preference really. My ex partner doesn't like Queen and doesn't like Freddie's face. I prefer Freddie's voice and music. I listen to a lot of different bands and I think Freddie has the juiciest voice of all 🥩 like the perfect steak and wine.
Well said..you're a sensitive soul...there's still lots of Freddie Queen...how about something uplifting: NOW I'M HERE, live at Wembley...a super fun song written by Brian about touring in the early days in the U.S....also a fun punk song written by Roger...watch for Freddie doing something naughty to Brian...the song makes fun of punk music, aimed at the sex pistols' Sid Vicious
Of course any who read my comments know I think Freddie' lyrics Did Finish His Song "MOTHER :LOVE"...no more new lyrics were expected cause he memorialised the special love he had experienced, 'no other lover could match/surpass' the love Mary Austin gave him....included Mother Love....and he felt it to the end wanted -- intended she know it. Unfortunately, another thought was introduced with the added lyrics. Freddie planned a last song singing to 'his woman' . . . he says it. He left ample space for the Guitar solo and an appropriate conclusion to the track...the technology not to make it seem he expected, anticipated being reborn.....well..... Oh me...
First praying for all the families that lost loved ones an friends so sad 😢 an this song is so beautiful an so hurtful my heart breaks for Freddie my eyes fill with tears lord just not fair ! But I know he's with you 💯💋💫👑♾️🥀💛💛💛💛💛🤍

The shooting of those people are heart breaking, too much evil in the world. Thanks for the reaction of Freddie's last song. Freddie left before the last verse he wasn't feeling well, he never returned. Brian sang the last verse.
I always thought the baby crying was either reincarnation or looking back on Freddie's life back to birth
If you hear the ending...it's all songs Queen did back to the first recording Freddie did as Larry lurex "I think I'm going back to things I learnt so well in my youth" then the baby crying as back to his birth. Its from death to birth.

Am I the only one who thinks adding God moves in mysterious ways a bit off
You are a human being with emotions. You can show them. You have not to say sorry. I have tears everytime I hear this song.
Greetings from Germany.
This is one of those songs where Brian remarks “he kept saying, give me words, just give me words to sing.” And Brian did. It is about Freddie, and all hope was gone.
In the end Freddie stops all the medications, they weren’t helping and he’d made his peace. Love the album cover shot.
I also recommend Goin’ back. Such a Carole king song & Freddie’s vocals are angelic.
Yea sorry, Adam ain’t it IMO. I’m happy that Brian & Roger get to continue playing live, but I’ve got no interest.
I agree 100%!
Maybe not the best lyrics to give someone who knows he's dying but wants to keep making music as long as he can, it was the only thing keeping him going
Think I'm strong but all hope has gone
I know Roger and Brian wanting to think about themselves and there career and concentrate on solo work
They could have concentrated on Freddie when he needed them
Nothing can compare to Freddie Mercury!

I've had enough of this same old game
I'm a man of the world and they say that I'm strong

Yeah not exactly an uplifting encouraging song to write for someone whos finding strength to carry on through music
This always makes me feel sad. But I really feel for Brian May to be strong for Freddie. Brian had to finish the song. 👑Need to A Winters Tale last song Freddie wrote.

Baby crying at the end: death & rebirth, the cruel cycle of nature - that kind of thing. Symbolism inserted as silver lining as well as to point out how natural death actually is. The seagulls are there because Freddie's favorite place was lake Geneva's shores where he also died.
freddy knowing he won,t maake it to the end of this song and then that spine chilling note wauw!!! i miss him every day
Freddie was too il to complete the vocals on Mother Love , So Brian May sang and completed the last verse , Freddie said in many interviews I don’t want too be old bones,this is before he new he was HIV , attended many Queen concerts in the 70s and 80s they Were absolutely amazing live and always gel well as performers, best band ever !
One of the best music sentences ever in a song "I can take it if you see me cry, I long for peace before I die"
The end is Freddie singing some of his songs on high speed. It is going back in time. The baby is his beginning.
Freddie sang as much as he did here from May 13-16, 1991 at their studio in Montreaux, Switzerland. Brian says Freddie was too ill to continue that day & planned to come back to finish it. That never happened. But as another comment below points out, he DID film the video "These Are The Days Of Our Lives' afterwards on May 30, 1991 in London, England. And you've seen how worn out he looks there.
First praying for all the families that lost loved ones an friends so sad 😢 an this song is so beautiful an so hurtful my heart breaks for Freddie my eyes fill with tears lord just not fair ! But I know he's with you 💯💋💫👑♾️🥀💛💛💛💛💛🤍
Yeah this damn song is hard. When it was released I remember eagerly listening to Freddie's last songs (yet they found some more....yay) and this (as I said) damn song.... I had to go be alone for a while after hearing it. Especially when I realized it was Brian finishing it.
If you hear the ending...it's all songs Queen did back to the first recording Freddie did as Larry lurex "I think I'm going back to things I learnt so well in my youth" then the baby crying as back to his birth. Its from death to birth.
Another great reaction the end represents the beginning with "going back" the first song queen recorded. You should / must react to it. It's the queen loop once you hear freddie's last song you back to the beginning.
YOU GOTS LOT OF QUEEN TO DO …. 👑🌙🌟⭐️💫✨☀️
Great, thanks! I think this is all a bit too new to you to consider reacting to Q+AL and that's alright... Let it soak into your bones and consciousness a few more years. But also, try to imagine what Brian & Roger had to overcome to keep themselves let alone their love of Freddie and Queen alive. The keyboard player for this band, Spike Edney, started playing with Queen in '84 to free Freddie from sitting at the piano. For a long time Roger's son was the 2nd drummer, and now it's a guy who played in their musical "We Will Rock You" for several years. Did you know there's a musical? LOL! SO Much To Enjoy!! You'll get to Adam one day. Imagine the position HE''s in - everyone comparing him to their beloved Freddie... his voice is versatile and his range is amazing, he works really hard and Bri & Rog love him like a baby brother so it's sweet to see their music live to this day - 50 years later! Crazy.
Adam does respect Freddie and honors him. He is not trying to take Freddie's place, no one could. But he does a decent job to keep the legendary music alive.
❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️
Beautiful reaction to a beautiful song it’s always heartbreaking to watch this one try the prophet song next amazing song it will blow you away take care and thank you x x
Last song of Freddie, he couldnt finish it. And in the and of the song happens return trom the end to the begining. Beautiful and always make me sad.
Thank you for what you said about Buffalo and sharing your feelings with us. I hope it helped! Music always helps me too.
react a winters tale, the last song writted by freddie
Brian & Roger enjoy playing & performing. They have performed with a couple others , billed as “Queen +” whoever. As Taylor Hawkins said “You can’t keep those Lamborginis in the garage”, referring to Roger & Brian. There are many new younger fans, and they enjoy hearing/discovering Queen music. It’s a personal choice. Even Adam says “There’s only ONE Freddie Mercury!”
Also… so much tragedy & unjust hate in the world. Buffalo is just tragic 🥲
I enjoyed your reaction to Mother Love.. Freddie’s last song. I’ve watched many different interviews made by Brian and Roger about this time period.. and how they all struggled through it, with their Dear Freddie. They wanted to honor his wishes to keep pushing forward with songs.. until he could no longer. I’ve also watched many interviews they’ve given about how they found Adam.. and how he’s given them (Roger and Brian) the opportunity to continue to tour and sing their songs.. Freddie’s songs. Without Adam.. they wouldn’t be able to do so. They knew Freddie very well.. they’ve both said Freddie would want his music to continue.. just to never be boring, and Adam isn’t boring. Adam has always honored Freddie; never tried to imitate him.. just do justice to the amazing songs he wrote. All of the performers at the Freddie tribute concert admitted that none of them could have sung but a couple of Freddie’s songs (in the same key Freddie sang them) Adam can sing them all. He has an amazing voice.. if you haven’t already, you should react (or at least listen) to his tribute to Cher at the Kennedy Honors. I think you’d like it! Thanks again for a heartfelt reaction.
Are you ready yet for No One But You (Only the Good Die Young). Or maybe not? A real tear-jerker.
I am with you, can't stand Lambert ! don't understand what do these 2 (Brian & Roger) were thinking by having Lambert as a lead singer?? more destroying Queen reputation than anything else
Freddie wouldn't approve it
totally understand why John Deacon doesn't want to have anything to do with what is happening to Queen today
It's about going back to feeling safe and secure in his Mothers womb..
Freddie couldnt finish this song, as you can tell, Brian had to sing the last verse.
He did three takes on each line,thats all he could do,couldnt finish last verse,didnt feel well,said he would come back and finish it but never did,he died,Brian finished it the last verse for him
who wouldnt get emotional at such cruelty. All those souls, some people are sick. Bless you.
It was definitely a tough, heartbreaking weekend. Thanks for sharing. Great reaction as usual.
You handled that exceptionally well. It is a hard song to listen to when knowing all the facts about it. It is beautiful, though.
You definitely have a ton of Original Queen and Freddie ( and others ) solo stuff that you don't have to worry about Adam right now. Still think you need to do Dancer or other songs from Hot Space. I think you'd like it a lot cuz it's just so different. Delilah would be a fun reaction also. Quirky!
Brian wrote this song.
I think Im the only one who dislikes this
It was the last song he sang
My woman gives me mother love
Sorry but I find that weird
Say Im strong but my heart is heavy my hope has gone
Giving these lyrics to someone who's dying and has shown such strength to carry on.
Freddie had just wrote and sang winters tale, very simple but beautiful
He was still able to see and appreciate the beauty around him with no bitterness
Im choosing to see that as his last song
Have you seen the video of Brian's 1992 song called 'Resurrection'? Something is iffy about Brian around the time Freddie was sick and esp after Freddie's death. Now it's blatant. Don't want to use some terms as it might be upsetting but I've always wondered about it.... And yes, 'A winter's tale' is magnificent !
@@chelz1972
Someone in adidas shoes falling into flames?
A lot of what Brian has done is seriously wtf!?
He was cross about George Michael releasing lp from the tribute fir the charity
He was asked about it and said it's holding him back hes Brian may band now!
Edit
Never mind just watched it
It was Brian falling!
Id previously stopped it when I saw adidas shoes thinking it was meant to represent Freddie
This time I stopped at snakes!
I really dont get Brian at all
@@bluebell3720 Was Freddie an illum. sacrifice? I wondered about this but can't find any people on the internet talking about this.
Também sou incapaz de ouvir Queen com um novo vocalista 🥺
Don’t apologize for showing your emotions
Lap of the gods brother
@Cashvstheworld tolong dengarkan lap of the gods live at the rainbow 1974 .. saya ingin mlihat reaksi anda 🙏🙏
We love you Cash🙏💛 xoxo
Peace and Love to Buffalo! God Bless You All! You Can't negotiate with hate.
The song before the crying baby is 'Goin back', a Carole King original, it's the first song Freddie recorded under the name Larry Lurex....btw, can't stand A. Lambert lol. It's just a matter of preference really. My ex partner doesn't like Queen and doesn't like Freddie's face. I prefer Freddie's voice and music. I listen to a lot of different bands and I think Freddie has the juiciest voice of all 🥩 like the perfect steak and wine.
I'm with you I can't stand Lambert either.
Time for Freddies exercise in free love....please
No worries
I do and listened hundreds of time
I cry every.single.time. please no adam. Jmo
Live Aid was one favourite I attended!
Well said..you're a sensitive soul...there's still lots of Freddie Queen...how about something uplifting: NOW I'M HERE, live at Wembley...a super fun song written by Brian about touring in the early days in the U.S....also a fun punk song written by Roger...watch for Freddie doing something naughty to Brian...the song makes fun of punk music, aimed at the sex pistols' Sid Vicious
Thanks for this reaction
😢💔
Great reaction...do the FREDDIE MERCURY TRIBUTE CONCERT....
I cry everytime I hear this song
he was regressing into his baby hood., mother love
REACȚIA TA ESTE RUPTĂ DIN SUFLET😢 RESPECT PT. DV. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think he chose not to finish it
He recorded the video for days of our lives after that recording.
Of course any who read my comments know I think Freddie' lyrics Did Finish His Song "MOTHER :LOVE"...no more new lyrics were expected cause he memorialised the special love he had experienced, 'no other lover could match/surpass' the love Mary Austin gave him....included Mother Love....and he felt it to the end wanted -- intended she know it. Unfortunately, another thought was introduced with the added lyrics. Freddie planned a last song singing to 'his woman' . . . he says it. He left ample space for the Guitar solo and an appropriate conclusion to the track...the technology not to make it seem he expected, anticipated being reborn.....well..... Oh me...
First praying for all the families that lost loved ones an friends so sad 😢 an this song is so beautiful an so hurtful my heart breaks for Freddie my eyes fill with tears lord just not fair ! But I know he's with you 💯💋💫👑♾️🥀💛💛💛💛💛🤍
