"I as a young black man.... don't care about race... we need to move forward, talk, move on" - Radical words in troubled times. I miss you Freddie x

The most incredible singer of the 20th century. An astonishing musician born to entrance us and my God did he. RIP Freddie ❤

It was written and recorded before his diagnose, but time didn't wait for Freddie either. 😥 Freddie was able to adopt anybody's song and fill it up with his own emotions.

Love this song. All us Queenies still feel his presence. He was a powerful voice for so many of us. His and even Queen’s lesser known music speaks to us. These compositions touch us. Some bring a smile (Seaside Rendezvous). Bluesy (Melancholy Blues) 39 (space travel consequences) so many others. Thank you. Bless you.

This man can sing the phone book perfectly. Thanks for that reaction ❤️

You are wise beyond your years, young man! I love how you think. And I love how you said such kind things about NC. You are most certainly welcome here! ❤️ And someone needs to claim that Queen album! LOL

A lot of people would agree Freddie Mercury was way ahead of his time but died far too soon. Always brings me to tears this song xx

Look for the duets between Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe. “Barcelona” will just splatter you. Love your reactions.

This is why i love youtube. I am 43 years old and been a Queen fan since i was 12. I have heard this song i dont know how many times but never seen the video for it untill now. Even 31 years after his death Freddie still keeps on giving.❤

"In my defense ", by Freddie

This song is probably one of the most emotional and deep meaning song Freddie Mercury did in his solo career. Time Waits For No One is as powerful now as it was the day it was recorded. Great reactions as usual!

The premise of the musical titled 'Time' was that a rockstar was chosen to defend life, because things had gotten out of control here on Earth. The other one from the musical that Freddie hit out of the park was "In my defense".

Thank you so much. I had never heard this song. Beautiful Freddie ♥️

This was the most moving song and voice I have ever heard

GOAT… nothing else can be said…

LEGEND!!! Wonderful to watching!🔝

I came here for Freddie, but I’m staying for you. 👍🏼

This song was written 40+ years ago. It was written by Dave Clark, John Christie, & Jeff Daniels. Dave Clark was one of Freddie's closest friends and was actually at his bedside when Freddie died. Dave Clark is an English musician, songwriter, record producer, and entrepreneur. He was the leader, drummer, and manager of the 1960s rock group, The Dave Clark Five (DC5). It was the first British Invasion band to follow the Beatles to the United States in 1964. In 2008 Clark and his band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Here is a video of the Dave Clark 5 hit - "Glad All Over"- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8-gl6Sbza_Ropc.html or maybe you would prefer to hear Dave Clark 5 - "Because" - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psh3aMyEtMuYiWQ.html

There will never be another Freddie… he was just on a different plane. Many of Freddie’s later songs are incredibly insightful.. full of joy while having a deep, deep message. As you stated.. this was written by Dave Clark (from the Dave Clark Five group).. for a musical he was producing.. he re-released in the past couple of years.. it was originally done in the mid-80s. I hope you can continue your Queen/Freddie journey.. early stuff is amazing.. later stuff - even more amazing!! Great reaction.. glad you’re doing well in your new location too!

Great voice. Great personality. The song tells you we always had problems...maybe bigger once at times...I am old enough to remember him live......they say it was the AIDS medication that killed him. He is sorely missed....never duplicated.

Omg Freddie’s voice and that piano hits me so hard. I love him to death. And I agree with you. Everytime I listen to his voice I felt like he was just around me though I never meet him😭.btw thank you for always making great Queen video 🙏 bless you always💛. I would be so jealous for that lucky person to win that vinyl😅 Greatest Hits as I couldn’t afford(I’m just a poor girl,easy come easy go😅) that Greatest just made a Milestone very recently, being Uk’s chart topper being the first ever to reach 7 million UK chart sales. Congrats Queen, congrats to you my friend and to that lucky subscriber. Keep rockin🤟🏻👑

Damn dude... this is the first time I've heard this song, thanks for finding and racting to this...

Check out Freddie's solo Barcelona with Montserrat Caballe (opera singer) and Exercises in free love- this is Freddie's impersonation of Montserrat"s vocal style, ..

other songs like this... who wants to live forever... the show must go on...

Hey love your reactions, this is so true of these times, it’s truly unbelievable that this song was written so long ago, definitely listen to is this the world that we created, it’s so sad that we don’t learn from the mistakes of the past. RIP Freddie

Isn’t it strange, that even though he died almost 31 years ago, it still seems like he‘s directly looking into your soul when he looked into the camera?😭 btw your words about race were great!!! There is no race, no color, no religion, no sexuality, no rich or poor! We are humans, PERIOD!

I’m so happy that moving to NC was the right move for you and your family.

Awesome Reaction my Brother I love an seen Queen in about the late seventies what a great Concert diffenty got our monies worth ! Rest Easy Freddie your voice has an still is touching souls ❣️ I would love to get that ALBUM 💗🤩 TAKE CARE ❣️👑🌟♾️✌️💗🤩💋🙏

You just made me cry. Tears of joy, I promise. Wow. Rendered almost speechless

Love this song beloved Freddie

Dear young man, you have such a good heart and intelligent mind. I love seeing your music reactions but am very impressed with your thoughts and feelings as well. Keep up the good work!

I love watching your face as you absorb his music (no homo). Your pure captivation exudes from every expression. I just love seeing a younger generation find his musical excellence. Another great reaction and analysis!

Freddie is still alive for me too! My taste in music is very eclectic, I listen to almost every style and enjoy them, but Freddie is the QUEEN of my hart ❤ Loved your video ❤

I love your reaction videos and I love your love for Queen. And let me tell you one thing, I found out in life. People are mirrors. You get back, what you emit. And you emit so much decency and kindness, that I believe most people can't help, but reflect that back to you. Whenever I was in real need of help, I often received that from very unexpected sources. And whenever I see a chance I take the opportunity to give that back myself.

I absolutely love your channel, I am a forever Freddie fan, I can tell you Freddie’s voice and the songs from Queen captures your heart and soul. I have to hear him sing everyday it just brings happiness to your heart. He said in interview “If you ever miss me listen to my music and there you will find me” Freddie is the music!! 🔥

Great reaction! I could see how emotional it was for you, that's what good music does! This was written by Dave Clark for his musical Time. For the album of the musical he asked Freddie to sing this song and another one called In My Defense. The musical is about how humans are destroying the earth. This performance by Freddie is a tour de force performance. His vocal range, power and emotion are on another level. I don't know any other vocalist who could sing this the way he did. By the way these vocals are from the very first time he sang the song in the recording studio. The practice run. Dave Clark said Freddie was the only vocalist he had ever worked with who gave a complete performance every single time he sang this in the studio. Must have been amazing to be there.

I am with you.... I also just "discovered" Freddie this year, and I too am deep into watching the music videos and interviews. This man was the best voice of all time. By the time of this song, 1986, he suspected he was ill, and by 1987 learned he was dying; that makes his words all the more poignant , beautiful and sad. He died in 1991. But we today are lucky if we find him like we are. I dont even want to hear any other music at this point! I love your reaction. (i'm a white middle aged woman; my 'back against the wall' is medical issues and some poverty as a result). Dave Clark was of the Dave Clark Five band; he wrote a musical called Time as an AIDS benefit back then in 1986.

This man is a God music his vocals are insane his charisma is unlimited just alegend in rvery way ihave chills and goosebumps when I listen to him such a loss for the music world great reaction love your video make more queen

Look into the 70s 80s ; who needs the new stuff when there is so much out there, never leave out Freddie's... Love

Just watched your first Queen experience of Bohemian rhapsity, AGAIN... still awesome...

Oh wow, this is NEW Freddie for me and I'm 55. What a GIFT, thank you!!!! I so appreciate your reactions!

He’s with us everyday ❤️

Love listening to your commentary. You are so wise for such a young man!

This song was in a musical ‘Time’ which played in London west end. Freddie sang the song on the album from the musical. Perfect as always.

Anyone with a closed mind will never grow...thank you for not judging people based on someone else's opinion, we all have faults to base someone on the color of their skin, how they dress, where they live or what they drive, until we can look at ourselves in the mirror and be honest with ourselves, forever we could be held back and never become the person we want to be

Time is the one currency everyone has to spend. Spend it wisely and we can cut through the BS and make things better for us, by realizing others are a part of us too, just sayen...

Some people want us to be split, and they work really hard to keep it that way, their power remains as long as we keep giving it to them. Together we are mighty, apart we are weak. The past is the past, the future is what's important. Great reaction.

Your a Jewel, respect Your Views, and Agree ... & your Queen Dedication ❤️‍🔥

You are saying it all! Total truth! And this song was 37 years ago but said it all!

"The Dave Clark 5 " was a band that was very popular during the early to mid 60'S. Dave Clark was the drummer and singer in the band. You should check out this video of him and Freddie talking about the song "Time",.and how it came to pass. "Time" was a play filled with a variety of artists contributing their gifts to the songs they did for the play. The interview is really fun, cuz Freddie is quite the expressive, excited darling that he is! I think you would learn a lot about Freddie in the interview. He knew what could be,...and how to do it...and he was kind! it's called "Freddie Mercury & Dave Clark 'Time' Interview (1986) - Extended" here on youtube. You just might also like to hear the Dave Clark 5' music...it's good,... this--> "Dave Clark Five Greatest Hits Video" just has some quick snippets of their music. Hope you take a look.

Time was a musical produced by Dave Clark of the previous band, The Dave Clark Five. They had many artists sing each of the songs. Freddie was asked to sing In My Defense, and then this title song was also given to Freddie. The musical is available on DVD with some very well known artists.

Clark was putting on either a musical or show with different artists singing and asked Freddie to sing...

Very wise. I loved them since the early 70s and love your reactions. They've helped me recover from a recent stroke. Keep doing what you're doing you are making an old lady very happy. Bless you xx

Just incredible.

BEAUTIFUL REACTION!

Absolutely brilliant, a very wise head on young shoulders. Brilliant reaction and I agree, we all need to move forward, dwelling in the past too much is not healthy - look forward to better ourselves and show respect. Like you, I respect people from all walks of life and take people at face value. I just love people for who they are and not for what benefit I can gain......

Doesn’t just hit you in the feels, you get knocked over. This song will never not resonate. The piano is so beautiful….and that voice. Freddie sang with his whole being. I think it was written mid-‘80s, backstory is also very interesting. Love your message!

Thank you for being you and keeping Freddies memory going strong. Thanks again my brother

The enhanced video is spectacular!

I love this song and your philosophy. I would like to hear. in my defense . Makes me think of how Freddie felt later.

Freddie continued to record almost right up until his death These recordings are so hard to watch but it was his way of saying goodbye to us xxxx

“Time waits for no one” 😩😭 We miss Freddie!! 🤩🌟⭐️💫✨ Have you reacted to IN MY DEFENSE?? From the same musical 🎶

I don’t think this song was written about Freddie’s AIDS diagnosis cuz, as others have said, he didn’t write it and I don’t think it was written about him. But it’s impossible to listen to it without thinking about the tragic nature of it with respect to Freddie’s eventual demise. But you are absolutely right about how it applies to what is going on today, everywhere you turn. Which is true of a lot of music that was written a decade …or two…or three…or four….before today. And that is certainly the case with a lot of Queen songs which deal with universal truths or the human condition. Thanks for doing this reaction!

Great reaction! Great input! Thx

Someone to love and don't stop me now are some of my favs. But the live aid stuff they did at wembley is gold!!

I can't help but admire how your empathy is a bright light in darkness. I saw a miracle in my country: Nelson Mandela. 27 years in jail and he averted a civil war. To me he will always be the greatest politician, the best example of humanity and truly believed everyone is equal

Goosebumps every time 🔥 Love Freddie … forever ♥️

Thanks for reacting to this lost gem with a message that truly touches us all. Our time here is finite. Freddie preaching to us from the other side makes the msg that much more powerful. Appreciate that you share your thoughts and feelings above and beyond the average reaction channels. I'd be thrilled to have that album!!

It is great that you are getting into Freddie and Queen. This song hits home on so many levels. Great reaction!

Two of my Queen favorites are The Show Must Go On and Radio Ga Ga. When you get back to Zeppelin, I'd love to see you react to Since I've Been Lovin You live at Madison Square Garden in 1973. That one and the studio version of When The Levee Breaks are my favorite Zeppelin songs. Really enjoying your reactions!

Love your journey with Queen 🙌 please react to Who wants to live forever live @ Wembley thanks

Queen did the full soundtrack for the movie "Highlander" in the early/mid 80's. Great watch.

If you want to watch this again, check out the original version with the cast of the musical Time joining Freddie. It's also very good

Thank you for another great video. I always love your videos. I agree with you. This is a great song for those people who actually listen to it very carefully as you have. Thank you again. You are great.

New subscriber here have always loved Queen and Freddie but what an intelligent young man you are to appreciate the words of this song thankyou.

Sweetie, you are a bright light in the world I loved what you had to say about people and letting go of the past so we are free to move forward bless you, Sweetie by the way I am well over 60 years old and find the depth of your knowledge in lighting

I agree it's like Freddie is right there with you so captivating. Beautiful song and so true that we need to build this world together or have no future at all. We should treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves. That's what it says in the Bible. Wonderful reaction as always. X

You should check out Is this the world we created? by Queen

Wow! You're black! Will wonders never cease! I subscribed because of your interest in music that you've never heard before. Your honest thoughts and insights. Music HAS no race. It has genre's that can be explored and interpreted. Great review, keep up the good work!

Thanks for a great reaction... Dick Clark (of the old Dick Clark Five genre) was producing and directing a musical on (off) Broadway and asked Freddie to sing a song... then asked him to do the musical on stage. There are several other versions of this song out there where he sings with the entire musical ensemble, but Freddie declined the starring because he thought that would be too boring to do the same show every night... Yes, I can see how anger (over Freddie being 'taken' from us) COULD play a part in this scenario, but I think the human (or should I say humane) thing to do is to acknowledge the anger, have gratitude for realizing it, then turn it around to love and acceptance. We all know Freddie was a great singer and master manipulator of emotions (he knew his craft well -- that's why we love him so much), so thank God for the TIME we had Freddie and learn to love everyone... enough said. Thanks again...Blessings.

This song is from Dave Clark's musical 'Time'. Freddie didn't write it, but he made it his own.

Every time I watch another one of your reaction vides , I am MOVED by your words. Your insight and progressive attitude warms my heart. Have you thought about being a public speaker to help our society MOVE forward ? Truly. You have it all and a bag of chips as we would say in my day. Gonna say it again, I love you man ! Wish I had a son as wonderful and as much of a humanitarian as yourself. You rock :)

Barcelona (Live) - Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé - 1988

The original version ( 1986) is so MUCH BEAUTIFUL !

You are a wise young men. I l love your reactions and your personality. Maybe the the reason those people in North Carolina are so nice is because of the kind of person you are. You are jus t a lovely person.

How can people not want a Queen record? C'mon guys

your interpretations is very impressed for such a young man bro I'm only 36 so kinda young still but watching these reactions just me smile and laugh 👑kind Freddie, Tooblunt 💥🤟

thx for reviewing/experiencing Queen, i enjoy your stuff. Try one of my faves, WHITE QUEEN, at Odeon 1975 - that live version blows the recorded one away, as well as the other live versions - there's a GORgeous jam for 2/3 of the song between Freddie's piano and Brian's guitar that really "glows", it's unforgettable! It was being filmed for tv and they focus mostly on Freddie and piano, but the mixtures of sound.... wow. just, wow. 💕

Not written by Freddie of course you know by now. But, a truth for all. And Freddie lived to appreciate HIS life that was challenge from being quite young. Freddie, a youngster, was sent many miles away to boarding school for years. He was very near extended family but not his Mom, Dad and little sister. Lonesome, but he thrived. It's a good story cause Freddie, found it helped him be the independent, confident, constructive adult person we know. We should all use our time wisely .. . do what we want that is good and productive. I learned about Queen & Freddie almost 3 yrs ago....Freddie 'lives', inspires me today. His heart and soul is in his singing, no matter who wrote the lyrics. I cry cause he's gone. I smile cause he's still with us thru how he lived. Nice reaction.

I love your channel, keep on with the queen reactions. You will never be disappointed......NEVER!!!! YES, I Would love the album. I don't know what I have to do to get it.

I love the way you think. ❤️

Dave Clark wrote and produced a play called Time. This is one of the two songs that was chosen for Freddie to sing. The other song is "In My Defense". You should react to that one too. Thank you for your reactions to Queen and Freddie Mercury!

“In the back of my mind, I knew that the final version worked, and you can’t knock it because it is fabulous. I loved it when Freddie was on his own singing it. I’ve never felt that sort of goosebumps feeling that I got on that original run-through at Abbey Road [Studios] with just Freddie and piano,’” Clark said in the statement. But, the issue was, the song had been buried deep in his vaults for more than three decades. He couldn’t locate it. “Every few years I would say to my engineer, ‘Go down to Abbey Road and go through it all again at the vaults.’ We could never find the track At the end of 2017, we found it in the tape archives and I thought, Wow, it’s great.” Moran redid the piano and Clark was able to produce the performance he’d always wanted to hear again. Freddie’s bare vocals were placed on the new piano track. This version is Freddie at his most compelling.

Where have you been? I have missed you so much! It’s so wonderful to see you . I love the person you are. I just love you . Welcome back 💕💕💕

There are a lot of singers in the world. Then there is Freddie Mercury. Incomparable. Hey, I responded to your Queen album offer from the first, don't know what happened.

He first was asked just to sing In My Defence but he asked if he could sing the title track for the Soundtrack for the whole album.

Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️ we still love you Freddie ❤️ liked already subscribed 😁

Thanks, TB - this was awesome! makes me cry, just a bit... thanks to Dave Clark for finding and releasing it! Also, I listened to your entire thoughts afterwards.. thank you.

I love this song...so nice to see you love Queen too. Would love the vinyl.

Enjoyed your reaction and thoughtful insight!
