I am so blessed to have been part of this generation, Queen gave the best stadium concerts. Thank you Freddie, Brian, Roger, and John (aka Deaky)

Just beautiful. Written by Brian but sung with such emotion by Freddie.

Mary Austin once said in an interview that Freddie’s songs are autobiographical and if you listen closely to the songs he wrote you can hear that especially in the last several as he was coming to terms with his death. He never complained. The band got even closer and protected him once they were aware. His final album was Innuendo and the last song he wrote is A Winters Tale. It’s heartbreaking and beautiful and masterful just as he was. With a five octave singing range, the fastest vibrato ever recorded, plus double jointed long fingers -perfect for the piano I think he was born to create music and fate led him to his fellow perfectionist musicians thus Queen. More Queen Rad! ❤

This is a song by Brian about his marriage troubles, there is a version of Brian singing it and it is beautiful and sad, but when Freddie sings it with such passion and emotion he makes your heart ache for him.

What a Guy...what a Voice, thank you and even if it wasn't written by him he definitely applied it to himself

An amazing Brian song, but when Freddie sings it, knowing he was dying… makes it very heartbreaking. “Too much love will kill, just as sure as none at all”… wow!

Freddie can leave you speechless- this is Brian’s song but Freddie made it his own. Freddie grew up in an all boys boarding school in India- alone. From age 6- 17. So growing up for him had to be hard.

This song is special with both Freddie singing it as well as Brian singing it. The lyrics are amazing and it is so cool that both versions are awesome, although, the depth of Freddie's voice blows me away. I remember Brian singing this at the Freddie Mercury tribute. He said it 'was the best he had to offer'! Not true as Brian had so many wonderful tunes to offer up!! Sad and profound!!

“I loved working with Freddie to do that vocal (1989). We were aware that the song was becoming something different, and it meant something different. We were all aware of it. We obviously knew Freddie’s days were probably limited barring a miracle. So the song started to feel like something different. And we didn’t shy away from making it very big, very Queen-like. And I like it." The song itself stretches back to 1986-7, when Brian wrote it with two friends, songwriters Elizabeth Lamers and Frank Musker. He was in Los Angeles at the time, “far away from home” and in a “tangled state of mind”, trying to find some release from a period of profound personal upheaval. “

Brian wrote this at the time of marriage problems, I like Brian's as well, but listening to Freddie it sort of fits him, his life and the illness he was facing.

One of Brian’s best & a amazing vocal from Freddie. I’m gonna recommend dreamer’s ball again. Another great brian song, inspired by Elvis blues, delivered as only Freddie could. Paris, 1979

Awesome, I never heard this before. Thanks

BRIAN MAY wrote the song. BRIAN also sings a version of this song too. Both versions have two different meanings to me. BRIAN put it on his solo album BACK TO THE LIGHT and the album came out in 1992. I also just love to hear BRIAN sing he has a beautiful voice. I am so glad your back doing QUEEN Sundays. Take care and have a great day. Your friend, QUEEN BEE 🐝🐝🐝🐝

I would love to see you react to Mother Love . Freddie’s very last recording . He died before he could finish and Brian sings the last verse. Freddie manages to hit a part in this song that is mind blowing. Thankyou Rad for sharing your wonderful feelings of Queen .

Beautiful song!! It’s one of those songs that the vocalist determines the emotion! We have Freddie’s vocals then on the other version we have Brian’s vocals!! Love Brian’s lyrics!! There’s a third version with Brian singing with Pavarotti live in Italy 🇮🇹

Please do A Winters Tale…….Freddie at his best!!💕🌈💕🌈💕🇬🇧🇬🇧

Heart breaking song ihave chills all the time listening brian sings it great but I prefer freddie's vocals angel voice unmatched outstanding voice thanks great reaction loved it 👌❣️👏

I just really needed to hear this song today. Since yours is one of my favorite reactions to it I immediately thought of your channel. It's amazing when you can feel the beauty and feeling a song brings you, we feel it too. Music is so powerful, it unites us all and becomes part of our life stories 👑 Freddie's story will be never-ending as long as we continue to share his performances.

The song was amazing & the lyrics as well..Very touching

I prefer Brian's version of this song which will rip your heart out. Brian is having difficulty holding back his tears in his video, even though it was made years later than this one. It must be difficult to write a song and want it to be sung one way but for it to be a Queen song, Freddie had to make it his own. Please do react to the Brian May video version because it really brings the whole thing home. The first time this song was ever heard by the public was when Brian sang it at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. Though Queen recorded this, Brian had written it with a few friends one evening so the royalties became a difficult issue so it didn't make it on that particular album as was intended. Because of Brian's actions, his first marriage was crumbling which was heartbreaking for everyone concerned. He and his wife tried to try again and again but the trust was broken and Brian's guilt was such that there was no way to put the pieces back together. Brian and his wife split for a while, she took their children and went to live in their vacation home in California and Brian got involved with another woman. Again he and his wife tried to work things out because they had two children and they still loved one another but it was too late, neither of them could make it work and Brian was now deeply involved with another woman who would later become his second and current wife. To make things even worse, Brian's wife became pregnant during one of their "trying to make it work" periods and was carrying their third child. Brian was heartbroken and as he said in the song, "every way I go I've got to lose." Brian's children have always been his first priority and he was completely committed to being a husband and a father, until the months of loneliness on the road and then being in the studio whenever they weren't on the road, compounded by fame and all that obvious temptation took its toll (all three of the married members of Queen had serious marital problems at this time, so it wasn't just Brian). The fact that Brian was not living in the same home as his children and that he was not able to be involved in the third pregnancy was killing him, along with his guilt of completely messing up what had been an inseparable relationship he had always shared with his wife. All of this plunged Brian so low that he was seriously suicidal. For his children's sake, he sought help for that which most likely saved his life. When you watch his own video, you really feel all of that. Brian has been very transparent about his infidelity and how it pretty much ruined everything he had always wanted in his life and violated all that he expected of himself, up to that point. Once Brian did sing this song at the Tribute Concert, the song took on a secondary meaning that could have been a parallel to Freddie's situation and ultimate death. Thank you for your reaction.

I love this video with this. I have seen it before and can almost tell you what songs each of those cuts come from. .....Tissues please.

Please react to Who wants to live forever live in Budapest. Freddie’s voice is so strong and Queen is so damn good. Thank you so much for your reactions. Have you ever been told how calming your voice is ❤️

As a Queen fan for 37 years love your reactions. This song tells a story of how Brian May was torn between two loves (and as the song goes the love he was potentially leaving behind, which was his first wife because at the time 86/87 he had also met his second (and current) wife Anita Dobson. His feelings were as a failure as a father (as he had three children by Chrissie - 1st wife). Obviously, Brian May wrote this song and he also sings it very well. However, he professes to always having the voice of Freddie in mind when writing/composing it. The two versions are both outstanding. A lot of people try and tie Freddie's poor health and untimely death to it but it wasn't the case, it was how Brian was feeling at that moment, he didn't want to do it but he was simply in love with Anita, and he "wish he had read the signs" and was "heading for disaster" and basically he had "too much love" and on hell of a massive decision to make "too much love will kill you if you can't make up you're mind" (and feeling all the other emotions in the lyrics). Keep up the Queen Sundays. Stay safe from Manchester UK x

J'aime Freddie. C'est mon ange. 😇

A song that is for everyone Soundtrack for many Thanks to the Greatest Q

So enjoy your reactions!

Always loved your reactions, two you haven’t done yet are Breakthru and Headlong, both would have been great to see in concert, but Freddie couldn’t do it anymore.

Always waiting for Queen Sunday 👑❤️

There is also a version sung by Brian May X🇬🇧

As previous comments have stated, you should now check out the Brian May version. I may be in the minority but I think I prefer Brian's version

Queen the song headlong to he video!

please react to Brian's version, it is so emotional and moving.

amazing

I appreciate your love of Queen. Truly. But, but, credit should be given where credit is due. Brian wrote this song, it was about his infidelity and failing marriage, as he fell out of love with his then wife, and grew in love with the woman who would become his wife. Brian has his own version of the song as well-That said, given where Freddie was in life, his advancing illness, the lyrics become meaningful to him as well.

Please react to Marrero - MC Thick..

Hi Jarrett! Could you please consider reacting to Africa by Toto, Covered by Angel City Chorus. You and your followers won’t be disappointed. Thank you

I know he had to who he was but just a shame that him and Mary couldn't have made it ..

React to the Brian version

Brian's version is better.
