James, with each & every song you react to, I see your mind and, already huge, heart expanding....and your reactions, your journey, is taking all of us along with you on the ride. Hang on to that music, hang on to that love. Peace
I’ve absolutely loved watching you discover Queen , they’re absolutely the best !! Thank you because it’s made my love for Queen even stronger , Freddie Mercury forever and long live Queen ❤️your reactions make me smile and cry ❤️
Heartbreaker of a song. Sung beautifully by Freddie. Goosebumps every time I hear this. The first couple of lines of the song and that is me gone 😭 lol x
Love your reaction to Queen and Freddie Mercury he was on loan to us from heaven whilst he was here he influenced so many and we will not see the like of him again R I P Mr Mercury💔👌
Great reaction. I suggest you watch the version sung by Brian May. The song was initially about Brian's first marriage falling apart and impending divorce. he was in a dark place and fell in love with and started an affair with actress Anita Dobson, who would eventually become his second wife, and they are still married today. It was first recorded by Queen around or before 1988, and was intended to be on the band's The Miracle album in 1989 but didn't make the cut. This rendition sung by Freddie was recorded in 1989 and was placed on the 1995 album made in heaven. After Freddie's death in 1991, Brian arranged a solo version, which he performed at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992, and included on his solo album Back to the Light that same year. Freddie's voice is without doubt beyond compare, but check out Brian's it is so beautiful and his anguish is clear too. it hits an emotional dead center bulls eye.
@@decodolly1535 I used to think that when I was younger and more idealistic but not any more. It is sad but most affairs happen when a husband or wife becomes jaded and bored with their long time partner and looks for excitement or the spark out side the relationship. Even a so called "strong" marriage can have infidelity break it up.
Brian May wrote this song and it is so beautiful. As far as i know, this was one of the songs released on the last album Queen put out. This was after Freddie had passed away but while in his last days he said he wanted them to still make sure the album was completed and put out for us. This is why I don't think you'll be able to find Freddie singing it live anywhere😢 Please react to Marc Martel singing this, it's incredible 💜
Such power, emotion, what a voice and what a band. Man I wish they would be still together with Freddie. But thankfully we have the music and still can experience so many things!
That’s also what happens when you’re forced to hide your love in a closet with a pile of shame and fear instead of being accepted and allowed to be proud of everything that you are. 💔 🏳️🌈
Once he got real with himself, he was searching what others crave. I think he was making up for the times he suppressed his feelings. Unfortunately that's what got him.
No. He died from complications of AIDS, a disease that governments and even science dismissed as just a "gay" virus and so let people afflicted with it die while they turned their backs on them. He may have had many lovers. As did many people. Or just one. It doesn't matter. The virus was out there before anyone knew what to do. I love this song but I'm afraid that linking it to Freddie's death just stigmatizes him as someone who could have prevented it by not "loving" so much.
You should check out Only the good die young by Queen.It is without Freddie,John deacon,Brian may and Roger taylor are saying goodbye to their Brother Freddie.It was the last time that John Deacon performed with the band.He did not want to go on with Queen without Freddie.I think he missed him to much.
When Brian sings, "There's a face at the window And I ain't never, never sayin' goodbye!" To me is one of the most emotional lines written in a song. Eyes are getting a little damp just thinking about it.
And just think, Queen were once referred to, as inventing hip hop :) So much music we have today, not just in rock or metal, but a vast majority with harmonies of grandeur in classical, and hip hop etc, Queen bridged everything, and brought into existence a new meaning of music that'll never die. some say they were one of the most important bands from the 70's & 80's, but I say, that still, to this day, they are THEE most important of all time, literally no other artist/ group on earth has had the influence that they have, and in my opinion never will. Freddie was a true force of nature and I guarantee the angels bow before him now in heaven :) Freddie & my father are the only reason I believe there must be some god of some sort, some sort of afterlife, and the only reason I don't fear death myself, knowing people like that will be there. God bless you and keep you JB.
JB I'm grateful to have discovered you discovering Queen, which has inspired me to discover Queen much deeper than I thought I knew them. Because of you I've been discovering so much more than their famous songs. Wow have they made some of the most beautiful musical art that has made the world better that I've ever known. Freddie Mercury created and delivered so much of that musical Beauty and Joy to the world and I love watching his spirit light up yours, which in turn lights up mine, which in turn repeats and repeats and repeats. And can I make a tee shirt based on what you said: " turn off the media, turn on the music." Our world needs real love and passion so desperately these days.
Beautiful reaction, James!! This song was written by Brian about his struggles with the end of his first marriage when he fell in love with Anita (his current wife), but after he sang it in the tribute concert they made for Freddie, of course the song took a whole new level. And I agree with you, it's such a mature song and we so can relate to it! Thank you soooo much!! You're such a great reactor!!
You are happy to have discovered with us the beauty of the music of the queen ... and we are happy to have discovered a sensitive person like you ... able to understand the beauty of the soul of freddie .... a man who has lived for the music, until the last breath of his life. You are a special person .... you deserve all the good of the world. Strong hug.
I agree with some of the other commenters that you should watch the Queen video "No One But You (Only the Good Die Young" (if you haven't already seen it). It's from after Freddie's death and it's Brian, Roger and John saying farewell to Freddie with Brian and Roger singing. And it's the last time John Deacon played with Queen. VERY moving to say the least.
Just a little info on the song: it was written by Brian May and two other collaborators, originally recorded in 1988 during The Miracle album sessions, but wasn’t included on that album. Brian wrote it about the breakdown of his first marriage and his attraction/falling in love with the woman who became his second wife. Brian ended up putting it on a solo album of his, with himself doing the vocals. He also performed it at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, which led some people to mistakenly believe it was *about* Freddie. As far as this particular recording, it was finally put on the Made In Heaven album in 1994 (after Freddie’s death)... Brian and the guys pulled out the old master from the Queen 1988 Miracle sessions, reworked the instruments etc. Here’s the Wikipedia entry, and if I find a link to Brian’s personal version, I’ll drop it in a response under this comment. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Too_Much_Love_Will_Kill_You
And here’s the link to Brian May’s Official Video for the song... which is gorgeous. Brian has an awesome voice, and you can hear the pain in his heart. czcams.com/video/3Z_9-ulTd0s/video.html
Thanks for this information. I first heard the song on Brian's album and loved it, but didn't know it had been intended as a Queen song originally. I can never decide whether I prefer Brian's version because it contains all the emotion & feelings behind the lyrics. Or Freddie's because he's the better singer. (That's just my opinion - Brian May fans back off, I love Brian too!)
Eventhough your reaction Facial and inside your mind and Eyes this kind of love for Queen makes my tears of '91 comming back again back then i immediately called me in sick to my job and bought me a ticketplane Amsterdam to London to bring fresh flowers tears and respect at Garden Lodge Freddy's house i Kensington London thanx Bro
I won’t repeat Diana North’s comment, as she explained the whole thing. I listen to this song everyday, as with many Queen songs, and I’m really glad they released Freddie’s version; it seems so appropriate for him as well. I’m so glad you discovered Queen. As a kid, I would hide in my room listening to them as each album came out, and they are still a comfort to me.
pls only react to no one but you (only the good die young) official video by queen, it’s john deacons last performance with them and their tribute to freddie after he passed away
Sending you a hug James-- sounds like you have had some negative experiences re. Love-- one day you will find something good that won't hurt your heart. Just hang in there. Queen can be very cathartic for heartbreak
Thanks. I don't think I've heard this Queen song before. Powerful! ... If you're in the mood for another beautiful, heartbreaking song, I recommend "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt from 1991.
I love your reactions to Queen so much! Your just so genuine and its lovely to see you fall in love with Queen and Freddie as much as I am! All their songs really are relatable. I recommend you check out No One But You (Only The Good Die Young) a tribute song to Freddie by the other members of Queen years after his death and It's A Hard Life! Two of the many great songs by them! Can't wait for more! 💙💙💙💙
Fed's Version of this song was remarkable. It was written by Brian , You should Listen to Brians Version of it that he recorded several years after Freddie passed. It was a different take but also tremendous
JB, I love watching your reactions videos. You're so honest in your emotions. I'll help as much as I can. This is what we need more of in the world, kindness to and for each other. Like you have written, anything helps, $2, $5, $10. So, come on guys, let's help JB. Another song that you may enjoy, is Cool Cat. I love how funky it sounds. Deacon kills the bass in this song. "Cool Cat", written by Freddie Mercury and John Deacon, originally featured David Bowie on backing vocals and a few lines of spoken word to a rhythm during the middle eight. According to Freddie in a 1982 TV interview, Bowie was unhappy with the results and requested them to be removed days before its parent album was slated to be released. With the exception of the electric piano (which was played by Freddie Mercury), all the instruments are played by John Deacon, including drums, guitars, and synths. On the album version, Mercury sings the entire song in falsetto. The alternate take with Bowie's vocals still intact is widely available on various bootleg recordings (however, not this recording) and surfaces from an early 1982 vinyl Hot Space test pressing from the US. Deacon can be heard using the popping technique throughout the track. Queen - Cool Cat (Remastered 2011) czcams.com/video/L42mMCcrnok/video.html I came across this next song a few weeks ago and have played it every day at least 5-6 times. It's obvious as you listen to the lyrics, he's singing about Freddie. The person who created the video did a nice job adding the pictures of Freddie. Makes me cry every time that I hear this song. Old Friends, Roger Taylor czcams.com/video/B3AiMU78pko/video.html
I grow up with is amaazing music . I miss him eyery time, when i hear Queen music. Your Reactions are so real. Thank you that. I sent you a big Hug from Germany ♥
Please react to Teo Torriate (Let us cling together) the most beautiful lyrics ever.......it will touch your soul, difficult not to cry....he sang part in Japanese...
Pls react to Made in heaven by Freddie Mercury or Freddie Mercury Funny moments or sheer heart attack live by queen plssss or Now I’m here live by queen or seven seas of rhye live by queen .These are song you haven’t reacted to by Queen and I’d love to see your reactions
This song was on there last album , just before Freddie past away , there are a few other songs on the album that are fairly dark . At the end of the album there is about 15 to 20 minutes of very dark piano , almost like funeral like piano . And one song at the end with a onsomble of bits of songs from every album and then a baby starts crying.
Mate I’ve watched you on your journey and I would like to say be proud of yourself you graduated from school when told you wouldn’t and from what I’ve seen you have become a man you beet the odds I’m so glade you have taken us on this journey with you
JB I wish you would react to Freddie Mercury’s very last song he sang, “Mother Love “ he passed away before he could finish the song, guitarist Bryan May sang the last verse, I know your appreciation to Freddie and Queen, it’s a very special and sad song, but yet beautiful... 😊
Not one bad word can be said about freddie..live ur life ...live...life...be happy...live life...then ur gone..happy life...when its over the pain comes yes .but ur death deals with it..love u freddie..xxx
This song sounds like Freddie looking back up on his whole life and seeing everything in hindsight. it seems that everything is easier to see that way. He trusted Mary more than anyone because she was with him when he had nothing and before his fame. He loved her emotionally even though he couldn’t be with her physically. His partner, Jim Hutton, would not put up with Freddie’s messing around, & Jim was the only male relationship that he had that pretty much put Freddie in his place. Jim gave Freddie the stability and love that he always needed in a male relationship. I’m sure by this point that Freddie was able to look back on all of his bad decisions in the mid-late 1970s & early to mid80s until he met Jim Hutton, & that’s when he saw the big picture and realized the consequences of his actions. This man was facing his own in mortality. So sad but a beautiful song❤️❤️❤️
Brian wrote this song about a very personal and painful time in his life -- the breakup of his first marriage to Chrissy after he met Anita, who became his second (and current) wife. He wrote intending to include it in his solo album but when he played it for his bandmate and heard Freddie sing it, he knew that it had to be released as a Queen song. Freddie sang with such heartfelt emotions that one can not help but wonder if the lyrics meant something very personal to him. (Too much love led to his HIV/AIDS infection?) Brian did later record a version for his solo album.
You should react to 'Mother Love' next. One of the very last songs Freddie sang on. Brian sings the third verse as Freddie was too tired to finish the song, and unfortunately he never did. But the notes he hits are incredible for a man so weak and so close to death. Personally I would skip the video version though, for me it takes away and distracts from the song. You need to just close your eyes and listening to Freddie. It's a really emotional and powerful song. Try this link instead of the actual video - czcams.com/video/6rSJbkZOvo0/video.html
Brian May wrote this song and I wonder did he write it about him leaving his wife for Anita Dobson?...it seems to fit ...i love watching your reaction ❤
This was written by Brian and it's about having to choose between two lovers (in this case his wife and the woman he fell in love with). As someone who was a cheated on wife it made me see that both side feel pretty much the same way. When it says it will make you "plead and scream, and crawl" it just about rips my insides out. Fantastic song. Freddie sings it best, but Brian also recorded it and did a video. It's well worth the watch because of the raw emotion he shows.
You have such an open mind to music, love your channel. Try "Exercises in Free Love" It's not an actual song but rather a Demo that Mercury made for opera singer Montserrat Caballe to lure her to sing one of his compositions. He sings in falsetto mimicking what would be her voice singing. It's him on the piano too. She liked it and the result was a song called Ensueno (Spanish for Dream/Fantasy) She liked his composition so much she asked him to sing it with her. Later they did the song Barcelona which you already reviewed. However, I find Exercises in Free Love so interesting for the backstory and the fact that its a demo tape. Both songs are on CZcams. Love you JB
Queen has always had a weird amount of foreshadowing in their music. It’s honestly creepy. Certain songs kinda hint at what was to come later but WAY before anyone knew what was gonna happen

Can you believe Freddie's voice in this song..I agree with you,I can feel every word!!

Freddie and Queen touched many millions and continue to.
RIP Freddie.
Beautiful song , loving your appreciation for the music of queen 💕

Heartbreaker of a song. Sung beautifully by Freddie. Goosebumps every time I hear this. The first couple of lines of the song and that is me gone 😭 lol x
I love Queen!
Love your reaction to Queen and Freddie Mercury he was on loan to us from heaven whilst he was here he influenced so many and we will not see the like of him again R I P Mr Mercury💔👌
I just discovered Queen lately and I am in my eighties. I still love watching Freddie
Great reaction. I suggest you watch the version sung by Brian May.

His marriage fell apart because he cheated on his wife with Anita. Not the other way around.
@@Nina-oi1qk- An affair might finally finish a marriage but where a marriage is strong and going well, the affair wouldn't happen in the first place.
@@decodolly1535 I used to think that when I was younger and more idealistic but not any more.

Brilliant song.
it is heartbreaking, because too much love killed Freddie in the end :(
Anubis2976 I was thinking the same.And that is so sad
That’s also what happens when you’re forced to hide your love in a closet with a pile of shame and fear instead of being accepted and allowed to be proud of everything that you are. 💔 🏳️🌈
Once he got real with himself, he was searching what others crave. I think he was making up for the times he suppressed his feelings. Unfortunately that's what got him.
@@Mitchis_Euphoria it was written by Brian when he was leaving his wife and kids for his new love who became his 2nd wife
No. He died from complications of AIDS, a disease that governments and even science dismissed as just a "gay" virus and so let people afflicted with it die while they turned their backs on them. He may have had many lovers. As did many people. Or just one. It doesn't matter. The virus was out there before anyone knew what to do.

Theob b I totally agree! I always cry my eyes every time I hear it
I agree pls do this
When Brian sings, "There's a face at the window
And I ain't never, never sayin' goodbye!" To me is one of the most emotional lines written in a song. Eyes are getting a little damp just thinking about it.
Too right. Freddie's a legend but I prefer Brian singing this song. I guess his voice suits the softer songs.
This song is so Beautiful. It’s written by Brian. There is a version where Brian and Freddie do a duet. Gorgeous.

This is one of my favourite songs
Thanks James for sharing this, Queen has so much meaning in their lyrics and I agree with you music brings people together.✌💞😄
I love Josh Grobin so did my Mom we played his song To where you are at her funeral it was one of her favorites thank you for reacting to him
Freddie is amazing. Try to find “Love Kills-The Ballad”, “In My Defense”, “Don’t Try So Hard”. ❤️
Another great one with Freddie and Queen... who wants to live forever, amazing with a orchestra behind them, simply beautiful 😊
You are happy to have discovered with us the beauty of the music of the queen ... and we are happy to have discovered a sensitive person like you ... able to understand the beauty of the soul of freddie .... a man who has lived for the music, until the last breath of his life.

That's the universal magic of Freddie and Queen. He sings straight from his heart to your heart, no matter your age, race or creed.

Love Freddie. Love Queen. Love this song. Love your reactions. Good luck to you friend. Hope my little bit helped some.
JB, I love watching your reactions videos. You're so honest in your emotions.
I'll help as much as I can.
This is what we need more of in the world, kindness to and for each other.
Like you have written, anything helps, $2, $5, $10.
So, come on guys, let's help JB.
Another song that you may enjoy, is Cool Cat.
I love how funky it sounds.
Deacon kills the bass in this song.

Please react to Teo Torriate (Let us cling together) the most beautiful lyrics ever.......it will touch your soul, difficult not to cry....he sang part in Japanese...
Outstanding recommendation. Love that song!
Brian May also sings this after Freddie’s death, on Pavarotti and Friends. If anything, it is even heavier.
Pls react to Made in heaven by Freddie Mercury or Freddie Mercury Funny moments or sheer heart attack live by queen plssss or Now I’m here live by queen or seven seas of rhye live by queen .These are song you haven’t reacted to by Queen and I’d love to see your reactions
Your beautiful reactions touch my heart so much. Thank you for sharing
You would love "Don't Try so Hard" ^^
Gone but never forgotten you live on through your songs and in our hearts RIP
This song was on there last album , just before Freddie past away , there are a few other songs on the album that are fairly dark .

JB, please react to Queen song No One But You written by Brian.
Rhonda Silberberg I agree. it's very emotional
JB I wish you would react to Freddie Mercury’s very last song he sang, “Mother Love “ he passed away before he could finish the song, guitarist Bryan May sang the last verse, I know your appreciation to Freddie and Queen, it’s a very special and sad song, but yet beautiful... 😊
Not one bad word can be said about freddie..live ur life ...live...life...be happy...live life...then ur gone..happy life...when its over the pain comes yes .but ur death deals with it..love u freddie..xxx
I know how you feel, this song speaks to me too. Life is tough, and people do hurt you.
Here i am again thanking you James for this video. Such a beautiful song.
This song sounds like Freddie looking back up on his whole life and seeing everything in hindsight. it seems that everything is easier to see that way. He trusted Mary more than anyone because she was with him when he had nothing and before his fame. He loved her emotionally even though he couldn’t be with her physically. His partner, Jim Hutton, would not put up with Freddie’s messing around, & Jim was the only male relationship that he had that pretty much put Freddie in his place. Jim gave Freddie the stability and love that he always needed in a male relationship. I’m sure by this point that Freddie was able to look back on all of his bad decisions in the mid-late 1970s & early to mid80s until he met Jim Hutton, & that’s when he saw the big picture and realized the consequences of his actions. This man was facing his own in mortality. So sad but a beautiful song❤️❤️❤️
Oh the irony of that name.
Brian wrote this song about a very personal and painful time in his life -- the breakup of his first marriage to Chrissy after he met Anita, who became his second (and current) wife. He wrote intending to include it in his solo album but when he played it for his bandmate and heard Freddie sing it, he knew that it had to be released as a Queen song. Freddie sang with such heartfelt emotions that one can not help but wonder if the lyrics meant something very personal to him. (Too much love led to his HIV/AIDS infection?)
Brian did later record a version for his solo album.
Hello from Russia! I love Queen and Freddy! These are the stars of our planet!
Such a great video
Your reactions are amazing I’m glad I came across your Channel...:-)
You should react to 'Mother Love' next. One of the very last songs Freddie sang on. Brian sings the third verse as Freddie was too tired to finish the song, and unfortunately he never did. But the notes he hits are incredible for a man so weak and so close to death. Personally I would skip the video version though, for me it takes away and distracts from the song. You need to just close your eyes and listening to Freddie. It's a really emotional and powerful song. Try this link instead of the actual video - czcams.com/video/6rSJbkZOvo0/video.html
Too much love did kill him in the end. It's heartbreaking. Torn between the lover and the love you leave behind.
wow omg just when i thought i had seen all the videos!!! powerfully emotional
too much love will save you, no love will kill you
Exceptional reaction 💔
Real emotional song strong feeling in this song it's a true fact to some of us .
🖒🖒
Brian May wrote this song and I wonder did he write it about him leaving his wife for Anita Dobson?...it seems to fit ...i love watching your reaction ❤
Yes he did.
I FEEL you, brother. Let's keep it going. 🌟🌟
See the untold story of Freddie Mercury
I'm still waiting for you to react to "No One But You (Only the Good Die Young)".....amazing!
React to Phil Moufarrege-voice teacher-Freddie Mercury's voice.
Listen to you take my breath away in earls court
This was written by Brian and it's about having to choose between two lovers (in this case his wife and the woman he fell in love with). As someone who was a cheated on wife it made me see that both side feel pretty much the same way. When it says it will make you "plead and scream, and crawl" it just about rips my insides out. Fantastic song. Freddie sings it best, but Brian also recorded it and did a video. It's well worth the watch because of the raw emotion he shows.
Why are you feeling this song??
Why do I feel every song they wrote??
The reason is simple..
Because of Freddie, Brian,Roger and John..Aka Queen...
Lovvvvvvvvvvve u &love queen 😢
Please react to "No-one but you (Only the good die young)"
It was released a couple of days after freddie died
This song he wrote and released when he was dying from aids.
Title album Made in Heaven
You have such an open mind to music, love your channel. Try "Exercises in Free Love" It's not an actual song but rather a Demo that Mercury made for opera singer Montserrat Caballe to lure her to sing one of his compositions. He sings in falsetto mimicking what would be her voice singing. It's him on the piano too. She liked it and the result was a song called Ensueno (Spanish for Dream/Fantasy) She liked his composition so much she asked him to sing it with her. Later they did the song Barcelona which you already reviewed. However, I find Exercises in Free Love so interesting for the backstory and the fact that its a demo tape. Both songs are on CZcams. Love you JB
Beautiful song & so sad.
Have you reacted to A kind of magic music video? Is beautiful ♥
You should react to NO ONE BUT YOU (Only the Good Die Young) Tribute Queen did for Freddie
Queen has always had a weird amount of foreshadowing in their music. It’s honestly creepy. Certain songs kinda hint at what was to come later but WAY before anyone knew what was gonna happen
Not enough love can kill you too....
