Queen - White Queen (As It Began) (Official Lyric Video)
/ queenofficial - Hudba
This song is fucking beautiful and underrated.
+Darim Alan Fen Maybe, but not to Queen fans, this song was never released as a single.
Awesome song huh ! Greetings from Holland my friend !
It has all of the ingredients for a perfect Queen song, but as you say, underrated!
I agree, this song, Father to Son & March of the Black Queen never got the attention they deserved. These are the songs that introduced me to Queen; I've been a life long fan ever since.
Melanni Arfad And you’re a foul mouthed nobody who won’t be remembered long enough to be underrated
@@emilymcmanus580 black queen>white queen
This song is a heap of elegance, fragility and struggle for love.
Ah... Brian...
Mongalz you described Brian May
I read somewhere Brian wrote this song about a girl he really fancied at uni, but he was too shy to approach. That poor girl missed out on someone WONDERFUL!
But form it all we got this. I'd say mankind has come out the winner on this one.
She was blind. Literally. That's why the lyric is "she cannot see"...
Nah inspired by a book
At least the outcome was this beautiful song
They actually became lifelong friends apparently.
Why is this always happening? When I find a song that was written by Brian I melt. His romantic and powerful mind is like magic. Wow, he must be the type of guy who I'd fall for if I met him in the 70s.
Don't listen to Fat bottomed girls then.
@@libbykelly2809 😂😂😂
As great of a guy as he seems, I honestly could never date a vegetarian.
@@KidaMilo89 he wasn't always a vegetarian
@@toychicaiswilliamafton3449err, he's trying to be one
this song is so underrated
+itsnucktime I sooooo think so too!!!
+itsnucktime Almost as good as the March of the black queen
+In1998able It´s so hard to compare one song to another ( sorry my bad english ) Queen has a song for every mood! When I´m down and depressed I listen to WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER and when I´m in a good mood I love to listen to "WHITE MAN" or so...
Genomizer S. Just comparing the white queen to the black queen both from the same album
+itsnucktime Queen is underrated
Easily the most underrated Queen song!
ArmComedy listen to it live even better than the studio
Alongside " The March of the Black Queen" imho - peace
The March Of The Black Queen and The Prophet Song is better.
@@pablogreen654 no :v
It's not underrated. It's just that most people haven't heard it. Such as it is with album tracks.
This was my sister’s favorite Queen song. She passed away a year ago. As per her wishes, “White Queen” was played at her funeral. I miss my sister so much. #cancersucks
.......love......
Chin up :)
Oh I’m so sorry to hear about that :( I must say your sister had a great music taste
so sad...
I'm sorry :(.
Dear Barbara, please may I add my deepest deepest condolences to you for your loss. My thoughts are with you and so glad you share my tastes in music.
For the record, I lost my Dearest Mother on 11th September 2019 and am still raw with grief, but EARLY Queen + other 1970s music keeps me going. I can see and hear the Beatles in their first four albums.
Lots of ♥️ and Best wishes to you, Barbara.
Love Geoff ♥️🌹
Queen is the only group in history in which every member has composed more than one chart-topping single. Just another reason why it's the best band in history.
Sometimes I think Brian wrote songs that complemented Freddie's songs like:
- March of the Black Queen x White Queen
- Bohemian Rhapsody x The Prophets Song
- We are the Champions × We will Rock You
- Bicycle Race × Fat Bottomed Girls
There are probably a lot more I can't think of right now, but yeah.
We are the Champions x We will Rock you
it's not really a theory, it's kind of obvious. WWRY and WATC for example, were both written because Freddie and Brian both wanted to write a song that they could do with the audience (they decided together to both wrote 1 song each)
Bicycle Race references FBG and vice versa in the lyrics
😳
this is so fucking truee
Love of my life and 39
A real masterpiece
***** absolutely
Nour Michaelis Just like Bowie.
+Nour Michaelis, Nice profile pic mate!
TOTALLY!!!
We have 7 Queens
1-White Queen
2-Black Queen
3-Killer Queen
4-Freddie Mercury
5-Roger Taylor
6-John Deacon
7-Brian May
And Spike Edney
@@happylemming6343 yessss, underrated guy
the march of the black queen
And Mother Mercury?
The seven Queens of rhye
“Stars of lovingness in her hair” is such a beautiful line and I’ve had this song and the live versions on repeat over the past few days.
This song is just magic
Lelly Garwood what's more amazing is that Brian was 27 when he wrote it. He'll never own up but he's a musical genius.
Yes, agree!
all of their songs are
This is such a Brian song.
Fat Bottomed Girls is also written by Brian May, but it doesn't fall to the "such a Brian song" category now, does it?
@@toptop961 Might be the case of an exception that proves the rule. :)
@@mothbrain8327 Some of them are about Fat Bottomed Girls
@@toptop961 , and about tying their mothers down
xMyst ! The prophets song
Man
The white queen
The black queen
The killer queen
Not to mention God Save the Queen ;)
Then there is Great King Rat, Our Fairy King, they have a thing for the royalty stuff.
The black queen kills the white queen then she becomes the killer queen, but god save the white queen
omg exactly what i was thinking!
@@afonsocesar1667 Brilliant
Just like Mozart's work, each Queen song has a beauty on its own.
I picked up on "Queen II" in 1993 and listened to it probably 5000 times since.
Still I never get tired of its grandeur and beauty!
It was 1978 for me. I bought News of the World, and the next day bought every Queen album ever recorded. Still have them all on vinyl.
First time I see somebody else comparing them to Mozart. I feel the exact same way. For me it was about 2011 but I guess I just grew up with them without even noticing, and then they grew up in me
Mozart. I think any member of Queen would be embarrassed by such a ridiculous comparison.
@@pparker768 they won't be embarrassed by that, All the queen members (brian, roger, john. And freddie) are down to earth people.
Me: 1975
Beautiful song, but man. The live version is something else. They took this song and made it 10x better, which I didn't think could be done, considering this song is already a masterpiece.
They added the piano in the live version and the later BBC studio version, as well as replacing the acoustic solo (sitar sounding) with a sublime electric solo, or duet with piano, to be more accurate. That made a hell of a difference IMO.
I love this but the live version at hammersmith is absolutely breathtaking!!!
Agree 100%
@@lisab7233 I agree, the Hammersmith version is awesome, I watch the video all the time.
Yes ODEON HAMMERSMITH version is stunning.
My dad saw them perform this when they opened for Mott The Hoople. He introduced me to their music WAY BEFORE they were on the USA radio radar. Loved them then as now. Thanks dad, miss you. Miss you too, Freddie.
Wow that’s really something!
I saw them too! I was 12 years old and I loved them so much! What a thrill!
@@user-tn8yb2mk1n Mott the Hopple was the band Ian Hunter was in.
@@ashley-fm4ri xddd calm down bro, we know Queen is better. But Mott the Hoople got a great song "All the young dudes". Look it up
Ben Hardy said this was one of his most favourite Queen songs.
I love him even more now.
This song became one of my personal favorites from "Queen II".
Unpopular opinion: white queen is Queen’s greatest ballad
I agree
Could be. For me, it's either this one or "Nevermore" on the same album, can't decide which.
Love of my life hits me harder tbh but that's just me
@@megumin4564 listen to you take my by breath away.
Not unpopular with me. It's been my favorite Queen song since the 70s.
Holy shit! That guitar solo is just incredible!!
It's a sitar solo
@@alrivers2297 actually it's not sitar, one of the old acoustic guitar of Brian, with very old strings
@@xyildiz oh wow, fooled me. I looked it up on wiki and it says they altered an acoustic guitar to make it sound like a sitar.
@@alrivers2297 Brian used the same guitar in Jealousy i believe, it has almost same tone like in this song.
@@xyildiz yes you're right. That's a good song too.
It's wonderful what Brain stated while making this album together, saying this is the music they truly wanted to make. I have no words other than, this is a nearly flawless album! One of my favorites of all time!
Queen 2 was always one of my favourite albums I used to play it over and over, One day my son who was about 14 at the time said if you keep playing this record I'm gonna break it .So I said I'd like to see you try .so he did he brought it to me and snapped it in half ,I thought little bastard But when Freddy died he went out and bought me all the Queen albums on CD He is now 54 and I am 77 and I'm fortunate enough to say I went and saw Queen in concert 3 times ,and I still love them
Phyllis Bowler :: wow, I am also a QUEEN fan fantastic! Wonderful story to share... I'm going to tell you that I have never heard the complete QUEEN II recording. Shame on me. My next purchase will be that. I also have a son who is very into music. Like the music of that era. He's on the autism spectrum and has unbelievable memory recall skills....nice to feel connected. Thank you.
What do mean "Nearly Flawless"? 😁 This is one of two Queen albums that are COMPLETELY flawless(What I consider to be flawless): Queen 2 and A Night At The Opera...
@@anirudhsubramanian4781 hmm, NATO has Sweet Lady - clearly an album filler and easily one of their worst songs ..
I think I'm I Love With My Car is also a very poor, song, full of clichés and very un-Queen like in quality.
Queen II is flawless.
Masterpiece of... music rock ?, no, just masterful song, beyond genres
Magical
Little Queenie ART. PURE ART
Happy Birthday Brian May. One of the world's most extraordinary and creatively original guitarists and songwriters. "White Queen" is just one example of his mastery. Stunning, haunting, beautiful and.....timeless.
totally AGREE a master of dynamics/harmony/melody
The Whole album is just pure magic✨
It's a nice song, but let's face it, Freddie could sing the boston phonebook and it would be good.
True
Mic Tod™ very true
Lelly Garwood
no fucking duh
freddie could read a report card full of f's and it would sound fucking amazing
Mic Tod™ I don't understand what you want to say
ie: Freddie could sing 'anything' and it'd be good - and better than most anyone else.
This has been my favorite Brian May composition since the 70s, those haunting background vocals are so moving, not to mention a typically awesome vocal delivery from Freddie. My only regret is that I saw them in concert about a year or two too late, when they were no longer performing this song. I think the production on this whole album, particularly on March of the Black Queen, was insanely ahead-of-its-time!
I saw them perform this only once - the very first time I saw them in concert. Was very sad it was not put back into concert rotation in later years. Such a gorgeous song. One of my very favorites from the pen of Brian May.
😊
Masterpiece. Takes me to another world ......
Pax Cat
Kings,Queens, princess, kingdoms, middle ages erc, that was the REAL Queen. The next albums espexially the 70’s albums bit the REAL Queen’s Music is In THIS album.
That 30 second bit from about 3:38 - 4:09 is pure magic. The whole song is really.. but that part especially.
Queen 2 was easily their best album. And very few could name a single song on it.
That song is probably Seven Seas Of Rhye.
Damn this song is like a good movie. Such a masterful band they were
No Freddie, you're the Queen that walks, marches and blows my mind.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
The 3 first albums of Queen are top of the top...no group on this planet will ever reach this level!
First 4 even
you ever just want to express how much you love Queen but it's impossible because these emotions are so hard to put into words??
For me the songs are hauntigly nostalgic but I don't know them for more than a year.
2:51 this never gets old
I hear you.
how people make friends ☝
Those two minutes from that very point in the song (So still I wait) until its end is the best two minutes in Queen's entire recorded oeuvre. This song is their absolute best. I agree with you 100%. It never ever gets old. I clearly remember hearing it for the first time 32 years ago.
That bit always gave me chills. After the most significant relationship I've had ended, it also makes me feel like crying, but like in the song, no tear in my eyes...
@@Mike-pf1ru This is Indian classical ....
QUEEN II is by far the best album they´ve ever made. Full of great tracks and the sonics and full of emotion. Freddie really gives his very best and so does Brian, Roger and John. I´ve listened to this album since 1974 and I still get these strong vibes!!!!
Who would dislike this? Shame on the 11 of you.
Viktor Csáti Egy magyar :3
Rachel S.
Probably idiots
They disliked it because John Deacon was not in the description. That's all
They are 45 NOW 😔
95 now..
This song is literally a kind of magic
Queen's instruments and vocals are purely unbeatable. No matter how many covers there are, none of them will stand to Freddie, Brian. Roger, and John.
Queen II is their real masterpiece if you ask me. There's just something about it that's hard to describe.
I'd always thought there was some cosmic significance to this song but it's simply about some girl Brian May fancied in the college canteen.
The live version is more soulful and emotional but every Queen song has its own magic especially the 1970s albums.
Simply magical song ... Thank you, Brian
The lyrics of this song reminds me about a crush I had. I liked a girl, but I was too shy to tell her. The fun fact is that practically everything in the song matches with my experience... What I love about this song is that every time I listen to it, it's like having a part of my life sung by Freddie: such beautiful feeling❤️
Something sacred happens in this recording.
@Eric Fartman Actually I feel is Brian's guitar that made this wholesome (more than most other songs).
Agreed.
I suspect they sold their souls to the dark lord and Queen II was recorded in a pentagram because it’s such a rock masterpiece 😂
Their best ballad by far.
This song is an obscure classic from one of the coolest most fascinating albums ever.This is an example of Queen's majestic musical compositions.Queen's music is both timeless and eclectic.This song could have been written in Shakespeare's time and still be a classic 500 years later.
Thank you Brian May for this beautiful song! Vocal delivery by Freddie is amazing too. Definitely a favorite for me.
Queen's most underrated song
of there best album.
I had this on original vinyl and then cd. Nothing beats the vinyl. no next track jumps and silly track spacings..... the LP gives you the pure uninterrupted beauty. This album is a work of art.
This is one of those magical tracks from Queen II that has been always in my mind, so melodic, it creates such intense atmosphere it gives me goosebumps every time. With tracks like this you can appreciate having a good sound system to listen to it with. Thanks so much for sharing this!
I swear that voice has taken my soul
This is such a beautiful song!!
I don't have any words to express my feelings!!
Queen really doesn't have a bad song at all
I never knew a song could change your life until I started listening to Queen.
Freddie: "no tears in my eyes..."
Me: you have no idea how are my eyes by this point, Freddie!
The band's finest hour.Beauty and majesty
My God... I have ignored this amazing music for so long. Thinking Queen are nothing but their big arena songs. Boy was I wrong, I can sit here for hours being blown away by all the other songs they made and put their love into.
Oh my God, what a mass of Godly inspiration that took place at the time of this timeless BAND!
The most beautiful song!
Queen were a very intelligent band. It showed in their music.
Queen II is my all time favourite album. It's impossible to explain (besides i'm french, so even harder in english), but each time I listen to it, i get the impression it opens the door to a world that only I can access. I viscerally understand it. I agree with each and every single note, each and every single word. It's like my ultimate haven. I wouldn't say all the songs in this album are Queen's best, but as a whole, I would not change a single thing, I wouldn't trade a loser in the end for a Boh Rhap or whatever. All the songs are all exactly where they need to be to tell the whole story of the album. Always takes me to a secret and extraordinary fantasy world, always fills me with joy, a soothing warmth i can't explain. Nothing can reach me when I'm in Queen II. Just love it.
I know exactly what you mean. It's a true work of art, and the emotions it elicits are hard to put into words. It's a journey as well.
I adore this entire album. This song can do magical things to any listener! Queen for now Queen forever!
Hands down one of the best Queen songs I've ever heard. It's beautiful ❤️
Such a beautiful and underrated song! My favourite song song of all time !I love this ! Brian put his soul in this song !
Queenを好きになったきっかけの曲🎶何故当時本国にの皆さんが受け入れなかったのかとても不思議でした。映画を観て何となく理解したつもりですがそんな事はどうでも良い事。今でも全く色褪せない本当に素晴らしい曲です🎶
This song is so dedicated to someone out there that could have been the love of my life.
Queen in 1974 was so magical
Beautiful song
This is completely and utterly beautiful
The fact that Songs like this has only 3 million views, is the reason I don't care about fan favorites
god, the first few seconds of brians guitar playing make my heart feel something so deep idk how to explain it.. i love this man
I really think this is better than Bohemian Rhapsody. In my mind QUEEN II is their best aldbumby far!
+Genomizer S. I wish aldbumby was a word!
+David Bartos David. Thank you!!
+Genomizer S. No problem :) have a good day!
+David Bartos U 2. It´s funny though, ALDBUMBY could be a word meaning "ALBUM BY" We just created a new word for the English language!! Aren´t so clever....?!
+Genomizer S. Yes, brilliant! I'll contact the Oxford Dictionary team and let them know about it!
the guitar is godly
It's a very progressive rock song. I've been listening Queen since I was 13, now I'm 54, and it's the first time I hear it. And I´m astonished.
Queen II is so underrated, it's just as good as any Queen 70's album, it could go even better
why is it i would always pictured Queen II album as a story book? every song were suspiciously tied to one and other, and they have black and white Queens, Dragon, Ogre battle and great king rat...such a grimm brother's stories it is...
Nurlinda F Sihotang THANK YOU, I've been saying the exact same thing for years!!! Somehow I could easily picture a story going on throughout the album... I think that's the reason for it being my favourite Queen album. 💜
Great king rat is from queen, not queen II
Dragon Attack is from The Game, not Queen II
great king rat is debut album
This song is poetic. So underrated.
This is such a beautiful song, this is my first ever time hearing it. I’ve been listening to Queen since I was 2 and ten years later, I’m still here! Thank you Queen for being in my life since I was a child. Now as a near teenager, Queen is still in my life. Such an amazing band, nobody will ever beat them. Stay safe 💗🎸
The March of the Black Queen, White Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody are three of the best songs to please my ears!
So sad her eyes
Smiling dark eyes
So sad her eyes
As it began
On such a breathless night as this
Upon my brow the lightest kiss
I walked alone
And all around the air did say
My lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow known
The white queen walks and
The night grows pale
Stars of lovingness in her hair
Needing - unheard
Pleading - one word
So sad my eyes
She cannot see
How did thee fare, what have thee seen
The mother of the willow green
I call her name
And 'neath her window have I stayed
I loved the footsteps that she made
And when she came
White queen how my heart did ache
And dry my lips no word would make
So still I wait
My goddess hear my darkest fear
I speak too late
It's for evermore that I wait
Dear friend goodbye
No tear in my eyes
So sad it ends
As it began
This album is totally underrated.
One of their best songs and surely one of their most underrated
In the year 2021 to think that most people I have no idea that the first four Queen albums or as good as they were please forget Bohemian Rhapsody Queen in the Years suffered from it being such a hit... they offered so much I'm so much better than what they became... just listen
That's right!
The guitar work on this track is so overlooked. Brilliant Brian May.
love this track, especially those little melancholy guitar intro notes, ''live at hammersmith '75'' is the best version though....
This production is so, so good. They did this with tape machines and real amps, microphones on cabinets, no auto tune or pro tools. Hours and hours of work. Amazing job that still stands up.
I was forteen when this came out..great music.1974.. all the best.. semper fi
The same!!! And -Semper fi
The greatest Queen song you never heard of....
great to see so many positive comments on a group that was a big part of all their fans lives covering all moods brill thanks im glad u all enjoy their music too 😀
Estos tios son increibles, llevo escuchandolos mas de dos decadas, una vez tras otra, todos sus temas y aun me siguen sorprendiendo, emocionando, poniendome la piel gallina, casi hasta haciendome llorar, como si fuera la primera vez que las escucho... Gracias Mr Mercury, gracias Mr Deacon, gracias Mr May, gracias Mr Taylor por todos los grandes momentos que me habeis dado en los ultimos veinte años, por los momentos de diversion con vuestra musica y por los momentos tristes en los que escucharos me levanto el animo, gracias por todas las fabulosas canciones que tanto han emocionado, aun emocionan y seguiran emocionando. En resumen muchas gracias por todo lo que me habeis dado en estas mas de dos decadas que llevo escuchandoos. GOD SAVE QUEEN!!!
More one amazing song of THE BEST BAND OF HISTORY OF UNIVERSE !!
Best backing vocals ever.....helps it is probably one the best Queen songs
On this day in 1974 queen II was released!! Sending my love from England ❤️❤️👑👑
The LIVE performance of this song perfectly shows Freddie's raw power....especially during the piano solo. Queen is just a MONSTER band.
Brian May is such a beautiful and complex singer/ songwriter.
wow, the poetry of the lyrics, the melody, the music and vocals... what a piece of work!
Brian’s multi guitar parts during the lead break are amazing!
Out of all the Queens this is the best of the trio in my opinion
