"There can be only ONE." The theme of the movie so fits Freddie. He WAS the One. We shall never see his like again.
Yes He was the ONE the only ONE. Will always love Freddie 💛
At the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert : www.emp.co.uk/dw/image/v2/BBQV_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-master-emp/default/dw903d1477/images/2/6/5/3/265399s5-emp.jpg
We won't see it again because this kind of music has been killed off...
@@Wolverines77this music never dies. Legends voices live on
A great underground movie
This album was brilliant. Every track.
The fact that it was also the soundtrack to Highlander was a great bonus.
Aye. After Hot Space and The Works it was like a Breath of Fresh Air.
With only One Vision not apart of Highlander. That song was Iron Eagle; starring Louis Gossett jr.
I just wish Queen would've released the full version of Freddie singing "New York, New York". That was such a surprise in the movie.
@@TheRatsCast yup. Kind of like, “Well, we need to add it somewhere.” Always wondered if that bumped New York, New York.
@@MegaTempo22 indeed!! Always wondered if One Vision bumped it off.
Always wanted to hear that.
Between Freddie's beautiful vocals and John's killer bass, it doesn't get much better than this.
Don't forget Brian and his home-made guitar 😁
Well said. And, that wonderful May hook.
@AlanF0011 I was going to say there "May" be one more member of the band to applaud. Just a hint there.
@@Jims_Camera_at_dawn See what you did there 🤣
@@Jims_Camera_at_dawn of course Brian always does a brilliant solo, but it was the bass that really carried this one.
In the 80's, Queen were the kings of Soundtrack songs, they did the Flash Gordon ST, songs for The Highlander( a movie you need to watch) and One Vision from Iron Eagle. God,I miss Freddie!!
Three of my all time favorites, both songs and movies.
The theme song for Highlander was apparently written in the back of a limo on the way to a concert in about 10 minutes
Actually Kenny Loggins is the king of soundtracks: Caddyshack, footloose, top gun & many more.
The highlander one was the pricess of the.universe
@@chuckcobb2392 Thanks for killing the mood. Everyone knows Kenny Loggins,bud. Im not talking about him,Im talking about Queen's 80's soundtrack songs. Read the room.
This song is sooo good live. Written by Roger Taylor for Queen's Soundtrack for the movie Highlander. Great song! I love it. Thank you.
Definitely a movie that Jay and Amber should react to on their Movie Channel
My 17yr old son who is currently at college doing musical performance is obsessed with the late great Freddie Mercury, the ultimate showman 😊
Good for him. Being on stage is the most amazing thing to aspire to.
@@JustMe-vk4fn Uh, no...I sing and speak on stage & it feels great. But my ultimate "amazing thing to aspire to", is to be a good and Godly person; & loving the people around me.
@@RMBlake007 :D We have a lot in common then. Best of luck.
Well, his voice was a kind of magic 🎤
Freddie Mercury : Lover of life, singer of songs.
Underrated album because it was on a movie soundtrack. One year of love is another great hit that got lost. Saxophone 🎷 was so smooth.
Ya, Amber and J really find the ones that a lot of us don't know.
Actually two movies. Iron Egle and Highlander.
yup.
Great song from 1986's Highlander movie. Another great song from Queen from this movie is Princes of the Universe.
Prince's of the Universe is one of my favs.
"Give Me the Prize" is another great one.
I actually liked the Highlander version of this song. But this version is still good.
Yes. And Who wants to live forever. Beautiful.
The unofficial “The Highlander”Soundtrack…One of movie’s Theme Songs! By the way, a great movie to react to - Just stay away from the sequels. A great song to react to from this album is “Princes of the Universe”….Iconic Song!!
Princes of the Universe is a fantastic song, then there’s the helicopter sound and it just gets weird.
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "You’re My Best Friend" !!
Wow,they have so many more to do.
Without being rude, Best Friend is a lot better than this one.
When my papa was still alive, he and I would sing "You're my Best Friend" to the car radio. He really was my best friend. ❤
Please do the 1986 Wembley live version of kind of magic and one vision. Freddy's interaction with the audience makes Queen even better live.
They turn up the voltage in the live version.
Totally agree, I was in the crowd at Wembley, and many years, and many other concerts since, I still maintain it was by far the best concert I have ever been too. It still sends shivers down my spine now when I see others react to it for the first time :-)

I'd pick the entire Live Aid set before the Wembley concert in 1986, both amazing, though.
Didn't Freddie also sing Who Wants to Live Forever at that venue?
Queen is still the only rock band to have each member write a #1 song. Mercury (Bohemian Rhapsody), May (We Will Rock You), Deacon (Another One Bites the Dust), and Taylor (Radio GaGa).
wow! that is some good trivia! thank you!
Thanks for the trivia!
Never knew and been a fan since I was little - I'm nearly 50! One is never too old to learn something new.
a kind of magic roger taylor
oleeeeeee
Title track of their 1986 album. Considered the unofficial soundtrack of the movie Highlander, starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery.
Other recommended songs from this album. Who Wants to Live Forever, and the Highlander theme song, Princes of the Universe.
Imagine that movie without the Queen music??? 🤗🤗
The Live Aid set Queen did in 1985. Arguably the best live set ever. Freddie held 100000 people in the palm of his hand. Magic!
Inarguably! And because of the broadcast he held close to a billion people in the palm of his hand.
Not even top 5 of Queen´s performences. Montreal, Hyde Park, Milton Keynes, Rainbow, Odeon, Budapest, Rock in Rio, Earl´s court, Tokyo , Wembley 86, etc .....
This 100%. I actually looked to see if they'd watched it as the first thing to search for, The single best 12 or so minutes of a live performance EVER.
And they weren’t queen fans 😊
You two need to do a reaction to Queen at Live Aid, it’s said to be the best live performance ever recorded!
You guys need to watch Highlander. Stunning cinematography, great story, top notch cast, and the greatest soundtrack of any movie ever!!
While no one loves Freddie more than I do, but it is a group effort. Queen create their music together. The four parts fit exactly together.
There can be only one ... RIP Freddie
There will be no one who can come close to Freddie. Flamboyant, witty, and the most amazing showman. Always a legend. ❤
He was one of a kind.
Love Brian May every song he NEVER disappoints with his riffs ❤
Love. Nobody does it better. Miss you Freddie.
You should check out Gimme The Prize from the same album. It's gotta be one Queen's heaviest hardest rocking songs. Also, Who Wants To Live Forever from this album is one of Queens' most beautiful ballads.
Another demanding rocker is "I Want It All".
Speaking of heavy rocking from Queen, Stone Cold Crazy was thrash metal long before that was a thing. To the point that Metallica covered it as an homage to Queen's greatness.
@@OriginalLictre Hammer to Fall!
It is SO heartwarming to watch new generations taking on Queen and carrying their legacy into the future. Thank you
The live version at wembley 1986 is really worth reacting to. Queen's live performances are the BEST!!!
Freddie is the showman, the band are the orchestra. Queen have always been part of my life since a little kid. I watched them evolve and become this legendary group so effortlessly. It is so rare to have this meeting of talent that culminates in timeless music like this. In my opinion only about four or five other bands have ever reached that pinnacle. We are blessed, as you say. Freddie especially had such an enigmatic personality and there was no one like him before and never will be another again. His inspiration was a kind of magic !
Any Queen song is great and well worth your time to react to! But the song you must hit before you are done with this band is "White Queen" at the Odeon Hammersmith, 1975! It is an epic performance! And trust me, you still have no idea how versatile this band was!! Enjoy!
My favorite song, and that particular performance is awesome!
@@magneto7930yes yes yes.... can't wait for that one!
@@elizabethrodriguez1095 I saw them in 1978. Unfortunately, they stopped performing the song by then. But it was okay, I was thrilled just to see them!
Tears. The Man's Voice is that of a Deity Intoning Joy and Beauty
He inspired me as a young gay man, he inspired me as an adult, his death was a tragic loss to the world, I truly feel he had so much more work left in him, grand operas and albums of music that would ring down the centuries, Rest In Paradise Farrokh
@Rob_Squad_Reactions55 ❤
Freddie always delivers a masterpiece ❤😊My mom is 83 and Freddie and Queen are her go to performers😊
Contributes to her positive take on life and enjoying a band that wanted to entertain in lots of different ways.
This whole album was superb. Hence for your next movie night should be Highlander. This is the soundtrack for the movie.
The title track to the final album Queen toured to support. (Freddie got his diagnosis after this.)
Freddie stepped back a bit on the songwriting this time around. He only has one solo writing credit on the album, the exquisite "Princes of the Universe". But Roger Taylor had been getting more of his songs made into singles (such as "Radio Gaga" on the last album) and he steps in well again here.
(Brian May's big contribution was "Who Wants to Live Forever", which I'm surprised you don't seem to have hit yet. Also of note, "One Vision".)
One Vision is Iron Eagle
@@brianmcmaster5112 Yes, it's from a different film than most of the songs on the album, true.
It's still on the album, though. Indeed, it‘s the very first track.
Roger was on holiday and Freddie tweaked it!
Well I thought it could be a hit what do you think?
Roger liked what he'd done so that cersions on the album/single
Yes the only sole credit he did pictp with John and friends will be feiends
One visuon was a collab
This song was featured on the soundtrack of a movie called Highlander. In fact, the whole soundtrack was by Queen. You should REALLY think about reacting to Highlander on your movie reactions! I'm a big fan of you two and I always look forward to your reactions! I started with your music reactions but I'm more of a movie guy and when I found you had a movie reactions channel I was sold! If you like Queen you should check out the movies Highlander and Flash Gordon! Both 80s movies that they almost exclusively did the soundtracks for!
Yess!!!!!! Movie reaction to Highlander!
I am literally BEGGING you two to watch Queen's Live Aid set ( the music event of the 80's and you really need to investigate Woodstock from 1994,as well! ) it was Queen's shining moment. Sir Elton John famously said that Queen stole the entire show,they did. If anything, watch Radio GaGa, it will give you chills. Freddy has over 70 thousand people in the palm of his hands and I still get the feels watching it. 70 thousand people clapping in unison is a sight to behold!!
This!
Best live performance EVER
@@jonamour7871Watched it live. My brother had been born 4 days earlier and my father, little sister and I came home for a break. It was awesome. I was 13.
This is my favorite Queen song, Brian Mays guitar is so good.
This song is from the movie "Highlander". In fact, Queen did several songs for the movie. I highly recommend you add Highlander to your movie reactions.
I said that in my comment
Remember Queen are 4 members Brian May, Roger Taylor John Deacon, and Freddie Mercury. The way you talk about Queen it's all about one person. Each member wrote a No. 1 hit single. So don't forget what a great band they are 4 increadablely talented musicans.
@@Rob_Squad_Reactions44 You should watch Marc Martel singing Queen songs.
He is a member of the Queen Extravaganza. The official Queen tribute band endorsed by Brian May and Roger Taylor.
Queen's "A Kind of Magic" peaked @ #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986. It was their 23rd charting single, debuted on the 6/21/86 chart and charted for 11 weeks.
Should have been much higher. It's one of their best songs imho
UK #3
Thank you, Wikipedia.
I saw them on the Hot space tour in Houston it was one of the best concert I've seen seeing Freddie , Brian, Roger and John on stage was a dream come true
Any song Freddie is on is magic to me. Over 30 years are gone and still popular not just for people like me who were there and cried when he died, but Jay and Amber enjoy.
“It’s better to burn out than to fade away” .. said by The Kurgan, in the 1986 film Highlander! A Kind Of Magic was written by Roger Taylor for the film. In fact, all members of Queen wrote a song for the soundtrack!! I highly recommend PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE (Freddie) & GIMME THE PRIZE (Brian). 🛡️⚔️🗡️
He was quoting Neil Young.
@@treetopjones737 YES, & the line was used in Def Leppard’s Rock Of Ages!
Every member of Queen was top tier. Deacon, May, and Taylor…all incredible musicians.
Brian's legendary unique little riffs are another great aspect of Queen 😊
I first heard Freddie in Jr. High and I was hooked! I love how y'all have a great appreciation for him!
Oh this track comes for the Highlander 1986 soundtrack, Queen did a couple of songs for this movie.
"Who wants to live forever" and "Princes of the Universe" to name 2
Best queen song for me simply amazing timeless classic that never ages remarkable
The stage king
It is pure magic. Sheer joy. Takes me back to a timeas a kid where I listened to this on a loop, wearing the tape out. Will we ever hear music like this again from ANYONE? Sadly, I doubt it. Incomparable.
I love your reaction to this Queen song, A Kind of Magic. Freddie's voice can never be matched. React to Queen 'One year of Love'.❤❤
You REALLY need to watch the film Highlander. The whole soundtrack was done by Queen, of which this was one track. A great film.
Queen is the best there is. Nobody beats Queen.
You guys have to watch the performance they did at Live Aid. It's one of the best performances they did and one of their last ones.
A previous comment mentioned white queen live at odeon 1975. 100%.agree! That performance will blow your minds. Also, i have to admit, im one of the viewers who has been waiting for you guys to do live aid. I realize evéy channel does it, but if you haven't seen it, really, honestly, it is a must. As is anything live, by queen. Imo just about all of their stuff is better live. How many bands can say that? Noticed, one, surprising negative comment. Im not sure ive seen this channel get one, at least like the one i saw. Anyway, my point, you two are wonderfully diverse in the music you choose. Even if it turns out to be something isnt in someones taste, so what? You choices, which im sure are views recommendations, are brodening my library too. Im 56, i heard a lot, but nor everything. And its nice not to hear a hit everone knows. But the critic is wrong anout this song. Maybe not one of the biggies, its well known. And on their set list, frequently. ....but, live aid. Please 🙏. Keep doing what youre doing. Cant wait to see 1 million subscribers! 🙂
@@Rob_Squad_Reactions44
Thank you for responding to my comment. Have been subscribed since I was first sent over to watch thunderstruck. 🙂. Was wondering if Queen at Live Aid is on your list of reactions to come?
Her name was Monserrat Caballé. She was a highly regarded Spanish Opera Soprano and she was Freddie's favorite singer in the world. They became very close and he used to call her Montsy.
A Kind of Magic” was written by the band’s drummer, Roger Taylor, for the film Highlander. The phrase “a kind of magic” is used in Highlander by Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) as a description of his immortality.
Roger Taylor liked the phrase so much that he used it as inspiration for the song. There are references to the film in the lyrics: “one prize, one goal”; “no mortal man”; and “there can be only one”. The single’s cover art features an image of Clancy Brown in character as the film’s villain, The Kurgan.
Roger Taylor wrote the melody and chords for the version that appeared in the film, which Brian May described as “quite lugubrious and heavy”. But, while Roger was on holiday, Freddie, who had a different idea about the song, composed a new bass line, added instrumental breaks, and changed the song’s order to make it more chart-friendly. Freddie and David Richards produced this new mix.
Roger was reportedly very annoyed that Freddie had almost completely rewritten the song behind his back (reportedly whilst he was on holiday, so perhaps that explains why the song was still credited only to Taylor. Roger's version is at the end of the film but it is Freddie's version is on the album and in the video.
Notable in this music video is that Brian May did not use his famous Red Special guitar in the music video, but instead a 1984 copy. The music video was Filmed in the disused Playhouse Theatre in London’s Northumberland Avenue at Charing Cross, the video was Queen’s first to include animation since Save Me, with computer graphics bringing the characters from the cover of the new album to dazzling life as, among other things, the band’s backing singers.
The theatre was once used by the BBC to record programming for radio, and this was the inspiration for the video itself - Freddie is the magician who returns to the abandoned theatre where he was once a star and turns three down-and-out squatters (Brian, Roger, and John) into his band. The shoot itself was somewhat less magical - the theatre lacked central heating and was very cold, much to the discomfort of the band and the crew.
I personally prefer the live version of "It's A Kind Of Magic". I love Queen's live version from Wembley in 1987 - czcams.com/video/c2_xWTSyCuU/video.html
Yeh-love this one from Queen, another great track with those vocals and guitar. For a real rocker from them check out 'Hammer to fall'-Colin Ward
Feature song from one of my fav' 1980's movies "The Highlander". you guy's are amazing together, love your content and especially your LOTR movie(s) reactions. Keep up the great work.
They have so many kinds of songs, and many are just plain awesome. This was later on but he still has the range and passion. For a big time rocking epic from them when they were establishing themselves as a new and great rock band, try Liar from their first album, the boys were really bringing it in those days. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Y'all should watch Queen's performance at Live Aid in 1985. It was so awesome! It's like 20 minutes long, but so worth it!
This song is sooo much better and more powerful when performed Live - and yes, “that bass player” (John Deacon) really does hold down that groove that drives the song.
“A Kind of Magic” was written by drummer Roger Taylor.
You really need to check out the live version of this song that they did at Wembley in 1986. It is so much better, IMO. Thank you for all the reactions! Take care and have a wonderful evening. You might want to check out "It's Late" by them. It is a hidden gem of theirs that is simply incredible
You must do its a kind of magic at wembey.......a must see and so much better than the studio version. But you never go wrong with Queen 👑
I agree, the Wembley version is much better
Jay is right on the ball today. Freddie is indeed telling the story of "The Highlander" and there are pointers towards dialogue from the movie. It's a kinda magic is mentioned when Connor saves the child Rachel during WW2, and of course the message throughout the move is "there can be only one". Great soundtrack, great reaction, now go see the movie, the story is "timeless" and the scenery in Scotland is absolutely stunning!
My favorite queen song
Freddie rightly gets a ton of people's admiration and amazement at what he does. But it's almost a little bit of a shame that Deacon, May and Taylor who are all superb get lost in the mix a bit.
Another great reaction guys.
I very much agree. To me, we are listening to Queen. Not Freddie Mercury and Queen. Each member of the band brought their own talent to the group. Their playing, their voices (except John) and their composition. They were all equal, without just one of them it wouldn't be Queen.
welcome to one of the uks greatest bands ever plain and simple ,the power the range of freddie unreal
I’m still waiting for you to react to ‘Who wants to live forever’. Whether it’s the official video or live at Wembley. You’ll be blown away.
You’ve reacted to so much of Queen but you’re not even close to their full catalogue of music. They are truly one of a kind. The 70’s stuff in particular that isn’t played on the radio is outstanding
There are only two films that Queen did the scores for...'Flash Gordon' (1980) and 'Highlander' (1986)...this song was from 'Highlander', in fact, the album called 'It's A Kind Of Magic' contains all of the songs written for the film.
Two lyrics are quotes from the movie. "There can be only one." and "It's a kind of magic" (the second of which is in a deleted scene that was restored for the director's cut of the film).
The one song that was recorded for the movie that I wish that they would have released was a cover of the standard "New York, New York" by John Kander and Fred Ebb, most famously done by Frank Sinatra. You only hear a snippet of the song in the movie's third act...but it is amazing!!!
'Highlander' stars Sean Connery, Christopher Lambert, Clancy Brown, and Roxanne Hart. It's about immortal warriors who have battled across centuries fighting for a mystical prize in 1980s New York City...and it's down to the last few still alive.
you are listening to queen the best rock band of all time!
Freddie....My No.1 male singer. The best bar none 🤘🤘🤘
You know I remember that weekend in the 80's and the world trying to help Africa! I remember, watching hours upon hours of music and bands and it started at Wimbley Stadium and watching on television the band that made this concert memorable. I bought every Queen cassette and 3 VHS videos of their live concerts! Kind Of Magic has always been a favorite and seeing them perform it in a concert(Live at Budapest, if I remember correctly) was just EPIC!
Watching how much you love queen is just beautiful.
Got to be one of the best songs of all time "GOT TO BE"
Cause this really is "MAGIC"
Queen and Freddie Mercury are a wonderful phenomenon.
Phenomenal Freddie. The songs, vocals are so memorable in the late 70’s into the early 80’s! Great reaction!
Ahhhhhh. QUEEN & FREDDY MERCURY...❤🎼🎙🎙🎙🎙❤🎼
Guys you need to watch you take my breath away (live at Hyde park) by Queen, Freddie's vocals are sublime in that
He is the best Singer and Performer for ever. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have been a Queen fan since the mid-70s and saw them live in 79 and 86. Not just Freddie, but Brian, Roger and John were all masters of songwriting, vocals, production and all their instruments.
This song was written by Roger for the Highlander soundtrack, which they all wrote for.
this isn't the film version
even Roger gives Freddie credit for it's success
they are all great musicians and had hits
but Freddie does stand out in most songs especially if your not a musician it can be hard to talk about the instruments individually
but it's easy to talk about the singing and performance
people wouldn't enjoy the songs so much if it didn't sound great in it's entirety
this version was produced by Freddie and Richard
You don't get round to Queen and Freddie Mercury often enough. So many more classics you still need to check out. Much love from England 🏴
Another track from the same album to listen to is Who Wants to Live Forever. The tracks from the album A Kind of Magic were used in the film Highlander.
Thank you for Queen and the happy memories they gave me. All we have now is crap in the charts.
Best queen song for me and there are many,
this is also one of the best songs ever period
Incredible love this so much and awesome "MEMORIES"
I LOVE Queen!!! Never heard this before!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
Montseratt Caballe ( Ka-buy -a ) was the co singer in the operatic song, Freddie was a aficionado of the genre.
All four of these guys always brought it in my opinion.
Russell Mulcahy the director of Highlander showed the band some of the footage expecting one song and they said we will write 5 songs for it
Definitely need to check out the rest of the "A Kind of Magic" album. It's pretty much the unofficial soundtrack to Highlander the movie. 'Princes of the Universe', 'Gimme the Prize', 'One Year of Love', and the heartbreaking 'Who Wants to Live Forever'. But you have to do the movie to really understand the songs because they are truly singing about the story. Including the song they just did - when Duncan MacLeod saves Rachel in World War II, he tells her "It's a kind of magic."
another superb tune from Freddie & Queen
In my youth we had “record day.” (Bring our records to school.) I vividly remember “Killer Queen” presenting itself… to match my records at home. Geez… we lived a good life. I feel sorry for kids now.
This was only tour I got to see Queen. July 1986, Budapest. It was magic indeed. ❤
Queen really were a kind of magic. The likes of which we had never seen before.....the likes of which we will never see again.
These Guys brought us such joy and real MAGIC. Freddie was such a top performer and vocalist and the band set such a high standard....hard to follow.
I loved last summer when they played this in concert. Brian had fireworks come out of his guitar. Queen + Adam Lambert are touring the US this fall. There's talk that this may be their last tour. I think they will probably do Australia after Japan and then Europe again before they stop for good. It will be a sad day when we aren't able to see Roger and Brian playing these wonderful songs again.
Absolutely one of the best songs of all time in my opinion
Absolute belter and thats saying something they have so many greats
Boy oh boy i miss them so badly
Ya'll need to check out Queen (Live at the Rainbow 74). This is Queen like you've never seen or heard them before. This is from a concert that was recorded between their second and third albums. They didn't record Bohemian Rhapsody until their 4th album.
One of my favorite Songs from My favorite Movie of all time HIGHLANDER! There Can Only Be One! ❤️❤️🏴
You’re gonna love the opening guitars on Hammer to Fall. Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon is also fun to listen to (it’s short and sweet) but I love One Vision. You need to listen to ALL of their music, it’s sublime! Freddie is my hero and as Epic Rap Battles said “I took one for both teams from a disease no one knew existed. I didn’t leave a mark on history, I French kissed it” mic drop!!! Much love from the UK
Queen is absolutely amazing. During the early 70's, prog rock was making a huge impact on music. If, as a musicians, you can stand out above the musicianship required to play prog rock, you have to be incredible and Queen really was. J mentioned getting back to Meatloaf and I noticed you haven't done "I Would Do Anything For Love" which might well be the best song he ever did - it's certainly my favorite. Check it out - it will become one of your favs too I bet! Thank you guys - as always, it is great to see your smiling faces everyday!
This came out when they did the sound track for the Highlander. so versatile and so talented. They were popular when my kids were teens and we parents didn't really appreciate them. However when I went back to college after age 65 I took a Rock and Roll appreciation class and did my thesis on them. I am a believer now. One of their biggest fans. Freddie would be my age now 77. Love all the band members and miss Deakie.
The song ‘A Kind Of Magic’ has aged significantly better than the film it was written for - ‘Highlander’.
it's Queen, it's Freddie... need i say more !!! legend's both.
Bass and drums is 50% of this song and I LOVE IT!!!
Yes, Freddie was a Legend and greatly missed, it's also sad that Sinead O'Connor has passed away to RIP❤ I would luv to see The Rob Squad reaction to Sinead O'Connor and Willie Nelson- Don't Give Up- If u luv a song with Amazing story line you will Totally love this they sound so bloody Awesome together..Oh Hi from London England ❤
