P.S, no "man" even Freddie, has been able to replicate Roger's voice from this song to this very day. His falsetto was like a banshee on a few other Queen songs from the 70's. That's why the 1970's gave work to Queen's best vocal work of their careers.
Ye freddie falsetto never had that same vibrato or angelic quality but he was much more powerful, thek complimenting each other made 70s queen so darn good
Queen guitarist Brian May wrote this. The song is about an astronaut who travels to a distant place at near the speed of light. Because of the time dilation that takes place at these speeds, he and his crew return home 100 years later. He has aged only a year but sadly finds that his wife has long passed on and that he is about the same age as his grandchildren. Incredible song.
I think its odder than that - the land that his grandchildren knew - they are all dead too. If its 25 years per generation then he is the same age as his great-great-grandchildren. Give or take his travel year.
He have a good and special voice. In the song "Somebody to Love" i like his voice in the live concert, when he sings ..."Find me.. Somebody tooo love" at the end. He is just amazing. Freddy is bether, but Freddy don't have the voice like Roger.
This is the only live version of this song I've ever seen where Roger could still hit those incredible high notes/ Just amazing! R.I.P Roger's former voice!
Lol At Rogers falsetto at 2.09 he was preparing desperately but didn't quite make it. Bless him for trying though, such a great team of singers together. I'd love to have seen this song performed live.
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫ In the year of '14 I first listened to this song In the days "Interstellar" was premiered I was reading "Ender's Game" And the sequels that featured time dilation effect And if that wasn't enought i was staring to enjoy country music and queen songs I thougth the universe was trying or the universe let's say to make me love this incredible song ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫ So this song became my all time favourite song and it will untill im dead Brian May got what it takes to make me feel like in space For my life Still ahead Pity Me. ♫♫♫♫♫♫
This one was written by Brian May. John Deacon wrote 'My Best Friend'. And Freddie was involved in the writing of 'Bohemain Rhapsody, and he played piano as well. This was a remarkably talented band. I saw them once live and the feeling of being there was just tremendous.
Yeah, it's clever how Brian May made it this folk song with a sort of veiled science fiction meaning. I thought it was about World War II the first time I heard it. Then I looked it up and found out May was writing about space explorers and time dilation was all "holy crap."
Hi my friend!! I totally agree with you!!! Freddie is the King of Queen, no doubt about it! No one will ever come close to his amazing voice, he is unique!!! Freddie´s voice was made in heaven!
yo pensaba ir a ver queen a Santiago de Chile... pero la verdad sin Freddie no es para nada lo mismo, incluso fui a ver a "Dios Salve a la Reina" (Tributo a Queen) y me sentía mal por el solo hecho de que no fuera Freddie... Solo una cosa que decir: Freddie, Seras recordado por siempre como un grande
Fue lo mejor que me ha pasdo en la vida. Bohemian Rhapsody fue lo mejor de la noche, salio freddie cantandola y todos la cantamos con el. Paul, estubo a la altura. Brian y Roger se las mandaron con unos solos increibles. tocaron buenisimas canciones, algunos pifiaron, pero eran la minoria, lo hicieron porque de seguro no conocian las canciones nuevas o encontraron el solo de Brian muy largo, pero ellos no saben de música. jajaja, Los Queeneros de corazón si que disfrutamos todo. VIVA QUEEN!!!
If you pay attention in the voices, you can hear Brian in the chorus, and that's fucking beautiful
Brian always wanted this song to be a hit, it really deserve it
80thisvelvetglove i love Led Zeppelin
It was/is to me. It made me the Queen fan I am today.

their voice got worse faster because they smoke.. :(
Roger lost his falsetto, but Freddie's falsetto improved. You can hear it best on Exercises in Free Love.
I do agree with you
Ye freddie falsetto never had that same vibrato or angelic quality but he was much more powerful, thek complimenting each other made 70s queen so darn good
John Deacon is the ultimate bass guitarist...
i love both versions, brian's and freddie's. each one gave a different feeling and taste to the song.
totally agree, I to like both versions.
@Precious Jude You got it, Freddie is THE SINGER 🔝✔👊
Ja, FREDDIE ROCKS IT THOUGH 🎵😉💪🏼♦️🔔

1:23 Ok Roger we get it.

spinachtoffee Ikr it's so cute 😂😂

2:29 John slowly inching back into the darkness
Man Roger rocks his parts of this beautiful song
He have a good and special voice. In the song "Somebody to Love" i like his voice in the live concert, when he sings ..."Find me.. Somebody tooo love" at the end. He is just amazing. Freddy is bether, but Freddy don't have the voice like Roger.
Freddie had a better voice, Roger had a higher range... Well more like he could hit higher notes than freddie, but was not as smooth.
me : cried every time watching this
also me : watch it again and again
also me : in love with roger taylor
Hareka Tysiri me too dear..rog is so gorg here..the way he pout His lips and the way he plays the tambourine ..he just made my day
Although Freddie is a great singer, this is definitely a Brian May song
+Smitty werbenjagermanjensen Bluh i think this is definitely a Brian May song
Why exactly did Freddie sing this? I agree it was a song sung by Brain May.
I think Freddie singing this adds a real interesting spin on it.
Plus his range and power is stupendously superior.
Freddie's a better singer, but Brian has such a raw voice that sounds perfect for folk. Freddie's voice is too polished and nice for this song
Sing better by Freddie . Roger shut up lol please
I love this song, Roger was so cute ^^
Rebeca Feliciano yes he is😍
I love how everyone is talking about everything except when Roger gets really into hitting that tambourine. I was dying from that.
When ?
Brian May was working on his Doctorate in Astrophysics when he wrote this song.
Man, Brian can sure write songs! And John's bass playing here is so amazing! Queen just rocks, plain and simple!
I love this song so much. Roger's back up vocals - amazing high notes!
Roger. wonderfull. beatiful voice
Roger the most beautiful drummer in the world
But you are the prettiest woman😍
@@enchong091 I agree
This is the only live version of this song I've ever seen where Roger could still hit those incredible high notes/ Just amazing! R.I.P Roger's former voice!
Roger's range is amazing. I love this song and Freddie doing vocal on it is great. Thanks for posting.
Roger's tambourine dance. I could watch that all day.
Queen will always be the best rockband the world has ever seen. No doubt about it!
Brian seems like such a humble and sweet man, he has a great voice too and plays a mean guitar!
Every member of Queen is brilliant...John Deacon,s basswork on this track is sheer artistry
Lol At Rogers falsetto at 2.09 he was preparing desperately but didn't quite make it. Bless him for trying though, such a great team of singers together. I'd love to have seen this song performed live.
I respectfully disagree . Roger nailed it .
Peace
No one:
Roger stans: I want to be that tambourine
God Damn Roger Taylor and that High note
Roger could make me go that high! Lol
and bang me as hard as that tambourine
How many people can write a good song about a complex idea in physics, like relativistic time dilation? Maybe only Brian May.
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
In the year of '14
I first listened to this song
In the days "Interstellar" was premiered
I was reading "Ender's Game"
And the sequels that featured
time dilation effect
And if that wasn't enought
i was staring to enjoy
country music and queen songs
I thougth the universe was trying
or the universe let's say
to make me love
this incredible song
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
So this song became
my all time favourite song
and it will untill im dead
Brian May got what it takes
to make me feel like in space
For my life
Still ahead
Pity Me.
♫♫♫♫♫♫
Ender's Game is awesome
That's really good!!
I'm so used to hear this song being sung by Brian but Freddie really took it to a completely new level of magical.
I prefer Brian's vocals by a landslide, but I can see why they wanted to use Fred while live.
Indy The Great i
The incredible "Governor"-Mr. Brian May! and Queen. We love you ..Now Sir Brian May! 2023..
Oh I still miss Queen! And our Freddy! Legends all...xoxo
One of my favorite Queen songs. So full of feeling and depth … beautiful!
Jesus how does Roger not pass out during that high A falsetto?
because roger cant do high notes anymore
cause he just doesnt
+Sandra “Michaelis” Ackerman Because of sheer and utter awesomeness.
If you call studies in dentistry a proper music education ;)
Izumi Hanjinozuka Just a gifted range.
Freddie realy was so talented, he has the most beautiful voice in the world, this song sound like country and he sang like an angel.
all due respect to Freddie... Brian did it better. I will say Freddie did put his heart and soul into it like he did with everything else
One of the best songs by Queen!
Can you, fellow internet user stop for a few seconds to appriciate how fuckin awesome the bassguitar is in this song?
luchadorito i noticed that actually
RIP Freddie the world will always miss your presence.
The best song of Queen. Lyrics, music, the BAND, everything is absolutely great. ♥
Lets get some John Deacon love! The bassman is so underrated, especially on this song.
the best song of many very good songs from this unique band
no one can ever compete Freddie Mercury, he's really awesome, Brian May too, he's my number one best guitarist of all time.....
Man do I love Roger! He'z just so cute with his antics like his crazy high voice and adorable little dancing! Thumbs up if you love Roger!!!!!
This one was written by Brian May. John Deacon wrote 'My Best Friend'. And Freddie was involved in the writing of 'Bohemain Rhapsody, and he played piano as well. This was a remarkably talented band. I saw them once live and the feeling of being there was just tremendous.
Wow where did you see them?
Love how Roger makes a quack noise before the song starts. :)
He does it at Earl's Court and this performance too.
Yeah, it's clever how Brian May made it this folk song with a sort of veiled science fiction meaning. I thought it was about World War II the first time I heard it. Then I looked it up and found out May was writing about space explorers and time dilation was all "holy crap."
Same I thought it was ww2 for the longest time
Every time I listen to this song the lyrics get me. They're just as beautiful as the music. Simply fantastic.
I've listened to this song before bead every night for the past year
I'm doing that right now lol
I did that once. Just to realize that the time i was hearing was 00:39
That was beautiful
Queen convinces me that true music will never die
Amazing song...always was and always will be.
I feel something like a nostalgic even though I'm Japanese
rogers dancing this seems unreal he had so much fun on the stage
0:15 roger “ehh”
No matter what, I think that this song is only magical when Brian May sings it.
Yeah man! FREDDIE singing 39,FTW! QUEEN-THEY-RULE!
One thing that makes this band ridiculously great, is that all the instrumentalists are amazing singers too!
I love this country song of BRIAN MAY.
QUEEN FOREVER
+Luigi Tondelli I would say it's more of a folk song than country, but nonetheless agree with you
Folk*
Man, a band that gets along well can do amazing things!!!
Amo demais essa música, amo demais o Queen
QUEEN AND QUEEN CLASSSICS! You never get enough of them! YEAH!
78 people clearly are bitter they lost their hearing and can’t listen to this amazing tune! Feel bad for them! ☝️
Wow those high notes of Freddie and Roger mixing together! And the sight of the 4 of them at the front of the stage!
I love this Queen song! One of my favorites for years, before I was a Queen fan!!
wonderful song that never got the recognition it deserved.
This is about the theory of relativity and time dilation! Brian May's astrophysics career at work.
Now that is some beautiful harmony!
0:15 “eh”
I also heard that eh in another performance of this song lol
Grande queen. Siempre y por siempre en nuestros corazones, mañana los veo en el concierto aca en Chile
Hi my friend!! I totally agree with you!!! Freddie is the King of Queen, no doubt about it! No one will ever come close to his amazing voice, he is unique!!! Freddie´s voice was made in heaven!
there is something of country in this song...... i love it
Beautiful song. It highlights the versatility of Brian May's songwriting.
Freddie you are the best ! your voice is just Fantastic !
still play it once a month my fav queen song
Scotchfisherman why only once a month? 🤔
A truly amazing, touching song; it reminds me of the story of the Odyssey.
Simply beautiful song and performance!
I am sooo in love with Roger Meddows Taylor. Rip my soul tbh
Excellent song! And live, it's brilliant!
Man, they just really come together in this piece. Great live performance.
I love it when roger sings, too...his voice is just so different, its awesome
I really love this video.. Their voices harmonise very very well.
Best song from Queen in my opinion - love this song so much.
I love love love Freddie's vocals in this song!! And beautiful harmonies w/Roger...: )
fully expected Brian to sing this solo
Absolut Hammer Lied, Wonderful tune, back in the day when pop Musik was actually worthy Musik. Lobet den Herrn 🎵🔔🍃♦️
I love this song more everytime I hear it
'39 É MUUUITO PERFEITA!
'your mothers eyes, from your eyes cry to me' beautiful line !
One of my favorite acoustic songs of all time! Thank you for posting this!1
Man, this is the very very best I heard in my life!!!! Long live to Queen!!!

VIVA QUEEN!!!
Quenn foi uma das melhores bandas do mundo!!
I LOVE THIS SONG,..Always have!
Lovely, lovely song!! One of my favourites from this once-in-a-lifetime band... Thanks for posting!!!
In the land that our grandchildren "knew". Thumbs up if you know why he used "knew"
Yes, wicked is the best word to describe such a voice...
