I still cry when I listen to Freddie, and when I watch his performances with Queen. I absolutely adore the whole band but Freddie has my heart forever and ever❤.
Brian May (Guitar, Keys and vocals) wrote this song for the Queen soundtrack for the movie Highlander. It is such a beautiful song and this particular video performance is simply outstanding. Thank you for your reaction.
@@TwoWolves I can't imagine the pain you must have gone through. I hope the worst is behind you. She must have been a very special person to leave such a lasting memory. I wish you peace.
Hello my friend, I haven't seen/met anyone that didn't tear up to this awesome song. I have seen/heard both the video version and the live concert versions and I cry every time. I've also watched a lot of wonderful people react to this Queen's gem and it doesn't matter who they are...men and women,young,middle aged and older(seniors),all walks of life, occupations,races,cultures.... everyone cries over this. With love and respect from Maine, USA 💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍👍
The choir is actually their voices multiplied so it sounds like a whole choir is singing. They all did their own vocal and instrumental work, they are all incredibly talented.
The movie Highlander is one of my favourite movies, Queen were asked to do a track for it, they wrre shown rushes from the film and decided to make an album instead, glad they did. "There can be only one".
It's been just over 40 years since I started to listen to Queen and I still get a lump in my throat when I hear them. And seems like it was just yesterday. 😢🌹
We buried my brothers wife yesterday. 51 when cancer took her away. He chose this song for the ending of the funeral. I’ve seen the movie. I know what she meant for him. Breaks my heart. The song is just a masterpiece.
When you looked stunned when Brian comes back in singing, to the tear jerker was perfect - this song is SO powerful. Loved your reaction. BTW this song has 3 different endings. The live version has an extra line and then ends - listen to the live Wembley or Budapest videos. But the album version has a long and emotionally powerful ending that has to be heard to be believed! It’s amazing! I hope you check the other 2 versions out because your reactions are first class!
The song is played with scenes of him spending time with his wife, with her becoming older while he stays young. Finally she dies in his arms as an old woman.
Each member of Queen wrote a song for the Highlander movie soundtrack! Freddie (Princes of the Universe) Roger Taylor (A Kind of Magic) Brian May (this song & Gimme the Prize) & John Deacon (One Year of Love) 👈 Freddie’s vocals are sublime!🛡⚔️
Listen to Freddie sing opera with Montserrat Caballe. Several outstanding songs are, Barcelona and How Can I Go On. Even if you are not a fan of opera, remember this is Freddie Mercury singing opera.
Where are we? We're in the highlands... Where else? Running down a mountainside The sun is shining It's not cold You've got your sheepskins on And the boots I made for you Goodnight my buddy Heather...
I like how Brian May sings the 1st verse & chorus all by himself, and then Freddie Mercury sings the rest of the song (except the 1st half of the bridge which is sung by Brian)
Hi Mrs Penpal, This song was made for a film called Highlander. If this version brought tears to your eyes you got off very lightly. When they sing it in the film, he is at the deathbed of his lover. You may need a bigger box of tissues!
I want this played at my funeral when the curtain closes - my wife thinks I'm an A hole as this song is just too powerful and she doesn't think she could take it.
HEY Honey, You should also see this LIVE! Sung only by Freddie & VERY PASSIONATE. There are three live performances on video… THE BEST PERFORMANCE IS: FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1986 At WEMBLEY STADIUM (I specified the date because there are TWO 1986 Wembley concerts: Friday, July 11 & Saturday, July 12…) The rendition of this song at the first show on July 11 is UNBELIEVABLE. If this studio version made you cry, Freddie’s singing in the live version is so much more RAW & INTENSE.🤯🙏🏻
@@MrsPenPal You're welcome... Freddie's passion in the live performance is really SPINE TINGLING. (Not to mention, of course, that his live vocals ALWAYS surpass the studio recordings.) This live rendition is almost "HEART BREAKING".🤯
You Take My Breath Away, is a Queen song I think you would really enjoy. There are two videos of the same song. One is live, the other is official video with lyrics. I prefer the one with lyrics. 🥹 But that’s just my opinion. Live Aid? 👁👁 it?
