Queen - It's Late (Official Lyric Video) 

sometimes...all you need is Queen.

This is literally a jewel hidden in the discography of Queen

I'm reading these comments, it touches my heart to see people who love Queen as much as I do, or even more.

It's never too late to start listening to Queen.

I discover new underrated legendary songs of Queen everyday.... I look in the comments section of every song and people say "this is my favourite! this is the best Queen song"..... now that's Queen... they don't have any best song... each of their creations is a masterpiece

The more you listen to this song the better it gets

I love john's face with goofy he seems so happy.

This is probably Brian May's masterpiece. He wrote a great tune and really shines on guitar. Freddie, of course, takes it to astonishing heights with his godly vocal delivery. Great harmonies from the guys, as well. I love it!

This song is so underrated!

It's 2024, who's here still listening to the greatest band there ever was? 👑

Can we talk about how much of a beast Deacy's playing is? LOVE how dirty & gutteral the bass sounds.

6:16 "WOAAAAAAHHH" E6? What a HIGHEST note you did it, Freddie!

Freddie's highest note HIT is in this song

It's late in the night and I'm writing my astrophysics thesis with Queen in my ears

Roger’s drumming is so heavy. Brian’s guitar playing, too.

I'd forgotten what a f------ brilliant song this is. It's breathtaking

"Teo Torriatte", "The Prophets Song", "I'm In Love With My Car", "From Father To Son", "Storm Troopers In Stilettos" and this one are IMO under rated.

This song just kicked me out of depression for a few minutes

As a life-long Queen fan, this feels like the one song that gives us all four guys completely loving what they do. Roger and Brian not just hitting it hard, but really meaning it. Deacon absolutely smashing the bass and Freddie, more than ever, singing beyond perfection to bring us absolute heaven.

This is the most underrated queen song ever

This one blew me away the first time I heard it...

The most underrated song ever.

Saw them in their prime in 1979 . One of the best shows I’ve ever seen . It’s Late was one of my favourites from that show.

This one is definitely one of my favourite “less popular” Queen Songs.

This is, and always has been, my favorite Queen song. So many of their non-hits are simply masterpieces. ❤💕

Happy 70th Birthday to you Queen Legend John Richard Deacon, Hearty wishes from Hyderabad, India 19/08/21

Most underrated song of all time. The essence of Queen. A stroke of genius.

The first time I heard this track, I was blown away by the drumming of Roger. He is so underrated as a drummer. He ranks up there with the great ones. Sure he's no Ginger Baker, Neil Peart, John Bonham, and Keith Moon, but damn he's fantastic. Now about the lyrics, Brian really hit the nail on the head with this one. One of his hidden masterpieces with the band. John Deacon is also a fantastic bassist. He really accents the song with his playing and meshing perfectly with Roger. Finally, we get to Freddie's vocals. What more can one person say that hasn't already been said all over the world. I miss hearing his voice with new material every day. He is sadly missed by me, just like all of the past musicians I have listened to over the past 46 years. God Save The Queen......

6:15 That's not the guitar, it is Freddie's vocal !!

Queen's greatest rocker and one of their top 10 songs. And most people don't even know/remember it!

One thing I love about Queen is that all four members have their own musical style so you get a nice mix of Roger's hard rock, John's funk, Brian's catchy melodic pieces and Freddie's experimental stuff. I love songs from each of the members. While I'd say '39 is my favourite Brian May song, It's Late is a close second.

Brian wrote this and let Freddie THE MASTER sing it I am so impressed bye what a true band they were!!! NEVER be another like them!!

One of their best songs, and highly underrated.

Can you imagine the kind of music Freddie would have made if he was still alive? Rip Freddie

The most phenomenal vocals in music imo. Freddie could do that gritty, raspy sound, he could do more smooth, soft pop kind of vocals, he could do opera. He could make his vocal cords do gymnastics like nobody else. He is my favorite by far and I absolutely love him.

The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Queen..... and I could live without any other music.

Last time I heard this song was probably 2009 and I had almost forgot how good it is. I wish more people know this Queen song (and other underrated songs) and not just Bohemian Rapsody, Somebody to love or We are the champions.

I fucking love this song

Unfortunately this album is so overlooked because it has the two hits that literally everyone knows (We will Rock you and We are the Champions). Because everyone was too busy listening to those , they dismissed the rest of the masterpiece that is The News Of The World . They all missed out on absolute gems like this

“Come on over for a drink” “It’s late, Freddie”

Why was this not on the greatest hits album?!

I have listened to this over and over....one word.MASTERPIECE

you heard the first riff and you can feel that this is a masterpiece. And you don´t mistake...

Now there are a LOT of underrated queen songs, but this? this is on a whole different level. THIS SONG SHOULD BE AS POPULAR AS BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

This song (and the entire "News of the World" album) has such a special place in my choices of favorite songs. I would like to point out what Brian May does in his guitar solo. He uses finger-tapping. Eddie Van Halen is widely credited as the first to use this technique in rock music. Van Halen's debut album was release in 1978. "News of the World" was released in 1977.

Definite candidate for Queen's best-ever song. I'd have no problem ranking it #1.

The power in rogers drums with deacons bass throbbing is really shocking !!

Great song, great band, great everything.

Brian May is one of greatest musicians of all time, and a hell of a good person too.

I do mot understand how some people can call 1 Queen song a favorite. My God theres sooooooo many...

‘It’s Late’ makes you realize Freddie was not the only one who was hurting - Brian May has to be the most honest, beautiful person ever to grace rock n’ roll! 💜🙏🏻👑😍

One of the best songs ever written

fav queen song of all time

This song is so underrated and underplayed

One of the few times RU-vid recommends an absolute banger

This is legit my favourite Queen song. Right up there as one of the greatest rock songs of all time in my opinion.

Splendid work of John with his constants bass breaks.....He attacks the drammatic line of the song permanentely....

The most underrated Queen song EVER.

Iv heard so many people say that the Beatles are the greatest band in the world, but I will forever stand by queen being the greatest band in the world

Why this song isn't considered among Queen's top three I'll never understand. Such an amazing piece of art!

Its beautiful and Freddie's voice adds another dimension 1:45 there's something about when he says "hmm yea" that's emotional.

3:00am listening to Queen on a work night “IT’S LATE, IT’S LATE, IT’S LATE BUT NOT TOO LATE!” Lol!!!! Because I can’t stop my obsession with Queen. And that is not a bad thing!! And that picture of Deaky with Goofy is so cute!!!! I’m the only comment for 2 years! How is this possible? Lol.

The most underrated Queen's song ever. Their best ever to me.

I went "off" Queen when 1978's "Jazz" came out, but "News of the World" 1977 was their last album I bought Co-incided with when I left High school to start work, so, a VERY significant time span for me (Album collector) By 1979 I was declaring to everyone I knew that "It's Late" was singlehandedly THE finest track Queen EVER recorded It's now Jan' 2024 and nearly five decades later, my opinion hasn't changed one jot, not even one iota If you'll excuse the untended pun , such "MAGIC"

My absolute favorite Queen Song. Love them all but this song does it for me. Way Underrated and no airplay. Epic Masterpiece.

Brian's riff and Fred's voice are crushing And see, I love WWRY and Champions, but they are just the shadow of Spread your Wings and this masterpiece. Top

Best Queen song of all time

I rode hard on my bicycle to the store every day waiting for this album to come out, this song is one of many gems on NOTW. I love this era especially from say 1976 thru 1980, friends mom drove us to Dallas for the Jazz Tour, then caught the Game. Love

Brian May you are my HERO!!! and have been since i was a kid

his vocal is just mind blowing. i can really relate to his emotions to this song.

This song is one of the best answers to anyone who criticizes Queen for being too commercial

In the early 90's my aunt asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I replied "any Queen album". She got me "News of the World" and my life was irrevocably changed. If it had been a vinyl copy, I would've worn it out. Fortunately, it was a CD. This song is my favorite and needs no attribution or supplement. This song is beautiful in every possible way. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Queen.

I'm back!! A year older, still love it, can't get it loud enough

Queen is the best band in the world 🌎❤️

One of the greatest vocal moments by Freddie.6:16 insane high note.

One of my all time favorites!!!!! 🙌❤️🎶🎶🎶

Hugely underrated track. True rock classic. Queen at their very best. And no synths😄

It's late it's late it's late But not too late... :)))))

One of the most underrated Queen songs.

This song proves what a great hard rock band Queen were once and for all.

Fantastic song, one that does get enough airplay. Love Freddie's primal scream before the last verse!

A good reason why these guys made into rock history

You say you love me And I hardly know your name And if I say I love you in the candle light There's no one but myself to blame But there's something inside That's turning my mind away Oh, how I could love you If I could let you stay It's late when I'm bleeding deep inside It's late. Ooh, is it just my sickly pride? Too late. Even now the feeling seems to steal away So late. Though I'm crying I can't help but hear you say It's late, it's late, it's late, but not too late The way you love me Is the sweetest love around But after all this time The more I'm trying The more I seem to let you down Yes, baby Now you tell me you're leaving And I just can't believe it's true Oh, you know that I can love you Though I know I can't be true Oh, you made me love you Don't tell me that we're through It's late, but it's driving me so mad It's late. Yes, I know but don't try to tell me That it's too late. Save our love you can't turn out the lights So late. I've been wrong but I'll learn to be right It's late, it's late, it's late, but not too late I've been so long You've been so long We've been so long tryna work it out I ain't got long You ain't got long We gotta know what this life is all about Tell me Tryna work it out Ooh, too late, yeah Too late, much too late You're staring at me With suspicion in your eye You say what game are you playing? What's this that you're saying? I know that I can't reply If I take you tonight Is it making my life a lie? Oh, you make me wonder Did I live my life right? It's late, but it's time to set me free It's late. Ooh, yes, I know but there's no way it has to be Too late. So, let the fire take our bodies this night So late. Let the waters take our guilt in the tide It's late, it's late, it's late, it's late, it's late, it's late, it's late It's all too late Whoa, whoa It's too late, c'mon Late too late, oh, yeah

Queen and Freddie forever! Their talent is just beyond belief.

Adding this to the list of underrated Queen songs. We've got, It's Late, My Melancholy Blues, Dead On Time, The Prophet's Song, The Millionaire Waltz, One Year Of Love, The March Of The Black Queen, Sleeping On The Sidewalk, Let Me Entertain You, Gimme The Prize, Who Needs You? You and I, Dreamers Ball, Leaving Home, 39', I'm probably forgetting a few!

I graduated from High School in 1977 and then went out and bought this album after I started college that year. I reminds me of a time.....

My favorite Queen song and In my top 5 songs of all time. Song is BEYOND a Masterpiece!!!!

There are so many phenomenal songs by Queen that have never gotten the recognition they deserve and this is just one of many.

The greatest Queen song...EVER!

the greatest song by an iconic band that few people have ever heard. maybe the best showcase of Freddie's talent that further demonstrates how great a frontman he was as this song wasn't written by him. God, how blessed is May to have had this demigod voice one of his best compositions? this song will get used in some great scene in some great film someday and it will be everywhere. lets hope so.

This is hitting on ALL CYLINDERS!!THEY WERE IN TOTAL HARMONY! CLASSIC ROCK N ROLL

A hidden masterpiece of Queen's music

I'm not a huge fan of the movie 'Observe and Report,' but at least I can thank that film for introducing me to this TERRIFIC song -- or, at least RE-introducing me to it. No doubt I'd heard it back in the day once or twice, but had long forgotten it. Some tunes on 'News of the World' tend to get buried underneath the weight of the megahits that are the first two tracks. Anyway...this song KICKS it.

One of their best songs ever taken from the very underrated News of the World album

HOW GOOD THIS SONG? SHOULD HOW BEEN A MULTI MILLION SELLERS NUMBER 1 ALL OVER THE WORLD

The hard rock guitar is just wow really

Freddie's voice was legendary before he became a legend

Elon Musk should set aside his Mars goal and build a time machine so I can return to 1977 and see Queen live once again, my first concert.

Ive seen critics say that the only good songs on this album were We will Rock You and We are the Champions. Please! THIS Song is WAY cooler and rockin than those bigger hits.

Just the most fabulous, underrated song ever. How it never got any air time will go down as one of the most perplexing mysteries of our time. WingsAndAsh - a masterpiece indeed!
