Queen - White Queen (As It Began) (Official Lyric Video) 

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!

This song is fucking beautiful and underrated.

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

Easily the most underrated Queen song!

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

This song is a heap of elegance, fragility and struggle for love. Ah... Brian...

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.

this song is so underrated

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.

Man The white queen The black queen The killer queen

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!

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.

This is such a Brian song.

This song is just magic

“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.

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.

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.

Ben Hardy said this was one of his most favourite Queen songs. I love him even more now.

A real masterpiece

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.

Unpopular opinion: white queen is Queen’s greatest ballad

It's a nice song, but let's face it, Freddie could sing the boston phonebook and it would be good.

Masterpiece of... music rock ?, no, just masterful song, beyond genres Magical

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.

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!

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!!!!

That 30 second bit from about 3:38 - 4:09 is pure magic. The whole song is really.. but that part especially.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

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!

2:51 this never gets old

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.

The Whole album is just pure magic✨

Holy shit! That guitar solo is just incredible!!

No Freddie, you're the Queen that walks, marches and blows my mind.

Queen 2 was easily their best album. And very few could name a single song on it.

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❤️

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.

Thank you Brian May for this beautiful song! Vocal delivery by Freddie is amazing too. Definitely a favorite for me.

This is one of the most beautiful ballads I've ever heard.

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!

Masterpiece. Takes me to another world ......

Queen II, the best of all the rest.

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??

I adore this entire album. This song can do magical things to any listener! Queen for now Queen forever!

The 3 first albums of Queen are top of the top...no group on this planet will ever reach this level!

Damn this song is like a good movie. Such a masterful band they were

Queen's most underrated song of there best album.

Queen II is their real masterpiece if you ask me. There's just something about it that's hard to describe.

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.

The live version is more soulful and emotional but every Queen song has its own magic especially the 1970s albums.

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.

Their best ballad by far.

I never knew a song could change your life until I started listening to Queen.

Oh my God, what a mass of Godly inspiration that took place at the time of this timeless BAND!

The guitar work on this track is so overlooked. Brilliant Brian May.

Queen were a very intelligent band. It showed in their music.

Freddie: "no tears in my eyes..." Me: you have no idea how are my eyes by this point, Freddie!

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.

This song is literally a kind of magic

This is such a beautiful song!! I don't have any words to express my feelings!!

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🎶

the guitar in this song never fails to absolutely crush my heart. i adore it so much.

Out of all the Queens this is the best of the trio in my opinion

The band's finest hour.Beauty and majesty

This song is so dedicated to someone out there that could have been the love of my life.

I swear that voice has taken my soul

I was forteen when this came out..great music.1974.. all the best.. semper fi

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

Hands down one of the best Queen songs I've ever heard. It's beautiful ❤️

This album is totally underrated.

The most beautiful song!

I love this! Sounds so midevil times

Brian May is such a beautiful and complex singer/ songwriter.

Queen II is the best album they ever did. Stunning record from start to finish.

The fact that Songs like this has only 3 million views, is the reason I don't care about fan favorites

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

Live at Hammersmith 1975 is the best version ever done of this song and Freddies piano playing along with Brian guitar playing in that live version will take you outta this universe. Anything that can give you tears and chills at the same time is amazing. Seriously, go listen to that one and come back, there is zero comparison between the two. It's like two totally different songs. Oh and I would 100% wear headphones for that one for full effect! You're welcome! 😉

One of the most perfect albums ever made

One of their best songs and surely one of their most underrated

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 really doesn't have a bad song at all

the guitar in this song is-💜💖💙💘💜💖❤💙💜💚💞💜💖💗💕💚💖💙💛💜❤💘💛💜💖💕💚💘

This song is poetic. So underrated.

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.

The March of the Black Queen, White Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody are three of the best songs to please my ears!

Beautiful Beautiful words no one writes music like this anymore! 😁💓👍

The LIVE performance of this song perfectly shows Freddie's raw power....especially during the piano solo. Queen is just a MONSTER band.

This is my favorite queen song. Beautiful vocals, composition, lyrics, mood, it’s all just incredible.

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 💗🎸

This is completely and utterly beautiful

Happy 45th Anniversary to Queen II. Such a brilliant, beautiful, perfect album. White Queen is my favorite song from this album.

Simply magical song ... Thank you, Brian

I've got chills all over my arms

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

I love the haunting sounds from Brian's guitar...Just Brilliant!! Freddie's voice, drums and bass. Classic Queen!

I really think this is better than Bohemian Rhapsody. In my mind QUEEN II is their best aldbumby far!

Best backing vocals ever.....helps it is probably one the best Queen songs

Brian’s multi guitar parts during the lead break are amazing!

Queen II the must unrreanted álbum in rock history
