This song is exquisite, John writes the most beautiful songs. Freddie's breath and vocal control in this one is beyond human. John is playing a synth on this song but the sax is being played by a real human sax player and there actually is a string section playing as well. Thank you for a great reaction. This song incites images of a couple dancing all alone, on a small dance floor, in very dim light, in a bar at closing time, not wanting for the night to end.
Mate i have been a Queen fan since 1974 and have seen them live 23 times, (with Freddie), plus the Tribute concert at Wembley. They have been and remain part of my life and are still quite simply the greatest band ever to exist for more reasons than i can go in to. I have to say i have seen many reviews and reactions to their music on you you tube over the years but have found your channel to be the greatest of them all, it's real, it's passionate and it's honest, so well done and keep up the good work. Can i just make a quick request, staying power live at milton keynes bowl, fun it from the jazz album and long away from a day at the races. cheers for all you do.
I can honestly write this exact thing you wrote about you, about myself MINUS the “I’ve seen them live 23 times” part. You lucky lucky guy!!! I was birthing babies from 80-90 in the US and never went (would have had to travel to one, nothing was near me ever) to a concert - stupid me. Well, thank heavens TH-cam was created so I can watch all of what I missed!!!
@@jodiwood5311 yeah too true! there is so much amazing footage out there plus re-vamped bootlegs to enjoy now, apart from the obvious performances, check out the queen on fire dvd live from milton keynes bowl in 1982, this is one of my personal favourites and was a great day.
Twenty-three times. I'd ask you to pick a favorite, but how could you...For the videos online that you see and were there for...I say simply you are TRULY a time traveler. The rest of are transported there but YOU WERE THERE.
Freddie is so on point. I can feel his emotion,he almost cries in his delivery to bring this incredible depth. He is the only one of his time to give this emotion to create such sadness,yet beautiful. He has my heart forevermore. I miss him and will forever. He was a master and he sang from his heart in all he gave to us. So, people cherish this musical God. David,I love your response.
This one must hold the record for the most "JackthatBacks"! A beautiful,beautiful song by John Deacon, and Freddie's vocals are sublime. Love the way you pointed out tiny elements in Freddie's vocals which bring this performance to another level. Magic!
One of my favorite Freddie vocals ever!! Of course, Freddie loved singing Deaky’s songs so it doesn’t surprise me that Freddie gives it every emotion it deserves!! Another brilliant song from the Highlander movie 🎥. Thanks David!!
Outstanding! Thx for unearthing all the magic behind the amazing Mr Mercury’s interpretation of Deacy’s masterpiece. I listen to this daily on my greatest hits cd as I drive into work. Work it, Queen! 🙋🏽♀️✌🏾👑
The vocals in this song are like a seismic earthquake. A gem above gems. So glad you got to this. Flip side: Pain is so close to pleasure. Different vibe but related.
Thanks for that! It's so enchanting. Absolutely brilliant. Freddie naturally kills. The saxophone is played by Steve Gregory. You are an incredible music expert and you can perfectly capture all the sounds and nuances. You are a great and professional reactor. Thank you!
Oh,David, his heart and soul went into this. It was sensuous, yet extremely sad ...Only Freddie could deliver such emotion . Pain and pleasure is so connected . Only Freddie could deliver this actual emotion.
Ahhh John … he wrote the most most relatable lyrics and Freddie delivered as Freddie did xx 💋 Let’s be honest 40 + years on ??? Never dates and not much compares re originality and authenticity eh ?? Think about it … 40 freaking years !!! Go figure eh ??? John and Highlander ??? Pure magic …
One of John's best 👌 .. And another shout out for Ogre battle, The fairy Fellers Master-stroke and Nevermore .. And Teo Torriate for Freddie showing off his linguistic skills
Another Queen gem Deacy wrote some great songs . Another great reaction David.And of course Freddie as usual did this song justice as he did with all Queen songs.
Such a beautiful song, beautifully sung. Loved the reaction. You pointed out so many little things that I just took for granted because a) It's Queen. Greatness is usual, and b) I usually have the headphones on, swaying along with my eyes closed, just letting it wash over me like a warm breeze!
Great reaction,it's so emotional romantic I got chills all over Freddie's voice it's just an angel so touching and his range outstanding just no one like freddie God music love him ❤ ♥ forever
I love this song and really enjoyed your insight. You should react to The Golden Boy. Its Freddie with Montserrat Caballe for another tremendous song. The song has a few surprises that you'd enjoy. 👍
Another fantastic reaction. Definitely you'll have to do Pain is so close to pleasure. Sail away sweet sister my baby does me the list just goes on and on 👍👍
David you are the best !! Pause away ✌🏼 I love hearing tiny slivers and slices of songs I’ve loved for years… and it’s wonderful hearing WHY I love them!
John wrote this in reference to the Highlander movie. Freddie did just a great job on it. He loved to sing John’s ballads. Please react to Tie your Mother Down Saturday 7/12 Wembley performance 1986. The Saturday was better than the Friday one, IMO By the way, I had to laugh at your reaction to Bicycle Race. Unfortunately, Queen wasn’t available to see the naked models ride around the track at Wembley. They really pushed the envelope. They could get away with it back then!! Lol
I just rewatched your reaction to In My Defence. You really loved the parts with the dove transforming into Freddie and him reaching for it. it‘s all from the official video of Save Me from their album The Game (1980). So cool if you’d react to it.
Thank you for this sweet thang, David. this is an ultimate uncool track and understand the stupid truth of Deaky's lyric and Freddie's understanding of how important love is whatever.
Thank you again David, I adore this song. Your reactions always point out the little things that make Queen's music so perfect. I always listen to the song again after your video and hear it a bit better then. Some day perhaps you will be the first person to react to La Japonaise from the Barcelona album. Very beautiful and totally different.
Great review. I really love all the Jack that Backs! I really want to hear all the things you notice. I’ve been listening thousands of times to Queen songs since 1974 and I haven’t heard stuff that you point out!🤣 From Wiki about the saxophone: “The saxophone is played by Steve Gregory, a session musician who had previously performed on George Michael's 1984 number one "Careless Whisper". Yes, totally right about 80s music (60s 70s too of course) that those little parts ARE human!
So just am relisting to ur Queen reactions an got to say this song is becoming one of my top 5 an I love how you break it all down Jesus Sometimes I just can't get Enough of Freddie's voice thank you take care David 💯♾️👑🌹💙💙💙🧡🧡🖤🖤💕💓💥🌟💘✌️
The sax player in this song is the same sax player in George Michael’s CARELESS WHISPER. John really wanted the sax 🎷 instead of a Brian May solo! Hmmmm
Beautiful reaction David love John’s songs very underated song writer although he wrote some of there greatest songs keep the reactions coming great to see you take care x
Chris deac's never wrote much compared to roger, freddie and brian but every one his his songs are real quality, well written songs all the way back to misfire, he was indeed our secret weapon and i miss him as much as i miss freddie 👑✊🇬🇧
Nice reaction. I'd love to see you react to Queen's rock ballad Let Me In Your Heart Again (th-cam.com/video/NWzeNnq1-rA/w-d-xo.html). It was a 'new' song they released just a few years ago after discovering an unfinished demo of a song from the mid-80s and forgot they never finished it and realised they had enough material to finish the instrumental production and put it out. I think it has a really impressive vocal and also the way they did the arrangement is excellent. Please avoid the William Orbit remix though, as it rips the guts out of the song and you don't have all of Brian's great guitar work!
A John Deacon masterpiece. Written for Highlander.....have you watched it yet? It's worth it for the music alone. Thank you for yet another great reaction. I know you have a long list but I think you would love Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy, great for those incredible harmonies you like so much. Thanks again David!
Hola David. Esta canción causo una gran discusion entre John y Brian, debido a que John no deseaba incluir guitarras en la canción. Finalmente, un enojado Brian se negó a participar en la grabación de la canción y nunca fue tocada en vivo, quizás debido a las diferencias entre los dos integrantes de la banda. Otro tema que causo discusión entre estos dos "leones" fue la canción originalmente funky llamada "Back Chat", en donde unos años antes Btian le torció la mano a John y se incluyó un solo de guitarra, dándole un estilo mas rock al tema. Quizás puedas hacer una reaccion de esa canción. PS: "One Year of Love" hace alusión directa al tema "Pain Is so Close to Pleasure" compuesta por John y Freddie. Otra sugerencia de reacción que dejo por si acaso.
Freddie and John - two romantics, such a beautiful love song
This song is exquisite, John writes the most beautiful songs. Freddie's breath and vocal control in this one is beyond human. John is playing a synth on this song but the sax is being played by a real human sax player and there actually is a string section playing as well. Thank you for a great reaction.

Staying Power live -- very much underrated; good choice, my friend.
Definitely Staying Power!!! Amazing show!!!!!
John's contribution to the Highlander soundtrack. Absolutely stunning.
The sax player is Steve Gregory the guy who played in one most well known songs of the 80ies George Michael's - Careless Whisper
Before it starts I’m betting the Jack that back knob might just break.
Such an amazing song from John & dear God Freddie delivers it.
Great reaction.
😂
Freddie pulled out his entire arsenal of vocals in this beautiful song!!!🔥🔥🔥 John is a beast when it comes to writing!❤️❤️❤️
This song is absolutely amazing, wonderful, genius, outstanding.
John really is a hidden diamond, and sooooooooooooo romantic.
Way to go, David 💯🤘👏😎
Love Freddies voice, phrasing and emotion in this. Great song by John.
I love their jazzy songs and Freddie's vocal control is on the top in this one.
Freddie is so on point. I can feel his emotion,he almost cries in his delivery to bring this incredible depth. He is the only one of his time to give this emotion to create such sadness,yet beautiful. He has my heart forevermore. I miss him and will forever.

One of my favorite Freddie vocals ever!! Of course, Freddie loved singing Deaky’s songs so it doesn’t surprise me that Freddie gives it every emotion it deserves!! Another brilliant song from the Highlander movie 🎥. Thanks David!!
Freddie draws you in during the first 5 words. Just magical. Beautiful. Soulful. Relatable and our Freddie IS the music. Miss him so...
Outstanding! Thx for unearthing all the magic behind the amazing Mr Mercury’s interpretation of Deacy’s masterpiece. I listen to this daily on my greatest hits cd as I drive into work. Work it, Queen! 🙋🏽♀️✌🏾👑
Wonderful, sweet song by Deaky, beautiful lyrics ❤ Freddie said he loved singing John's songs and he showcases this beautifully
The vocals in this song are like a seismic earthquake. A gem above gems. So glad you got to this. Flip side: Pain is so close to pleasure. Different vibe but related.
Thanks for that! It's so enchanting. Absolutely brilliant. Freddie naturally kills. The saxophone is played by
Steve Gregory. You are an incredible music expert and you can perfectly capture all the sounds and nuances.
You are a great and professional reactor. Thank you!
Oh,David, his heart and soul went into this. It was sensuous, yet extremely sad ...Only Freddie could deliver such emotion . Pain and pleasure is so connected . Only Freddie could deliver this actual emotion.
Ahhh
John … he wrote the most most relatable lyrics
and Freddie delivered as Freddie did xx 💋
Let’s be honest
40 + years on ??? Never dates and not much compares re originality and authenticity eh ??
Think about it … 40 freaking years !!! Go figure eh ???
John and Highlander ??? Pure magic …
One of John's best 👌 ..
And another shout out for Ogre battle, The fairy Fellers Master-stroke and Nevermore ..

Another Queen gem Deacy wrote some great songs .
Another great reaction David.And of course Freddie as usual did this song justice as he did with all Queen songs.
One of my favorite Freddie vocals. John really knew how to write for him. This one always gets me emotional. Great reaction.

I love this song and really enjoyed your insight. You should react to The Golden Boy. Its Freddie with Montserrat Caballe for another tremendous song. The song has a few surprises that you'd enjoy. 👍
That must be on the list by now the number of times it has been requested
I think a lot of people have asked for that one......would love him to react to it too.
Such a beautiful song. Love the lyrics.
I love all the ballad type songs. Thanks for reacting to this one. Another one to react to us Jealousy from the Jazz album.
Love that song 👍👍
Or In Only Seven Days, another great one from Jazz album
Another fantastic reaction. Definitely you'll have to do Pain is so close to pleasure. Sail away sweet sister my baby does me the list just goes on and on 👍👍
Pain is so close to pleasure is a song that always makes me think of Diana Ross. It just shows the diversity of Queen.
Eine Empfehlung für die tolle Playlist von Queen" Rock in Rio Blues". Freddies Stimmvielfalt in vollendeter Form.❤
David you are the best !! Pause away ✌🏼 I love hearing tiny slivers and slices of songs I’ve loved for years… and it’s wonderful hearing WHY I love them!

Another great song where Freddie has a really high note is the song: Hang on in there.
John wanted a saxophone solo instead of a guitar solo.
@Theresa Randall And he was right!
John had an impeccable ear … like Freddie. They were so good together. 👍
A song I wish they did live
Lovely video as well
Awesome movie
I just rewatched your reaction to In My Defence. You really loved the parts with the dove transforming into Freddie and him reaching for it. it‘s all from the official video of Save Me from their album The Game (1980). So cool if you’d react to it.
Yes I love that video
Every time he reaches out.....😥
Love David’s reaction to In My Defense … and the Freddie dove moment 😢
Such a beautiful song by Queens secret weapon John ❤️ brilliant reaction David loved it 😊 x
Thank you for this sweet thang, David. this is an ultimate uncool track and understand the stupid truth of Deaky's lyric and Freddie's understanding of how important love is whatever.
Yeh that’s me - made my day. Thanks David. A beautifully written song, that’s just as beautifully sung ❤️ definitely one to sway along with.
Such a fun song to sing. It is enjoyable seeing you absorb techniques you can use in your own vocals. Best of luck. 🍀
Thank you again David, I adore this song. Your reactions always point out the little things that make Queen's music so perfect.

Great reaction David. I love how you notice every detail.
Wow! A Queen song I don't think I've heard before. I thought I had them all. Love your appreciation for all the details in music!
I love your enthusiasm!!!
You’re great. Picked up all the innuendos. Love to see you happy. You give me so much pleasure.
3:19 it's a F#5
I really love watching your reactions to Queen.
David great reaction as always check out scandal and breakthrough 👍👍
Hey David. Just checking in. You doing alright. Miss your Queen reactions. I'm half a planet away, but I'm thinking about your wellness. Be safe.
Great reaction, man! Jajajaja its a beautiful song and freddy is a matchless singer!!
Queens secret weapon John Deacon, he had more hits per song written and this is a prime example of a real classic
Chris deac's never wrote much compared to roger, freddie and brian but every one his his songs are real quality, well written songs all the way back to misfire, he was indeed our secret weapon and i miss him as much as i miss freddie 👑✊🇬🇧
Thanks! Yep - this is another "Highlander" song --:)

That was great! Thanks a lot!
Thank you David gosh I have been so sick but seeing you an hearing this was well needed 🦋♾️💯💘🤘

It was a Freddie note and showed his emotions . I believe this was from "Highlander."
Great reaction to a a very underrated track! 👑👍🥂
A John Deacon masterpiece. Written for Highlander.....have you watched it yet? It's worth it for the music alone. Thank you for yet another great reaction. I know you have a long list but I think you would love Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy, great for those incredible harmonies you like so much. Thanks again David!
Love the 'live' BBC Top of the Pops video for that one
@@allanriach Oh yes! David would enjoy it I'm sure
I will recommend another song written by John need your loving tonight live agreat song just listen to it I think you'll love it,
You would love the Official Video on this beauty as well, for sure with has scenes from the Highlander movie. It is very powerful!
Great!
💕
please, react to queen "I Was Born To Love You", is amazing song!

Was that all Freddie in the chorus
that note was a F5
9:16 the synths
Please, react to Queen - Made in Heaven.
I think my favourite Queen song. But I wonder if he has ever sung it live.
Just out of interest, where in the Uk are you from. Man*?
You choose the 👌 best brilliant,amazing 👌
react to queen you don't fool me
Musicians playing musical instruments mate..th
This song isn't one of Queen's better ones, to be honest.
It's the sort of thing that Kirk van Houten from The Simpsons would sing.
Pausing after every line, ridiculous.
