One of the most romantic love songs ever. Anyone who thinks it's about "friend-zoning" someone either isn't listening to the lyrics, or is a very sad, sad person who's never been best friends with the person they're in love with. Let me tell you, it's the greatest relationship in the world.
@@andyisdead Not in the slightest. I've found that whenever I'm best friends with a S/O first, it opens up a whole level of communication than what you would get from just meeting someone at a party. There's a fundamental knowledge of each other as you hit a wavelength taking you in a new and beautiful direction. You can be best friends and in love all at once, and it's actually how I prefer to fall in love.
Yes. I have a friend, younger and having a tough time. When I almost made horrible decisions, she said : "Don't listen to ppl who say bad things. You're not that kind of person. You have a real heart." Now , with my head held up high, I am returning the love. Open heart makes the best friendship. Her son brings me smiles. She has taught me to succeed at being the best man possible. She is also romantic. Gotta love it :)
"You're My Best Friend" Ooh, you make me live Whatever this world can give to me It's you, you're all I see Ooh, you make me live now, honey Ooh, you make me live Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had I've been with you such a long time You're my sunshine And I want you to know That my feelings are true I really love you (Ooh) Oh, you're my best friend Ooh, you make me live Ooh, I've been wandering 'round ('Round) But still come back to you (Ooh, still come back to you) In rain or shine, you've stood by me, girl (Girl) I'm happy at home (happy at home) You're my best friend Ooh, you make me live Whenever this world is cruel to me I got you to help me forgive Ooh, you make me live now, honey Ooh, you make me live Oh, you're the first one When things turn out bad You know I'll never be lonely You're my only one And I love the things I really love the things that you do Oh, you're my best friend (Oh) Ooh, you make me live (Live, live, live) I'm happy, happy at home You're my best friend, oh Oh, you're my best friend Ooh, you make me live, ooh Ooh, you're my best friend
I’ll never know how Freddie’s voice can be so powerful yet so gentle at the same time. You can tell he puts all of himself into his performances and yet he still looks so carefree and easy. RIP Freddie. You are a legend, and you will be loved and revered until the end of time.
Lyrics: Ooh, you make me live Whatever this world can give to me, It’s you, you’re all I see Ooh, you make me live now, honey Ooh, you make me live Oh, you’re the best friend That I ever had I’ve been with you such a long time, You’re my sunshine And I want you to know That my feelings are true I really love you Oh, you’re my best friend Ooh, you make me live Ooh, I’ve been wandering ‘round But still comes back to you (Still come back to you) In rain or shine, You’ve stood by me, girl I’m happy at home (Happy at home) You’re my best friend Ooh, you make me live Whenever this world is cruel to me, I got you, to help me forgive Ooh, you make me live now, honey Ooh, you make me live Oh, you’re the first one, When things turn out bad, You know I’ll never be lonely, You’re my only one And I love the things, I really love the things that you do Oh, you’re my best friend Ooh, you make me live (Live, live, live, live...) I’m happy, happy at home You’re my best friend Ohhhh... Ohhhh, you’re my best friend Ooh, you make me live, ooh You, you’re my best friend
I remember in an interview, Freddie preferred the sound of the grand piano over the Wurlitzer electric keyboard. So he wouldn't play it and John Deacon had to play the keyboards for that song. Same with One Vision, Brian May had to play the keyboards for the intro.
My best friend Lee Ann died just died. We were best friends for 39 years. She and I are (were) huge Queen fans. I decided to have this played at her memorial service. Screw anyone who doesn’t think it’s appropriate for a memorial service in a church. Love you forever darlin’!
22 years ago today, my Mom passed away. Cruelly taken at just 53 years old to Cancer. At her funeral, as her final song, her last goodbye, she chose this. It wasn't for her, it was for my Dad. She was saying thank you to him for being her friend. To this day, it remains the purest show of love I've ever seen in my entire life, and perfectly sums-up the relationship they had. If I could, I would love to personally thank Queen, and in particular John Deacon for recording this song. It still lifts me when I'm down, and reminds me of the most wonderful Mom I could have wished for.
Freddie was disgust of electric piano, which he would later explain a mediocre cheap-looking (and like stuff) one against grand piano. So Deaky took it home and tried it, leading to creation of this song. While Freddie acknowledged the song's greatness, (Their recording session had never been peaceful. Bri said in every session of it, there's always one who cursed out loud and said "That's it. I quit!" In a band where everyone was genius, all were perfectionists about their album.) he still spoke non-positively of eletric piano, the very origin of their hit. Even during tour, Freddie would play grand piano for this song.
As an 18 year old getting into Queen it's amazing how many of their songs I've heard and had stuck in my head without knowing it was even them. Legendary.
This is actually the anti-friendzone song. And imo, maybe the sweetest love song ever. John Deacon wrote it for his wife, and learned to play the piano just to make this song (Freddie refused to play the electric piano). John is still married to her, and they had 6 children.
Perhaps he was a great loss, but the memories and songs they gave us will live on forever and we will always have them. None of us knows how long we are in this life. I am grateful for such wonderful music.
I didn't realize, when I was younger, that this song was a Queen song. I still can't believe the amount of stunning songs these 4 artists wrote. Its ABSOLUTELY mind blowing!!!
I can't believe how many Queen songs I heard growing up in the 90's. I never realized they made so many hits until now it's amazing. After watching the Bohemian Rhapsody trailers months ago I started looking up their music videos and it's crazy how I've heard of at least 10 Queen songs without really knowing it was them.
One of the many things I love about Queen is that they were all songwriters. A lot of bands have one or two main writers and occasionally one of the other members will contribute a song or two every other album but everyone in Queen wrote and each of them is responsible for at least a couple of essential tracks from the band's discography.
All 4 members of Queen have written at least 3 Number Ones (the only band in the world to have all members do so), meaning that the whole band is in the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.
I did... Adam Seymour 12/7/65-3/3/16. Adam was really my best friend, and I miss him everyday. We were only married a little over a year before Adam died of a stroke. 😔😔😔😔
When I was younger, I enjoyed listening to We Are The Champions, Another One Bites the Dust, We Will Rock You, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Somebody To Love and I Want To Break Free, in movies and sometimes on the radio, and I never knew they were all by the same band, Queen is definitely one of the best bands in history.
Oh this one is his too? Aww he love to write about friendship. Sweet guy. He should still be writing even if he's not active in the band. I mean Queen got their US no. 1 thanks to him.
Happy Birthday to the only dancing bassist on earth. There will never be another. The bass and drums sound good together. Any other bass player just stands there. Queen has style, strangeness which attracts me and vibrant things. LHM..cy
Saw Queen do this live in Philly in November of '77, with a very dear friend. I held her up on my shoulders for most of the concert. A night I'll never forget.
I love that all the comments in here are joking about friend zoning when I’ve always thought this is probably one of the most earnestly romantic songs I’ve ever heard in my life. Genuinely my favourite Queen song. Simple, beautiful melody and of course written by the one and only Deacy!
Mine and my Hubby's song - he passed away on January 2, 2019 - the day after his 52nd birthday. We were together for 23 years. I miss my best friend more than words can say. Forever and a Day My Love! See you on the other side!
I love that John wrote this song for his wife till this day Veronica. And how Freddie refused to play the electric piano so John learned how to play just for this song.
the lyrics Ooh, you make me live Whatever this world can give to me It's you you're all I see Ooh, you make me live now, honey Ooh, you make me live Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had I've been with you such a long time You're my sunshine and I want you to know That my feelings are true I really love you Oh, you're my best friend Ooh, you make me live Ooh, I've been wandering 'round Still come back to you (still come back to you) In rain or shine, you've stood by me girl I'm happy at home (happy at home) You're my best friend Ooh, you make me live Whenever this world is cruel to me I got you to help me forgive Ooh, you make me live now, honey Ooh, you make me live Oh, you're the first one when things turn out bad You know I'll never be lonely You're my only one And I love the things I really love the things that you do Oh, you're my best friend, oh Ooh, you make me live, live, live, live I'm happy, happy at home You're my best friend Oh Oh, you're my best friend Ooh, you make me live Ooh, you're my best friend
take a moment to appreciate Deaky's greatness... easily the most underrated member, he was as talented as the others, if not more... think I love you John!
Just finished watching this video in a hospital room with my mom. It's been two days since her surgery. She's been on a Queen bringe. Looking at her singing along brought tears into my eyes. I'm thankful to still have her in my life and this song will always remind of this moment. Thank you Freddie , Brain, John and Roger!
Reminds me of how fortunate I’ve been to have had so many fantastic, loyal friends throughout my life! Through thick and thin they are always there! Love you!
I know John wrote this for his wife but I can't help but feel when Queen play this song together and they are looking at each other, they're also telling each other "you're my best friend"..
He wrote it for his wife. he also shared it with his good friend John Paul Jones of Zeppelin for his wife. both men are married a long time to their wives, and that speaks for itself
My all time favorite band. This was the first song played at me and my wife's wedding. 17 years, three kids, a couple of health scares later, she's still my best friend. Thank you Queen!
John Deacon wrote this song about his wife. This song features a Fender Rhodes electric piano, which was a popular choice at the time, with many rock songs by the likes of Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan using the instrument. John Deacon wanted to write a song incorporating the instrument, but Freddie Mercury did not want to play it. "I refused to play that damn thing," Mercury said. "It's tiny and horrible and I don't like them. Why play those when you have a lovely superb piano." So Deacon took the Rhodes home, learned to play it, and started writing this song.
@@tedstranix7703 Actually, Brian has played a banjo-ukulele in few songs like Good Company and Bring Back That Leroy Brown(maybe even more, can't remember at the moment...)
Why are there so many stories of John learning new instruments in a short period of time. For the making of '39, Brian, jokingly, asked John to play the double bass, and John actually took it to the studio and started learning it.
Honestly my favorite Queen song. It's just pure and joyful and so spirited. You can just hear the love Deacon has for his wife. It's so simple too, which emboldens it for me. It's true love in the form of music.
Only 45 years old. What a shame we lost an inspirational man in 1991. I wasn't even born yet. I wish I was though. RIP To the King of Queen, Freddie Mercury.
I have never loved a band before like I love Queen, and I highly doubt I ever will. Those guys were so good together, totally in sync. Noone can ever replace Freddie Mercury, and that is so sad, because he was such a big part of the band. I love them all, though.
I lost my best friend, my dog Fettuccini Alfredo (Alfie) this week and this song helped me through the tears. Rest in Peace, best friend ever. Thank you, Freddy Mercury. I hope you find him in Heaven, he's a good boy.
Whoever came up with the saying that a dog is a man's best friend is right. My little dog is 14 and still going strong and he is my best friend. They're always by your side. Dogs love their owners so much they will even try and put their lives on the line for you.
This is a song i would play at my wedding and my funeral. It feels like the purest display of love one can pull off. Rest in peace Freddie Mercury and thanks to John for writing this masterpiece.

Ooh, you make me live Whatever this world can give to me It's you you're all I see Ooh, you make me live now honey Ooh, you make me live Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had I've been with you such a long time You're my sunshine and I want you to know That my feelings are true I really love you Oh, you're my best friend Ooh, you make me live Ooh, I've been wandering 'round But I still come back to you In rain or shine You've stood by me girl I'm happy at home You're my best friend Ooh, you make me live Whenever this world is cruel to me I got you to help me forgive Ooh, you make me live now honey Ooh, you make me live You're the first one When… A Night at the opera
This is a masterpiece of melody and composition by John. The bass line is smooth and melodious, and I think this is one of the most beautiful Queen songs. A must learn for any bassist.
Every time we go on a family road trip, my father plays his classic rock, and he got it engraved into my brain, I cannot stop listening to queen, and this has to be one of my favorites
I dedicated this song to my unborn son, i'm 36 weeks pregnant and i've listened to this song every day ever since i found out i was pregnant, it always makes me want to cry
January 18th, 2020 ~ Wishing John and Veronica Best Wishes today as they celebrate 45 years of marriage! Happy Anniversary! Together since 1/18.1975. Note to Veronica: Thanks so much for sharing your husband with the whole world for those 20 years so he could make history as he helped to create the most wonderful music with the greatest rock band there ever was or ever will be.
I was having a cuddle with my cat this morning and as I was telling him how much I loved him, I broke into song and started singing "You're My Best Friend" As I'm old and forgetful now, I did a Google search and appearing on my screen was Freddy Mercury singing "You're My Best friend". I nearly started to cry and have it saved in my Fave Music file. I am 73yo and the memories keep flooding back. I think music is a great memory 'jogger"🌿💗🎶🎶🎶💗🌿🙏🇦🇺
Just lost my pup of a blessed 17 years, She was my bestfriend.. This is the only song that comes to mind. She was always there for me and loved unconditionally. I'm going to miss her terribly. All the love for you people out there and I wish you a beautiful day. Keep your bestfriends close and Love them forever. No matter what.
This song just about says it all for me. I'm 51 years old. This song came out when I was a kid. It reminds me of my teenage years. Those days are gone and can never be recovered. This song reminds me of this time. I remember when this song came out, I thought that nothing ever sounded so good. Thanks Queen.
Freddie: Love of my life
Brian: Too much love will kill you
John: you're my best friend
Roger: *Im iN LoVe wItH mY cAr*
Lol, that really explains the band perfectly
Brian:fat bottomed girls
I’m a car guy

One of the most romantic love songs ever. Anyone who thinks it's about "friend-zoning" someone either isn't listening to the lyrics, or is a very sad, sad person who's never been best friends with the person they're in love with. Let me tell you, it's the greatest relationship in the world.
Listen to 'You take my Breath Away'... It's perfection.
'best friends with the person they're in love with' is the definition of friendzone
Siyestrietza agreed
@@andyisdead Not in the slightest. I've found that whenever I'm best friends with a S/O first, it opens up a whole level of communication than what you would get from just meeting someone at a party. There's a fundamental knowledge of each other as you hit a wavelength taking you in a new and beautiful direction. You can be best friends and in love all at once, and it's actually how I prefer to fall in love.
Yes. I have a friend, younger and having a tough time. When I almost made horrible decisions, she said : "Don't listen to ppl who say bad things. You're not that kind of person.

Even though Fred hated the electric piano, he still loved Deaky!
Amazing
Why? Acoustic piano is wonderful. Electric piano tunes often are used in a percussive, rhythmic groove.
Freddie was disgust of electric piano, which he would later explain a mediocre cheap-looking (and like stuff) one against grand piano. So Deaky took it home and tried it, leading to creation of this song. While Freddie acknowledged the song's greatness, (Their recording session had never been peaceful.

After nearly 33 years, nobody could replace Freddie Mercury and become such an outstandig frontman like him! A great loss in music history!
Perhaps he was a great loss, but the memories and songs they gave us will live on forever and we will always have them. None of us knows how long we are in this life. I am grateful for such wonderful music.

Happy Birthday to the only dancing bassist on earth. There will never be another. The bass and drums sound good together. Any other bass player just stands there. Queen has style, strangeness which attracts me and vibrant things. LHM..cy
Next year, John and his wife Veronica will be celebrating their 50th anniversary. ❤
Yes and this is wonderful ❤
This Song is like John Deacon: calm, reserved and awesome!
And adorable...
Oh yeah calm, reserved and awesome..Great song..

Sweet moment

Nice,…I walk the line…the last dance she was mine
Saw Queen do this live in Philly in November of '77, with a very dear friend. I held her up on my shoulders for most of the concert. A night I'll never forget.
so nisc
I love that all the comments in here are joking about friend zoning when I’ve always thought this is probably one of the most earnestly romantic songs I’ve ever heard in my life. Genuinely my favourite Queen song. Simple, beautiful melody and of course written by the one and only Deacy!
It's so cute, it gives me warm fuzzies all the time and I love it.
I danced with my mother to this song at my wedding, she passed in 2018 from cancer only 63 years young. She was and will always be my best friend! ❤️
This was played at my mums funeral. She died 21 yrs ago from cancer. I was 15 at the time and she was and always will be my best friend 😢💔
❤ ❤
you are awesome

Mine and my Hubby's song - he passed away on January 2, 2019 - the day after his 52nd birthday. We were together for 23 years. I miss my best friend more than words can say. Forever and a Day My Love! See you on the other side!

Stay strong❤

Its alright im sure hes watching over you in heaven 😊
One of the best songs of all time, such positivity. A tune that can automatic lift one up. Thank you, Queen.
Yes!! 👍👍
Absolutely ❤
I hope John Deacon knows how much this is appreciated!!
@@nanaprn7809, same here. Thank you, Mr Deacon. Enjoy your retirement.
Unless you don’t have a best friend, then it makes you cry
2019, Freddie, Brian, Roger and John are still loved by young people... They are legends...
Absolutely they are.
True, but people of exactly 36 years old hate them.
Strange, but it's a fact.
John Deacon is Queen's Secret Weapon.
It's Frozen Hitler
what a good song
True
A really quiet one
I like how Freddie wrote songs about wanting love and John was like "look what i wrote for *MY WIFE* "
Still don't believe anyone has came out and surpassed him with a better voice. He is literally the greatest of all time!!!
I totally agree!!!!! 🙂
I love that John wrote this song for his wife till this day Veronica. And how Freddie refused to play the electric piano so John learned how to play just for this song.
Didn't know that. Thanks. More reason that John D is/was a beast!!!
Why did Freddie refuse to play the piano?
Why dod freddie refuse?
@@angelinanguyen767 because Freddie really didn't like playing electric piano, he liked to play on grand piano, see the wikipedia of this song
@@mercury8793 because Freddie really didn't like playing electric piano, he liked to play on grand piano
the lyrics
Ooh, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live
Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh, you're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, I've been wandering 'round
Still come back to you (still come back to you)
In rain or shine, you've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home (happy at home)
You're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live
Oh, you're the first one when things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
Oh, you're my best friend, oh
Ooh, you make me live, live, live, live
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend
Oh
Oh, you're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, you're my best friend

Thanks for the lyrics
Fantastic song! Thanks for the lyrics!
❤️💜💚
Thank you.
Bold of u to assume i need lyrics 🤔
take a moment to appreciate Deaky's greatness... easily the most underrated member, he was as talented as the others, if not more... think I love you John!
Samuele De Santis He wrote some of Queen’s best songs. He was truly their secret weapon 👍
Possibly the best love song ever written.
Imagine be John’s wife and he wrote this song for u. THE CUTEST HUMAN EVER ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Deacy Is so cute
No wonder they had so many kids, if a man writes this beauty for me he could get it everyday 😏
He never wrote it!! None of queen wrote it! It’s a wayland Holyfield song!
@@dondamon4669 he did wrote it
nobody is talking about how deaky iS ON THE PIANO, SINGING AND PLAYING
THAT IS THE CUTEST THING EVER
What makes this song so emotional CottonCandyKitties.
He plays so many instruments, a lot of casual fans dont realize how talented they all are not just freddie
Actually for this song, Freddie played the eletric piano.
@@kyrios0307 Freddie refused to play the electric piano, saying he hated it.
@@jajaleco Freddie's refusal forced Deacon to learn the part himself.
Just finished watching this video in a hospital room with my mom. It's been two days since her surgery. She's been on a Queen bringe. Looking at her singing along brought tears into my eyes. I'm thankful to still have her in my life and this song will always remind of this moment. Thank you Freddie , Brain, John and Roger!
Carlos Soto That’s a touching comment. Hope your mum and you are okay.
Easily the most underrated Queen song. Spectacular!
John deacon is so sweet! 💗 Just imagine how lucky his wife is!
Pong Wong are you joking? He’s married to Veronica and they have 6 children.
BenDizzy19 it’s true...
@@miyasat man what was his comment? Seems he deleted it and I wanna know now
unowen7591 he said something like that “John Deacon lives alone and have no wife and children”.
Id rather be with Roger...😁
Freddie: I’m not playing this stupid electric piano
John:hold my bass
hahahaaha
John was Freddie's true friend
on a serious note though, this song is super sweet! the fact that john wrote it for his wife warms my heart
Reminds me of how fortunate I’ve been to have had so many fantastic, loyal friends throughout my life! Through thick and thin they are always there! Love you!
I know John wrote this for his wife but I can't help but feel when Queen play this song together and they are looking at each other, they're also telling each other "you're my best friend"..
I doubt that very much. LOL
@@Leander_ No one gives a crap, fake fan.
He wrote it for his wife. he also shared it with his good friend John Paul Jones of Zeppelin for his wife. both men are married a long time to their wives, and that speaks for itself
MÁ M A
@@TheaterPup well, queen werent the best of friends to eachother, and thats a known fact lol
Their lyrics were truly made from love and passion, not for the money.
ye
hola chida
This is real music, not that post-2000 hip hop trash.
god bless john deacon
My all time favorite band. This was the first song played at me and my wife's wedding. 17 years, three kids, a couple of health scares later, she's still my best friend. Thank you Queen!
Seeing John Play the elec. Piano, and seeing Him singing a Song for his wife , is just the cutest thing ever!!
Me: the lyrics
My crush: the title
:(
Comi-cchi this is perfectly me omg 😂
it hurt buddy
Same. Sad boi hour.😧

Best songwriter on Queen my version :
1.Mercury
2.Deacon
3.May
4.Taylor
same
Mine:
1 Roger
1 Freddie
1 Deaky
1 Brian
Imotorium VLOG yes. Rogers I’m in love with my car
In my version the 1st is Brian
I am in love with my car
Talk about musical diversity. Hard rock to a piano ballad, back to hard rock and to a poppy love song.
John Deacon wrote this song about his wife.
This song features a Fender Rhodes electric piano, which was a popular choice at the time, with many rock songs by the likes of Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan using the instrument. John Deacon wanted to write a song incorporating the instrument, but Freddie Mercury did not want to play it. "I refused to play that damn thing," Mercury said. "It's tiny and horrible and I don't like them. Why play those when you have a lovely superb piano." So Deacon took the Rhodes home, learned to play it, and started writing this song.
You can't blame Freddie at all --- it would be like forcing Brian to play a ukulele instead of guitar
@@tedstranix7703 Actually, Brian has played a banjo-ukulele in few songs like Good Company and Bring Back That Leroy Brown(maybe even more, can't remember at the moment...)
Why are there so many stories of John learning new instruments in a short period of time. For the making of '39, Brian, jokingly, asked John to play the double bass, and John actually took it to the studio and started learning it.
@@toptop961 He was just that kind of person, I guess..
Where do you get this information from?
"We are an angel...and a demon"
And i not even like you
@@laviniahelena1693 ,,You do''
I don't even LIKE you
You doooo
Came to see if people commented this lol
Good omens anyone
Honestly my favorite Queen song. It's just pure and joyful and so spirited. You can just hear the love Deacon has for his wife. It's so simple too, which emboldens it for me. It's true love in the form of music.
Still here in April2024. You can tell John loved his wife very much. This song says it all.
Only 45 years old. What a shame we lost an inspirational man in 1991. I wasn't even born yet. I wish I was though. RIP To the King of Queen, Freddie Mercury.
bazinga boi yep from aids
tahra dactul how the fuck u 45 but wasnt born before ‘91
Freddie was 45 when he died XD
Pilubolaer damn i fucked up
Freddy Mercury's voice will always be a blessing forever
OMG TOM NOOK LIKES FREDDIE MERCURY?!? YESS
Dude, seeing another Enjoyer of Ampharos literally made me squeal in joy AWESOME PFP DUDE! :D
@@Komodo_seeking 🎉 I just got off work 🎉
Definitely true!!!!!

This song is not about the friend zone it’s about love, listen to the lyrics
its written by deacon for his wife
@Pong Wong are you high?

It is now March 😊
When you finally accept that you’ve been in love with him for 6,000 years but he is only just starting to think of you as best friends
AYEEEEEE
Hell yea
Ah yes , the ineffable husbands
:D
It's ineffable!
I have never loved a band before like I love Queen, and I highly doubt I ever will. Those guys were so good together, totally in sync. Noone can ever replace Freddie Mercury, and that is so sad, because he was such a big part of the band. I love them all, though.
Me either!
I lost my best friend, my dog Fettuccini Alfredo (Alfie) this week and this song helped me through the tears. Rest in Peace, best friend ever. Thank you, Freddy Mercury. I hope you find him in Heaven, he's a good boy.
🐕❤️🐕❤️🐕❤️🐕❤️👼
Rest in peace Alfie
@@leeannasloan2292 Thank you
Doggie Heaven for sure!
Whoever came up with the saying that a dog is a man's best friend is right. My little dog is 14 and still going strong and he is my best friend. They're always by your side. Dogs love their owners so much they will even try and put their lives on the line for you.
This is a song i would play at my wedding and my funeral. It feels like the purest display of love one can pull off. Rest in peace Freddie Mercury and thanks to John for writing this masterpiece.
I know that John wrote this masterpiece for his wife but I also think that they're also singing it to each other ❤️
Freddie, Brian and Roger being the ultimate wing men for John here ;)
Freddie Mercury - lead & backing vocals
Brian May - guitars, backing vocals
Roger Taylor - drums, backing vocals
John Deacon - Wurlitzer electronic piano, bass guitar

Bro John is so underrated
i know that, but who the fuck is wayland holyfield??
Gotta love deacy
Disco Deaky Is so good
Wow. What a gas. Plus bass line for another one bites the dust.
Ooh, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live
Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh, you're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, I've been wandering 'round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home
You're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live
You're the first one
When…
A Night at the opera
This is a masterpiece of melody and composition by John. The bass line is smooth and melodious, and I think this is one of the most beautiful Queen songs. A must learn for any bassist.
Every time we go on a family road trip, my father plays his classic rock, and he got it engraved into my brain, I cannot stop listening to queen, and this has to be one of my favorites
God is a pen
Freddie a highlighter
God made the world
Freddie made it brighter
Grim Reaper is an eraser
Funeral is Freddie
Grim Reaper erased Freddie
Freddie had a funeral
R.I.P. Freddie Mercury ;-;
Someone said we shouldn't be sad he died we should be happy he lived

"Ohh, you make live!"
*One of the best Queen songs.*
I dedicated this song to my unborn son, i'm 36 weeks pregnant and i've listened to this song every day ever since i found out i was pregnant, it always makes me want to cry
So sweet!
+yuliana marin wish you the best! :)
Hubert Farnsworth thanks, thats so sweet of you, unfortunately, i lost my baby boy due to a medical error, but he lives on when i listen to this song
+yuliana marin now this makes me cry....
whenever i listen to this song , i will thing on your baby! god bless you!
i hope i found the right words in englisch, im from germany
Oh wow...I didn't know Deaky played keyboard! Rest In Paradise beautiful Freddie ❤️🙏🎸🎤🥁👑🎹❤️
The one Queen song that I want played at my wedding (if I get married that is)
Queen makes me live, whenever this world is cruel to to me.
January 18th, 2020 ~ Wishing John and Veronica Best Wishes today as they celebrate 45 years of marriage! Happy Anniversary! Together since 1/18.1975. Note to Veronica: Thanks so much for sharing your husband with the whole world for those 20 years so he could make history as he helped to create the most wonderful music with the greatest rock band there ever was or ever will be.
That was beautiful
I was having a cuddle with my cat this morning and as I was telling him how much I loved him, I broke into song and started singing "You're My Best Friend" As I'm old and forgetful now, I did a Google search and appearing on my screen was Freddy Mercury singing "You're My Best friend". I nearly started to cry and have it saved in my Fave Music file. I am 73yo and the memories keep flooding back. I think music is a great memory 'jogger"🌿💗🎶🎶🎶💗🌿🙏🇦🇺
Let's give credit to John Deacon, this is a masterpiece.
+ThatRetroGamer This song is about God. He says it.
+gfdgdsa Really? Lyrics don't indicate that, I think.
+Harvey Abel You make me live, in rain or shine you've stood by me God.
+gfdgdsa **stood by me, girl
This is to Brian May's wife, not to god, FFS.
+gfdgdsa he says "Girl"
When the song started, I instantly recognized it, but I never knew it was Queen.
Agreed.
Same!
I do NOT believe you. That's simply impossible. Or you are sixteen years old.
Kevin Russell Not impossible, just highly unlikely ;)
I find that's true about a lot of Queen songs.
A 12 year old girl from The Netherlands suggested this song on the radio for her best friend that past away on the malaysian plane that got shot down.
yup ninja's chopping onions again bastards
I just heard the actual recording of that request. Had tears in my eyes. Where has the world gone to? I mean, we know it's fucked up, but goddamn...
Oh that's so sad, yet so sweet.
Joost Leunissen Humanity: the worst epidemic earth ever faced
She deserves a big,big respect,at that age,incredible!!!!!By the way,I,m dutch too.
This is really one of the sweetest love songs ever.
john: you’re my best friend
brian: dear friends
freddie: friends will be friends
roger: :)
Roger: 🚗
Im in love with my car
Roger: Old friends
Dedicated to Freddie in 1994 maybe not a Queen song (Solo Song) but still friends UwU
I wish someone loved me so much, to write as beautiful a song as Deacy did for his wife! What a romantic! Lucky woman!
I could love you that much

Just lost my pup of a blessed 17 years, She was my bestfriend..
This is the only song that comes to mind. She was always there for me and loved unconditionally. I'm going to miss her terribly.
All the love for you people out there and I wish you a beautiful day. Keep your bestfriends close and Love them forever. No matter what.
Aww...I hope your pup is happy in the heaven and listening to you and this cutest song ever
How can a pup be 17 years old? Get a grip .
Bob Wallace Jnr shhh.......
This song just about says it all for me. I'm 51 years old. This song came out when I was a kid. It reminds me of my teenage years. Those days are gone and can never be recovered. This song reminds me of this time. I remember when this song came out, I thought that nothing ever sounded so good. Thanks Queen.
Marie Marr 53, congrats man
magnificent just..
A piece history of queen
The forgotten and quiet man of Queen, but John knew how to write a hit.
Freddie: Deacy wrote a song about me.
Deacy: It's actually about my wif-
Freddie: I sAiD DeAcY wRoTe a sOnG abOuT me!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 keep it up
The vibes say: Both is true!
HAHAHAHA
None of queen wrote this!
XD
If there was an award for the most cutest song this song would most definitely win. 😊
Well I think that "Somebody to love" will win. Bu this one will be on 2nd place, for me
