the first time i knew queen, i fell in love with roger. not only he looks attractive (especially his eyes) it's still mindblowing to me that the person who did almost all of the amazing high notes in queen songs were him. he's so amazing!
He’s literally so amazing, he’s beautiful, but he also has an amazing personality, an incredible voice, and amazing drum skills! What more can we ask for??
So I was going to take a shower and I put this on my playlist thinking it was lap of the gods revisted and boy was I wrong😂 I had a mini heart attack when Roger started yelling lol
So interesting song. Freddie wrote it, this is his song, about him, but you hardly hear his real voice, it's altered in the Strawberry Fields way. But you hear Roger's. Maybe you don't notice, but your brain does. Masterpiece.

Mind blown with this in 1974, now listening to it 47 years later can only day how blessed we were to experience this pure genius growing up, sheer heart attack indeed, love my queenies 💞💥
This song is like a Christmas present. At first, it's all mysterious and you don't know what's inside, but once you open it, you discover the brilliance that lurks inside!!
I know the song 'In the the lap of the gods... Revisited' and I didn't realise that this is without revisited and almost died at the beginning 😂😂😂 I was like what the hell is happening? 😂
I've noticed almost everyone always seems to focus on his falsetto at 2:33 but I think the really beautiful ones are the two higher ones he weaves into the song earlier: 1:57 & 2:11. These are the two where he literally takes my breath away.
When you think about it, the lyrics are so simple but they have a deep meaning. This is probably my favourite Queen song and the instrumental, singing and sounds are all unbelievable. They will leave anyone crying. And Roger’s falsetto is truly amazing. No other human can produce a voice like Freddie and Roger’s. I love you Freddie and rest in piece.
This is the absolute best song to use as an alarm. Not only scares the shit out of you, but your family aswell! That's right, this morning when I woke up, I had forgot I changed my alarm tone to this, and my mom was in the bathroom(right beside my room) and yelled "HOLY SHIT!" when she heard it!
Overheard someone blaring this out in their car with the windows down at 12:45am last night. Made me smile because it reminded me of my dad and it made me happy knowing people still appreciate this album
his singing voice was always very gravelly, it was his falsetto that was so smooth. you can hear his voice from the earlier years of queen in 'the loser in the end' and 'modern times rock and roll'. I think the reason he stopped doing it was partially because he was aging but also because it didn't fit in as well to the aesthetic of his songs?
@@spacetrashfallingdown Please I need to see it where is it? I really want to here him do something or talk about his falsetto. Please show me where it is😭
Queen could have released so many more singles than they did. Not sure who selects songs to be released as a single but many of their songs stood on their own and stood the test of time.
I'm old, I saw them do this song twice live. Saw them at the Cleveland music hall. They did 2 shows back to back. When I saw Roger Taylor do those high notes, biggest goose bumps ever. That wasn't a studio trick!!!!! It was the sheer heart attack tour.
@@saraa136 queen usually performed this song live back then in their sheer heart attack tour, took quite a toll on Roger's voice especially while he was drumming and all, so towards the end of the sheet heart attack tour they stopped playing it
I bought the album just as I started working at age 18 on cassette. Long motorway drive, bang in the tape- loved the first side, flipped it over and.... holy shit!!!!! It is nothing less than a miracle that I didn't crash! This was all more than 30 years ago, I love and adore Lap of the Gods not just for Rog cleaning my ears out but also for Freddie's distorted vocals which always remind me of Calibos in Clash Of The Titans. Not going to say it's my favourite Queen song- just because they all are, they're all unique and more precious to me than my next breath.
The last 1:10 of this track is particularly mind-blowing - the background harmonizing mixed with Freddie's lead vocals and Brian's guitar are simply trance-like spellbinding man...
This is some mastery of Freddie Mercury. It's old time religious truths. You follow God over all else. He starts off talking about how a person loves and lives for God then the last line of the verse is a relationship metaphor to bring it down to a human level when he sings, 'I touch your lips with mine but in the end I leave it to the lord...leave it in the lap of the God's' Meaning you let individuals show you who they are and accept it because you're not God and can only judge them by their actions and selfish motives...disvow them after you see what they are and don't make excuses for them they can't make themselves like you're their mommy and daddy.
Once I had shuffle play on my spotify playlist, and I was just listening to Teo torriatte, and then this song came in next almost immediately and Roger's falsetto scared the living shit out of me
I’m Japanese. I like this song. Roger’s back chorus is very beautiful!! I wanted to be borne this age. I wanted to go to Queen’s live😭 I’m sorry. My English is not well.
So clever how the two “versions” of this song dovetail together…. Each with totally different beginnings but then ending up with the same chorus. Genius songwriting.
call me naive but having heard the revisited one always.. i never expected this to be so different from that.. and ROGER.. WHOAA... CALM DOWN MATE.. i love you, but you scared me...
I listened to this live but I’ve never actually listened to the actual recording and rogers falsettos have me shook i have never heard anything like his voice
I didn't listen to this song for months, although I knew that it existed, because I thought it was similar to the revisited one. I was surprised when I listened to it today.
Imagine my joy hearing this for the first time right now. Been a fan of a lot of queen songs since a child but not gone deeper than the songs I already knew of and liked.

It's Roger Taylor for your brilliant high note on the beginning!
I love him!
the greatness of Queen can never be overstated...
Jesus Christ. I first heard this in about 1974 and it still gives me chills. It's just absolutely amazing , even after all this time. It's perfect.

I agree. The one that starts at 1.57s is faultless.
Both versions are PERFECT!
Aren't they completely different songs, not "versions"? I am a bit confused.

Technically 2 versions because they have the same name
Just mind the word revisited...
