According to Good Omens, all tapes and CDs left in a car for too long will turn into Queen's Greatest Hits. The good thing about that being a slight exaggeration is that we get to hear the other greatest hits not on a greatest hits collection.
From Wikipedia: "Mercury composed this song on piano in 1973, and the song is one only two Queen songs (the other being Bohemian Rhapsody) containing polyrhythm/polymeter (two different time signatures simultaneously 8/8 and 12/8) and a simpler polyrhythm around the end uptempo section, which is very rare for popular music. The lead vocals cover two and a half octaves (G2 - C5). The full piece was too complicated to be performed live by the band. The opening piano piece is only known to have been played live once, at the Providence Civic Center on November 14, 1978 (likely in response to a fan shouting for the song near the beginning of the concert.) The intro to the song is all that was played, as they quickly transitioned into Bohemian Rhapsody." *** I was actually at this Queen concert in 1978 but I had no idea that I was witnessing history.
@@justinnamuco9096 I wouldn´t call this popular music. why would it be? 2 million views, very complex song, guitar, piano, complex vocals. Sounds more like prog rock for me
Exactly. I mostly listen to Bohemian Rhapsody and their 80s pop hits when I listen to them somewhere else, but not for choice. These 70s songs were the ones that made me fall for their music
They're getting there that's for sure as more people become acclimated with queen and do deep dives into their catalog everyone stops and says holy s***!

Everytime people say 'this is the best queen song' I get confused. How can you..? I mean, they recorded 15 albums featuring 10 songs each. I can't decide. And I guess I never will.
Blandin Laurento as an album it is far more consistent and committed than any of the 80's album . But it's a very dark album album and most of queens work was triumphant and happy. Only one poor song on innuendo which is Delilah.
The piano in this song is brilliant. It gives it that little something extra. One of the many things that made Freddie Mercury so great was his piano playing
Mysty /\ 💁🏾♀️ He only started feeling that way 'cos the media were brutal on him...essentially saying he'd used the same 3 fingers on both hands and played them by cords. I don't understand the hate they'd bestowed upon him at that time. He was over the top bombastic...so what? That was his gimmick but ppl were & still are mean. I like to think that once Queen were established and Freddie did his solo, Mr. Bad Guy, he'd worked with other studio musicians and liked their way of playing. I believe he'd preferred Mike Moran's playing style over his own or simply was tired of playing and paid him to do it all. After all, Freddie NEVER cooked for himself, NEVER drove himself anywhere, NEVER did the shopping himself except when it came to antiques. So I can do see Freddie feeling it was high time to hire an adequate piano player ✌🏾!
this song is a member of the queen council including -Killer Queen -White Queen -March of The Black Queen and this song is also the member of the bohemian family including -Millionare Waltz -Prophets Song -Inneundo -March of The Black Queen -Bohemian Rhapsody -My Fairy King
In my opinion I don't know why The Prophets Song is here. The song is talking about a prophet that is talking about what he dreamed (I think) Not something strange...
Probs cause of the use of the N word. Unfortunately it’s in this amazing song, so this can’t really be used anywhere without this being edited well so there won’t just be a small skip of nothing.
It was in the movie as the first parts of the song Bohemian Rhapsody played in the concert was March of The Black Queen before quickly transitioning to Bohemian Rhapsody
It's called "progressive rock", a very experimental genre. Queen was a prog rock band in their first years. Yes, Genesis and Pink Floyd were Prog rock as well. You're welcome :)
@@PepeLuguillo I feel like its more of an operatic rock. Prog rock is more of those, longer, more complex songs that have multiple different movements, much like (as you mentioned) Genesis’s “Supper’s Ready” and Rush’s “2112”. I wouldn’t say that it is necessarily defined as a prog rock song, but it does have elements of prog rock in it.
Queen was such a unique rock band for it's time. While bands were trying to sound like the beatles, rolling stones, led zeppelin, the who, etc etc, Queen was making their own amazing sound.
Pure GOLD!! Bohemian Rhapsody Innuendo The March of the Black Queen The Prophets Song ------------------------------------ These four songs are out of this universe period.
Yeah, Prophet’s Song is good and all but it a little lengthy. I love long songs, but the majority of the song sounds like Freddie was messing around in an audio program.
Mozart composed an opera called "The Magic Flute". Its main villain was *"the Queen of the Night"* One composition in that opera is called *"The March of the Priests"* I think Freddie was a Mozart fan. :-))
i realized Brian may made rivals for some of Freddie's songs: *We Are The Champions (Freddie) = We Will Rock You (Brian)* *The March Of The Black Queen (Freddie) = White Queen (Brian)* *Bohemian Rhapsody (Freddie) = Prophet's Song (Brian)*
But freddie would've crushed him with killer queen , under pressure , somebody to love , innuendo , the miracle , crazy thing called love and many more
That's exactly how I feel! Too many people only discover this once they do a deep dive into Queen's catalog - when it should have gained a far greater following due to "Seven Seas of Rhye".
@@woodymeadows9363I am referring to Seven Seas of Rhye on Queen II, the same album as this song. You would think that as a lyric song, people would have found their way to March of the Black Queen in greater numbers.
I heve been a Queen fan since 1975 and have just been diagnosed lymphatic cancer, keep up the good work with thei r good old sounds, it gives a good reason to keep going on. thanks.
1st time watching this - how high was Freddie when he came up with these lyrics 2nd time watching - oh wow I actually really like this song 3rd time watching - *turns up to full volume and bops around the room for the entirety of the song*
There are, were, and will some people that love this song even more than 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. I am one of these crazy people. 'Queen II' is the best album ever created.
I've heard Bohemian Rhapsody to death, almost, but I'll never, ever, tire of this. It's hard to pick a favourite Queen song but this has to be up there for me.
Mike Hill same Bohemian Rhapsody is a great song but its sooooo overrated. Their hits are great but their stuff all the way to The News of The World was GREAT! (Minus their hits)
Mike Hill I'm like the biggest Queen fan but Bohemian Rhapsody got tiring for me pretty quick. However this, The Prophet's Song and My Fairy King never get old.
I learned every lyric, every overdub, and could sing it in its entirety at 13. I used to take turns picking which side of the overdubs I felt like singing, since Freddie would switch sides with every line. Mastery!
The sweetness of Deacon's touch bestows such glory on this song at 4:20. As does the mini-duet with Roger at 4:45. And Brian at 5:50. For Freddie? Words are powerless faced with his creative genius. They're toying with English folk without going all Jethro.
@@brandonharris9769 - Sorry. I meant the later albums. Once Freddie got into the dance club music, I lost interest. But like many bands, I loved the older stuff. YMMV
@@shawn9773 I kind of agree, but not completely. I actually quite like that they went that direction too, and I think they still had songs that had a rock or more ballad style vibe. But early Queen is definitely my favourite as well. I'm talking like My Fairy King, Killer Queen, Seven Seas of Rhye, etc. But I don't mind later Queen either, there are only two songs I really don't like and will skip if they come on and that's Bicycle Race and Fat Bottomed Girls. But I definitely understand what you're saying.
The name is inspired by the SNES game Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen... They also have named another song Ogre Battle... An awesome and jeweled RPG saga

Whilst I still think that this song is criminally underrated, reading most of these comments has restored my faith in people’s abilities to recognise class and that I wasn’t wrong about my judgement!
@@allensaunders449 YEEEEESS. I ADORE Father to son. I don't know why so few people mention it. I could never pick a favourite but Father to son is one of my go-to songs. Big thumbs up!
I'm a 60 yr old from Chicago who got to see them 3 times. (77-news 80-game 82-hot so) which was their last tour in America. Saw Brian 5 times after that (back to the light tour and by fate another world tour** it was the only US city for that album. Got to meet him at a Guitar World appearance next day.Always down to earth and gracious. DIEHARD FROM THE BEGINNING,so all I have to say is:BEST SONG OFF OF THEIR BEST ALBUM!! Even Brian in various interviews refers to Queen 2 as the album with every element there! 4 different writers then used all the elements for their songs the way they see fit.
Mister Bearmore the music today is pure shit, this is pure genius. Today mucisians don't sing they just scream and use some auto-tune to make it sound like they sing. It's aweful. This is real music
I had been a Freddie fan since I was 8, and his death really hit me. But it wasn't until several years after his death that I started borrowing all their albums at the local music library (and bought the albums when I could afford them). But I remember quite clearly that my love for *this* masterpiece was instantaneous, when I first heard it back in 1994 or 1995. From that point I knew that I had just heard the best piece of music I would ever hear. I knew this wasn't a song most people would appreciate, but to me it was just what I didn't know I needed. Was it the song's even more ambitious rhapsodic composition? The 'angelic' mid section? Or was it the 'dark angry queen' lyrics? All of it, probably. But the final verse was the part that hit really me deeper than I imagined. What a way to end a song: Forget your sing-a-longs and your lullabies Surrender to the city of the fireflies Dance to the devil in beat with the band To hell with all of you, hand in hand But now it's time to be goneLa, la, la, la, forever, forever His final quote from ten days before he died probably re-captures the 'Freddie spirit' of the song you've just heard: "You can do whatever you like with my image, my music, remix it, re-release it, whatever... just never make me boring."
Miguel Osvaldo Flores Dominguez IMO it’s 1.Queen 2.Queen II 3.News Of The World But A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races are good albums as well!
I totally agree. It was the first Queen album I bought and still my favorite, followed by Innuendo. Watch the live version of White Queen at the Odeum. It will blow you away, especially Freddie's piano playing
In listening to this, and reading the comments, many people don’t realize how sophisticated the lyrics are. Not the people in the comments section, but the general population. This is deeper than they are willing to go. You need to listen. It is like a poem you need to think about. It takes your head through some crazy visuals. That’s my perspective.
Loferix well, he's no Freddie, but he's not terrible. he's certainly better than me and plus, I have a feeling that Brian and Roger know what their doing. i mean, they did work with Freddie for a very very long time. They know who's good.
he may be no freddie but who is? Anyway, he grew up with queen songs and even their back catalog. better than someone who doesn't know them well and sings like freddie
This is the pure definition of talent. I personally don’t think that the artists today could create something like this... This is truly once in a lifetime band. God what I wouldn’t haven done to be alive during this time ugh!!!!
I love singing along with these lyrics, haha... YOU'VENEVERSEENNOTHINGLIKEITNONEVERINYOURLIFE, LIKEGOINGUPTOHEAVENANDTHENCOMINGBACKINLIFE ... or, YOUCANBEMYSUGARBABYYOUCANBEMYHONEYCHILE , YES ! hehehe
+Saga Johansson after a month of this song (or more) I find it quite slow tbh... Awesome, but I can sing quite fast. I think it is because I am able to think much faster than speak... Idek and don't want to seem offensive, sorry.
This song is one of my long time favorite Queen ones. The album Queen2 is one of my favorite ones , and what a genius Freddie was. This song has almost everything I want in Queen, beautiful, cool, complicated, delicate but strong! No other bands could do as Queen did, The Prophet's Song, Bohemian Rhapsody, Innuendo as well. Genius, just genius...
How can you dislike this song? It's the epitome of what Queen achieved. That their songs are not repetitions. Each song is an education in music as different as each of us, and just as enjoyable IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN. I didn't see the appeal initially but I LISTENED and now I find it wonderfully entertaining. The feeling the music instills into your very soul. LISTEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. It will grow to be a favorite!! It won me over and it's wild, it gives a little love and joy!!
I heard it on the radio yesterday, and considering the fact that it's not one of their hits and usually, only the hits are played, it was awesome to hear it!
So does every lyric video in the channel. Deaky probably requested that personally, he retired from the music industry and no longer kept much contact with May and Taylor. Except i still agree, his magic is still in Queen's music, he has to be credited in some way.
I was fortunate to own the Very First QUEEN album when it came out and then saw the second Queen concert in America (opened for Mott the Hoople). My brother and I were literally Leaning on the edge of the stage, elbows ON stage. Before they started keeping crowds away from the stage. I looked up at this INCREDIBLY charismatic vocalist, a Phenomenal guitarist with my jaw on the ground. I remember turning to the right to tell my brother, "this band is gonna be HUGE! I only wish I had taken my camera. Wow! I cannot believe we witnessed THAT!
I work in a University. Not in musical capacity. A student told me that she was studying music and was studying Queen. I was so excited to hear what she knew and give her my knowledge of Queen as I have loved and know them since the album Queen. She stopped me in my tracks and said she had only just heard Bohemian Rhapsody. Given that I’m sure she will research more x

Could be. For me, it's either "II" or "Innuendo" as their best, can't decide which.

I love all Queen songs, but in particular 70's songs, they give me a vibe I can't describe
So that's what has been going on these past 40 years! 😅👍👑
Let's be honest, only the hits of 80s Queen are good, but every single song of the 70s Queen are wholesome! Even the most unknown ones!
I saw Queen perform in the 70's & their finest work is in the first 4 albums of that era. Innuendo was the final masterpiece.
absolutely, I get you
ABSOLUTELY the early 70's is my favorite Queen music .... no synthesizers!!!!

70s Queen is my favorite. Metal and rock songs with beautiful ballads and some experimental stuff in there too.
This amazing song play only by 4 players but sound like an orchestra.
Brian May mentioned that while recording Bohemian Rhapsody, they already knew what was coming since they had just recorded this song before.
They never even used synthesizers for ages so it's even more impressive

Totally agree.
That's why they are outstanding
In fact in that time all British bands wanted to sound differently, to be original and have something different. Some were better in that then others.
the sho were quite different and also had their own sound.
Don't forget Genesis, as one of the most innovative bands of the 70s along with Queen
Queen II is one of their top 5 albums.

The March of the Black Queen
The Prophets Song

Death on two legs is gr8 too...still Queen were MAJESTIC... each and every song of them was...mindlblowing

Yeah, Prophet’s Song is good and all but it a little lengthy. I love long songs, but the majority of the song sounds like Freddie was messing around in an audio program.
The Prophets Song = the best
Mozart composed an opera called "The Magic Flute". Its main villain was *"the Queen of the Night"*
One composition in that opera is called *"The March of the Priests"*
I think Freddie was a Mozart fan. :-))
He was very inspired by opera in general, we can hear it very well in this song. It's great and so refreshing to mix styles :)
@@wesleybesancon4545 no one's saying that haha. We just said Freddie Mercury was inspired by Mozart when he made songs. He thought Mozart was great.
I remember a recording where he said he liked classical music! I think he was talking with a fan in that one, actually. :)
@@wesleybesancon4545
Nobody said he was, sweetie
Well that would be lit
i realized Brian may made rivals for some of Freddie's songs:
*We Are The Champions (Freddie) = We Will Rock You (Brian)*
*The March Of The Black Queen (Freddie) = White Queen (Brian)*
*Bohemian Rhapsody (Freddie) = Prophet's Song (Brian)*
it reminds me of Lennon-McCartney competition (Strawberry Fields Forever vs Penny Lane etc)
As far as i know, White Queen was written by a young Brian May, i dont think he even knew Freddie back then.
well, they were great, so it's ok to have that kind of rivalty :D
@@BeeMarzipan Brian wrote White Queen in 1968. He would have been 20 or 21 then. I'm not sure exactly when he first met Freddie.
But freddie would've crushed him with killer queen , under pressure , somebody to love , innuendo , the miracle , crazy thing called love and many more
How can QUEEN II not get more attention? Its songs are pure magic
That's exactly how I feel! Too many people only discover this once they do a deep dive into Queen's catalog - when it should have gained a far greater following due to "Seven Seas of Rhye".
@@cassandra8466 There are two examples of that song; on 1 and 2. One is instrumental, the other has lyrics. Which one do you mean?
@@woodymeadows9363I am referring to Seven Seas of Rhye on Queen II, the same album as this song. You would think that as a lyric song, people would have found their way to March of the Black Queen in greater numbers.
Axl Rose once said that "Queen II" is his favourite Queen album
It's not super accessible - it's quite proggy and requires a few lsitens and an open mind to get into it
Masterpiece...Freddie forever ever!
Master of all master....
freedie lives on forever in our hearts and earbuds
Amen.
Pukrysa queen forever ever*
Like 1.000
It is kinda unbelievable that many of Queen's fans don't know that a song like this even existed.....
I nearly drove off the road when I first heard this, I was so amazed!
this is my fav queen song now theres just so much to it and its really fun to listen too
I don't think you're a real Queen fan if you don't know this one....
People who think that movie was the extent of it.
@@clausderenda5777 yeah, if you cant actually name an album and only know songs from a 'best of'/the radio then 😬😬😬😬😬😬
Such a masterpiece. The most underrated song made by queen i think.
One of them. The actual most hated and underrated is Body Language. Even though tbh I am a HUGE fan
Made in heaven is pretty underrated too
Ever heard of Jesus? It's a Queen song...
Oh what about- Nevermore...
There are too many Queen underrated songs...

3rd time watching - *turns up to full volume and bops around the room for the entirety of the song*

yea it has so much sad meaning 😕
There are, were, and will some people that love this song even more than 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.
I am one of these crazy people.
'Queen II' is the best album ever created.
Someone agrees with me
Me too. They always make fun of me for this in school. Yes I'm from gen z.
Bohemian isnt even top 10 for me personally
@@Musoko7 same~
i too agree that i like MARCH OF THE BLACK QUEEN better than Bohemian Rhapsody
there is... so much music in this song
Queen in the 70s were just classic... they changed so much in the 80s, but even with change in style and vocals, they were still amazing and classic.
I've heard Bohemian Rhapsody to death, almost, but I'll never, ever, tire of this. It's hard to pick a favourite Queen song but this has to be up there for me.
Crewe Mike Same here. Queen music from 70's when they were at their peak in musicality and creativity is just magic.
Crewe Mike Bohemian rhapsody still isn't dead to me.
Crewe Mike My favourite Queen song as well and I'm a huge Queen fan too....my second favourite must be The Millionaire Waltz
Mike Hill same Bohemian Rhapsody is a great song but its sooooo overrated. Their hits are great but their stuff all the way to The News of The World was GREAT! (Minus their hits)
Mike Hill I'm like the biggest Queen fan but Bohemian Rhapsody got tiring for me pretty quick. However this, The Prophet's Song and My Fairy King never get old.
5:45 to 6:10 feels like heaven. You close your eyes it feels like your soul is leaving your body. And you get a sense of satisfaction
So basically, an orgasm.
Exactly.I listen these minutes of songs hundred times.
Gives me a classical feel...
"My life is in your hands,
I'll foe and I'll fie!"
My relationship with their music can be summed up by this line alone
My dad once looked me right in the eye and said "You are Queen, it's like... Wow"
And I replied with, Well darling of course
i *must* learn the lyrics, this song is such an underrated masterpiece
Yes I try it too but it's very hard, because I'm from Germany and this is very fast english
I learned every lyric, every overdub, and could sing it in its entirety at 13. I used to take turns picking which side of the overdubs I felt like singing, since Freddie would switch sides with every line. Mastery!
@@madlin765 I had this down at 13 years old, lol. Try The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke!! 😆
the n-word too lmao
@@christinedanser956 Wow
Rogers's screams are the best
The sweetness of Deacon's touch bestows such glory on this song at 4:20. As does the mini-duet with Roger at 4:45. And Brian at 5:50. For Freddie? Words are powerless faced with his creative genius. They're toying with English folk without going all Jethro.
wow roger's vocal
There are some. But better listen to "I'm in love in my car".
"My life is in your hands I'll fo and I'll fie"
Only this, but amazing.
I think "My life is in your hands I'll fo and I'll fie" "Ill be what you make me Ill do what you like" are the best lines in the song
WHAT A MOMENT INDEED. BEYOND EPIC!
He's amazing!
"She boιls and she bakes and she never dots her ι's"
Such an unforgιvable crιme

Sounds like something the Killer Queen would do, right? :-)

Love Queen's first albums, they had an undeniable Shakespearean countenance!!!
I loved all the early Queen - first 5 albums. Once they went disco, I lost interest.
Early queen has a magic to it, ive only seen in few other bands (malice mizer)
@@shawn9773 you saying queen went disco on news of the world? 😂
@@brandonharris9769 - Sorry. I meant the later albums. Once Freddie got into the dance club music, I lost interest. But like many bands, I loved the older stuff. YMMV
@@shawn9773 I kind of agree, but not completely.
I actually quite like that they went that direction too, and I think they still had songs that had a rock or more ballad style vibe.
But early Queen is definitely my favourite as well. I'm talking like My Fairy King, Killer Queen, Seven Seas of Rhye, etc.
But I don't mind later Queen either, there are only two songs I really don't like and will skip if they come on and that's Bicycle Race and Fat Bottomed Girls.
But I definitely understand what you're saying.
This whole album is like a Hard-Rock Baroque composition, with some Disney Musical vibes, and a Tolkien style lyrics. Can't get better than that!
Queen II is a great album indeed
Can!
i love this whole song especially 4:28-4:46
and can i just say Roger’s bit is just 😭😍😍
didi that's the best part
Purabi Devi the whole song is the best part

I love the way Freddie says “black Queen”😍😍😍
I love the way Freddie said everything
I don’t care what people say. This is the most underrated queen song.
FRR ITS SO GOOD
Oh yes
Nope. Far From Underrated.
Also "The Prophet's Song" from "A Night at the Opera"?
@@kitmoore9969 facts
march of the black queen, killer queen, white queen...
i think queen likes their name a little.
Yeah, ya think? Juuuuuuust a little bit.
And god save the queen
The name is inspired by the SNES game Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen... They also have named another song Ogre Battle... An awesome and jeweled RPG saga

Hal Jordan my favorite part of the song
My life is in your hands i fo and i fie... The bestest best 3 seconds
That's the part that gets me stoked
Whilst I still think that this song is criminally underrated, reading most of these comments has restored my faith in people’s abilities to recognise class and that I wasn’t wrong about my judgement!
Queen will always be in a class by Themselves like The Beatles.
I’m just gonna go ahead and say it... QUEEN IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE BEATLES
@@gamerg1rl761REAL, but Beatles are so good too
My top 5:
5-Bohemian Rhapsody
4-My Fairy King
3-Innuendo
2-The Prophet’s Song
1-The March of The Black Queen
Diego Gómez very nice list i would add death on two legs and father to son, and, and ,hell to many great songs
My favourites are quite similar, except I would replace bohemian rhapsody and the prophets song with it’s a hard life and death on two legs
@@allensaunders449 YEEEEESS. I ADORE Father to son. I don't know why so few people mention it. I could never pick a favourite but Father to son is one of my go-to songs. Big thumbs up!

I love it when he sings " I'll be your bad boy". What a song.
Man Freddie, Brian, Roger and John are LEGENDS!!!
Love the badge "Big sister of the Rhapsody".
Technically this song is the leader of the pack
And like most big sisters, it beats the shit out of the overrated little snot-nose, lol ( I am a big sis myself, lol)
I'm a 60 yr old from Chicago who got to see them 3 times. (77-news 80-game 82-hot so) which was their last tour in America. Saw Brian 5 times after that (back to the light tour and by fate another world tour** it was the only US city for that album. Got to meet him at a Guitar World appearance next day.Always down to earth and gracious. DIEHARD FROM THE BEGINNING,so all I have to say is:BEST SONG OFF OF THEIR BEST ALBUM!! Even Brian in various interviews refers to Queen 2 as the album with every element there! 4 different writers then used all the elements for their songs the way they see fit.
How was the news of the world tour
Hello Robert! Thanks for sharing this amazing experience! Do you have any memorabilia from the queen shows?
This kind of music beats today's music by a mile! Anyone agree?
Beck Rockriver true, but you must admit... the older music outweighs the new
Some songs are decent, but A LOT suck
modern music is awful Freddie will be best singer songerwriter ever
Mister Bearmore the music today is pure shit, this is pure genius. Today mucisians don't sing they just scream and use some auto-tune to make it sound like they sing. It's aweful. This is real music
of course, but that's not really difficult.
One of the best song ever. Masterpiece ...
My love, my favorite :-))!
Elis Erlen Thank you, my dear :)). One of my favorite forever too...
андрей мельников so true, the Freddy Mercury remains in the heart and unforgettable :-)*

This has to be one of Queens most underrated songs

I had been a Freddie fan since I was 8, and his death really hit me. But it wasn't until several years after his death that I started borrowing all their albums at the local music library (and bought the albums when I could afford them).
But I remember quite clearly that my love for *this* masterpiece was instantaneous, when I first heard it back in 1994 or 1995. From that point I knew that I had just heard the best piece of music I would ever hear. I knew this wasn't a song most people would appreciate, but to me it was just what I didn't know I needed. Was it the song's even more ambitious rhapsodic composition? The 'angelic' mid section? Or was it the 'dark angry queen' lyrics? All of it, probably. But the final verse was the part that hit really me deeper than I imagined. What a way to end a song:
Forget your sing-a-longs and your lullabies
Surrender to the city of the fireflies
Dance to the devil in beat with the band
To hell with all of you, hand in hand
But now it's time to be goneLa, la, la, la, forever, forever
His final quote from ten days before he died probably re-captures the 'Freddie spirit' of the song you've just heard:
"You can do whatever you like with my image, my music, remix it, re-release it, whatever... just never make me boring."
is anyone out there who just gets so damn satisfied by Roger's vocals in this song and can die in peace after that masterpiece?
I've honestly had several moments like this since I discovered Queen. I still can't believe my luck really.
person: what genre is Queen?
me: *yes*
Rock
One cannot simply classify Queen as a specific genre, there will be an exception for any answer to that question
Progressive rock
A Queen Fan that watches She Ra. A rarity but not impossible

Queen II is the greatest album that they ever made and it's what made "Bohemian Rhapsody" possible
Queen ll is the best but also heavily underrated
1. A Day At The Races
2. Queen II
3. A Night At The Opera
Miguel Osvaldo Flores Dominguez IMO it’s 1.Queen 2.Queen II 3.News Of The World But A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races are good albums as well!

I'm serious, Queen 2 is the best album to ever be made
Is true.....
I don't like a night at their opera which is considered their best.
for me its a day at the races..
I totally agree. It was the first Queen album I bought and still my favorite, followed by Innuendo. Watch the live version of White Queen at the Odeum. It will blow you away, especially Freddie's piano playing
@@mrbill1390 thats my favourite version of it. Hammersmith one i think. The improv was dope.
This song is awesome. It takes a couple of listenings, because there is so much going on, but the more you listen, the greater it gets
am i the only one that thinks Roger Taylor has the best backing vocals in music history
No, me too
Fr tho, even tho he sings a little bit it’s simply one of the best parts of the song
He'd have made lead singer for any other band on the planet.
no there are others i red the comments
this is a fact
John was so underrated
This is the real Queen, hard rocking and original. I just wish they had continued on this path and not gone soft.
one of the most underrated queen songs
In listening to this, and reading the comments, many people don’t realize how sophisticated the lyrics are. Not the people in the comments section, but the general population. This is deeper than they are willing to go. You need to listen. It is like a poem you need to think about. It takes your head through some crazy visuals. That’s my perspective.
RIP freddie.
you will never be replaced
toxboxic Yeah, F YOU LAMBERT! YES YOU!
+Mark Wood Adam lambert makes me sad.
Loferix well, he's no Freddie, but he's not terrible. he's certainly better than me and plus, I have a feeling that Brian and Roger know what their doing. i mean, they did work with Freddie for a very very long time. They know who's good.
Arceptor 'cause you can't replace him
he may be no freddie but who is? Anyway, he grew up with queen songs and even their back catalog. better than someone who doesn't know them well and sings like freddie
Queen II is my favourite album & this is my favourite Queen song ever. Its absolutely beautiful.
What?

This song is one of my long time favorite Queen ones.
The album Queen2 is one of my favorite ones , and what a genius Freddie was. This song has almost everything I want in Queen, beautiful, cool, complicated, delicate but strong! No other bands could do as Queen did, The Prophet's Song, Bohemian Rhapsody, Innuendo as well. Genius, just genius...
How can you dislike this song? It's the epitome of what Queen achieved. That their songs are not repetitions. Each song is an education in music as different as each of us, and just as enjoyable IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN.
I didn't see the appeal initially but I LISTENED and now I find it wonderfully entertaining. The feeling the music instills into your very soul. LISTEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. It will grow to be a favorite!! It won me over and it's wild, it gives a little love and joy!!
Queen is one off the bands where you can always hit the like button before you even heard the song, because it is never bad
I heard it on the radio yesterday, and considering the fact that it's not one of their hits and usually, only the hits are played, it was awesome to hear it!
I would freak out if that happend! (But I don't think it ever will here in Germany.) Where do you live?
*Cinema Sins voice*
Description doesn't credit John Deacon.
Ding!
So does every lyric video in the channel.
Deaky probably requested that personally, he retired from the music industry and no longer kept much contact with May and Taylor. Except i still agree, his magic is still in Queen's music, he has to be credited in some way.

This song is severely underrated. Just listened to it for the first time and it should be on some top 10 lists of Queen songs.
I was fortunate to own the Very First QUEEN album when it came out and then saw the second Queen concert in America (opened for Mott the Hoople). My brother and I were literally Leaning on the edge of the stage, elbows ON stage. Before they started keeping crowds away from the stage. I looked up at this INCREDIBLY charismatic vocalist, a Phenomenal guitarist with my jaw on the ground. I remember turning to the right to tell my brother, "this band is gonna be HUGE! I only wish I had taken my camera. Wow! I cannot believe we witnessed THAT!
down in the city with hoople and me!....great memories
I work in a University. Not in musical capacity. A student told me that she was studying music and was studying Queen. I was so excited to hear what she knew and give her my knowledge of Queen as I have loved and know them since the album Queen. She stopped me in my tracks and said she had only just heard Bohemian Rhapsody. Given that I’m sure she will research more x
