Just for your information, Avantasia is a legit band, not just a cover or tribute band. I strongly recommend you guys to check out the song "The Seven Angels", it's an incredibly unique metal opera, has that holy theme/feeling to it and for some reason it reminds me of Bohemian Rhapsody(greatest song ever written imo).
I really like this song performed by my lovely Freddie! And I was very afraid to listen to the performance of "Avantasia", I thought that they might spoil the song, as sometimes happens with covers. But Tobias did it with such respect for Freddie,! Very, very good! I'm amazed, I very like it!
Dave Clark co-wrote this song for the musical "Time". Dave wanted Freddie to sing it and Freddie did it. Freddie's voice is amazing considering that he was probably already ill.
@3rdear oh it seems that you're right, I don't trust in wikipedia, the spanish page says that freddie wrote the song and the english page says other thing (a mistake with the traslation I suppose), also the album doesn't say anything about Time and those guys, however thnx for the info
In my defense, what is there to say? All the mistakes we made must be faced today It's not easy now knowing where to start While the world we love tears itself apart I'm just a singer with a song How can I try to right the wrong? For just a singer with a melody I'm caught in between With a fading dream In my defence, what is there to say? We destroy the love - it's our way We never listen enough never face the truth Then like a passing song Love is here and then it's gone I'm just a singer with a song How can I try to right the wrong? I'm just a singer with a melody I'm caught in between With a fading dream I'm just a singer with a song How can I try to right the wrong? I'm just a singer with a melody I'm caught in between with a fading dream Caught in between with a fading dream Caught in between with a fading dream Oh what on earth Oh what on earth How do I try? Do we live or die? Oh help me God Please help me
@thedragonflame: No, I am NOT confused. I KNOW that "Time" is another "song", but "Time" is also the title of a fucking musical and the song "In My Defence" was written BY Dave Clark, David Soames, and Jeff Daniels FOR that musical. I can prove it in several ways. First there is the Wikipedia about the song. Then there is the fact that Harry Fox Agency that is the Clearing house for mechanical and digital licensing rights.
The Avantasia version has much better orchestration, piano and production, but I still like Freddie's vocie better. If I could drop Freddie's voice into the Avantasia bed tracks I'd have my ideal version. @ alopez527: Freddie didn't write the song. It was actually written by Dave Clarke, David Soames and Jeff Daniels for the musical "Time" (1986).
He does the song a justice, in fact I reckon it's on par with Freddie's original. Which is pretty hard for anyone to do, but Tobias does a cracking job!
@3rdear haha sorry dude but you're confused, "Time" is another song, not written by him of course BUT "In my Defense" or "Defence" was written by Freddie Mercury and Mike Moran... both are great versions
@thedragonflame Through that I know WHO the money is going to when, as a music professional, I license a song to record as a cover, just like Tobi did when he recorded it. Its HFA song code is: I04994. LOOK IT UP. Freddie Mercury had absolutely NOTHING to do with the actual writing of that song. Mike Moran only played the piano on the version that was recorded with Freddie's vocal.
Ainda bem que podemos ter o prazer de ouvir musica d verdade obrigado Freddy Mercury .tenho ouvido falar de um tal d Funk se isso for um dia um tipo d música; não vou saber explicar oque e merda.
i think this version of the song is way too much better than the freddy's one, better edition, better sound, and tobias its just fuckin amazing on the vocals
This song is really amazing both in the voice of the legendary Freddie and in the voice of Tobias
Потрясающе красивая песня! Выворачивает душу и сердце, просто нереально крутой кавер! Спасибо❤
great cover. Avantasia is a great Band and Mercury is en Idol forever. respect for that cover.

Molun if they actually care they are on the label Nuclear Blast records. Same as Nightwish and I believe within temptation
Funny you say that because this song (In My Defence) was originally a solo song by Queen's lead singer Freddie Mercury.
Excellent job! The song speaks for itself.
this song still gives me chills and i listen to it verry much
Very good interpretation of this song :) But I still love Freddie :)
Parabéns Tobias....a música ficou show na sua voz.
Freddie Mercury forever!
Excelente versión 💪🏻
Very nice cover! Rock on!
Beautiful voice.
stil i get tears when i hear it Tobias his voice is so wonderfull

Love this song
Imposible no llorar!!!!, 😢😢😢

Esta y la de Freddie son joyas totalmente
Love this song
thanks for the posting,. it is a great music, really. thanks
Happy birthday, Freddie Mercury... You'll never be forgotten, my man. Never.
Tobias Sammet = Music Art
Perfect cover!
damn brilliant job
Freddie sings cool because he is cool. not because he try to sing it cool. And this is why he owns.
I have to say this is just as good as Freddie's version! Thanks Avantasia
Big Fan!
nice cover
amazing song
nice husky voice

All the mistakes we made must be faced today
It's not easy now knowing where to start
While the world we love tears itself apart
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong?
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream
In my defence, what is there to say?
We destroy the love - it's our way
We never listen enough never face the truth
Then like a passing song
Love is here and then it's gone
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong?
I'm just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong?
I'm just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Oh what on earth
Oh what on earth
How do I try?
Do we live or die?
Oh help me God
Please help me
GG leh
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 word: freddie, but very good
Great Tobias ;D
Всегда ревностно отношусь к песням Фредди, но на моё же удивление мне понравилось.
Tobias is perfect for this song;)

You know this would of worked well on the Scarecrow album considering the storyline.
WTF! I love your voice! Can you shared me music note from solo till th end? Iknow juste verses et refrain. Thanks
No bad...But it will never surpass Freddie's. Freddie Mercury for eva!!
He should've sung the three last slides as well :))
He does the song a justice, in fact I reckon it's on par with Freddie's original. Which is pretty hard for anyone to do, but Tobias does a cracking job!
@3rdear haha sorry dude but you're confused, "Time" is another song, not written by him of course BUT "In my Defense" or "Defence" was written by Freddie Mercury and Mike Moran... both are great versions
I've read an interview, It was supposed to be part of the story
Freddy would be proud...
Boy did this cover ever make me squee the first time around.
his voice even like roger taylor i think
@thedragonflame Through that I know WHO the money is going to when, as a music professional, I license a song to record as a cover, just like Tobi did when he recorded it.

it will be a sad day when people worry more about the license than the product ..... oh wait ...
I wasn't expecting "thanks for watching, dick."
Ainda bem que podemos ter o prazer de ouvir musica d verdade obrigado Freddy Mercury .tenho ouvido falar de um tal d Funk se isso for um dia um tipo d música; não vou saber explicar oque e merda.
ну хоть караоке поорём на майские!!! Спасибо!!!
the 2 dislikes are from dragon force and avenged sevenfold
I like DragonForce, A7X AND Avantasia lol
3
i like the song and band :D but i must say i prefer the queen or well freddy mercury version more...
Its good but i still love freddie mercury's voice
As if Roger Taylor performs the song 😊
better than original... i feel soft
i think this version of the song is way too much better than the freddy's one, better edition, better sound, and tobias its just fuckin amazing on the vocals
Freddie is awesome, but Thobi's version sounds better to ME :))
BOOOOOOOOO!!! Freddy is ashamed! U abused his song!
Tobias sings it perfectly lol get over it
