thank you
I have often heard it said that there is a Queen song for every human emotion and experience- I agree. That can be said about music in general, but it isn't often applied legitimately to just one band. Great reaction!
The fact that they had so many overlooked songs like this one shows that they were one of the best bands ever. The deeper you dig the better it gets in my opinion. Especially their 70's stuff.
17:57 the oooooaaa you can hear is done by freddie and its his highest note ever hit (E6) in a studio version of a song
Let Me Live is a great song in which Freddie, Brian and Roger each sing a verse. It's very cool how they split up the lead vocals. Let Me In Your Heart Again is also a great song.
Ask one of their best song’s and hugely underrated and unknown.
A song about the problems of infidelity. I's by Brian, but I think Freddie could also relate to it well, as he had more than one relationship more than once. And there were the constant temptations of the life on the road. And they all were partying, with everything that came along with it.
Add Roger to that list, and maybe even John. I don't think that life on the road for a rock star is very compatible with fidelity.
@@karolyn8644 Yep, sure. It´s just that Brian put it into words
Come on you guys! BEST #queenreaction is HERE!!!! I think the life of a rock star sucks on many, many levels... did they know what they were getting into? All that pain out in the open... Didn't hear much of Deacy (I often have trouble hearing the bass), but Roger is killing it; Freddie is killing it; Brian is killing it - great song! Thanks Hap.
Well, this is another time I practically jumped up and down! Another one of my top 5 by the philosopher of the group. To me it’s about recognizing that he’s not able to resist the temptations of being a rock star even though he knows in his heart that it’s a betrayal of his wife. A complicated man. Great reaction. Thanks!
You know I can't be true means I can't be faithful.
good lyrics but the voice that sings them is priceless.

Awesome reaction! This is one of my favorite Queen songs. It is just a great song, there is great drumming, Brian's guitar sounds awesome, there are good bass parts, even Freddie's small piano parts is quite on point. Freddie sings his ass off on this song, this song actually has the highest note on a Queen studio album, but it is buried underneath the last guitar solo at 17:56 that is an E6. That is also why Brian's guitar sounds more like it is screaming, because Freddie is screaming underneath the guitar solos. There is an alliterative version of this song which is almost better in my opinion, th-cam.com/video/MREirsxdvyM/w-d-xo.html, although it doesn't have the E6 note. As I said this is one of my favorite Queen songs, I only wish that the vocals were brought more to the center of the mix or that they were more prevalent, the vocals are somewhat buried within the mix. But obviously this is a Brian song so he likely wanted the guitar to stand out more. The original meaning of the song is actually meant for two women, the women he is with and the mistress. That is why he says he can't be true to the mistress. But I agree and like your interpretation that this song also spells out what can happen to a relationship at the end. This is a song about a grown up relationship, you get many different types of love songs that are more for teenagers, this one is more grown up.
Another favorite of mine is The Great King Rat th-cam.com/video/nNDOazfRg08/w-d-xo.html and My Fairy King th-cam.com/video/VeVjEg4znQk/w-d-xo.html.
"It's Late" is one of my all time favorite Queen songs and always thought was so underappreciated. Thank You for your listen and reaction.
Brian May's Bohemian Rhapsody is The Prophets Song. It's on the same album as Bohemian Rhapsody, which is why it isn't better known. I think it's about Noah's Ark. It's around 8 minutes long.
Believe me, it's worth a listen.
The prophet song is widely referred to as Brian’s Bohemian Rhapsody
Yep that is right. 🙂👑

Truth
It's Queen's longest song.
Brian has said this song is about a friend having an affair. I've always wondered about that as he was having one himself at that time. The verses go back and forth about his thoughts when he is with the "other woman" and his wife.
I thought it was "Save me" that was about the "friend" -- I kind of thought this might be about Brian leaving his life for Anita Dobson... ? total speculation, but the timing is kind of right... nevertheless, all the members of Queen have traditionally said that "whatever you think it's about - that's what it's about..."
@@GinMae Brian never knew Anita in 1977
@@davebain2656 Hmm... guess the timing was NOT right, then -- thanks for the correction, Dave! I always appreciate hearing when I get something wrong... so that I don't keep doing it! Cheers!
@@GinMae Save Me was about a friend going through a rough divorce.
I was waiting for this song. One of my faves. 🤗
yeee :) the show must go on. Let`s roll.

Brian wrote great songs about his complicated love life. I think this was one of his forms of therapy. Great reaction as always! Thanks again.
JUST FOUND THIS. ALWAYS FINDING NEW SONGS WITH YOU! RIP Freddie Mercury 11/24/1991 ❤🌹❤🌹❤
The song to me sounds like falling in Love with someone else but feeling guilty because you are involved with someone else. That's just my opinion. Kinda like the song he wrote Too much love can kill you. Fantastic reaction!
Not heard that number just yet! But looking forward to it and see if it connects. Hope you're well. Thank you.

@@HAP3SPEAKZ There are two versions of Too Much Love Will Kill You (It's a absolutely heartbreaking song.)
I recommend that you try to do a 2 in 1 combo reaction. (official videos please), one sang by Freddie / Queen (1988 or 1989) and one by Brian (1992)
Agreed! I believe this song is definitely about being in love with someone that you possibly were in love with or attracted to in the past, but now years later are in a different relationship but are still attracted to or possibly still in love with that person. The lyrics, “if I take you tonight,” I believe is about consummating a relationship and the consequences and guilt of being unfaithful but also wondering if it’s NOT TOO LATE for that relationship and also “Did I live my life right?” Is questioning whether the person made a mistake in living a lie being with someone they didn’t truly love. Just always been my take on the lyrics of such a powerful song. But alas, as Freddie often said, he never wanted to ruin what the listener’s interpretations of the song were about. Great reaction Hap! I could watch you react to Queen all day. They seem to bring you so much anticipation and joy and as I’ve said before, it’s like watching and listening to them for the first time again when I watch your reactions. Keep up the great work! Too Much Love Will Kill You is an amazing, beautiful song also written by Brian. There is a version and a video that is sung ONLY by Brian and I believe that version pertains Brian’s perspective of the song and of what was going on in his life at the time. There is also a version that includes both Brian and Freddie with also a video. The video was made from clips of their concerts and music videos because it was recorded after Freddie was too ill to perform live. You should eventually check out BOTH videos because they each capture totally different meanings when they are performed by Brian and Freddie and BOTH suit their different life situations. They are amazing! Enjoy♥️
I think Brian wrote Too Much Love.
oh, I agree with you! And if HAP reacts to Too Much Love Will Kill You, I hope he does Brian's version first. Freddie's is beautiful, but you know it was hitting Brian hard when you literally hear him sing his own song.
Another favorite from first play. The scratchy riff at the start, joined by Freddie's amazing vocals and punctuated by John's bass with Roger smashing it in the background. Love the changes in tempo and the different number of beats on the run up to each chorus - masterpiece.
Let Me Live was completed after Freddie was gone but it is an positive uplifting song.
As always This song has some change of rhythmic. Queen was familiar with this. From a ballad to hard. Apparently Brian wrote the end of a relationship where the woman doesn't want to start over it.
Great song. Thanks Hap. It would wake up a dead man in the end ot the song.
❤️Thanks for Queen. You are 👍
I love to follow your comments over the lyrics!! Just so smooth. 👏🏼 You have got a very gooooooood ear and sense! This song made me think and move on with some strength! Thanks for introducing an amazing song today. 🙌🏼 I am gonna listen again!!!
Yeah don't thank me! Thank the music. 🙂 I just give my interpretation and 2cents. Glad you appreciate them. Enjoy.

My fave of all Queen Songs x
Mother Love is the song Freddie didn't complete.
Thanks for clarifying Antony. 👍🏽👑

Was about to recommend this, absolutely amazing track, very powerful
Ah, the famous “tapping “ technique that Brian supposedly used a few months before Eddie Van Halen. A piece of guitar trivia.
Ohh the old tapping story again, sick to death seeing this lol. Neither Brian or EVH or Steve Hackett for that matter invented tapping. Tapping has been around as early as the 17th century. EVH only made the technique popular with his use of it on Eruption
Great reaction man!
Let Me Live isn’t the song he never finished - that was Mother Love. 😥 And when you eventually do Mother Love at the very end of your Queen journey (in 10 years or so haha) make sure to do the official lyric video and not the music video, which was fan-made (it won a contest I believe) but honestly kind of distracting.
dam this comment is worth its weight in gold! be weary that your suggestion does not go walk abouts. But thank you kindly for leaving it. Only time will tell. But we know where you heard/read it first. :-)

The videos were done by media students. It was called 'Queen Films'. Queen financed it though.
Agreed! It should probably be at the end of or should I say, the finish of your journey through Queen’s music catalog, because I believe your journey will never end once you are a fan and I do believe my dear friend that you can NOW say that you are definitely a Queen Fan♥️
"Let me Live" is a song which they started with Rod Stewart in about 1983, and didn't finish it until about 1994, when they finally finished it with Freddie's vocal takes for the album "Made in Heaven" but without Rod Stewart's vocals.
Agree, prefer the lyrics on this one
Perfect Reaction!!!! This Was The Song That Started My Queen Journey!!!! I was 11yrs Old When I Bought The "News Of The World" Album!!!! I Bought The Album Because Of We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions!!!!! I Listened To Those Songs So Many Times That A Year And A Half Later I Had To Buy A New Album!!!! At That Time I Decided To Listen To The Whole Album... This Song Was The Last Track On The Album, And I Became An Eternal Queen Fan!!!! I Started Buying All The Queen Albums And Haven't Looked Back Since!!!! I Love Your Reaction Keep Up Great Work!!!
Okayyy. A first listen for me too. Love it. Another favorite.
This is one of my Top 10 drum songs I want to learn. A-stounding drumming on a fantastic song.
Amazing! HAP thanks for your reaction...Still loving u darling!💞
Faboulous reaction, as always......you are a genius. And as always I love the song after seeing with you........thanks HAP 👑
Insightful and engaged reaction as always :)
react to friend will be friends is a song by Freddie and John. The video ☺👍
this song was absolutely about a man who is questioning his marriage and has an affair on his wife. He feels strongly about his mistress but guilty about chesting on his wife. The wife tells him it's late but not too late to be with her and in the second chorus he is telling his mistress that its not too late for them to have a relationship. the third verse and chorus seems to tell that the wife confronts him about his infidelity and he is struck with guilt and wonders if he does stay with his wife would that make his life a lie. there seems to be a sense that he stayed with his wife when it says let the fire take our bodies tonight and let the tide wash our guilt into the tide, however i guess he could have been saying that to the mistress as well. I guess it is up to interpretation. It has been documented that Brian May had dealt with some father-son acceptance issues and anxieties over his own role as a husband and father and sometimes these themes came out in his writing. He wrote Father to Son about a father advising his son but with little affect and he wrote Good Company about a man working all his life to build his company that he never built a relationship with someone to share it with. He wrote Leaving home aint easy about a man who wants to leave his wife but doesn't have the fortitude to do so because it would hurt her and Save Me was obviously how he felt after the relationship has ended. He also wrote Too much love will kill you talking about making the hard choice between a new love and the love you leave behind as per the lyrics in the song. It is a beautiful song that he did solo and also released it as a queen song with Freddie singing it. You should hear the lyrics and Freddie"s heart wrenching vocals and Brian's version is great as well. I love your enthusiastic way of reacting to a song, your curiosity and wanting to really connect with the lyrics and the music. I love to find out the history of songs and what the writer was trying to say as well. It's commonly known that Brian did have an affair with with Current wife Anita while he was still married to Chrissy. Since his affair with Anita was in the 80"s and this song was written in the 70"s it couldn't be about that affair but he married Chrissy in 1974 and It's late was written in 1977 so not sure if he was talking about a personal experience of him having an affair then or just a fictional one. He met Anita Dobson in 1986 and divorced his wife Chrissy in 1988. He and Anita got married in 2000. Im not judging Brian May's morals, just the facts. We don't know the dynamics of his 1st marriage and it is not my place to judge anyone. I love Brian May as an artist and from everything i have seen about him he seems to be a great human being as well. Queen were human beings just like us and were prone to the same human frailties as we do. So all Love and no Hate.
Brilliant, thanks brother of the North.
Damn another awesome Queen song and I think this was off of their News of the World album in 1977. Somebody else will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it's from news of the world because I kept getting this song mixed up with now I'm here and now I'm here is off of sheer heart attack and not news of the world. You recently did an awesome reaction to now I'm here and I love your reaction because the energy was incredible,!!
Live at Wembley 1986 now I'm here is absolutely incredible!! " put the children to bed it 's dirty!: your reaction 😂😂 priceless.
This is a really really good song as well and enjoy because I will.
Quote from Roger Taylor: "There wasn’t much sex and drugs… well, there wasn’t much drugs!'
Great reaction!! This song is very deep with excellent musicianship. It’s hard to know exactly what they were thinking but I think you have figured out most of it. Another commentator said it was to due with Brian cheating on his wife. I think that could be true.
Ha revisiting some of your older reactions. Love this track.
One of my favourite songs. Always love the Rock side of Queen. Glad you chose the album version rather than the much shorter single version which had it's heart torn out of it. Some songs are 6 minutes long for a reason.
Mother Love is a song on the Made in Heaven album released a few years after Freddie died. That was the last song he recorded and passed away before he could go back to the studio and finish the last verse. Brian and Roger both said in a documentary that they were amazed the notes he hit in the middle of it. They said it was “Spine Chilling”- and it was.
Please react to Another One Bites the Dust live at Wembley 7/12/86
Love of My Life live at Wembley 7/12/86
It’s A Kind of Magic live at Wembley 7/11/86
Under Pressure live at Wembley 7/11/86
Who Wants to Live Forever live at Wembley 7/11/86.
Heck- please do the whole concert!!
They sold out Wembley so fast that they had 2 nights - 7/11 and 7/12 1986. They sold out the second night so fast they tried to get a third but couldn’t get it at Wembley so they booked another concert at nearby Knebworth which held 140,000 and sold that out also. That happened to be the last concert of the Magic Tour and last concert with Freddie.
Just thought I'd make something very very clear here, mainly to everyone talking about Anita. Brian met Anita in 1986 and never knew her previously, it's late is from 1977, so IS NOT about Brian having an affair with her. This has nothing whatsoever to do with her, because he never knew her
Honestly? I think the song is about Brian cheating on his wife, then she finds out and wants to break up, but they don't, and after that, he cheats on her again. The song is great, though and I love Freddie's screams XD
Yes, his wife had to put up with his cheating, and there were newspaper photos of him with Anita while his wife stayed home with their 3 children. He said in an interview that he had "difficulty" with his relationdhips with women. He slso said he was with Anita off and on from 1985 Live Aid, but didn't divorce his wife until 88.
I thought so too when I first heard it but someone pointed out to me that it was written long before he met Anita.
I'm not talking about Anita. I think the song is about the girls he and the band met while touring, like Peaches (the one in the dungeons, heh) and his relationship with Chrissie.
Yes, really meant that for the other commenter. Sorry.
@@HelenaDax I did not know that, but that makes sense. Do tell the story, when was that? Wasn't Peaches John Deacon's girlfriend in New Orleans or do I have them mixed up?
Gosh I meant the song ‘It’s Late’. This version is good but the ‘It’s Late Alternative’ version has more to offer. Thank you Hap!
For how sweet and kind Brian is, it is honestly disconcerting when you go through and see just how many songs he wrote about cheating on or wanting to leave his wife. 😔.
17:55 Did you know? : This part is Freddie Mercury’s highest note. Only a few people noticed 😂😂
Great song. I think you understood it quite well.
Listen to the maida vale version. Itl blow you away
Gotta go to bed, IT'S LATE!! 😁
Hap- please react to the alternative- it’s-
‘It’s Too Late- Alternative’ it will set you on fire!! Omg I almost had a stroke!! Much stronger singing by Freddie and the entire band!!
In my opinion the prophets song is Brian’s bohemian rhapsody. And i get that you don’t want to do let me live yet and in a way you’re right about Freddie not finishing that song. Mother love is the song that i think you’re talking about. In that song Brian takes over but kind of that similar thing happends in let me live. In that song Freddie sings the first verse, Roger the second and Brian the third ( i have to tell you that i dont know if Freddie passed away and then they finished that song or that it always the plan to do it like this). But i made another suggestion that i would love you to react to. Its ‘is this the world that we created...?’ Its beautiful and written by Brian and Freddie and also performd at live aid (but i already told you that in your live aid reaction😂😂) so please react to it💜
I tkink it may be about Briians and the depression about leaving wife for somone he met and eventually married. I read that the video breakthrough was good for his depression.
barbara this was written in1977 long before he left his wife chrissie
Because he was married an had a side GF
