Ogre battle and Lily Of The Valley represent the absolute peak leveled literacy of Mr. Mercury! His songwriting skills are out of this world, never have I ever witnessed anyone having a better way with words than this poetic soul! Freddie Mercury was quite bohemian, a lot into art, literature, poetry mythical legends and folklore of kingdoms and I find that relatable to a lot of extent 💜
I remember the first time I listened to Queen. My grandpa had lent me his vinyl, and told me “Listen to this. It is of a famous rock band” I did as he told me to. I started playing it, and it was amazing. I still remember that day as if it was yesterday, but this song caught my eye. This masterpiece. It was amazing. The lyrics, Freddie’s voice (specially at 0:58. At that part, he had me in tears). It gives such an intense feeling, I just don’t have words to explain it. I then went running to my Grandpa’s house and told him “Its amazing. I have no words” I was seven years old, and he actually told me to keep it. He actually gave me all his vinyls. I have to thank him for introducing me to this beautiful band. Fan since 2009!
Very beautiful and touching story... I wish other kids my age would listen to good music like this. I’m 14 and kids my age listen to stuff like cardi b. If only they knew about masterpieces such as this...
Diego Barbagelata I believe that they actually used violin bows in the making of this song. I might be completely wrong, but I think I heard it somewhere.
this is my first time listen to this song. i've only heard the very popular songs. As soon i heard of rami malek interview last year. That is one of his favorite song i had to check it out i love it. This song has so much meaning.
I have been playing this song on repeat and every time I do I tear up a little and am smiling the entire time because of Freddie’s beautiful angelic voice. No one could ever take his place or deliver the way he does. He is a legend and holds a special place in my heart.♥️♥️♥️
What a divine song and lyric. Freddie Mercury's talent is immeasurable. Lily Of The Valley sounded so angelic, venerable and powerful. Only Freddie can deliver the way he did. What a contrast to Death On Two Legs. One of my favour also--he sang it with so much passion there were so much story behind it too. Miss you Freddie ❤️
What I really like about Queen is songs like this. Songs that not too many people know but are soooooo awesome and you have a feeling like they only belong to you to listen too...
This is a masterpiece. Freddie Mercury's genius! And Freddie's beautiful voice! And Freddie's magical piano playing! The subtitle refers to a song from an earlier album, "Seven Seas of Rhye," with the following line: "The messenger of the seven seas flew away to tell Rhye that he had lost his throne." Freddie's things were so heavily disguised, literally ... But a little insight; he could carry a lot of personal thoughts in it, though not much was very accessible. Lily of the valley was completely heartfelt. It’s about looking at his girlfriend and realizing that her body needs to be elsewhere. Great creation, Freddie was an absolute genius!❤️
Queen's music is so mystical and magical. I remember listening to this as a teenager. Queen gave me a sense of the surreal. I love how they sang about kings and fairies. They are truly one of a kind.
How incredibly beautiful is Freddie's voice in this song? He wrote this before Seven seas of Rhye I guess. Part of the Story he and sister would make up. Just lovely.
1:15 feels just like coming out of a low trough and then riding the biggest wave the world has ever seen. What a magnificent band. Sometimes I hear people say they don't get them... Oh my God, how is that even possible.
Baby, you've been had I am forever searching high and low But why does everybody tell me no? Neptune of the seas, an answer for me, please The lily of the valley doesn't know I lie in wait with open eyes I carry on through stormy skies I follow every course my kingdom for a horse But each time I grow old Serpent of the Nile, relieve me for a while And cast me from your spell and let me go Messenger from Seven Seas has flown To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne Wars will never cease, is there time enough for peace? But the lily of the valley doesn't know
I always do the same. For a while I stop listening to Queen and I start to listen to other types of music, other authors ... and after another time, I return to listen to Queen .... And every time I do, I realize again why I like it so much ... SUBLIME !!! Again!!!!
Incredible, the lights, the voice, the music, the form of an unmistakably classic rock operatic ballad from my childhood. Listening to this feels like travelling back in time but it's also style of production that seems to be trending just now, Queen really are timeless.
christosmadrid i m also here bcause of rami malek and this song is beautiful just like my freddie mercury..i thought i knew every song of queen..i was wrong
I feel sorry for kids today cuz the 70s was THE GREATEST decade for music. It will never be matched!! I was in my 20s & rocking to the best music ever & seeing the best bands ever in concert including Queen at the top always!!!
Queen have no limits, they can nail absolutely every genre of music and make it sound out of this world. These guys are pure geniuses and real virtuoso musicians and are walking on higher ground. GODS really. Can you believe this is the same band that came up with Crazy Little Thing Called Love? Backchat? Another Bites the Dust? Bring back that Leeroy Brown? Holy F$&$& no other band in history has been able to do that and none will be able to either. They are greatest band of all time! Period!
I remember when i listened to this one for the first time. I was in the car and i already knew Fleek Of The Wrist but I hadn't listen it in the album, so when I went to listen to it in the album and the next song (this one) continued the line i was so so happy, it made my day and I'll never forget it
I think this song will be appropriate for our beloved Queen Elizabeth II. Because this is her favorite flower. Goodbye our beloved queen Elizabeth, your reign will not be forgotten. 🇬🇧👑
In some of these early Queen songs, John Deacon put extreme amount of melody in his tracks, those could easily have been vocal tracks in any song. Try to sing You're my Best Friend with the bass melody. That would be a completely different song.

Genius. Freddy you were and still are my hero. The greatest voice ever! I'll never forget Knebworth Park. The last ever Queen concert and THE best day of my life!
![Queen - Tenement Funster/ Flick of the Wrist/ Lily of the Valley [Seamless]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_taatvaBIuM/mqdefault.jpg)
This song and "Nevermore" are just the best. Pure brilliance, pure genius. And not known to many. Hidden treasures.
Have You Heard "Dear Friends", It's Beautiful Too???...
@@carlosreynaud233 i was thinking the same thing
Indeed.
Have you heard "You Take My Breath Away"?? It's such a beautiful song, too!!
@Chris Manzi yeeeah, one of my ever favourite folk rock songs
Freddie had the most beautiful voice ever. There will never be another like him
Amen, sista!
Marc Martel
@@priscillalfanai
Marc Martel sounds similar but it's pretty easy to tell them apart. Plus, his voice isn't as powerful as Freddie's.
Marvin Gaye but Freddie was a GodSend.
Priscilla L Fanai listen to how can i go on. Freddie and monsterrat. Thank me later 😎

Don’t forget The fairy feller’s master stroke, showing his excellent control of the english lenguage, it’s poetic.
@@superpina5864 Absolutely, I genuinely believe it's something WAY more than a masterpiece, phenomenally poetic! 💜
In interviews Freddy would say his lyrics were not very good, and that he had to work very hard to get anything worth keeping.
I remember the first time I listened to Queen.
My grandpa had lent me his vinyl, and told me “Listen to this. It is of a famous rock band” I did as he told me to.

SUCH a touching story! Thank you for sharing it!
this song can be written only by a genius musician
Very beautiful and touching story... I wish other kids my age would listen to good music like this. I’m 14 and kids my age listen to stuff like cardi b. If only they knew about masterpieces such as this...
@@maddi5578 yes same
Dammit! My eyes are leaking again.......
Freddie Mercury's voice at its higher level. A pure, powerful, angelic voice.
in fact, from another dimension
In fact, from another universe, where people are golden (where people are stardust)
Bowie?...
Ahh You must have yet to listen to his previous band Ibex xD that is his highest
This is probably the most criminally underrated Queen song ever.
TheZeroSbr There are too many though!!
Alan Tremonti Nah. A lot of their songs are just okay (just like any band), but Queen's great songs are a cut above any other band's songs.
TheZeroSbr no, is white queen
no its the march of the black queen, its late, my fairy king, a milonaire waltz, was it all worth it, innuendo, etc, etc...
Most underrated song period (Though I will agree that all songs mentioned above are also criminally underrated)
Another incredibly beautiful Freddie ballad.
The highest level of perfection in the world. amazing.
the guitars here sound like violins, its a genius thing.
Diego Barbagelata I believe that they actually used violin bows in the making of this song. I might be completely wrong, but I think I heard it somewhere.
Idk what is that astrophysicist guy doing but it was him
Unrelated but okay
Agree btw
The deaky amp uwuwuwu
Todo guitarra. Nada de violines
every Queen song is the best I can't believe people dislike this song
kookie* Sweet
I wouldn't worry too much it's only 53 compared 4.5K that like it
this is my first time listen to this song. i've only heard the very popular songs. As soon i heard of rami malek interview last year. That is one of his favorite song i had to check it out i love it. This song has so much meaning.
This is my ringtone!!! Love it.
Why is every 70s Queen song either a super hit or seriously underrated???
I guess there’s no in-between for the songs.
Because they were either a super hit, or were seriously underrated.....
Down to Pareto distribution...
well, we are ignoring hot space
@@pedrohenriquesoutogueiros1449 hot space is over hated
Listening to Freddie, I can touch eternity...
I agree!
Me too, a rare blessing -
70’s Freddie had a kind of magic in his voice ❤
My dad named me after this song, I was named 'Lily'. Because of this, we're playing this song at his funeral. Love you, dad ❤
but you still changed your name?
😭😭😭❤️❤️
@@herisrunswell looking at their picture I assume they are trans so it makes sense, that they change their name to actually match their gender
An angel's voice
Cristina Legros Alagón a gods voice If you Ask me
The man of many different voices and ranges.No one even comes close. Miss you Freddie.
I love how every song is the most underrated song for someone.
That’s Queen
I have been playing this song on repeat and every time I do I tear up a little and am smiling the entire time because of Freddie’s beautiful angelic voice. No one could ever take his place or deliver the way he does. He is a legend and holds a special place in my heart.♥️♥️♥️

How the hell can you not love this?
GABRIEL GOD one caricature for the soul
HenrikGMZ excatly
Agreed - crazy how many sub-2-minute songs they recorded that are absolute diamonds.
모두 프레디 음성에 집중되어 있지만 전체 곡 구성이 완벽하다. 그들 하나하나 역량이 밀집된 곡
The coolest thing about the first few Queen albums is they have these AMAZING little breaks in between their epic compositions. Love these guys.
Delicious voice of the King Freddie amazing song!!!
What I really like about Queen is songs like this. Songs that not too many people know but are soooooo awesome and you have a feeling like they only belong to you to listen too...
Nailed it! Beautifully put!
Wow, this gorgeous music, the amazing lyrics, and there’s just something about Freddie’s voice that makes you want to listen to it over and over again
Freddie’s purest vocals ever.
This and dear friends
okay we can all agree that all queen songs are great but 70s queen...woah its on some next level typa greatness...
This is a masterpiece.
Freddie Mercury's genius!
And Freddie's beautiful voice!
And Freddie's magical piano playing!

And to My fair King
I see why Rami Malek says this is one of his favorite Queen songs 😍🎶😘
Freddie’s voice really shines on this ballad range and his power gives goosebumps ! He is so amazing ! Put this one on full volume! Wow!
Queen's music is so mystical and magical. I remember listening to this as a teenager. Queen gave me a sense of the surreal. I love how they sang about kings and fairies. They are truly one of a kind.

誘惑のロックンロールに繋がるこの曲のエンディングのブライアンの荘厳なギターソロが素晴らしい。

sweet like a perfect flower. Voice piano and everything...Monumental song
1:15 feels just like coming out of a low trough and then riding the biggest wave the world has ever seen. What a magnificent band. Sometimes I hear people say they don't get them... Oh my God, how is that even possible.
This beautiful masterpiece definitely deserves more attention, it's just purely magical.
I can't understand why 220 people on earth disliked it.
Who else listens to Flick of the Wrist right before this to get the full experience?
i do. the whole album is great!
Khatchatour Mouradian I TOTALLY agree!!!
Tenement Funster, Flick of the Wrist and then lily of the valley, it's a medley :D
or SHA the full wack
The Medley is actually Tenement Funster, Flick of the Wrist, Lily of the Valley
What a beautiful strong voice. This is one of their best but underrated songs😔 R.I.P Freddie you are forever in our hearts ♥️
This, along with Nevermore and Dear Friends, is the perfect lullaby. So fucking beautiful.
Josie says fuck
And All Dead, All Dead.

My uncultured ass forgot that a lullaby was under two minutes omg lol
I like how this has references to Seven Seas of Rhye and Flick of the Wrist
and I like yer face

Your name gives me life
This has always been my favorite Queen song
素敵な曲、いつ聞いても癒されます、大好き❤️
Baby, you've been had
I am forever searching high and low
But why does everybody tell me no?
Neptune of the seas, an answer for me, please
The lily of the valley doesn't know
I lie in wait with open eyes
I carry on through stormy skies
I follow every course my kingdom for a horse
But each time I grow old
Serpent of the Nile, relieve me for a while
And cast me from your spell and let me go
Messenger from Seven Seas has flown
To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne
Wars will never cease, is there time enough for peace?
But the lily of the valley doesn't know
Every time I hear Freddie's somber compositions like this, I think of escapism and walking in the street at night.
my word's!
I always do the same. For a while I stop listening to Queen and I start to listen to other types of music, other authors ... and after another time, I return to listen to Queen ....
And every time I do, I realize again why I like it so much ... SUBLIME !!! Again!!!!

This one or Nevermore are such beautiful powerful ballads!
thanks Rami Malek
christosmadrid i m also here bcause of rami malek and this song is beautiful just like my freddie mercury..i thought i knew every song of queen..i was wrong
how stupid are you?
Rover Waters whats so stupid about it!!!!!!
christosmadrid this will be a flop im telling you, have you seen him impersonate Freddie? Pathetic.
+Rover Waters is that your name, or were you trying to type Roger Waters?
this is a masterpiece i can't believe how perfect it is
Listening to this with headphones kinda gave me a sheer heart attack at the beginning
BRING OUT THE COMMENT TROPHY! WE GOT A WINNER!
@@doctorbuddha1906 I AGREE
YESSSS!
We needed more songs like this with his voice. I feel like we couldn't get enough of him before it was his time to go. This song is a masterpiece.
This song makes me miss Freddie even more...
I love the piano in this one!
I just keep finding more and more gems on this album
Glad i discovered it 47 years ago.
As a girl with the name Lily, I can say with confidence that I am very proud of this song

Angel voice...
Increíble, inigualable. Sin palabras. Único. Nunca nadie, jamás.

this song represents the phrase: "everything that is good doesn't last long"....This song is really short !!
i wish this song was longer...😭
No one could sing this as well as Freddie 🥰🥰🥰
The harmonization here is outstanding. Raises the hairs on my body and hits the chest like a transport every time. 💖💕💖
I can't believe this is so underrated, it's great song
1:16 : To Tell The King Of Rhye He's lost his throne Best Part
Glad someone notice that other then me
So haunting, Freddy a true artist
I think this song will be appropriate for our beloved Queen Elizabeth II. Because this is her favorite flower.

0:26 that,,why" is so beautiful
[Intro]
Baby, you've been had
[Verse]
I am forever searching high and low
But why does everybody tell me no?
Neptune of the seas
Have you an answer for me, please?
And the lily of the valley doesn't know
I lie in wait with open eyes
I carry on through stormy skies
I follow every course
My kingdom for a horse
But each time I grow old
Serpent of the Nile
Relieve me for a while
And cast me from your spell and let me go
[Outro]
Messenger from Seven Seas has flown
To tell the King of Rhye he's lost his throne
Wars will never cease
Is there time enough for peace?
But the lily of the valley doesn't know
Pure poetry.
love it short and sweet from queen.
‘My kingdom for a horse’ and ‘tell the king of rhye he’s lost his throne’ are such lines and great moments
I heard Brian May said this was one his favourite Queen songs on Radio X. And I can see why
Genius. Freddy you were and still are my hero. The greatest voice ever! I'll never forget Knebworth Park. The last ever Queen concert and THE best day of my life!
Freddie too
The ending it's just beautiful...
We talked about this songs release before he released it I miss him so much
0:08 that guitar transition is literally so memorisable I remember when i was a kid i used to get scared of it haha
Nice
This song is so freakin beautiful I love singing along with freddie
Love and miss you everyday
Straight away one can recognise Mercury’s stamp of authority all over this one.
Beautiful.
Beautiful song and vocal
