An incredible theatrical performance from Freddie in this.video.Something that just occurred to me 40 years later after a couple hits of Ganj and watching a video ive seen a million times.Another perspective.Queen Rules! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER FREDDIE MERCURY...A true original.
roger and john standing in the back there like pillars is really great imagery, you'll see they wont budge or move an inch. they're always in the back, supporting freddy like the pillars of the group with the drums and the bass

This song shows how much Freddie loved the opera and was a legendary singer with unique singing skills .. The intro is taken from the Italian aria "vesti la giubba"
every queen vid: freddie: going all out and looking stunning doing it. roger: hating everything and canNOT act john: being sassy and quiet brian: going with the flow and being a happy little bean
3:06 Deacy and Taylor's facial expressions and true feelings for the video and their costumes coming through. 😅😅😅 (Deacy looking really fiiiiiiine and hot though)
I’ve met Queen maybe way too late but i am really thankful that i get to listen Queen when i feel sad, when i feel happy, when i want to dance or when i want to cry. I have been feeling suffocated with everything going on in my life. I cannot describe how Queen helps me with it. I was born 11 years after Freddie’s death but i miss him like crazy. I wouldve given anything to attend to a Queen concert when he was still here. Hearing his voice live, seeing all 4 of them together again. I am just amazed that a band that was making music long before i was even born can make me feel so many different things in 2020s. I never thought it would happen. I saw a comment that said something about favorite queen song changing constantly. Damn right they were. With every single song I’ve listened, i’ve made a connection. Thank you for being there for me even though you dont even know i exist. Your music is like a medicine. You help me get better. Thank you Queen. You dont know how grateful i am.
I remember in the mid 70s because I seemed to be the only one who liked Queen. Because it was Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Eagles, Boston , the Cars, Blondie, ELO, America, BTO, Fogg hat, Greatful Dead, the Who, Rolling Stones, or you name the group. But no one seemed to see the beauty and richness of Queen music.
I strongly agree, I too would’ve done anything to see queen live I had had been born early enough. Queen is my safe space- however I’m feeling, angry, sad, happy, I still feel greatly uplifted when I hear their music. My comfort people ❤❤
From Australia I hope you are well. I am 75yrs and saw them in Hyde park London in September 1976.. I loved them before that. I listen to all music but Queen gets to heartstrings. Keep listening and rocking my friend their music is immortal. Geniuses. Thank you Freddie and Brian, Roger and John ❤
@@ElvarMasson Definitely not. This song was Freddie truly expressing himself and not to mention that the composition of this song is so perfect. In my opinion, this is their best song.
@@Thevreendodn3 I had no idea. I remember listening to the song and watching the video in the mid-'80s (when it was released). For almost 30 years have I heard people singing along to it, and some even mimicking the guitar intro, as well as the solo. This is news to me
@@ElvarMasson Yeah, times change. As the years go on, people will only remember the big hits of an album. Happens with every albums new release. You hear every song trending and before you know it, only 2 of the songs stand the test of time.
Roger always hated this music video. He said they look stupid in those costumes but he loved the song. I think they’re so beautiful and precious. I love the boys ❤️ this is a piece of art. Look at Deaky, I love him!
@sam and dean Rodriguez o ok : P i wish i was alive when he was i luv queen and Freddie and Rodger and Deacky And Brian *Cri* i hate how Freddie/Queen worked so hard on their songs just for people to put them on stupid commercials
3:44 Freddie had an injury in his leg and still he continued to work for the video and album.Its evident by the way he sits.Salute to this man's passion.
@@jeanandre6998 he had not tested postive until 87 he had a plaster on his leg and had it removed so he could do thr video but his leg was still sensitive so he had to be cautious not to irrate the injury again
Some people might find the video too flamboyant too gay or whatever but I just simply find it magical. Only Queen can pull of a classy video with a little bit of Mozartian naughtiness and some hard rock chords. You can't beat Brian May's somber climb up the stairs with a casket guitar case later to pull out the guitar into a holy relic of sorts. Roger and John looking like regal court aristocrats trying to decide on fate and our beloved Freddie looking like a cross between "Rock Me Amadeus" and Sigue Sigue Sputnik and a ballet dancer with a dash of an operatic diva. The video is very colorful and worthy of the Britishness that only Queen can produce. Enough said the video is a work of art. Something that no other band can even attempt to make in-between an autotune.
I just love this song from every aspect, the music and vocals match the words and the meaning perfectly, how it starts dramatically saying "there's no reason for living with a broken heart", but then there's like this whole journey of acceptance and maturing, to realizing the world isn't ending after a heartbreak and love is still there, waiting for you to reach it. Remarkable.
Ita very difficult to choose the best song of queen causr there are so many many beautiful songs from this 4 amazing performers. Love from Norway ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
this video will always crack me up. Freddie in his element, Brian all serious but seems on the verge of cracking up, and John and Roger ready to kill someone.
All of you, Freddie in perticular, love just oozes out from your songs. I can feel it, surrounded by it. It gives me love, warmth, and courage to go on. Thank you.
my father was a really big fan of QUEEN back in the day. He used to wait at cape town docks for their latest album to come off the ship for delivery. So, many years later in fact in 2004, 20 years after his death I bought the 3 pack cd of Queen. Took it to my uncle and told me to put track 7, cd1 on. Now bear in mind my uncle is converted and doesn't listen to Queen at all, but he insisted that I should listen to this song as he will explained why. He told me that on the night my Father passed away in 1984, my uncle received the news of my father's death which was a shock as he was murdered. After he got the news and put down the phone he went to the sit by the tv clearly being shocked by the news he switched on the tv and on the tv that exact moment on came this track 7 cd1 which is "Queen - It's A Hard Life". He told me this song he will never forget as the title just said what he was thinking bearing mind how my father died. So this song might not be one of Queen's best to others but it will remain with me as a memory of my father!!!
Many modern “ artists “ wish they had queens talent! Freddie’s vocals, Brian’s guitar, Johns bass, Rogers drums and vocals make me shiver with excitement !
_.marriissaa 1000 times better knowing that as well as that ,Roger also said that he thought that this video is the stupidest video ever made and it made them look ridiculous. Personally I think Roger looked great and this video isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be
Not just Freddie, but the whole band. The guys were and still are one of the biggest bands in the world. I had the pleasure of watching them twice in Brazil.
The opening lines "I don't want my freedom, there is no reason for living" is directly derived from "Vesti La gubia" ( 'Ridi, Pagliacci!') from the opera "Pagliacci". Freddie, the opera lover! ;-)
@@AimzS94 is quite odd as a Rocker is also a Opera lover, but if a person take some attention Rock and some Metal are similar to Opera... are both styles that demands a lot of the performers, musicians, singers and composers, and if you fail your are dommed; but Queen sing more about the 5th element of the Nature than all the Rock groups togheter
@@avelteavelte6606 He means pissed off. Which he was if you even listen to him speaking about the making of the clip. You're saying he is drunk all the time??? Insulting twat.
Roger: *looking angry entire time because he has to wear ridiculous outfit* Brian: *disappointed in costume choices but keeps it together* John: *also pretty over the clothing but makes the most out of the situation by posing like a model* Freddie: *absolutely loving the entire thing and not caring who knows it* 👑😂
Funny! Brian says there is always a hidden meaning in Freddie’s videos. I did notice that John and Freddie are the only two people seen at the end. I watched this song from Montreau 1984 and Freddie sure seems to be singing to an upset John. This video attached has John and Freddie singing to each other? An I crazy? th-cam.com/video/HyFEzKH3HjA/w-d-xo.html 2:08
I'm glad my Dad brought me up on music like Queen. Freddy was/is the most talented singer for me and the legacy they made is amongst the greatest. I've always thought what Freddy would of done if he lived... such a generational talent.
Beautiful man with a powerful and angelic voice that's what makes its so magical.you are always here in spirit with us and never ever forgotten with lots of love..from one of your biggest fans!😊❤️🌹
This video is an example of Freddie's honesty and vibrance. Queen is so emotionally involved with the meaning of this performance; I find it very personal to them and I thank them for sharing their feelings and creativity.
@Brianmay.__ Well Yes; however I'm delighted. I hope you're having a good day, and all is going well with you. Take care of yourself, and I hope life is treating you very well. Stay in touch! Anne
I grew up in the 80s listening to Queen but not really hearing the lyrics. Later in life and with a 20 year marriage at an amicable end I hear this track played in a bar, it was like hearing it for the first time. This is now such as special song for me, full of wisdom. Better to have loved and lost than not at all.
I just love this video more and more every time I watch it. Just so camp and so Freddie. They’re adorable and if Roger and John didn’t like their costumes it just makes it hilarious. Queen never fails to bring me joy. Love em soooooo much.
Not to say anything bad about the band or Freddie but.. he really just crafted the bands image in the way He saw it… yes, they were amazing, yes they created music that will never die, and yes, QUEEN will live on Forever. However, not sure if the rest of the band totally agreed on the bands image though…
I love this. Everything from instrumental (complexity, dynamics, Brian SHREDDING it and transporting us all to a better place), costumes, hair, makeup, concept ... not to mention the one and only, absolutely unique voice of Freddy. The whole video is a sheer artistic success. Even Brian walking up the stairs is awesome, and John and Roger .... there's so much to it and it's all awesome. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
👍 поддерживаю целиком и полностью! Что я и делаю с частой периодичностью. Обожаю всех этих легендарных людей. Их творчество бессмертно! Это космос! Не реальный космос!
I don't want my freedom There's no reason for living with a broken heart This is a tricky situation I've only got myself to blame It's just a simple fact of life It could happen to anyone You win - you lose It's a chance you have to take with love Oh yeah - I fell in love But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart It's a hard life To be true lovers together To love and live forever in each others hearts It's a long hard fight To learn to care for each other To trust in one another right from the start When you're in love I try and mend the broken pieces I try to fight back the tears They say its just a state of mind But it happens to everyone How it hurts (yeah)- deep inside (oh yeah) When your love has cut you down in size Life is tough - on your own Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies I'm waiting for love Yes it's a hard life Two lovers together To love and live forever in each others hearts It's a long hard fight To learn to care for each other To trust in one another right from the start When you're in love Yes it's a hard life In a world that's filled with sorrow There are people searching for love in every way It's a long hard fight But I'll always live for tomorrow I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love
Can we talk about how long John and Roger had to hold those poses starting at 3:14 ? Like Freddie got to move while he sang, Brian was outta the shots for some time, Roger was just dang cement standing there and they just had to sorta zoom into John making him have the hardest part lmao doesn't even look like they were breathing
A once in a lifetime, magical, special person. Better than any drug. We always come back for more and it only hurts in a good way. I don't think he knew he would have this Impact on me and the rest of us but whatever it is he shared was AMAZING!
I was 18 years old when this song was released on 1984 and this is one of my family favorite Queen song. Thank you Queen for creating such a beautiful song.
can we just stop arguing about "real queen fans"? It doesn't matter if someone came from the movie or not. to be a queen fan, you just have to like their music and respect them as people
Thanks God for putting these 4 guys together...
Maybe it's just the destiny and not God..
you cant thank god if these 4 are god
FREYJA HUFFMAN so edgy
There is no god.
You going to thank your magic man for giving him aids?

I don't know why this is not on the top of the most important Queen's songs
masterpiece of a song
Better song than bohemian rhapsody though freddies voice on that song was perfection
It's a hard life is a magnificent song, but it was overshadowed by Radio Gaga and I want to break free

Yes the real problem of Queen is that we constantly change our favourite Queen song.
You're right my friend
It's real!
lol i was literally just thinking that. too many to choose from it all depends on the mood
The problem is when we think this is the perfect song we discovers the next

I love how John is in the thumbnail, he doesn’t get enough attention.
He looked so so fine in the thumbnail I had to see this video xD

True.
Falling In Zero Gravity yeah honestly. I think John needs more attention. He is the most underrated queen member. Most people forget about John.

I totally agree with you!!! 💯🤗
do you know that the start is actually an opera aria by Leoncavallo? with different lyrics of course, but the melody is the same

Your name is Freddie's alter egos name!! Elton John named him Melina!

@@AimzS94 is quite odd as a Rocker is also a Opera lover, but if a person take some attention Rock and some Metal are similar to Opera... are both styles that demands a lot of the performers, musicians, singers and composers, and if you fail your are dommed; but Queen sing more about the 5th element of the Nature than all the Rock groups togheter
i just love how pissed roger looks in this video
Why would he get pissy?
If anything it was his idea to dress up as woman in "I Want To Break Free"
Oscar Jimenes apparently the ruff was very uncomfortable ;)
He probably just wanted to get out of the set to spend car time
He’s drunk in all queen videos 😍😍😍😍
@@avelteavelte6606 He means pissed off. Which he was if you even listen to him speaking about the making of the clip. You're saying he is drunk all the time??? Insulting twat.
this song is amazing
Roger: *looking angry entire time because he has to wear ridiculous outfit*
Brian: *disappointed in costume choices but keeps it together*
John: *also pretty over the clothing but makes the most out of the situation by posing like a model*
Freddie: *absolutely loving the entire thing and not caring who knows it*
👑😂
Yeah, John hates it too LOL
Funny! Brian says there is always a hidden meaning in Freddie’s videos. I did notice that John and Freddie are the only two people seen at the end. I watched this song from Montreau 1984 and Freddie sure seems to be singing to an upset John. This video attached has John and Freddie singing to each other? An I crazy?

Roger always looks that way, it's just his way. You should see him in Calling All Girls.
Freddie : my right foot hurts when i put pressure on it. 3:44 gives up.
Brian had the consolation of the cool skull guitar.
Freddie: it's a hard life
John and Roger: no shit. Look at what we're wearing
Oh dear, that made me laugh harder than it should have!
Lol
😂😂😂
and Freddie dressed up like a Final Fantasy villain doesn't have it much better :P
haha 😂
I'm glad my Dad brought me up on music like Queen. Freddy was/is the most talented singer for me and the legacy they made is amongst the greatest. I've always thought what Freddy would of done if he lived... such a generational talent.
Beautiful man with a powerful and angelic voice that's what makes its so magical.you are always here in spirit with us and never ever forgotten with lots of love..from one of your biggest fans!😊❤️🌹
This song should be as popular as we are the champions and we will rock you, it is such a beautiful song
its better
Idk what i was thinking when i wrote that comment
I can't agree more
I agree, I also think it's better.
@@Intercontinentalist i quit listening to queen
This song shows why QUEEN are best band ever. No other group could perform such a song.
Life is hard without Freddie. But listening to him sing makes it better.
This video is an example of Freddie's honesty and vibrance. Queen is so emotionally involved with the meaning of this performance; I find it very personal to them and I thank them for sharing their feelings and creativity.
The songs Freddie Mercury wrote are the outstanding ones , this is one of those.
Well hi, I'm doing very well, hope you are; as well.@Brianmay.__
@Brianmay.__ I'm doing well,; hope you are, as well
@Brianmay.__ Well Yes; however I'm delighted. I hope you're having a good day, and all is going well with you. Take care of yourself, and I hope life is treating you very well. Stay in touch! Anne
Freddie was a true gift to humanity , he was able to being together people over the love of music.
Queen are LEGEND, don't you think?
I don't think so... I know so!
YEAH
no doubt....but freddie is near to god
Jazzy Fabbry yes!!
Jazzy Fabbry hell Yeh amazing the best!!!
When songs had a story, and singers had a voice
I grew up in the 80s listening to Queen but not really hearing the lyrics. Later in life and with a 20 year marriage at an amicable end I hear this track played in a bar, it was like hearing it for the first time. This is now such as special song for me, full of wisdom. Better to have loved and lost than not at all.
I just love this video more and more every time I watch it. Just so camp and so Freddie. They’re adorable and if Roger and John didn’t like their costumes it just makes it hilarious. Queen never fails to bring me joy. Love em soooooo much.
Roger is very honest about hating the costume in interviews ;)
The start of the song with a verse from a famous Italian opera singer, shows his capacity for singing opera😘😘😘
it's so hard not to laugh at roger in this because he looks so annoyed and mad it's hilarious.
Ikr just look at him 3:09. The fact that he was so annoyed just makes me love this video more
Him and Deacy look so pissed throughout this video! 😂 The upside is that Deacy makes being a 🦄 look so badass! 😂🤘❤️
They were talking when freddie was walking down stairs he gives them a evil look
@@saraa136 ikr
In the commentary video Rog did with Bri, Rog holds nothing back. 😂
Uno dei video più belli mai fatti,onore alla Regina ❤❤❤❤
Freddie Mercury was a genius in every way, not just musically, but in creating his videos, in crafting the band's image. This is for the few.
Yes Dennis, Freddie was a Genius, this Is for the few! Beautiful video!!!! Timeless!👑👍💕💯🇨🇮
Not to say anything bad about the band or Freddie but.. he really just crafted the bands image in the way
He saw it… yes, they were amazing, yes they created music that will never die, and yes, QUEEN will live on
Forever. However, not sure if the rest of the band totally agreed on the bands image though…
@@Ketil1973 why?
Brian May's solo at 2:59 is one of the greatest things ive heard
You're totally right
@@nachodellerba413 yeah !
A bit like the USSR anthem
Великий Фаррух Булсара!!! Навсегда ♾ в наших сердцах !!! Фантастический , непревзойдённый и незаменимый!!! Самый лучший из лучших !!! Космос !!!
Freddy du bist unvergessen, unsterblich !!!
Поцеловал же Боженька человека! Он ведь не только великолепный вокалист, огромное количество песен написано им, да таких роскошных - великий талант!
Да, Фреди недостижимая величина, все что он нам оставил было создано как предельное высшее качество!
The best band ever Queen and the best singer ever Freddie Mercury♥️🏆🥇🎤🎹🎸🎵🎶
I love this. Everything from instrumental (complexity, dynamics, Brian SHREDDING it and transporting us all to a better place), costumes, hair, makeup, concept ... not to mention the one and only, absolutely unique voice of Freddy. The whole video is a sheer artistic success. Even Brian walking up the stairs is awesome, and John and Roger .... there's so much to it and it's all awesome. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Escuchar esta canción con los audífonos es el paraíso, la voz de Freddie es simplemente mágica
I love how all the other guys are like shooting murderous glances toward Freddie and he couldn’t be bothered. Bonus points for Deaky’s snarky smile.
Love Deaky. May he forever smile.
Nobody else could have pulled off wearing an unicorn outfit as well as Deaky
Timestamp?
@@aliciamarie2414 Sorry, missed your comment. Around 3:09
You can tell by the faces of John, Roger & Brian the theme & costumes for this video was entirely Freddie's idea.
3:14 Brian sadly walks down because of Freddie’s costume choice
Wasn't though as we saw in the movie Bohemian rhapsody.
@@omid1349 shouldve been in it
@@ashen6579 Freddie gets angry about people assuming he was behind that video saying it wasn't even him!
@@omid1349 it was his doppelganger
Ile jest utworów Queen, że mówisz: ten jest najlepszy! Mnóstwo!
Человек должен периодически слушать музыку Queen, чтобы не забывать какой красивой может быть музыка и каким великолепным исполнение.
👍 поддерживаю целиком и полностью! Что я и делаю с частой периодичностью. Обожаю всех этих легендарных людей. Их творчество бессмертно! Это космос! Не реальный космос!
Только один минус - после Фредди невозможно слушать наших "певцов" 😂
@@aglaonemaaglaonema9826 это да, безусловно. 😉
Не периодически, всегда.!!!! Только Queen. Это не Земля. Это круче. Я туда хочу.
@@Emin-rn7sr я тоже
Freddie's smile at 3:37 is just adorable...
Ok but why is Freddie so good at everything?! His acting was amazing in this video!
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It could happen to anyone
You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say its just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts (yeah)- deep inside (oh yeah)
When your love has cut you down in size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
I'm waiting for love
Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in every way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love
www.modely-masinek.cz THANK YOUUU
Just made me cry
There's no better solo guitar than that one. Queen, I'll always think you're the best of the Universe.
3:18 there's so much sass in Deacy's pose
ineffable dreamer this needs more likes
HAJAHAHAHAAHAHA LMFAOOOO I'M DEAAD 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
he is deaky, deaky is always sassy 😌💅
mom says kts my turn on the xbox
Simplemente Freddie gracias x tanto talento
Still listening 2024 youre a legend
Good for you, dear...
Gosto muito dessa música mas aparece muitos símbolos satânico 😢
Still from indonesia🫰
oh Freddie we miss you. hope you and David are singing to sold out shows every night in the great beyond.
Heck man, sold out in heaven.... Just imagine that
I don't believe in heaven yet I almost cried thinking about this.
E. A.P. well maybe u should look into it 😉
Grady Geiger look into something that doesn't exist?
Brayden Jolly i wasn't talking to you I mean if you don't believe that's ur choice man not mine
The most underrated song of Queen
Don't forget Bicycle Race
That honor goes to Bijou. It's not even a single and it's literally one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
What a voice, a look, a mind...... WHAT A SOUL!!
Magnificent!! Absolutely magnificent.
NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCA existira otra banda como Queen
Queen es unico
Eso es todo escuchen bien que música tan hermosa porque dudo mucho que vuelvan escuchar música tan magistral como esta !!viva queen¡¡¡
Verdade
Can we talk about how long John and Roger had to hold those poses starting at 3:14 ? Like Freddie got to move while he sang, Brian was outta the shots for some time, Roger was just dang cement standing there and they just had to sorta zoom into John making him have the hardest part lmao doesn't even look like they were breathing
Imagine if they where itching...
What am I thinking about
Roger looks like hes pouting up a storm over there in his little corner
He does get the best pose tho. MAXIMUM SASS
How can we miss someone who we have never met? I really miss Freddie Mercury
It's a kind of magic
Me too
BECAUSE HE WAS SUCH A KIND MAN,THAT'S WHY WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH!🐐🐐❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏🙏
I feel the same .Insane isn't it ? He just is 💋
Me pasa igual se le extraña como si fuera tan cercano será que es un ángel y nos visita ,nos enamora ,de si gran magia
A once in a lifetime, magical, special person. Better than any drug. We always come back for more and it only hurts in a good way. I don't think he knew he would have this Impact on me and the rest of us but whatever it is he shared was AMAZING!
Today is his birthday
Happy birthday FREDDIE MERCURY
The immortal legend
Beautiful song,
beautiful band,
beautiful singer.
*FREDDIE AND QUEEN ARE THE BEST* 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
*_Cute_* *_Babe_* YESSSSSS
I was 18 years old when this song was released on 1984 and this is one of my family favorite Queen song. Thank you Queen for creating such a beautiful song.
I was 18 as well
Great song!! I love Queen and I love this song, Freddie is phenomenon, a unique voice!!!
If you're here, you're a real Queen fan. Don't forget the other underrated classics too.
Millionaire Waltz
It's late & '39 are my dad's and my favorites
Like some day one day
You dont HAVE to know the under rated classics to be a fan
Sweet Lady is one
can we just stop arguing about "real queen fans"? It doesn't matter if someone came from the movie or not. to be a queen fan, you just have to like their music and respect them as people
damn i agree
Respect
The movie just opened people's eyes 😃
true queen fans are fans of queen no matter how they were exposed to queen
@@gone2742 Indeed! Lucky ones are exposed thanks wise parents since childhood, another ones thanks the movie. But we all love Freddie 😊
3:04 Roger and Deaky are like You're going to pay for this Freddie!!
