    He was saying goodbye to us, and telling us he loved us 😢 💔 ,RIP magical man

    To put it bluntly, half of his foot had rotted away and even wearing clothes caused him physical pain. So of course he wasn't moving around! The video was released in black and white deliberately to hide just how sick Freddie was. This was the final video Queen filmed, Freddie was all but on his death bed. Most Queen fans do like and respect it. It's power lies in its poignancy. Roger Taylor wrote it while watching his children, but it became very fitting for what Freddie was going through. And it served as a final goodbye to the fans.

    As I’m sure other people will say in the comments, Freddie was seriously ill at this point, this is him pretty much saying goodbye to us.

    I am so shocked at the very ignorant and disrespectful reaction to Freddie's last video to his fans before he passed away. He was in excruciating pain, could hardly stand up, was terminally ill but was so determined to leave a Love letter to Queen fans in Britain and around the world. You both look very immature and terrible in this video. We are still heartbroken at losing Freddie and find this so hurtful. I switched it off. Badly done fellas. Very badly done 😔

    This was Freddie's last video he made and the end bit when he looks at the camera and says "I still love you." is thought to be him saying goodbye to his fans and that he loved them. There was one more Queen video but it did not have Freddie in it as it was made after Freddie's passing, and that is No-one But You (Only The Good Die Young) where the vocals are done by Brian and Roger.

    Jeez, the lack of empathy for someone who was weeks away from death is mind blowing. The cultural differences between our countries in full display. Thank you Freddy for your last show of love to your fans. x R.I.P.

  • @YummyBrummy
    @YummyBrummy 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

    This video was done for the fans. He knew it was not long before his death. Its in the lyrics. Looking gaunt, he could hardly stand up, thats why he don't move. You know thats not Freddie's way. He owned the stage usually.

    There will never, ever be another Freddie! This song is beautiful and the video is extremely emotional and in some ways difficult to watch. That last message at the end as he looks into the camera and says that iconic line, "I still love you", breaks my heart every time, the last thank you and goodbye to his fans.

  • @betseyclark2832
    @betseyclark2832 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    This song was witten by Roger Taylor who was reflecting on the past. It took on a new meaning when sung by Freddie who was in the last stages of his illness and life. The last line "I still love you" (which is unfortunately obscured by youtube) was a final goodbye to his fans. It went to No. 1 in the UK in 1991.❤❤

    This was Freddies last video 6 months before he passed away. They did it in b and w because he was so ill. So May of 1991. He passed on Nov 24 1991. Freddies goodbye song to us. Freddie was dying doing his best and did an amazing job. It took it out of him. RIP Freddie. We love you too, Freddie.

    Be nice, if people that do music reaction videos, actually do a little bit of research. Some do, some don't. Bohemian Rhapsody/These are the days of our lives was released after Freddie's death and raised a lot of money for AIDS charities. Roger Taylor wrote the song. Freddie worked hard to the end. An inspiration to many. I guess apart from two dumbasses sitting in the basement, doing music reaction videos.

  • @iangrant3615

    This was Freddie Mercury saying goodbye. He was close to death. All concerns over what kind of thing a 'rock band' should do by this point were irrelevant.

  • @Sassypaws4927
    @Sassypaws4927 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    "These Are The Days of Our Lives" is among the last songs Freddie Mercury recorded and released before his death.
    The music video is definitively Freddie’s final music video appearance. His make-up seems like an effort to both cover up and reveal his disease, a necessary cosmetic attempt due to his increasingly gaunt appearance and skin problems due to his suffering deterioration from symptoms associated with AIDS.
    The video also has a filter over it, to help the optics of his appearance.
    Apparently, in the recording studio, Freddie nailed the vocals to this song on the first take, which is not a stretch, given the song so comfortably in his range. The more challenging vocal efforts on songs such as “The Show Must Go On”, the album’s final track, are now known to have been astonishingly, and famously, effortless, given they sound as such, with the urgency of a seasoned singer with his time running out, whose vocals went from lyrical innuendo to recorded, palpable, and legendary legacy.
    “These Are the Days of Our Lives”, being chosen as a single-release, became more poignant on video, as a final visual “goodbye”, given Freddie’s approach in his performance, and truly authentic, and final, “I still love you”. He couldn't stand up alone at this stage of his life; he was propped up.
    The song has a wistful tone, extolling the virtues of living in the moment, given that’s all we ever “have”, and to perhaps enjoy it before it’s gone, without regret.
    Written by Roger, who had kids, he may or may not have intended for this song to be sung by Freddie. Freddie would’ve liked to have had kids himself and had a tendency to very much enjoy the children of close friend, confidant, (and ex-girlfriend) Mary Austin, and those of his bandmates, in all likelihood, making the line in the song, and its entire lyrics, both authentic and sad, given Freddie’s voice augmenting the song’s meaning far beyond the literal.

  • @duncanliath
    @duncanliath 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    Guess if you guys had knowledge of the background to this song, you would not have gone into reacting to it expecting a rock song and judging it accordingly. It was never intended to be a rock song. It was a sombre emotional song because it was Freddie’s way of saying goodbye to his fans before his impending death. Hence, the sombre expressions of the band throughout as they played the song, the black and white footage (to hide from fans how close to death Freddie was during filming), and his last message to fans - the whispered ‘I love you’ directly to the camera at the end

    I agree with others who have left comments, it's actually written by and about Rogers life, but with Freddie dying in front of your eyes in this video, let's see how you would do just months away from dying? The song took on new meaning, it was for Roger solo career or possibly Queen, don't forget you have four very different people who all write and have solo careers running alongside Queen, as far as sounding like R&B maybe Queen isn't one you should be listening too they have 15 albums with totally different music, they didn't stick with one sound probably because they're highly intelligent people all with degrees from University and even a Doctor and Sir which is Dr Sir Brian May Astrophysicist, degrees for the others in Biology, Graphic Design and Electronics see if you can build your own Guitar, Amps etc and continue selling records, you might not like the record but maybe you should look up the context of the songs you've not heard as they'll be quite literally hundreds you've not heard

    There’s a lot to be said, if you’re doing reaction videos, not to research beforehand so you’re approaching the video with a completely open mind. However, doing so - on this occasion, at least - left you guys appearing ignorant/insensitive, totally misunderstanding of the purpose of the video and why it is so beloved by fans of Freddie Mercury who, unlike you guys, understood and were emotionally affected by the message conveyed in this song as he said his last farewell to the world

  • @janicejohnson6372

      I'm a huge Queen Fan, I've interviewed Peter Freestone (Freddies PA) and the bands roadie Peter 'Ratty' Hince. These gents are not trying to be disrespectful, they dont know the full background regarding this song. It's a first time reaction and they clearly are not fully aware of the circumstances during the filming of this video. They are reacting to their thoughts on the song and if they didn't like it that's their perogative.

    All My Children, The Young and the Restless. I watched those for years. I used to ditch school if something really good was going to happen like a wedding or something bizarre happening to someone. The problem was that it was supposed to happen on Monday but never actually happened until Thursday or Friday so I had to ditch for several days in a row...Soaps are addictive. Roger wrote this song about watching his kids grow up but because of when he wrote it, I feel that he was thinking back on his life with the band, it was obvious by this time that Freddie was running out of time and Queen would be no more. So I think there is a lot of that in this song as well. Freddie is saying his goodbye in the end of this song when he whispers "I still love you." At this time in Freddie's life he had 7 cats and the fabric on that vest was specially made for him and the cats pictured on it are his own. Freddie loved cats! I love this song but it also sort of makes me sad. This was Freddie's last video and he was so sick by this time that he could hardly stand and one of his feet had already rotted half away so stanging was incredibly difficult. His movements reflect how weak he was and he is wearing several layers of clothing in this video as well as a lot of makeup in order for him not to appear as thin as he was and to hide the sarcoma lesions on his face.

    This is the first of your reactions that left a sour taste in my mouth. I get that it wasn't a favourite of yours (you are entitled to that opinion, of course,) but didn't you listen to the words, let alone see that this was a dead man singing? Freddie couldn't "rock" at this point - he could barely stand. The fact that this was a video farewell to the fans is what makes the song itself so poignant. And that riff about "Baywatch" was just uncomfortable to listen to. Sorry, guys. It's a thumbs down from me.

This is an emotional beautiful song and nothing freddie did was fake. he was just very ill and this was his goodbye. so corny is a really bad word, but I get it. you did not like or get this song. it is a top 20 queen song as it reflects a lot of the genious of Queen and this urge of feelings. nostalgic, significant. maybe each of you will give it another chance sometime. but I rescpect the fact no one can like each and every song by any artist. every artist will have some songs some would not like.

    Freddie was very close to death here, his foot had a wound that wouldn't heal and he was in a great deal of pain, so of course he's not going to be dancing and jumping around like he used to, he could hardly stand as it was. It took him all his strength and determination to be there, but he loved Queen fans and this was his way of saying goodbye to us. I know you're entitled to your opinion, but I'm sorry I found your reaction to this upsetting.
