Queen's only intentional Christmas song, which due to one of the rare failings in Queen's timing was released the same year as Band-Aid's charity song "Do They Know It's Christmas" and therefore suffered as a result (which is why it was never a hit).
I wish this song could have a re-birth...it deserves to be heard at the holidays. With the pandemic, it seems earlily appropriate - as though written for the hard year(s) we have come to know. Still seems fresh to me in the catalog of rock holiday tunes!
This is so beautiful christmassong, I was so suprist the first time I heard it. I had heard that this song never became popular or something at all. I heard it and think wow this is so beautiful. I dont like christmas at all, but when I hear this song even I can get a little x-mas feeling, and relax. Thank you for your react……and thanks to Queen for this wonderful song whos means alout to me 👑♥️
For me, this is one of Queen's most moving songs. Freddie's voice just soars. The band came together to make something special for us. Great reaction, thanks.
I first heard it last Christmas. I could be wrong but I had the impression Freddie had recorded it but it had never been produced/released until a year ago. The lyrics are so perfect for what we’ve been through. I just love it!
It may not have been released in most countries, but it was released in the UK for Christmas 1984, the same year as Band Aid and Wham's "Last Christmas" (I was 10 at the time). I recall that this song made the Top 10 too :)
Love your channel John!! Awwww a Christmas song by Queen, thank God. 😁 Now do a Winter’s Tale (not a Xmas song) but comes pretty close! Freddie wrote this while looking out his window in Montreux! Beautiful lyrics describing a blissful beautiful wonderland (Freddie was very ill at this time).❄️❄️ 🥺🌲🌲
This is my favorite Christmas song. I also love Mary's Boy Child by Angelina Jordan, an incredibly sweet performance by a great singer and very fine human being. If you feel inclined to pray for anyone during this festive season, please pray for Brian May. He has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and is not having an easy time of it. Thank you for your reaction.
Frohe Weihnachten, John! A Winters Tale.... Freddie schrieb diesen Song im Bewusstsein nicht mehr lange zu leben. Und trotzdem singt er über die Schönheit des Lebens...
One of the documentaries I watched said Freddie really loved Christmas & before he passed he arranged (from his estate) for the people he was closest to be sent something every Christmas, still to this day.
What do I always say Johnny... You already know this, inafoq = {I'm not a fan of queen}, However, I truly am a fan of John Gibson Music, & your Channels!! I dig your spirit for Christmas, & your enthusiasm to engage us. I love it. I also liked your end singing with your hands raised. I think that was the best part~ 😃👍🎄⛄❄🌲🎁👍 Merry, Merry Christmas!!! ✝ 💘
“Thank God you’ve finally heard it”…haha! Great Reaction as always to a Great Song! It really gets you into the Christmas spirit. There are million’s of Xmas songs so have you heard Paul McCartney “Pipes of Peace” or Frankie goes to Hollywood “The Power of Love”. It’d be nice to hear your thoughts to one of them. Best Wishes & of course Merry Christmas JG 🤴🏻⚡️🎼
Some good choices! Also recommend: Greg Lake - "I Believe In Father Christmas" Boney M - "Mary's Boy Child" Jona Lewie - "Stop The Cavalry" Chris de Burgh - "A Spaceman Came Travelling" Slade - "Merry Christmas Everybody" Wizzard feat. Roy Wood - "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday Mud - "Lonely This Christmas" Mike Oldfield - "In Dulce Jubilo" (this is an instrumental tune only, but amazing and very traditionally seasonal since the 70s)
Great to hear this beautiful Christmas song from freddy really loved this ♥️ 👍 freddy is just fantastic ☀️ 👍 thanks John this truly was amazing song by freddy legend and sad loss to the music 🎶 world beautiful 🎶 godbless and best wishes to you John from 🇬🇧 ♥️ barb 👍 merry Christmas 🤶 🎄 🎁🤶👍❄️🎉🙏👍
Back in time the song was never released on an album. So I had to find the single-vinyl of this song ... took me some time (no internet back then!!), but I found it. It was the most expensive vinyl-record-single I ever bought! I paid like 50 bucks for it - and as I was a school-boy: man, that was expensive like hell!!! My whole pocket money was 20 a month ... but it was worth every cent!!! :-) Gladly/Sadly i am "old" now and have money! So it's not the most expensive record anymore ... Actually my love for vinyl turned into a very expensive hobby! ^^+gg
Danke für das schöne Video, lieber John. Schön, wieder etwas zu sehen, die letzte Zeit hast du dich leider etwas rar gemacht. Ich würde mir gern ein Reaction Post von dir zu „Queens-Scandal“ wünschen. Dir und deinen Liebsten ein tolles Weihnachtsfest, Zeit für Ruhe und Besinnung und viel guter Musik. Marco
Vielen Dank Marco. Ja das stimmt, die Zeit vor Weihnachten war etwas stressig. Ich schaue mir "Queens Scandal" sehr gerne an. Ich wünsche dir ein frohes Fest!
I love it too, and the words are so appropriate for the days we are in at the moment. My favourite Christmas song ever and a great video. Happy Christmas to you.
John I dare u to play the Prophet Song from a night at the opera! Ur ears Will never be the same! Enjoy the ride
I will check it out! Merry Christmas.
