Freddie and Brian did this as an encore later that night at Live Aid. You should check that live performance out. It’s almost as if it was written specifically for Live Aid, it was released in 1984 a year before Live Aid.
This song holds the same truths now as it did back then as the title suggests. Is This The World We Created? Yes it is and we as humans are destroying it.
I can’t even imagine what Freddie would think about how screwed up the world is now. So much worse than when he was alive even with all the troubles back then. This song always makes me cry. Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne-waiting for life to go by. So true.
Thanks for all your reactions, you’ve introduced me to so many Queen songs I didn’t know. I always appreciate your reviews and enthusiasm 😁and always love Queen’s live performances, but I’d love to see you react to the official videos of Somebody to Love and Another One Bites The Dust.
This was there last song they sung on Live Aid . They came back to do it, because it fit the bill so well.💕 Your such a great reactor David. Your just amazing!
Per Brian, as Queen were recording The Works album, they had a few minutes left with no song. So Brian & Freddie got together to write this and fill the record. It turned out quite beautiful. Queen were so creative whenever they united like this. It's very lovely and very thoughtful. Your analysis of it sounds spot on to me. Thank you for your reaction.
Great reaction to a very powerful song!! Was at Live Aid and still remember when Freddie and Brian performed this and it was at moment I knew I loved Queen. That live performance is well worth a listen.
Thank you David glad your getting back to your old self beautiful reaction to a beautiful song I remember they sang this at the end of Live Aid and your right the world is fragile take care x x
This is my personal "İmagine"...Such a heartfelt song about what the humankind does to the world... It irritates me to the bone to know that there are so many Queen songs criminally underrated. 😬😤😡💔 This song came after Freddie and Brian were watching the news on TV about the poverty and hunger in Africa. It hadn't to do anything with the Live Aid concert but the lyrics fitted like a glove for the occasion... İf I'm not mistaken, It was Freddie and Brian who closed the show with this encore. You should have listened to the live version David. It will blown your mind, I tell you. Watch the Live Aid version ASAP!
Brian May and Freddie Mercury cowrote a simple yet beautiful song that still holds so much truth in 2023. I don't believe that there is a wrong way to interpret a Queen song. I am so glad that you feel better
Your right about it be fantasy in the 70's cuz that was just the time/era they began. The times changed and the men/band grew up. Everything was spot on.
A beautiful song that Freddie referred to as a "Limpid Ballad." They needed a little song for the end or an album so Freddie and Brian just sat down and wrote this one in a couple of hours. They had been talking about all the hardship going on in Africa so this song was created out of that. As it turned out, it fit perfectly for Live Aid so they were asked to do this song as part of the grand finale at that concert.
Yet another absolute diamond of a song- always been my favourite duet song, so pure, so deeply heartfelt. Thanks David, hoping things improve for you very very soon, thinking of you 😀
I've always wished they had tacked this on to the end of their 20 minute Live Aid performance, so many people miss out on this beautiful song because it was hours later. It really fit the occasion so perfectly.
David, glad you are finally feeling better! Have a listen to "I Can't Live Without You" from the Innuendo album. It features Freddie, Roger and Brian each singing a verse.
This song was written for all those suffering of stavation in Africa. It was written before live-aid was even thought of,so Bob Geldoff had Freddy and Brian come on at the end of live aid to sing it. Perfect ending.
Check out the live version Freddie and Brian did at the end of live aid. Think you'll enjoy the version just as much. Arrangements are slightly different ,as well
Glad you’re feeling a little better!! Love this song .. seems it was written for Live Aid but it’s far from it!! Kinda filler for the album. Beautiful nonetheless!! 🌎🌿🕊✌️
He had nearly perfect control of his movements. Near perfect pitch. He was analyzed and they fund he had sub-harmonics in his vibrato. Very unique. A fast vibrato. Every single note he sang had meaning. He knew exactly how to make a change to a note or phrase to make it affect the listener. He knew how to pull on your emotions. He was a master class . He would have a great great actor. Can you imagine him in a movie? I can. he had such flair and pinache A peacock darling, hahaha
Freddy sure knew how to write songs that had meaning. Although there were a few he admitted he composed that were just nonsense that he said he wrote whilst taking a bath. Such as parts of Bohemian Rhapsody. haha Crazy little thing called Love he said he was taking a bubble bath and sat there with his acoustic guitar and the words just came to him. Freddy, such an interesting influential man. Iconic and legendary. He was a literal universal force. Somebody was interviewing him one time and asked him if he could give himself a label what would it be. He immediately said " I am a peacock darling" hahha true enough He didn't jusy run around the stage , he strutted. A master performer This particular song he said, he had no idea or specific reason for it, other than just thinking of the condition of the world and how we have treated it and each other. But it wasn't for any particular purpose

Such a powerful message... and Freddie delivers as always! phew, this gets to my soul. ❤
Always missed...Freddie Mercury 😔
A masterpiece of a song! Just him with Brian on guitar, No bass, no drums and it's so powerful!
Freddie and Brian did this as an encore later that night at Live Aid. You should check that live performance out. It’s almost as if it was written specifically for Live Aid, it was released in 1984 a year before Live Aid.
I was going to write the same thing 😊
Its here ua-cam.com/video/riwDo7_GxjM/v-deo.html
Was going to say that. Wonder if David will do a reaction to it
What a masterpiece!!! Freddie Mercury is the only one who could deliver such an intense piece with such passion. Pure emotion that grabs my heart.❤
This song holds the same truths now as it did back then as the title suggests. Is This The World We Created? Yes it is and we as humans are destroying it.
Queen “back chat “ live 1982” in Milton Keynes 🔥🔥🔥thanks boss
I can’t even imagine what Freddie would think about how screwed up the world is now. So much worse than when he was alive even with all the troubles back then. This song always makes me cry. Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne-waiting for life to go by. So true.
This song is absolutely stunning ❤❤❤❤

Love this song! This is the only song that Freddie and Brian actually sat down and wrote together
I always love your reactions David and the attention you pay to details…all Freddie’s stunning details!

No wrong way to interpret a Queen song. Challenge accepted. Death on two legs is about a pleasant day in the countryside going fox hunting.😎
Lvvvvvv your reaction and yayyyyyyyyyyyyy your back 😊
Hey David hope you’re feeling better soon x great to have another brilliant Queen reaction ❤
They have had first-hand experience how to live with little money and what it felt like to be vulnerable.
Good to see you my friend, I'm glad you're somewhat better:) praying for you always🙏

As always a great reaction David. You would love the live video of Brian and Freddie doing this wonderful song. Short but beautiful.
