@@billybeverweyk6494 This sounds way more loose and airy compared to “Cool Cat” (A song in which he is definitely using head voice). I’m sure that he’s using more falsetto here than head voice.
In these days of darkness, you are shining Freddie to warm my heart and not let me down. Queen is always shining but you, my lovely Freddie, you are the brightest star in my sky.
@@VLP465 Yes it's a Queen song,on their album But it's a colab between John and Freddie I don't think the other two were involved I know they weren't for cool cat
"Pain Is So Close to Pleasure" began as a riff idea by May. Deacon and Mercury subsequently turned that into a Motown style song, with Deacon playing rhythm guitar. A slightly remixed and reworked version was released as a single in 1986, reaching No. 26 on the Dutch charts. The title also appears as a line in "One Year of Love". This would be one of the last times Mercury would sing a Queen song completely in falsetto.
John composed this Freddie took the line from John's song then wrote the rest I love him singing in falsetto and it fits so well Love the song and them working together
Brian said it had a “Motown” vibe & growing up 60 miles north of Motown (Detroit) in Flint, Michigan in the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s & this reminds me so much of the mighty Temptations. Freddie could sing a phone book & make it a hit. Great song. 🖤🎶🖤
Another of Queens great songs , underated and never given the air time it deserves . Brilliant baselines from John and that great falsetto voice from Freddie .
@@ZarasthuraGyattt even if hot space wasnt rock, the quality of the lyrics wasnt good enough. yeah have a few good songs, under pressure its a masterpiece, back chat and put out the fire are good, but the entire album its a little low for the queen standars.
He is a musical legend, there is not a thing that he couldn’t sing! So many years have come and gone, but our dear Freddie you live on through all of us. We love you 💖
Love this song and was not expecting the falsetto voice of Freddie. This just shows again how versatile he was. Freddie was (and still is) unmatched when it came to his vocal abilities. IMO. :) I read a comment from someone yesterday saying Freddie didn't have the same level of voice strength as he did in the 70's. WRONG! I pointed her to many performances of his in the 80's especially the concerts in at Wembley and in Budapest and this is another one i can send her. :)
Close your eyes and if you never heard of the song before and knew Queen recorded it, you'd swear this was a Motown group. My four musical geniuses...can't get enough of Queen.
God, that musical part from 1:55 to 2:21 and then the lyrics “When your plans go wrong, you turn out the light….but inside of your mind, you have to put a fight” 😔🥺😢 That part of this brilliant song I have always loved, and I hadn’t listened to the song for ages. Today, and after a very difficult 2020 and 2021, that particular part hit me right in the 💜. Brilliant song…and one which really struck me emotionally 🖤💜🖤
I've always liked this song a lot, used to be one of my favourite from Queen, but after the breakup of the relations that lasted for several years this song shines with the different colours to me now. If back then it felt a bit melancholic and i knew what it was all about. Now i feel what this song is all about and realise how Freddie felt himself when composing this. Need no listen to something positive, otherwise i'll end up listening to Joy Division and would feel what poor Ian felt, and that woulndn't end up good for me. Take care of your beloved ones, guys and gals, don't lose them
Nueva canción para mi, y por lo regular me sorprenden cada vez, son bonitas, significativas, con mensaje positivo, wow la voz de Freddie👑 💋sin duda la mejor banda... adorados.
I saw the BEST EVER a few times too,I'm 60 and the show was fantastic from start to finish,so dramatic it was unreal,the Best was the 1977 tour with a Gigantic Crown and WAM they came out to thunder and fast version of rock you the Crown was a lighting ring rising up.
Oh,Oh,pain is so close to pleasure .Let the sweetness of LOVE wipe the tears from Your face.For better,for worse so, let's make the best of the rest of our years ,,Love is " I LOVE FREDDIE 👑❤️🌹
Esta es una de mis canciones favoritas de Queen sobretodo por el gran bajo que toca John y por la voz de Freddie, es una lastima para mí que no haya sido tan conocida en su momento.
That’s just my opinion, but I think this song is one of Queen’s best songs because the song has a strong message.... my 2 Fav parts are: 2:04 and 3:36 ..... I love you Freddie , Michael Jackson and Prince.... R.I.P.
Freddie or guitar? I think it was john playing guitar on this He and Roger weren't keen in these type of songs John plays guitar on their other sing aswell

Blues, rock, pop, opera...Freddie could sing ANYTHING!
Soul
thrash,
Pretty much anything to be honest, would be hard to write all of them!!
Punk
@@MikeIcyBlizzard
El punk déjaselo al Ferocius 🤣
I can't get over his smooth falsetto, omfg it's beautiful
Queen goes Bee Gees. Beautiful!
That's head voice technique, falsetto with more power..

Es genial este tema falsete de freddie😊👌. Pseudo Prince
In these days of darkness, you are shining Freddie to warm my heart and not let me down. Queen is always shining but you, my lovely Freddie, you are the brightest star in my sky.
Are you depressed?
Robbie Williams
Aww that’s so sweet
So beautiful 🥰❤
Why this comment remind me of hey jude by the beatles
I find it quite sweet that John Deacon wrote this with Freddie Mercury, like they had a nice friendship before Freddie died.
This was a good few years before he died.
Apparently, John and Freddie were very close offstage. That’s a key part of why John decided to stop playing.
@@Shred_The_Weapon Freddie's death *really* hit John hard.
John Lennon? What are you doing here?
They also co-wrote friends will be friends
His falsetto is so amazing!!!!
his falsetto is the best
Luuk van de Griendt Awesome falsetto indeed!
@@pixiesolowing Second best, Roger's is the best.
@@NikolaTodorovic No, it's Freddie's
@@NikolaTodorovic Roger is 2nd
Freddie's falsetto was amazing. What an astonishing singer.. He's truly missed.
*MR DEACON DOES IT AGAIN*
Freddie Mercury*
@@MikeIcyBlizzard And Deacon*
The music is John's but it's a collab with Freddie who wrote most of the lyrics
#Queen
@@VLP465
Yes it's a Queen song,on their album
But it's a colab between John and Freddie
I don't think the other two were involved
I know they weren't for cool cat
no pain only pleasure what a great song , so underrated this and cool cat .
Agnes Casey i agree
Agnes Casey true. i love cool cat
Agnes Casey Cool cat is a really good song!
Cool Cat 😍😍♥
And like fifty other :)
I love john deacon so freaking much his basslines are out of this world
Very underrated bass player.
True True True. So tasteful

Freddie is phenomenal but gotta absolutely give credit to John Deacon as well for this song. So much talent!!
The bass is completely BEAUTIFUL !!!!
And once again another off-the-scale Queen song with some strange magic to it...
A Kind Of Magic! ;)
Just a...A Night at the Opera.
Not many male singers can sing a full song in falsetto and get away with it like in this fabulous track. Love it
An entire song in falsetto and another one (One Year of Love) with a sax solo. John was a real eclectic author!
John composed this
Freddie took the line from John's song then wrote the rest
I love him singing in falsetto and it fits so well
Love the song and them working together
Thank you deaky
*and Freddie
@cristal star mochi yes

This is a Mercury/Deacon composition.

Mereacon
@@aleksanderjonca1062 deacury sounds much better

Greatest band to ever exist. Nobody can tell me otherwise.
Wow, the Freddie's voice is so beauty and relaxing, definitely the best singer ever.
This is amazing... Since I love Freddie's strong, passionate singing style, I couldn't have guessed that his falsetto was, in fact, magnificent.
You ought to listen the 70s stuff, he uses falsetto a lot. Especially I recommend "Nevermore."
@@jamesmathai1138 Nevermore is beautiful!
Or cool cat
What an amazing song!!! First I heard this song, I was not sure that was Freddie singing.
His voice is soooo sweet.
That's hapens to me
I can’t quite explain but... this song is severely underrated, it’s GREAT!
John Deacon wrote Cool Cat and Pain Is So Close To Pleasure along with Freddie, both songs are sung with Freddie's falsetto
Queen, the best Band of all times!
Another of Queens great songs , underated and never given the air time it deserves . Brilliant baselines from John and that great falsetto voice from Freddie .
Love Freddie’s falsetto voice!! He was unbelievably talented!!
The bridge in this song is just incredible. What an amazing composition, and IMO an underrated song that could have definitely charted.
Sounds like something that comes from the Hot Space album.
TheWeldingGamer exactly
In a good way, though. Hot space may be their “worst” album, but it’s still pretty damn good!
@@princesscaty6251 "worst" because too disco for "rocker"
@@ZarasthuraGyattt even if hot space wasnt rock, the quality of the lyrics wasnt good enough. yeah have a few good songs, under pressure its a masterpiece, back chat and put out the fire are good, but the entire album its a little low for the queen standars.
Yeah it's like Cool Cat with Freddie' s beautiful falsetto.
It's a Kind of Magic is a totally MASTERPIECE!!!
It sure is. Every single song is epic on the album. One Year of Love is my favourite Queen song
He is a musical legend, there is not a thing that he couldn’t sing! So many years have come and gone, but our dear Freddie you live on through all of us. We love you 💖
"Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all your life" This song is incredible ❤❤❤
Absolutely brilliant!!! John and Freddie wrote amazing songs together...... just pure gold! ❤️
I’m in love with Freddie’s voice.
One of the most relaxing Queen songs
This song helps me so much mentally, this is truly my favourite song to listen anywhere.
What a lovely thing !!! That song 😊😊😊 Freddie's falsettos are the life ❤❤❤ And Deaky's bass💫💫💫
Every time I listen to Queen’s song, I’m attracted to John's bass
Great song that shows Freddie's versatility in his voice. He could sing in any genre. John was a good composer along with Freddie.
Freddie and Deacon are very talented. Their musics are so creative and enjoyable. I love so much🥰❤️❤️
I miss them
Such a wonderful song! Freddie's voice it's so amazing!
You are right
Just legend and perfect . Everything..
One of most underrated top 100 queen song
I feel Queen is an abbreviation of pure satisfaction, but it is, indeed, pure satisfaction.
Love the sound that John and Freddie wrote and created
The best singer and band ever!

The most relaxing song of the all time ;)
John and Fred
Love all John Deacon's songs!!
“Pain is so close to pleasure” Is a lyric in “one year of love,” Written by John Deacon.
10000000000 times I've listened to this song and never get tired of... Queen is in my soul.
Underrated Queen track imo
Absolutely masterpiece
I LOVE BASSLINE JOHN AND FREDDIE DUET IDEAAAAAL:D
This is one hell of a KILLER bassline
i wish there will be a live performance of this. *SO GROOVY*
I had this album (A KInd of Magic) and this was my fave song from it.
shmuli9 My 3rd favorite behind friends will be friends and one vision
Me too. I kept forwarding and then rewind :)
It's my fave too but I love the whole album!
Who Wants To Live Forever, Princess Of The Universe? Those two songs are the best.
One year of love is my all time favourite song by Queen. Why it was never released I will never know.
I love all the songs on this album regardless
This song of "Queen" sounds very great.
I don't know why people hate this song. I respect your opinions, but I love it!
another underrated song but one of the best
Close your eyes and if you never heard of the song before and knew Queen recorded it, you'd swear this was a Motown group. My four musical geniuses...can't get enough of Queen.

Thank you deaky... The quiet man does it again. Love this song.
ya pero es que las canciones que co escribieron freddie y john son tan bonitas y tan adorables ay amo :(
It's unreal how a piece of music can take you back in time...and you are wondering: was that real or just imagined???
this song...this falsettos never let me down
I wish there were more songs of Freddie singing in falsetto
Um cantor de Rock atingir estes lindos falsetes. Só poderia ser simplesmente ele o REI Freddie Mercury...saudades eternas
Vdd kkk
It sounds like one of those 80's songs I would hear late at night in the grocery store.
Kicking ass song, I adore it!! Freddie, John, you geniuses!
Evrery Queen Songs just so Good......👍👍👍
That bass!
La voz de Mercury es impresionante, de otra galaxia. Incomparables.

4 musicisti geniali ed eclettici. MAGNIFICI! ❤
To sing an entire song falsetto is stunning
"No one ever told me that love would hurt so much, and pain is so close to pleasure"
The title appears as a line in Deacons other song, "One year of love"
Nueva canción para mi, y por lo regular me sorprenden cada vez, son bonitas, significativas, con mensaje positivo, wow la voz de Freddie👑 💋sin duda la mejor banda... adorados.
A very Tamla Motown influenced song. Very good. Queen were a very versatile band who wrote songs in different musical styles.
OPUS MASTER SONG!!..Queen Forever!!
I saw the BEST EVER a few times too,I'm 60 and the show was fantastic from start to finish,so dramatic it was unreal,the Best was the 1977 tour with a Gigantic Crown and WAM they came out to thunder and fast version of rock you the Crown was a lighting ring rising up.

Sin duda
1. The doors
2. Pink floyd
3. Beatles
4. Led zeppelin
Then the rest.
@@VeganFlatEarth yo creo que sinceramente primero pueden ser the beatles pero despues queen indiscutiblemente y despues todos los demas para abajo
so catchy so true
They were all good friends.
Just so good
Queen is best for anytimes ❤🌷
My favorite song
I miss Freddie's awesome voice so much~
A kind of magic really is under appreciated albumI know saying that in a queen song is not original but it really is
I can’t be the only one who thinks this and Time Is On My Side have the same groovy reflective mood to it
Only Freddie can set big Sunflowers in my Heart.🌻🥰
Adoro este falsete, de Freddie y el sonido de ese bajo es genial.!! Genios!! 👏👏👏👏👏❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰😷😷
Es genial está canción grande Queen por siempre 💙💜❤️🌹🙌🌷
Conocí esto cuando estuve apunto de terminar con el amor de mi vida. Y pues escucharlo me sube los animos ! :,)
