- Lyrics for Queen, MY MELANCHOLY BLUES.
Another party is over
And I'm left cold sober
Baby left me for somebody new
I don't wanna talk about it
Want to forget about it
Wanna be intoxicated with that special brew
So come and get me
Let me
Get in that sinking feeling
That says my heart is on an all time low, so
Don't expect me
To behave perfectly
And wear that sunny smile
My guess is I'm in for a cloudy and overcast
Don't try and stop me
'Cause I'm heading for that stormy weather soon
I'm causing a mild sensation
With this new occupation
I'm permanently glued
To this extraordinary mood, so now move over
And let me take over
With my melancholy blues
I'm causing a mild sensation
With this new occupation
I'm in the news
I'm just getting used to my new exposure
Come into my enclosure
And meet my melancholy blues

So diverse, this is what is so special about Queen. Ever changing
Each time I hear this song, I feel as if I've been transported to the 40's and a smoky dive bar in the wee small hours....bliss
Christine Irving Yes! Just like Seaside Rendezvous makes me feel like I’m back in the 20’s 🤗
Absolutely brilliantly said. Freddie, John, and Roger. Little jazz trio
Cigarette in one hand, a glass of single malt Scotch in the other.
Yes! With men in fedoras and vests looking so dapper! Freddie can take us anywhere in the world-
Whilst Freddies style of playing would give any classical pianist a heart attack, for me Freddie only/mainly on piano were the most memorable from Queen live
Lol I bet he had his knuckles whacked quite a few times.
Allan Riach - absolutely right. I’ve played classical piano since I was 7. I used to do it by the book throughout 3 hours daily training. It’s amazing how Freddie moves his fingers and positions his hands in the worst and wrong way and yet he delivers true emotion and becomes part of the instrument. Mozart also played in the wrong way even upside down. Well, they both are geniuses, I’m not 😊
First time seeing John Deacon seated for his Bass accompaniment. Beautiful ambiance, Roger's cool drumming too. It seemed we were in a small club being entertained. Fantastic music. Thanks.
Wonderful atmosphere!
Beautiful song.
Love this song....Freddie was so musically talented!!
One of my very favorites!! What an extraordinary piano player! Freddie- instrumentals sing for him- breathe his passions! Thank you Hap! Yes- Freddie is behind the piano- but yes it’s symbolic- our Freddie!♥️
This song is one of my favorites. Freddie takes you back to a time where Jazz and the Blues were really strong in this country. The 40's or 50's perhaps. Love the vibe I get from this song. Great reaction Hap. Thank you again for another song from the Rock Gods QUEEN. Much love to ya my brother. Take care. QUEEN BEE.
Love this song, it is so Freddie...
Grossartig, extraordinary, I have no words
Queen and above all Freddie always knew how to leave people speechless...GENIUSES
I like this version but this is one of the rare occasions where I much prefer the studio version with more refined, polished, subtle, sensual vocals and piano.
I agree wholeheartedly.
When nobody's home and I've had a few drinks (or anywhere alone in public) I like to belt this out in my kitchen and sing along. Amazing feels.
Love this song!!!!!!!
GOOD MORNING! NO QUESTION FREDDIE AND HIS PIANO WERE ONE IN THE WAY THE PIANO CAME TO LIFE AT THE COMAND OF FREDDIE TOUCHING THE KEYS. MELANCHOLY BLUES GREAT SONG TO CHILL TO. AS ALWAYS YOU NEVER MISS A BEAT, WITH YOUR REACTIONS!. WISHING YOU NO MELANCHOLY TODAY, ONLY A HAPPY AND BLESSED ONE, TAKE CARE!
Everyone who knew Freddie said that he was a brilliant pianist, very rhythmic but sensual. Awesome fingers. But Freddie himself did not think so, and was very critical of his playing and played less and less at concerts on the piano.
That is very true, thats why he got Mike Moran to help out now and then
Spike Edney played piano with them on tour for years. Mike Moran was a brilliant studio pianist. He's on the recent release Time Waits for Nobody.
I loved your "Fredit" here 😊😉
Yes, I agree with you saying Freddie+Piano! Loved the whole sound of him playing the piano. So lovely!! 🎹🎶🎵
Thanks for appreciating 👑💜 yes the two should go together.

I absolutely love Freddie and him singing and piano playing in this song! Freddie 4ever 🤴🏻🥰🎤🎼🎶🎹🥰❤️‼️
Please check out Don't try so hard, Freddie's vocals are amazing and Rock it!
"Don't try so hard" is really beautiful, indeed. From the Innuendo album 1991. His vocals are so light and bright, almost transcendent.
This is a GREAT song! Everything Freddie plays on the piano matches each song perfectly, and the same can be said for Roger's, John's, and Brian's parts and solos.
The gorgeous piano stylings of one Freddie Mercury :) Not to mention the also-gorgeous vocal.
Sometimes I forget to listen to Freddie’s piano playing- I hear it but I am glued to his fabulous voice... you picked up on it right away. Hap you keep saying exactly what you do because you are making us all I believe to enjoy Queen even more than we already do.. over 40 years and Queen whacks me in the heart with each song and performance they gave those wonderful years.. please keep on your reactions- you are fantastic!💛
Brian & Roger always talked about Freddie’s “attacking” piano style as well as his perfect enunciation of the words. Freddie didn’t think he played piano very well
yes he also didn't like to be tied to the piano so much time of the live show, he wanted more acting out and strutting up and down... So they hired Spike Edney as additional live keyboarder in the 80's. He is still playing keys with Brian & Roger these days, as far as I know.
I believe he only achieved grade 3
Stunning ❤❤❤👏👏👏Freddie
What you noticed as "someone fiddling in the dark" might be their so-called "The Doll House" a kind of space in the corner of the stage hidden by black courtains which they used to "hide" during the show so they could freshen up or change clothes. Maybe Brian did use it as a break while Freddie played the piano here..I heard someone who knew Freddie from college days described his piano playing as unique, Mozart-like..Maybe the studio version would give you more clarity, softnes and range of beautiful Freddie's vocals.
I love this song with Freddie on the piano, that wonderful to see, him and the piano 🎤🎹 and your reaction wonderful Hap 👑
Freddie is very diverse in his singing I can definitely hear freddie voice in tht song his tops his Freddie wht can we say awesome ❤
I can imagine sitting in a smoke-filled bar in the 30s 40s listening to this music and crying about it last long. Fred it was so diverse I love music from every genre nothing he does really surprises me. I don’t think rent those out there who think he always just plays chords on the piano but in fact it was really a good pianist. Like another person wrote it was not a concert pianist are very capable and unique pianist. The thing is when he tried another genre from rock city really capture that weather and was millionaire waltz or melon Carly blues you could hear the walls you can feel the blues. Just a great great talent.
Thanks brother, an absolute gem indeed. Masterclass again by the entire Queen team in musicianship & craftsmen of note. You’re a star by the way
I love this song!! Thank you!!
I just went back in time! Love the Bluesy Jazzy! Thanks
Freddie said in a number of interviews that he composed his songs from the piano, so it makes sense that you associate him with a piano. And this is just my .02, but people often say that Freddie didn't think much of his piano skills, but I've never heard Freddie say that ... but he did say he felt more restricted on stage behind the piano, which given his performance energy, makes way more sense.
I love this one. A torch song style of the smoky piano bars.
Love this, thanks Hap! I have no words, the guys are so diverse and surprising as always. ❤❤
Love it!! It's so Liza Minnelli I would not have been able to tell when I was in elementary school in the 70s but by the 1980s I could have definitely been able to tell Freddie Mercury was singing this and recognizably so by the sound of his freaking Class A Plus voice and piano playing. I probably wouldn't have recognized it until I was about 17-18 so that's 1985 or so. that was when I was getting ready to start my senior year and I know in high school I would have been able to tell that with him and the same with Elton John.
I think you did a reaction to Queens free concert in Hyde Park either 1974 or 1975 and Freddy played the piano and sang To "You Take My Breath Away".. goodness gracious, that was extraordinary and out of this world!! 💞💞💞 I like the live version better than the studio version. The live version is a beautiful ballad and the studio version differs only in the beginning where there's this big harmonic start and it makes the song sound really sad and it sets the tone for the rest of the song which is otherwise beautiful. That's why I prefer the live version better even though Queens harmonies are great. It was just not good for the song.. it's their music but just my opinion and I think it would have sounded better without the harmonies because Harmony sounded so sad.
Mike Moran & Freddy worked well together and. TOO WELL because they were both perfectionists! they were in the studio one day and Freddy looked over at Mike Moran and told him that he's the only person that was more of a perfectionist than him! 😂😂😂 true!
if by chance you have NOT heard that concert song from " Take My Breath Away " live in Hyde Park 1975, you should really listen to it but I think you did it a while back. if you have it's been awhile but gosh it's freaking beautiful song. the song at lifepark was a soft piano but a perfect vocal sound and I've never heard anybody sing better than that in my life 52 years!!
Freddies piano playing is so unorthodox, not typical for a piano player but then Freddie was not a typical musical genius.
you're exactly right and he learned how to play by ear and he could listen to something on the radio and go play it on the piano when he was only about nine or 10 years old. he did that at his aunt's house in India when he was at boarding school when he went to visit her and she told his parents they needed to get him piano lessons because he was spectacular but he needed to learn how to read music. Freddie was an extraordinary piano player and one of the best but he didn't play the way you're supposed to with your wrists up in the air,and he always kept his wrists down. it supposed to be like that for compose your posture and also to help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome but whatever a person is more comfortable with is what they should do
Finally! This is amazing. The studio version is also great 💕when you think he is a solid rocker there it comes that jazzy flare. He can do everything. By the way someone reliable stated that he learned piano from his mother
It is common for bands/artists to have individual solo time to give a break for others to change, dry off, refresh, etc.
This was just beautiful. The lyrics, piano work and the vocals were just amazing!! Freddie was so very gifted. 🌻🌻
I've never been so thrilled to have my pick lose in voting lol. Absolutely adore this performance. 💛
Hiya Sawyer!! Opps hehe that is the opposite effect for sure though 🎵

@@HAP3SPEAKZ Hey Hap. It definitely is haha, but it's hard to be disappointed when there's Queen involved! Freddie and the gang are great regardless 😁
Freddie always said the interpretation of their songs are up to the listener... this is one of my favorite songs where he does all of the vocals and it is definitely about a break up... 💔Freddie is singing his broken heart out in this song!!!❤️❤️❤️
Hey handsome where's the other guy gone love it we've finely got you back 😂I think if you could only hear the piano you would know it was Freddie it just sounds like his voice if that makes sense Brian was probably freshening up some where great reaction as always from ya Yorkshire Lass Denise ❤️😘👋XX
I always loved this song. Beautiful live rendition, I haven't heard it before.
Especially the studio version has this light jazz club feeling.
I think Angelina Jordan would do a brilliant cover version of it, that's the kind of style she likes.
Love, love, love this song. Absolutely stunning. This performance wasn’t one of the best, but I think it’s the only in film. My absolute favorite Detroit 77. Absolutely perfect, & Freddie asking if the crowd liked it is adorable. Somehow, it seems Freddie doesn’t think they like it.
Cue 1:02:00 mark

And FYI, this whole show is phenomenal. In particular it’s late, spread your wings, love of my life, somebody to love & liar.
Another of my favorite reactions, Hap. I love when Freddie plays the piano. He did that a lot more in the early days, so that era is my favorite. As for John's instrumental skills, in this tune John is using a Fender Precision Fretless bass guitar that he used on stage for this tune as well as 39. This instrument sounds similar to a double bass which Freddie wanted for this tune. Interesting! John is brilliant! I think he could learn to play anything. He learned to play piano for You're My Best Friend, for example.
Brian said Freddie was like a metronome on the piano...never missed on the tempo...occasionlly a wrong note, but never out of time. He must have had a very good ear. People who were at school with him in India said he only needed to hear song once and he could play it!
Mel' an call y - it means sad. There was a blues song popular in the 1930s called My Melancholy Baby!
You’re right, Brian May commented on Freddie’s very individual style
I haven't heard his commentary on this. But will do eventually.

@@HAP3SPEAKZ You can find Brian talking about it here -- ua-cam.com/video/v15oIktGJOo/v-deo.html -- part 3 of the mini-documentary about the making of the song Bohemian Rhapsody.
@@HAP3SPEAKZ Brian said a lot about Freddie's piano playing and composing skills in the documentary "Inside the Rhapsody". It's up on youtube.
Nice reaction, great song. Your comment on piano being loud, Roger commented that you would not want to try Freddie’s piano or mike when set in rehearsal before a concert, the volume would rip your head off.
Yeah the audio not the best on this - definitely check out the Studio album version - the audio is absolutely mind blowing
The audio is perfect this concert was recorded on a soundboard, the quality depends on the uploader they have to use flac or wav file otherwise the sound will be muffled.
@@queenremix1353 Yeah, especially the DJGreg Remaster lacks nothing compared to any official release. It's on my channel too.
@@logexpTommy Yep that Remastered voice from Greg sounds like an official release, it's amazing quality.
Can you guys link to where the audio is perfect? Would love to hear it!
freddie forever フレディー(≧▽≦)
The studio version of this there’s no guitar, so none in the live version & Brian takes a few minutes break (which the others get during his solo)
Freddie was a great piano player also...
Nice reaction.
I have some recommendations for songs from early albums, that not so many people reacts:
My fairy king,
Great king rat,
Nevermore
Also can you react to some song from collaboration with Adam Lambert?
I recommend Show must go on, Who wants to live forever, Somebody to love or Killer Queen.

Since you are reacting to early Queen, you should react to Doing All Right from their first album. Brian and Tim Staffel originally wrote the song for Smile. Queen rearranged it and it sounds very different.
Hap, miss you on Angelina. Too long time now since last reaction. Please make many.....hehe 🤗
You’re getting a workout in the pronunciation department.😊 This is one of the rare ones where I like the studio version better. Like any version though😜. Makes me think of a lounge singer of the 40s. Extraordinary!!! Great reaction. Brian May called Freddie’s playing style “percussive”.
Thanks, Hap - this live version is fairly close to the album..
The piano playing is exceptional. There is another recording of this song where Freddie’s voice sounds better,not that I’m disappointed.
Freddie thought he was an 'adequate' piano player which, for a perfectionist like Freddie, was just not good enough. He knew he was a great vocalist and songwriter. He also knew he was great at controlling a crowd. If it wasn't perfect then he felt himself to be lacking. Brian and Roger loved his piano playing and Brian mentioned how unique Freddie's hand position was while playing...wrists down and fingers up. I never noticed that until Brian commented on it in an interview. Also, as an aside, Brian mentioned that when Freddie played the guitar (rarely) he only strummed down and never up. Just thought you might enjoy the trivia and watching for it. Thanks for the reaction. I'm going to be requesting a reaction soon even though I'm can't afford Patreon. It's one I think you will really enjoy.
PS Brian (I think, or perhaps Roger) also said that when Freddie lifted his shoulders when singing he was really feeling the music.
It's melancolly. Not spelt this way but easier for you to say..
He didnt think he was a good piano player.
