    Excellent selection. Thanks for doing this! This is a reaction video so I don’t mind your input. Queen is a deep rabbit hole of four genius musicians and this is one of my favorite albums of all time! I wish it wasn’t so heavily edited. On your own listen to the album uninterrupted and you will go on a journey with Queen. ❤RIP Freddie Mercury-legend

    Seaside Rendezvous. Yes! The “musical” bridge is Freddie and Roger mimicking various instruments (even kazoo) using their voices. This song is so fun and happy and is one of favorites!

    In case you don’t know, the a cappella intro to BoRhap is only Freddie harmonizing with himself. There is a short documentary, “Inside the Rhapsody” about the recording of the song. (Also, Freddie sings all the lovely harmonies on "Love of My Life".)

    Nice review! A Night At The Opera is like a variety theatre show they used put on in Britain, all of the sections are like snapshot from the show, they always ended these variety shows with the national anthem. The album is really like a night at the theatre. I think Bohemian Rhapsody is about being an entertainer "so you think you can love me and leave me to die", that is something you might say about the public or your fans, one day you are loved and the next day you are forgotten. You have to kill a part of yourself to be famous. I think the acapella section in the Prophet Song is like religious indoctrination.
    As for Love Of My Life, Queen has some incredibly beautiful music, which can actually be rare in the rock genre. Freddie Mercury had one of the most beautiful voices of all.

    Their managers had them living with just a few £s after 3 slbums and international tours. The manager was driving a new Rolls, but they refused to give Jon Deacon, bassist, a loan so he could put a down payment on a home for he and his bride.

    For me the whole point of reaction videos are the the comments. Sure you got to time it right. Like maybe not mid verse/chorus / guitar solo.. etc.
    Usually its fans of the music watching. They have heard these songs uninterrupted a million times!
    Personally I prefer deeper analysis of the music rather the lyrics but a bit of both is good.
    Good idea to have / read a summery synopsis of each song after.

    well bro, I started watching and it was fine until you read lyrics in the middle of an album listen. like.. you want to understand stuff for yourself? or you wanna chat with an audience? I get that it is really hard when someone says yoy are dumb or annoying, and it's gtreat to analyze but you can stop after 1 minute in an album listen and read lyrics outlout. that's playing stupid. I respect you respect Queen but you have to figure out you are doing this for other people to enjoy. not for yourself. so.. that's the only issue. get into lyrics after the album is done or make another video with worning, am reading all the lyrics in thyis one. you are ceahting. you have my view now and 681 people half of whom are dissapointed and waisted 10 minutes of their lives because you couldnt care less. so.. make sure you are analyzing for someone who sits and listens and then you will do better content. thanks for supporeting queen, I take off the like but wont do unlike. think about it harder.

I said find the middle ground to help you. you have to though worn that you read lyrics. I saw many commenteries and I a guy I appreciate do lyrics but after he talks about the song and the song ended. so. this is the genre you chose, you need to give what the people want, you are on youtube buddy if you don't want commenting use another medium where fans like me don't get reccomendations to your channel. as you see I carfe so I give youa dvice, not say eff you. so. have some respect and get what I am saying. just do better content and then guys like me will follow and appreciate. but at least you do Queen so good luck. and bro you know it's not just me, so don't go personal. right? that's it. this was not personal either. you can do better content period. you wanna do how you do, go ahead.
