Oh Mia, Freddie wrote this as he was dying, he tells about the wonders he saw out of his window. RIP Freddie 💛💛💛 Freddie 's birthday is September 5th. His statue is there too.
@@dianecourtney2724 it is, but it's happy as well, we are seeing that Christmas, his last, we are seeing it through the song , how he expresses it. In the darkest hour, beauty can still be found
Written by Freddie in Montreux towards the end of his life, and covers his feelings and what he sees while staring through the window. Apparently he laid down the vocal track before handing it on to the rest of the band to complete at their leisure. The written lyrics featured on the video are Freddie's.
I wish they'd released it before he passed as a single They finished it after his death No 6 uk Im very upset it wasnt on their greatest hits 3. I dont understand why they didnt. Seems a bit direspectful
This reminds me of when I was young, living with my parents, winter nights etc. Freddie is really singing well here ! Another genuine reaction , it's a win for me. Thanks Mia !
Freddie wrote this as he sat out on his balcony he had in Montreux, Switzerland looking out over lake Geneva. He went there to get away from the prying eyes in London. He was dying and went there for peace. Even as he was dying, he was admiring the beauty around him. What an extraordinary man,
when you have a cup of tea and a couple puffs....might have been a glass years ago..but gave up drinking for something more herbal...lol....but yes def a good vibe
This was the very last song written by Freddie. It about his feelings and what he saw as he looked out his window from his house on Lake Geneva in Montreux, Switzerland. This is one of his last recordings, also. Brian's guitar is so emotive that it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. This song was released after Freddie's death on the Queen album appropriately named "Made In Heaven".
The song, the lyrics and (as always) Freddie’s vocals are heart-stirring. But I’ll say the remaining band mates really did up the last song Freddie wrote so beautifully- the backing harmonies are lovely, Brian’s guitar reminds me of the birds gliding through the air above the scenery… Roger’s drumming is the perfect light touch… and John’s bass was sublimely, softly melodic. They show their love for the Incredible Freddie in every nuance.
They did finish it nicely but its a shame Freddie didn't get them to finish it and release it as a single while he was still with us No 6 I'm still upset they didnt include it on greatest hits 3 but inc tracks that weren't released! Feels disrespectful
A great back story revealed optimism despite how ill he was. My world is spinning And spinning, and spinning It's unbelievable, sends me reeling Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming? Oh it’s bliss
One of my favourites even if it is so bittersweet. Christmas Time and Winter Time is really magical in the Alpine Region. There is something like "Alpenglühen". If you haven't seen this in Natura you haven't seen anything. Freddie Mercury lived in Munich and Montreux where he saw and understood our Alpine Lifestyle. I think he loved it. Just flew back to London in his last Days for medical Treatment.
I read that Freddie did this song about 2 weeks before he died. To me, it speaks volumes about Freddie's soul and heart. He was in so much pain. He was at the very end of his life. And yet his indomitable spirit and his pure joy of life shines through, strong and clear. He is/was such an amazing human being.
Hi Deb… Just FYI, it wasn’t as late as two weeks… I’m not sure exactly, but at the very latest it would’ve been a couple months. I saw a piece of an interview recently - I think it was Brian? - saying that Fred came home from Montreux in Sept… and Montreux was where he’d been recording, while living in what he called the “Duck House” right on the waterfront. When he got home, he stopped taking all his meds/passed away in Nov. The very last song he worked on was “Mother Love” - so that would’ve been in Sept maybe? - and this song would’ve been before that… but maybe as late as Sept also? IDK.🖖 Just an FYI!
Thanks for the info, Marcie. There's so much written about Freddie. I'm often not sure what is fact or what may be altered for whatever reason. Sounds like your explanation has more detail and makes sense. Thank you.
@@marciebulsaraorcutt Freddie's very last vocals put down were Mother Love in May 1991. He never made it back to the studio to finish it. This was before then. So probably recorded before May 1991.
@@sharonallforloveandpositiv5497 HEY Sharon, THANK YOU so much for clarifying that!! (I do remember reading before that it was May, but I'd forgotten...
Freddie’s handwritten words bring life to this song! Even tho it’s not a Christmas song it does give me warm fuzzies of the holiday season!! We should follow Freddie’s example of noticing those simple & beautiful things that surround us! Christmas is Freddie’s favorite holiday! FYI - Freddie’s birthday is September 5th. 😁🎂🎼🎂🎼🎂
Hi Miaaaa, A Winter's Tale is from Queen's 1995 album Made in Heaven, which i have, it's a beautiful album, even though he was dying, Freddie's voice was still amazing on this album, Freddie passed away in November 1991 but the band decided to put this album together in 1995, with songs that were recorded and not actually released while Freddie was ill, 2 songs stand out from the Made in Heaven album i think you should check out : Heaven For Everyone Mother Love With Mother Love, Freddie actually passed away before the song finished, so Brian May actually sung the last verse of the song 🙏🙏 Big Hi from Scotland 😀 😀 RIP, Freddie 🙏 🙏
The band bought a studio in Montreux around 78, but Montreux was a small and sleepy Swiss town at that time. Freddie hated it, because there was nothing to do, but the hard work 😁. Later he found it more comfortable and enjoyed the pieceful place and he spent more and more time there during his last 2 years. Freddie bought a lakeview apartmant and wanted to celebrate Christmas there, but he passed away in November. I always think on this video as Freddie's Christmas card sent to the fans.
I was walking through a local park on my way to work early one morning as the sun was rising and it was crisp, bright, clear, and still. It was freezing cold and all the grass was crunchy and frosted over. There's a path that runs along-side a stream that runs down the length of the park with a steep wooded hill the other side full of trees that overhang the stream. I just took a photo, put this song on and blissed out.
Omg I crying every time I hear this fantastic hymn, or what I shall call it……the piano and note in fire meens Freddie’s death, for it dos. And see Freddie’s handwrithing….this was maybee a 1-2 mounth beefore his daying. He wrothe it in Swizz, Montreux 💔😭😭😭
You need to react to The Bee Gees “Too much heaven”, CCR “I outa spell on you “ and “green river” you wouldn’t be disappointed but amazingly please, I wish you well and many blessings
You've certainly delved in to some of their more solemn songs so how about something invigorating like "One Vision live at Wembley 85" inspired by Martin Luther King or "I want it all official Queen video"
Fred wrote this from the view he had from his flat in Montreux, it wasn't that long before he came back to Garden Lodge and passed away, Queen put the finishing touches to it
Freddie found peace in Montreux, there's a statue there of Freddie, Brian wrote the words on the plaque
Oh Mia, Freddie wrote this as he was dying, he tells about the wonders he saw out of his window. RIP Freddie 💛💛💛 Freddie 's birthday is September 5th. His statue is there too.
Makes me get goose bumps, hair standing on end every time, close your eyes and let it take you right to a wintery Montreux
😢 so beautiful and sad at same time Miss Freddie💔

He was dieing but left us with his beauty.

as first thing he was still doing when he was came to Montreax was he was going to feed "his" wild swans

Lol Nothing Wrong w The Herbal Life Robert 😽💨 Definitely Will Help Set That Vibe .
Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️ how we miss you Freddie ❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️

The last song he wrote - at least You see what his hand writing looks like 😀👍
I always listen to this on winter nights. It's also in my christmas music rotation. Thank you for another excellent reaction video.
A great back story revealed optimism despite how ill he was.
My world is spinning
And spinning, and spinning
It's unbelievable, sends me reeling
Am I dreaming?

Absolutely gorgeous song, and Freddie's voice is beyond beautiful. One of my special ones/
Freddie Mercury´s and Queens music is so timeless and good! This music will live forever. 🎸🎤
Hi Miaaaa, A Winter's Tale is from Queen's 1995 album Made in Heaven, which i have, it's a beautiful album, even though he was dying, Freddie's voice was still amazing on this album, Freddie passed away in November 1991 but the band decided to put this album together in 1995, with songs that were recorded and not actually released while Freddie was ill, 2 songs stand out from the Made in Heaven album i think you should check out :
Heaven For Everyone
Mother Love
With Mother Love, Freddie actually passed away before the song finished, so Brian May actually sung the last verse of the song 🙏🙏
Big Hi from Scotland 😀 😀
RIP, Freddie 🙏 🙏
Most of Freddies vocals were from years earlier and some off his 85 solo
Heaven for everyone one of Rogers solo
Freddie sang lead on it in 87
Mih album they re did the music
The band bought a studio in Montreux around 78, but Montreux was a small and sleepy Swiss town at that time. Freddie hated it, because there was nothing to do, but the hard work 😁.

I always play this around Christmas time. Along with another Queen song, Thank God It's Christmas
This is literally my favourite song ever by queen!
You need to react to The Bee Gees “Too much heaven”, CCR “I outa spell on you “ and “green river” you wouldn’t be disappointed but amazingly please, I wish you well and many blessings
It's said Freddie wrote this looking out the window of his hospital bed...
Not true. Freddie was never in the hospital. He was taken care of solely by his closest people. He died in Garden Lodge.
This was written about the view looking out the window at his Montreux home. When he left there, he went back to Garden Lodge for his final days.
This is the last song Freddie wrote alone.
You've certainly delved in to some of their more solemn songs so how about something invigorating like "One Vision live at Wembley 85" inspired by Martin Luther King or "I want it all official Queen video"
Brian’s guitar is crying and so am I.
Fred wrote this from the view he had from his flat in Montreux, it wasn't that long before he came back to Garden Lodge and passed away, Queen put the finishing touches to it
Montreux un posto che freddi amava
Lo he dicho en varias ocasiones, es una de las mejores canciones del album "Made In Heaven" y unas de las mas lindas de la década de los 90s...
