Queen - Keep Passing the Open Windows (Official Lyric Video)
/ queenofficial
Freddie was and is the friend of all the people that are alone. If I were a therapist I'd recommend Queen to my patients.
Same.
Living on my owwwn
He did so much for us- he reminded us we are strong..and you can enjoy all the little things without being a weak man or woman...He made us believe..
Yes... It's true... 🎵
So True. Queen is excellent an free
John Deacon rocking that bass... A great song
John was a very subtle player and never liked the spotlights. He also never did vocals like the others did. He reflects his "shyness" through his bass sound. Subtle and never overdone.
Despite his static appearance (John never moved that much) his bassline always has an impact, much like Steve Harris's basslines have their own lives (Yeah I think Steve is one of they very best rock bassists).
Also, John Deacon did sing back-up vocals for live performances for many, many years with queen - he sang whenever the band needed him to. Freddie does talk in more than one interview on youtube about the timbre of John's voice being significant to enrich and layer out a specific chorous or phrase in various songs for live performances. It is true John was shy but he was very strong and generous on stage - the live performance of under pressure (queen under pressure SNL) is a great example - John knew Freddie was struggling with severe strain on his vocal chords and he was right up in front next to him, supporting him, taking the pressure off his friend by smiling directly into camera, playing wonderful bass as always and dancing like a diva - he and Freddie are beautifully in sync dancing together, it is gorgeous.
Juliet Lambert : ❤️❤️your comment😍🥰❤️❗️
John was a great live dancer. The presentation you point out always amazes me, that tremendous synchrony between Freddie and John is incredible!!
I listen to this song every morning religiously because I seriously feel it has reprogrammed my brain to think positively and see the opportunities I have in life. Now I'm off 8 meds and have zero anxiety or depression. And not just this song, but many of Queen's songs have such spiritual messages that have accelerated my personal growth. Check out Innuendo, Hammer To Fall, Princes of the Universe , One Vision, Don't Lose Your Head, Made In Heaven, Spread Your Wings just to name a few others that may inspire you and change your life. Also, it's not just the lyrics it's the whole energy behind the band Queen and the presence in Freddie's voice. It's authentic! He lived what he sang! It will sink into the depths of your soul and awaken your potential!
Strange...I have a similar experience.
I used to listen to this several times a day when writing on a novella in Belfast...It was hard times, and I listened to the entire Queen's tape (yes, I used an old fashioned tape walk man from the 80s, where the Queen's tape was bought at a local farmer's market for a pound). Hammer to Fall was my "fighting" song. To BE the hammer as I wrote as it were.
It was only after I was finished writing the tale, I stopped listening to that tape. Not for years now. Not since 2005. I guess too many memories is tied up to that song, and the story I was writing.
I drank moderately heavily (a pint of cheap whiskey and a six pack of Guinness for dinner after work every day), as opposed to half a bottle whiskey, 6 pints AND 3 bottles of wine the day I wrote the entire story by hand as raw draft, and listened to John Lee Hooker).
Your comment and this song opened a rabbit hole of memories as I smoke my toke...
Maybe I'll put in on my playlist again when I go up to the mountain next year to write some other heavy shit.
Beautiful testimonies, I can imagine he knows this somehow & is happy they're songs have supported you both and so many.., me included
Wowwwww. This song I called by myself in January: "My summer song", for the same reasons that you were saying!!!. It will be some kind of magic????.
May I suggest one more ua-cam.com/video/dn2z19QnEfQ/v-deo.html
congratulations Lumen. The Queen songs really show us feeling, spiritual messages and soul. is amazing listen the music of Queen.
Queen is all I need.
Exactly :-)
Is all we need
Including oxigen, water, food and warmth but yeah Queen is all of that
한국인이다!!!
@@user-id1nd7lh7q 넹ㅋㅋㅋ
What an amazing anti suicide song! They have a lot of songs that deal with depression! It's A Hard Life, If You Can't Beat Them, Don't Lose Your Head, and of course, Don't Try Suicide.
Better than that Logic song "1-800-273-8255," which in my opinion is very shitty. Queen's "Keep Passing the Open Windows" is better because it's more upbeat.
And Spreed Your Wings too
When it comes to passing open windows it is better to just shut those windows rather than pass them.
Don't forget Rain Must Fall, Friends Will Be Friends, The Show Must Go On, Breakthru, Don't Try So Hard and It's A Beautiful Day...
And Keep Yourself Alive
"“Keep passing the open windows” is the phrase that comes from the John Irving novel The Hotel New Hampshire, published in 1981. It is a catchphrase among the Berry family, the characters whose story is told in the novel. It is drawn from a story that the Berry parents tell their children, about a street performer called “The King of Mice.” He committed suicide in jumping from a window. “Keep passing the open windows” is the family’s way of saying to each other to carry on when the going gets tough."
Marina Petkovic Good story, thnx
Yeah I was wondering what it meant for a second then I read that on wiki
I love that book. One of my fauvorites!! The song is at the same level.
I did not know the background and always wondered. Had deduced it meant don't use an open window as a suicide opportunity, but now I know the real details--thanks so much. Just LOVE that song--and Queen!
Woah, I didnt know that. I was always curious by what it meant to "keep passing the open windows"
I found this song on accident, I tried telling my Alexa to play "innuendo" but she misheard me and played this instead, I let her play it and it honestly made my day, cos I was having a pretty shitty one and this is instantly my new favorite queen song.
The only point stuck in my mind how the hell Alexa interpreted this song from innuendo? :)
@@Mustafa-fm7kg window sounds similar to innuendo I guess ?
Well done Alexa lol. Brian does a killer outro solo love it
@@zootiroot "Innuendo" and "Window" sounds similar.
@@zootiroot it may have thought he said to play windows from the album nintendo
Freddie saving me again..... Thank you for everything!! love you still...
Listening to this song is saving me and helping me through a hard time right this moment, and has done on quite a few other occasions.❤
For some reason, my pets all really seem to like this awkwardly specific queen song. They just get so happy when they hear the chorus. Its adorable.
Well, they clearly relate to that line 'passing the open window'...:)
Funny, my cats will launch themselves out any convenient window, but they *are* built to land on their feet, aren't they?
Lmao, even my cockatiel begins to sing while this song goes on
@Good Old Fashioned Killer Queen we have the same username lol
@@necrosisanonymous2915 Lol, we do.
Queen is literally the band that calms me down when I’m not happy or if I just need time alone no matter how I’m feeling.
me to. their songs always managed to lift my spirit, even their saddest ballads.
If you're wanting to calm down, so just "Get Down, Make Love"
This song must be the anthem of the humanity.
Don't try suicide part II.
misael jesus martinez navarro Both great songs!
misael jesus martinez navarro yeah but this definetly has a more upbeat feeling
Or Keep Yourself Alive part III :)
Don't try suicide... revisited
keep yourself alive - part III
After reviewing the latest news about Trump, Coronovirus, animal abuse, unemployment I was ready to look for the open window. This song and Queen's music in general brings me back to sanity every time. I'm 87 years old and only found Queen after watching the movie. I have listened for several hours every day since. Thank God for finding this music to bring joy to a particularly difficult time in life.
Nice
His multitrack vocal recordings are phenomenal. He could change the pitch of his voice so subtly he created a chorus with his own voice alone.
One thing is certain, between The Carpenters and Queen, these two bands perfected studio multitrack vocal harmony. Neither could really perform it live, but it is pure studio vocal ear candy.
@@abigguitar You're an idiot.
I love the bass and piano in this song!
Just believe
Just keep passing the open windows..
of course...
The year I interviewed Queen for the first time... (1984...great year!) When I got the vinyl from the Recording label, as a promotional copy, I listened to all of it, and liked many tracks; however, this one in particular *Keep Passing the Open Window*, haunted me with that kick ass tune. I just wanted to dance all around my studio, over and over again! And sure, it does have optimism oozing out of it, in my opinion...just can't stop that feeling!
it was in 1984, and over the years, and, obviously, in 2017! (~_*)
Freddie, keep passing by that open window, while you float upon a star...
Melody Fox (aka the Princess of Rock)
LPM
Melody Fox did you meet Freddie?
Nonono Freddie was the Queen of rock
My Gosh! How was it!!
It's a great song !! Queen is the best band of the World !!!
Freddie Mercury was a fabulous singer, Rip 😇
Ancel Aurelie Freddie IS the best singer!!! The only one!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song literally saved my life,
Brian: **reaches for window**
Freddie: *don't. close. the. window.*
I genuinely can't tell If you just made a really dark joke on purpose or by accident. Either way, kudos, you made me laugh and hurt inside at the same time, bravo.
@@mayaenglish5424 i just realized what u meant omg
@@viaazx69 So I take it *That* was unintentional. lol. That's almost funnier. Poor Brian. Someone hug him.
@@mayaenglish5424 I don't get the dark joke oml sorry, can you explainnnnn? 😅😥
@@macaroni1121 the song is anti suicide,
Brian has struggled with mental health, depression and suicidal thoughts, If you get the imagery of the song, you'll get the joke I thought they were making. You know, about staying away from open windows while you're suicidal. I was just trying to put it delicately.
Deaky's bassline is spectacular (as always)!
Yes people. Only QUEEN songs make me happy. Really 20 years
The Works is my favourite album
Definitely one of their best and also a top favorite for me! It´s A Hard Life for me is the last song of the "old" Queen Aera. The Works is somewhat of an cornerstone album. It has super heavy tracks with rough vocals on it. With this album the falcetto voicings vanished because of Fred´s smoking habbits, he coudn´t reach those high registers when it has come to live performances. One could see that on their 1982 Tour, where Fred cracked his voice over and over. But nevertheless ... he always gave everything! All that made him the greatest vocalist and front performer of all time. John and Fred, my aces in the band!
@@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522 Ahem, Freddie did a falsetto song PAIN IS SO CLOSE TO PLEASURE on the next album, and started actually doing more falsetto live.
For example he did a falsetto "Impromptu" on every concert from 1984 on, like 1984: ua-cam.com/video/SmSvw3D5A5M/v-deo.html 1985: ua-cam.com/video/j--af9kt3RM/v-deo.html 1986: ua-cam.com/video/WWNJM3NI6-o/v-deo.html
I remember being a kid and being proud of knowing this kind of hidden treasures, not just the hits. Love this song.
I listened to this on repeat, for around maybe 30 mins or so, and suddenly a week that had been full of nothing but stress and sadness turned into a really good day :)
Crackingtune
Sometimes all you need is queen
FREDDIE, i hope you happy now in the HEAVEN
Mercury's piano and singing are sublime.
What a truly uplifting song and message believe in yourselves guys 😁
this kind of music is sublime, incredible.
Best song to listen to on an airplane
Best song to listen to ANYWHERE
@@drewcomparato111 peridot
HOW THIS PIECE CAN GET SUCH A LOW NUMBER OF VIEWS!!!
Honestly, I'm in pure shock. I had only streamed this song on Spotify before, and I thought it was one of the best tracks in the album.
It's beautiful, packed with joy, and powerful. Its lyrics strong and the tune is just great too.
I can't know why it gets so little recognition here..
If you know someone who is in depression, show them this song... Its a very motivational song, must be a good terapy because it shows that everyday we have the opportunity to change our lives, if we want to and dont waste time with bad thoughts, cause life is the greateast gift that all of us have ever received, and should be valued.
Have been a Queen fan for decades and their genius still stuns me!
When you realize that the baseline of this song is a faster version of the kind of magic baseline
Yes! I was listening to the great baseline and knew it reminded me of something but I couldn't remember what. Thanks for the info.
other way around AKOM is a slower version....this was recorded years before AKOM.....
Yes, and all these lines are so great. Was just shopping at the local Salvation Army, heard a familiar note or two and recognized "Under Pressure."
I want to give you a like but you have 39 likes and I don't want a ruin it and turn it in 40
*bassline
Mercury, you are the best that ever happened to the world.
The spirituality of Queen is what attracted me, their love in a real honest way put in a song. This song I love because Freddie is singing about don't jump out and kill/hurt yourself. Pass the dead end streets. Stay on the straight and narrow no matter how bad, hurt or all thumbs down. This too shall pass. I have so much love for all men who make and made Queen, Queen. " My Body is Walking in Space " Hair done by England Theatre
That piano...
Fack you Queen, I had to listen to the whole thing. I tried to click away and couldn't.
yes, it's incredible ;)
I've been really working to bring up my self-esteem and believe in myself more. I'm really trying to get out of a dark place I was in for so long. Discovering this song has honestly really helped.
Thank you Fred, Bri, Deaky and Rog for this masterpiece
Omg Freddie Mercury made a song for me😭😭 Thank you😢
This vastly underrated classic kept my heads up during a heavy writing period in Belfast during a heart break back in 2005.
Memories from Birds, the Bees & a Bottle of Whiskey is popping up right now.
Thank you for keeping me alive during a time I wanted to die....
Drown my liver in a boottle of booze.
Fell in love with this song because of the piano and I honestly didn't have high expectations for this song when it started
I can hear some "a kind of magic" instrumental😏
Alondra ' I was thinking the same, the bass line in the beginning sounds the same
Just about to say
The Bass line is similar but faster
I noticed how this is an anti suicide song, but the song right after this is Hammer to Fall, which is a song about the inevitability of death.
All you need is love.
John Lennon
Love is all you need.
Freddie Mercury
This song is so underrated
You just gotta be strong and believe in yourself. Only I know how these words from Freddie have helped over the years and through hard times.
The bassline sounds like a kind of magic
Breakthru also 😉
Wow, another relatable Queen song.
Top 10 queen song in my eyes
Makes you feel like you have to fight back, whatever the obstacles are, legends...... ❤️
Queen had been and gone just before my time, but I still class these guys as my all time favourite band!
Who needs a therapist when you have Queen?
I mean, Queen helps you to never lose hope even if it's a hard or sad situation.
One of the most underated queen songs of all time... Been listening to queen since i was a kid... Never get bored of any of there music..... Beat group in the world by a country mile....
0:26 This was the Kind Of Magic bass line before the A Kind Of Magic was ever released.
But a different key and played differently
This song just saved my life.
somehow I think this song is the only thing that stops me from ending it all... it's sad but I don't care.
Cara Cavota keep strong brother
@@paulclarke8925 might be a sister just saying
Cara Cavota always a light at the end of the tunnel. Try and join something that makes you feel needed. Maybe get into some sort of volunteering on the weekends. Hope your doing alright
Roger's drumming is so good... All four of them are amazing... I love queen so much
Roger was one with the rest, it's how they play together what makes them phenomenal. Roger never was an ace drummer (Just very good! :) ) but his rythms were always spot on. Ask me who a phenomenal drummer is and I will answer Nicko McBrain.
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 why did this comment make me laugh....
Another masterpiece...Freddie wrote it?
Raymonde Sherman yes ☺
@@widzewlordi it's written by John Deacon😐 it literally says it on the thumbnail
@@thecodegeek9983 are you insane??
@@widzewlordi check the thumbnail my friend, the truth will be revealed
@@thecodegeek9983 In the thumbnail, it said that freddie wrote it. What do you mean
This song makes me feel so happy =)
Hermosa canción!!!!!
Najash Lee Same.
epic freddie mercury says so much about him very lonely man with such awesome talent.
pure genius!
This is clearly my favorite Queen song. Everytime I feel sad I listen to this and I immediately feel better.
This song has kept me going through this pandemic!
4yrs from now,queen will be 50yrs,after all these years no band comes close to queen,music now a days is full of crap,and i dnt know y they call it music,only a few singers or band can sing real songs,
I was born in the wrong century
It's very simple. There's music...and there's Queen.
@@LeToplache007 same
3 years later and this comment is still so true. Queen will forever be the BEST band! think about how many lives Queen has saved with their music. Billie Eilish can't do that, she makes depression an aesthetic...
One of my alltime favourites! Great tune.
This is the works's Masterpiece
When I've been in England I listened this, all the way to great country. This song makes me really good vibes. The one of the biggest songs for Queen for me. Sorry, if my writing is wrong I'm Hungarian😉🇭🇺
Tonight for the first time
This is a very special song
From Queen to you
Tavaszi szél vizet áraszt
Virágom, virágom
Minden madár társat választ
Virágom, virágom
Ta-ra-ra-ra ra-ra-ra-ra
Virágom, virágom
Virágom, virágom
Ta-ra-ra-ra ra-ra-ra-ra
Virágom, virágom
Virágom, virágom
Thank you ❤️
The lyrics connects so well, Freddie always great
pure joy... loving life and Freddie's power
I'm trying to put the pieces together and trying to be sane. During this tough time, my friend sent me this to me. Reading the lines. Freddie is my idol when I'm down or hedonic. I just hope whatever happens I will be able to keep a straight face. I hope.
Wonderful track, originally written for the 1984 film, 'The Hotel New Hampshire' starring Jodie Foster, Beau Bridges, Nastassja Kinski, and Rob Lowe.
More underrated than lily of the valley, innuendo, and march of the black queen.But its Probably one of the best Queen songs.
A masterpiece.
One in a million, miss you FREDDI
Great song ! Miss you, Freddie... 👑
When listened this song at the AM radio in morning, just lifted my mood very sure. Back in 1984.
Love this song almost 20 years since I was kid
I ve been listening queen fir over 1 year.And every month I discover a new masterpiece.I thought it was over....
i cannot express enough how fantastic and skillful queen was musicly as well as in song writing
Yes! you never die! You're one of a kind!FREDDIE for ever!
Hello from UKRAINE.very positive song.Queen-we the best.
Ti amo Freddie ❤
This entire album is so underrated all of the songs should have millions more views like seriously this needs more exposure
I really wanna say THANKS! for all this Queen's songs!
It's like psychotherapy in music form.
There must be one troll in the world who goes around hitting the thumbs down... SMH...
Surely a mis-click.
Queen official are so generous to us.
If you were a bad person today, be a better person tomorrow. Be better everyday.
another hidden gem from my best band! can't stop listening to it...
My friends: how 2020 been so far
Me: 1:09
In my opinion this song in live would be incredible
it's too demanding vocally for freddie, having to do lots of shows in the tour, maybe if they pitched it down it'd work
With love from the USSR. My favorite band
Which republic?
We all miss you Freddie 😔🙏🏼
The Works album is a brilliant piece of work with 4 great single's coming off it. I will say this rate's amongst the best track's and is very underrated.
Just one of many reasons I fell in love with Queen. Positivity, positivity, positivity!!
Just listened this at the first time and just loved it
Всегда буду любить этот ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНЫЙ...МОЩНЫЙ..КОСМИЧЕСКИЙ...ТЕМПЕРАМЕНТНЫЙ ...КОРОЛЕВСКИЙ ..ГОЛОС👏👏❤❤❤❤СВЕТЛАЯ ПАМЯТЬ😔😭🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you Queen, for everything.
Es una de mis favoritas, al final me llenan mas este tipo de canciones que los hits de cada album, aunque no obviare que comencé escuchando Queen por ellas. La guitarra te acompaña y eleva a través de las ventanas, increíble.
ive got this photo at end signed by all the band
Lucky You !
Can I have it!
Please!
Omfg, that is extremely lucky.
