    Brian May wrote this song for the film "Highlander". It's beautiful, but heartbreaking.

    Beautiful song and gorgeous video, but you really should react to the Wembley 1986 version. So powerful! It will blow you both away. The entire stadium goes so quiet, and it's just Freddie and Brian at first...then when the band kicks in...wow! Loving your reactions.

    OH Yeah...that song can be interpreted in many ways ...Such a hauntingly Beautiful tune , masterfully performed with all the style and charisma you could ask for from Queen. If this one jerks a small tear from you , then you need to watch the official video of the song the Boys wrote as a tribute to Freddie after his passing called "Only the Good Die Young" . That will make a grown Sasquatch cry.another good choice fellas truly enjoyed it !

    This song was written as part of the soundtrack for the movie Highlander where the main character is immortal and doesn't want to fall in love again because he will always outlive his wives. This song does reflect on Freddie now that he has passed, I agree. Thank you for your reaction.

    My mum loved the Highlander movie for two reasons 1) Big crush on Sean Connery 2) Queen’s soundtrack 👑 The movie is worth a watch!! 🍿 Next do PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE, GIMME THE PRIZE, & ONE YEAR OF LOVE.

    The Highlander movie (with this & other Queen songs) might be interesting to you. I couldn't imagine how it was done - but it really is part of the appeal. I read Queen saw it as "heavy metal with rock infused orchestrations" or something like that. My favorite song (in addition to this one) is heard over the radio in the movie, called ONE YEAR OF LOVE. The full song is glorious but it's a love song... so If that's too mushy for you, PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE would likely be more exciting and reveal a bit of the movie's story.

    • @XplozoneReacts

  • @DLCSTexas

    You brought your son there into a very adult theme. It’s good to see him love the song so much as we do. The reason it’s so adult is what was going on with Freddy and the band and the reason why Brian wrote the song and this is the first time we see Brian on any keyboard. I’ve seen the movie The Highlander many times. Maybe if your son was able to handle the words who wants to live forever he can handle the adult action movie. I hear your accents but don’t know know which country you may be from that you might be related to the region the Highlander grew from. I think it was Scotland as where they highlanders were from. Sean Connery was one of them. But the highlanders we’re immortals living forever while their mates grew old and died. This isn’t the only movie soundtrack that queen did. I believe that Freddy could put so much emotion in this song as he might have known his departure from this world wasn’t long and coming.

    • @XplozoneReacts
      @XplozoneReacts  2 роки тому

      We are from Wales UK, same as Scotland. The Highlanders are Scottish, as was Sean Connery. They are great films and with great soundtrack from Queen. We will also look at Queen's music from Flash Gordon, which my boy has not seen or heard yet. Hopefully he will enjoy the movies 😊

    This is also my favorite Queen song! I probably have 10 that are #2 and at least 50 in my Top 10.
    If you ever want an introduction to the current iteration of Queen, Adam Lambert does a powerfully emotional version of this song the day after The Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016. Brian said he almost forgot what he was playing because he'd never heard the song done with that much passion. You know I love Freddie, and he is NOT replaceable, and never will be. Adam does not ever try, but he's an outstanding front man nonetheless. I also love Brian and Roger and they are just thrilled to be able to continue to perform in their 70s at such a high level. ua-cam.com/video/eHPv80jNoQU/v-deo.html
