Id say he is the best like yes Gilmour is great but his ego is pushed so much. From what ive gathered they had to push Brian into the god solos weve gotten
@@Ithrial420 I don't think gilmour had an ego problem from what the other band mates had said. Either way pink floyd's work is a testament of what can happen when blooming creatives as individuals come together to make something as a collective
His singing is like molasses for the ears! Some of the songs he sings are the most beautiful tunes! My faves are tied between this song, Sail Away Sweet Sister and '39.
It definitely cut the onions for me, I had a black cat that I took in from the wild which I had a special bond with. He got out one day and never came back, killed me.
@@graceclayton4602 Queen II is an excellent album, and one of my favorites. White Queen (As it began) is a beautiful song. The reason I like '39, though, is because of the problems presented with space travel at (or near) the speed of light. Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity plays a large part in the song.
Thank you, Brian. Every time I listen to this song, I remember the cat I spent nearly 20 years with and can't stop crying. But this song warms my heart.
@@ekop1778 please dont make everything religious. I'm sorry for your loss, but you really shouldn't make it a religious thing. And, you shouldnt grieve, celebrate the life he had.
@@gtsonev1988 Yup, i agree, the transsistion from Freddie to Brian voice is very touching and context of the entire song makes it very sad. I also like "These Are the Days of Our Lives".
i recently bought a record player and naturally had to buy queen vinyls (news of the world and innuendo) and i always repeat this song because its so darn beautiful. good job may! you really did something there
Also worth noting that four birds are seen flying during the instrumental break. During the ending, two of the birds fly back and rest on the robot's fingers. Most likely to represent the band
It's sad to see the robot from the News of the World album fallen... Representing Freddie's death, and that the birds in the video represent all four of them with only Brian and Roger being the last 2 orginal members of Queen that still perform for the band...
It's symbolism, that everything does have it's time, like the News Of The World robot laying there, no longer working, the four birds turning into two (representing Deacon and Mercury leaving the group - Deacon going into retirement and Mercury passing away) and of course Brian's dead cat lol
INTERESTING CHANNEL Brian was a cat person too, but not quite as much as Freddie! There’s a few photos floating around of him as a teenager with the cat from the video.
skipdad yeah, especially the ending. I guess that the robot (from the cover of News of the World) is symbolic for death, as he holds the cat and the birds, even though Deacy isn’t dead.
I just realised it's Brian who's singing. This song is so beautiful, calm, but profund at the same time. I love the piano instrumental and the sudden drums. Queen has seriously and definately changed my life with their songs. If Roger or Brian happen to read this, thank you so much for all you've done guys. You have left a legacy that will never be forgotten. May Freddie rest in peace and I hope John is alright too. Thank you!!
I think it even was Brian who played the Piano in this one, but I'm note sure. But here is a Version where Freddie sung some parts and the other half was Brian ( if you haven't already heard this: ua-cam.com/video/fxQHi1QXboo/v-deo.html )
@@graciefoster4017 I'm an LGBTQ person, and I think using a female pronoun to refer to Freddie is wrong. Unless people say they want that, don't do it. He was a man. And, an awesome one.
This song has touched my heart since the moment I heard it back in 1978. Knowing it is about Brian's childhood cat makes it that much more special. Amazing how close we can become to our furry friends, and how sad and empty we feel when they leave us. Bravo, Queen! This is a song for the ages, love the video. "But of course I don't believe..."

I had seven friends. We met often. They were my second family. I am now 87 years old and the last of my friends died a year ago. I am the last. I listen to this song and I can't stop crying. All dead and gone...
At least you had that. I had many I thought were friends, dozens, but they really weren’t, or aren’t. I’m only 50 and I know that when I kick the bucket, there’s probably a maximum of 4 people going to be at the funeral. Maybe I can revive some old friendships, I’ve tried over the years, but everyone’s so caught up in their family or job - they just don’t care anymore. So you may be sad about your friends passing, my father feels similar, but my parents are out and about, meeting new people, making friends. Since you were able to have such wonderful friends, even seven of them, you might just find ONE more? Don’t give up. I hope you’re still around, not dead and gone. You carry a spark I envy you for.
All I noticed: -Depressed and full of story song -The lyrics composed by Brian plus the childhood cat -4 birbs which is them, later they are 2, reminds Freddie died and Deacon retired. -Plus above, the scene of 4 is the part where they raise to be legends, and then the 2 is lost -The giant robot means they were fallen champions
Do the birds at the end represent those gone or those still here, can't decide. I love this song and video. Many Thanks to Brian, prefer his voice over Freddie's on this song.
I love Freddie very much but he's not the only one in the band. Each of them write amazing songs. ROGER TAYLOR BRIAN MAY JOHN DEACON They are all part of queen and they are all equally important. Without them there wouldn't be a a queen and there probably wouldn't be a Freddie Mercury
It all connects, guys. The cat is Brian’s (ofc because the songs written about the cat). The Robot is Freddie because he does sing in the song, but the animation wasn’t made until MUCH later. Which means Freddie passed away before the animation was made. The birds at first, are Freddie, Roger, John, and Brian, but then at the end of the video, just the two birds represent Roger and Brian. That’s because Deaky retired, and Freddie died. It all CONNECTS GUYS.
This songs is about Brian's childhood cat who died. The female cat is the "little friend" Brian speaks about in the whole song. Not everything is about Freddie's demise.
When we all here that part we do think of Freddie but maybe we should remember others but we all need to remember him for his stage performance and his vocals and queens music
i donno how do these masterpieces could perfectly express all my feelings and sorrowful's fears. i love queen so much, their songs texts make me feel understood... music will always my cure, meanwhile im hoping to find someone who gets me and my thoughts without me speaking
He does. Not everyone is a powerhouse virtuoso like Freddie was. Brian May has a perfectly lovely voice, especially on delicate numbers like this or beautiful anthems like '39.
Rosi Takala he had a childhood cat named pixie! I’m not sure if he still has any cats, but I know he really loves animals so I wouldn’t be surprised if he does!
My cat just died, she looked exactly like the one in this video. She was curious, playful and a ray of sunshine in my cloudy life. This song is making me cry buckets right now. RIP my little angel. ❤️
@@jeffstewart3342I agree 💯%👍! Getting over the loss of a pet is more difficult than the loss of a human being. Pets are unconditional love, humans not so much. ☮️💜🙏 May you have beauty, peace and kindness in your life.
One of my very favorite songs by Brian. It’s best when he sings it, just like “39”. It’s sad but uplifting at the same time. Also doesn’t hurt to be a “cat lover”. Thanks Brian!! 🐈🐈
Everyone in this fucking band can sing better than I could ever sing, seriously, a band full of great singers and great instrument players...what a blessing
All the best musicians All dead, all dead All the dreams I had And I wonder why I still live on All dead, all dead And alone I'm spared My sweeter half instead All dead And gone All dead... All dead, all dead At the rainbow's end And still I hear their own sweet song right in my tiny head All dead, all dead
My cat of almost 10 years just tragically passed away the day before this comment was made. The next morning I remembered this song and video exists, and instantly sobbing to myself again. A truly sad and beautiful song for anyone, especially grieving pet lovers. To Sam 🧡
That would have been a very bad choice in my opinion, I think the show must go on was the perfect choice considering it was written for Freddie while he was very very ill
I thought that "The Show Must Go On" was the perfect ending. Freddie may be all dead, but the movie proves that his legacy is going on. It's a tribute to not just a great frontman, but a friend of the other members of the band.
This has to be one of the most beautiful and touching songs I know. My childhood cat, of which I lived with for as long as I can remember, just passed away, and this song speaks every emotion I feel. I have been listening to this song on repeat, tearing up at every lyric. The line 'of course I don't believe you're dead and gone' is so powerful; in every corner of my house I can still see my cat curled up asleep, his spirit will never be gone. He gave me unconditional love all my life, and always knew when I needed his comfort. I will truly miss him.
Brian May had even worked with NASA in the past, I believe he still does. He's more than just a musician and also an animal rights activist and an environmentalist.
Today marks one month since my cat went away. I'm a veterinarian and I couldn't save him. We love you very much. The baby in my partner's womb is developing thanks to you bringing us together. I'm going to let you go but I'm always going to keep you present next to me.
Lyrics! (incase you don’t know them) She came without a farthing A babe without a name So much ado 'bout nothing Is what she'd try to say So much ado my lover So many games we played Through every fleeted summer Through every precious day All dead, all dead All the dreams we had And I wonder why I still live on All dead, all dead And alone I'm spared My sweeter half instead All dead And gone All dead... All dead, all dead At the rainbow's end And still I hear her own sweet song All dead, all dead Take me back again You know my little friend's All dead And gone Her ways are always with me I wander all the while But please you must forgive me I am old but still a child All dead, all dead But I should not grieve In time it comes to everyone All dead, all dead But in hope I breathe Of course I don't believe You're dead And gone All dead And gone.

My cat, my dear boy Jessie passed away 2 years ago today. I remember listening to this song back to back almost for a week. Today I could find encouragement to listen again. This song is for you, my love. You will always be my love. Play, jump, sing in heaven 🖤 03.09.2022 10:30 p m
i honestly love queens ballads significantly more than their more heavily pop/rock songs. I wish they had made more and that the ones they did make were more popular
That keyboard intro, after nearly 51 years of life, is still one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. And another is the instrumental orchestral harmony in the middle section. Brian is somewhat embarressed (I think) about this song being about his pet cat. But I happen to think that pets of all kinds are to be valued just as highly as familly and frends. They ARE are families. Beautiful cats, beautiful dogs, beautiful birds. And all other pet animals.
*middle of the video* me: oh look 4 birdies i wonder who they represent *end of the video-only two birds* me: OH MY GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Crying over this song once again, with my cat Lua on my lap on this cold night and she's purring so loudly. She teaches me so much everyday 💗 I will always remember her with this song, even tho she's still alive. I hope she'll have a long life 🌹
Fantastic. Never knew the song was about this. Decidated to all the cats I loved before........Wampi, Marloesje, Humpie, Moossie, Ian, Zoe, Mitzi, Jack, Roger, Suze, RoodKop, Broer, Lizzy, Igor, Mimi, Mollie.
I listened to this song so many times without any context, and I realized what it was about when my first pet, my beautiful female dog, past away a year ago. I was just grieving her and listening to some songs while working at home when this one came up, and it hit me... then I made a video about my lovely friend and used this song for background music. After uploading it i read about the story behind this song, and it amazed me it was about a kitty that passed away. What a kind warm song. I love Queen, it gave me hope in my teen years, when I was so depressed I wanted to commit suicide, but I kept listening to all the albums my father had at home, he had most of the Queen vinyls, but I bought the ones he didn't had at fairs and music stores with the money my mother gave me for lunch... Your songs and my dog friend gave me hope, gave me reasons to be alive. You even have songs that try to prevent suicide in the title, like "Don't try suicide", also another song that helped me when a girl left me in high school was "Jealousy", and a lot of Hot Space songs were really good for my psyche. My family helped, but I really had a lot of self esteem issues... Time changed me a lot, but now I am in a race for stopping self esteem, I don't care about my looks, but my health either... I stopped doing exercise... and I only work and study all day... I'm 31. I have to start listening your songs again, I don't make myself time to be happy... Well, I love this video :)
Sorry for your loss. We had to put down our beloved Jack Russell Terrier a few years ago. For the first few weeks, it was unbearable. Now I can remember her without crying, and now we have a beloved cat we inherited from a relative who passed away. She's in good health, but unfortunately, 18 years old! So who knows, maybe there's another dog in our future? At any rate, major kudos to the creator of this awesome video! As for the song, it's one of my favorite Queen songs.
Hang in there friend. You seem like a lovely person and just don’t give up. You aren’t alone. Keep an open heart, I think your words resonate and helped people scrolling through this.
How are there 600 dislikes for this? I mean, you heave to be a Queen fan to even know the song..... so are Queen fans hitting dislike? Doesn’t make sense.
As I sit and listen, I have my cat beside me. Knowing that one day she too will be gone. Brian's song comforts me even now. Thank you Brian for such a beautiful song.
Has it been 50 years? I was 10 and this was just one of those songs I didn’t understand. So much of queens library has been understood by me more as I’ve passed through this life.
This album came out when I was about 10 years old. My parents had it in their collection but I think I didn’t discover it until I was 13 or 14. I would lay on the living room floor with headphones on, those big giant 70’s style ones, and listen to this album over and over and stare at the album artwork. I was mesmerized and officially hooked on Rock and Roll. This is still one of my all time favorite songs. This video is very cool.
My best friend's beloved cat died today. she was not even a year old when she died from a festering wound left by some slayer. A friend and her sisters cried when they buried the cat, but I told her about Brian and this song. Coincidence, but it happened just on Brian's birthday. Such a song is sad, but at the same time warm. leaves a feeling that there is no need to cry for those who have died. you should be glad that they were with you. Even if it is a small cat. Thank you Brian, our Marshmallow is playing with your kitty in cat heaven

Brian May must have cried his eyes out when he saw this. This is very touching.

Me after you. 🤗
Ok.....moving on.
You and I mate and not only Brian but Queen
Oh my God same
Brian is not only one of the best guitarists out there, but also one of the best singers too.
Id say he is the best like yes Gilmour is great but his ego is pushed so much. From what ive gathered they had to push Brian into the god solos weve gotten

This song was written by May which confirmed that it is partially inspired by the passing of his boyhood pet cat. That explains the cat animation.
It breaks my heart
Andy Bernard frick who is cutting the onions
Thank you. I thought since the production of the video was quite recent, it was about Freddie, who was definitely a cat lover.
It definitely cut the onions for me, I had a black cat that I took in from the wild which I had a special bond with. He got out one day and never came back, killed me.
@@alinalinalina6825 I think this is a tribute to Freddie, in a certain way. Even if the song was written a long time before he passed
How many bands can claim an astrophysicist for a lead guitarist?
Probably my favorite Brian May song is '39.
'39 is a beautiful song, but my favourite by Brian is White Queen (As It Began) :)
@@graceclayton4602 Queen II is an excellent album, and one of my favorites. White Queen (As it began) is a beautiful song.

I would argue it is more unknown than underrated. Hopefully this video will start to fix that
This is the first time I've ever heard it
This song is so depressing but other other side of the coin it a master piece brilliant but wot do we expect its queen👍
It all connects, guys. The cat is Brian’s (ofc because the songs written about the cat). The Robot is Freddie because he does sing in the song, but the animation wasn’t made until MUCH later. Which means Freddie passed away before the animation was made. The birds at first, are Freddie, Roger, John, and Brian, but then at the end of the video, just the two birds represent Roger and Brian. That’s because Deaky retired, and Freddie died. It all CONNECTS GUYS.
Omg. Ima cry
This songs is about Brian's childhood cat who died. The female cat is the "little friend" Brian speaks about in the whole song. Not everything is about Freddie's demise.
Felipe Xavier ok,. That makes me feel better about Freddie’s death. TY
@@tdudethetrain me to man me to

This song feels like a combination of the styles of: Queen, The Beatles and ELO. All at once.
HarriOwO OMG I KNOW RIGHT
Queen doesn’t have a style, they are a style lol
This is Queen
Period
Youre right
I understand ELO but maybe not the beetles
« Of course i don’t believe, you’re dead and gone » Oww that hit me hard. R.I.P Freddie
Porcelaine Dolly this is brians song, and he’s talking about his cat, this was on the news of the world album in they 70’s, way before Freddie died
Preston Garvey yes I know, that part just makes me think about it
When we all here that part we do think of Freddie but maybe we should remember others but we all need to remember him for his stage performance and his vocals and queens music
i donno how do these masterpieces could perfectly express all my feelings and sorrowful's fears.
i love queen so much, their songs texts make me feel understood...
music will always my cure, meanwhile im hoping to find someone who gets me and my thoughts without me speaking
And *finally* we know the name of Brian's childhood cat!
whats his name?
Wait what is it?
Pixie
pixieeeew
Griwhoolda poor kitty, poor Brian.
Is this Brian May singing? Such a wonderful voice! 💞
It is! I couldn't believe it! But this song reminds me of my two cats. Jasper and Twilight. They will always be loved by me.
Wigh Land it is! He has a pretty voice
Yeah. My grandpa doesn't like his voice. I no longer have a grandfather.
He does. Not everyone is a powerhouse virtuoso like Freddie was. Brian May has a perfectly lovely voice, especially on delicate numbers like this or beautiful anthems like '39.
I always thought Freddie was singing it. Surprised to learn that one just now. makes the song much better in ways that makes them Queen.
I know the one Brian mean is his cat, but I can't stop thinking about Freddie.😔
;..(
so brian had cats too?
Same
Rosi Takala he had a childhood cat named pixie! I’m not sure if he still has any cats, but I know he really loves animals so I wouldn’t be surprised if he does!
“My sweeter half instead all dead... and gone.”
i miss Freddie 😔
I absolutely adore 1:55-2:10 especially. Gives me a mental image of someone who just died “going into the light”.
“All dead all dead. All the dreams we had and I wonder why I still live on” wow that’s sad 😔 and it makes me miss my dog, Odie RIP 2005-2019 😔
cuddles!!!
Odie is watching you everytime and loves you as if there was no tomorrow
Great song I feel 4u too
It's very sad...
Sorry for your loss
My cat just died, she looked exactly like the one in this video. She was curious, playful and a ray of sunshine in my cloudy life. This song is making me cry buckets right now. RIP my little angel. ❤️
I feel sorry for your loss
I cried too, sorry for your cat.
So sorry for your loss. A beloved pet is always missed. Surely there are little cats who need your love and care.
Im 3 years later, AWWW, Im very sorry for your loss, People tend to getting over the loss of a loved one, but, a pet, never
@@jeffstewart3342I agree 💯%👍! Getting over the loss of a pet is more difficult than the loss of a human being. Pets are unconditional love, humans not so much. ☮️💜🙏 May you have beauty, peace and kindness in your life.
This song also good for eyes.
I'm crying and laughing at the same time now
One of my very favorite songs by Brian. It’s best when he sings it, just like “39”. It’s sad but uplifting at the same time. Also doesn’t hurt to be a “cat lover”. Thanks Brian!! 🐈🐈
I love Brian’s voice
Everyone in this fucking band can sing better than I could ever sing, seriously, a band full of great singers and great instrument players...what a blessing
All the best musicians
All dead, all dead
All the dreams I had
And I wonder why I still live on
All dead, all dead
And alone I'm spared
My sweeter half instead
All dead
And gone
All dead...
All dead, all dead
At the rainbow's end
And still I hear their own sweet song
right in my tiny head
All dead, all dead
So deep and sad.
So true
My cat of almost 10 years just tragically passed away the day before this comment was made. The next morning I remembered this song and video exists, and instantly sobbing to myself again. A truly sad and beautiful song for anyone, especially grieving pet lovers. To Sam 🧡
I am so sad that this wasnt played as the credits for Bohemian Rhapsody
They played "The Show Must go On" instead, which kind of made more sense, I'm glad they have the movie to keep the legend(s) alive.
That would have been a very bad choice in my opinion, I think the show must go on was the perfect choice considering it was written for Freddie while he was very very ill
I thought that "The Show Must Go On" was the perfect ending. Freddie may be all dead, but the movie proves that his legacy is going on. It's a tribute to not just a great frontman, but a friend of the other members of the band.
Eddie but Freddie isn’t dead. Legends never die
Jeeeeee
Brian’s voice is amazing as well what a talented group of people also great animation from the studio
“I’m old but still a child”

This has to be one of the most beautiful and touching songs I know. My childhood cat, of which I lived with for as long as I can remember, just passed away, and this song speaks every emotion I feel. I have been listening to this song on repeat, tearing up at every lyric. The line 'of course I don't believe you're dead and gone' is so powerful; in every corner of my house I can still see my cat curled up asleep, his spirit will never be gone. He gave me unconditional love all my life, and always knew when I needed his comfort. I will truly miss him.
Recognize that this man singing is not only a legendary guitarist, but he has a degree in astrophysics. What have I done with my life?
Brian May had even worked with NASA in the past, I believe he still does. He's more than just a musician and also an animal rights activist and an environmentalist.
He has a PHD not a degree! so its Dr Brian May (PHD Astrophysics)
“Of course I don’t believe you’re dead,
and gone...”
Why do these eyes of mine cry? 💔
What a beautiful and powerful song
About a cat.
Cats are beautiful and powerful
could be said about delilah too tbh
Neek it’s about the queen .. in the video it show 4 birds which means Brian may Freddie John roger . At the end there is two . The are roger and brian
Today marks one month since my cat went away. I'm a veterinarian and I couldn't save him. We love you very much. The baby in my partner's womb is developing thanks to you bringing us together. I'm going to let you go but I'm always going to keep you present next to me.
My heart is melting
(Update) It just melted.
Same ;(
Lyrics! (incase you don’t know them)
She came without a farthing
A babe without a name
So much ado 'bout nothing
Is what she'd try to say
So much ado my lover
So many games we played
Through every fleeted summer
Through every precious day
All dead, all dead
All the dreams we had
And I wonder why I still live on
All dead, all dead
And alone I'm spared
My sweeter half instead
All dead
And gone
All dead...
All dead, all dead
At the rainbow's end
And still I hear her own sweet song
All dead, all dead
Take me back again
You know my little friend's
All dead
And gone
Her ways are always with me
I wander all the while
But please you must forgive me
I am old but still a child
All dead, all dead
But I should not grieve
In time it comes to everyone
All dead, all dead
But in hope I breathe
Of course I don't believe
You're dead
And gone
All dead
And gone.
Loveu

You know what's wrong with this world? I've never heard that song on radio.
Ja też nie / me too :'(

You've also never heard The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke on the radio, which is my favourite Queen song.
Lyrics ~
She came without a farthing
A babe without a name
So much ado about nothing
Is what she'd try to say
So much ado, my lover
So many games we played
Through every fleeted Summer
Through every precious day
All dead, all dead
All the dreams we had
And I wonder why I still live on
All dead, all dead
And alone, I'm spared
My sweeter half instead
All dead and gone
All dead
All dead, all dead
At the rainbow's end
And still, I hear her own sweet song
All dead, all dead
Take me back again
You know my little friend's
All dead and gone
Her ways are always with me
I wander all the while
But, please, you must forgive me
I am old but still a child
All dead, all dead
But I should not grieve
In time it comes to everyone
All dead, all dead
But in hope, I breathe
Of course, I don't believe
You're dead and gone
All dead and gone.
I miss real talent like this guys, and know there's so much around but the industry is despicable. Queen will always give me the good chills!
@@asumisawada2097 this is the sickness... creeping into you like a cancer.
This seriously might be one of my new favourite queen songs. I have tears in my eyes
I've watched three times since yesterday to prove myself I can go through the video without shedding a year again and I've failed miserably.
Shedding a TEAR
It's in Queen's top three songs for me
Top one for me

Pixie is now my favorite member of Queen.
My cat, my dear boy Jessie passed away 2 years ago today. I remember listening to this song back to back almost for a week. Today I could find encouragement to listen again. This song is for you, my love. You will always be my love. Play, jump, sing in heaven 🖤

i honestly love queens ballads significantly more than their more heavily pop/rock songs. I wish they had made more and that the ones they did make were more popular
Potato Joe Honestly, nobody cares... Shut up and listen to the song
you obviously care. I mean, you cared enough to respond to my comment. Had you not truly cared, you wouldn't have even bothered writing your response.
Potato Joe Oh no, I just wanted you aware of your stupid comment 🤷
I care.
your name matches your personality
Brian has such a sweet voice, that little British tinge is just 👌
Never heard of anyone who could sing a song of the dead with such a captivating voice. Wow to Brian! (Anyone else finds his voice addictive?)
That keyboard intro, after nearly 51 years of life, is still one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. And another is the instrumental orchestral harmony in the middle section.
Brian is somewhat embarressed (I think) about this song being about his pet cat. But I happen to think that pets of all kinds are to be valued just as highly as familly and frends. They ARE are families. Beautiful cats, beautiful dogs, beautiful birds. And all other pet animals.
*middle of the video*
me: oh look 4 birdies i wonder who they represent
*end of the video-only two birds*
me: OH MY GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
fauhwn we don’t talk about their birds.
I did NOT notice that
@Mitro WolfM
4 birds = 4 members
2 birds = 2 members (brian and roger stayed in the band)

Crying over this song once again, with my cat Lua on my lap on this cold night and she's purring so loudly. She teaches me so much everyday 💗 I will always remember her with this song, even tho she's still alive. I hope she'll have a long life 🌹
Fulanderson I know I have a cat. there so fun to have and play with but death dose not care for what we love and will take them when ever he pleases
is she still alive?
this song makes me cry, and thats okie dokie. Brians voices is so soothing.
Leonor Deacon me too i’m crying my freaking eyes out to thid
I can’t listen to this without sobbing uncontrollably.
2:34 yes you should, Brian! We all grieve when we lose someone we love, expecially a pet!
Now, my pet is ill and I cry a lot because I love her very much.
Been listening to this since my teenage days. Never thought I'd live to see something like this.
I bought this album the year it came out
Moral of the story :
Bond with your pet before it’s too late
Me with a snake that has a lifespan of 30 years :👁👄👁
Or just get a pet that will outlive you like a snapping turtle
Agree with you. Friendly from France. A true fan of QUEEN since I was a teenager
Exactly :)
And your Freddie Mercury
Fantastic. Never knew the song was about this. Decidated to all the cats I loved before........Wampi, Marloesje, Humpie, Moossie, Ian, Zoe, Mitzi, Jack, Roger, Suze, RoodKop, Broer, Lizzy, Igor, Mimi, Mollie.
Jeff, Cinders, Pixel, Music, Bob (because he was roughly the size of a planet), Vicious, Mister, Kismet, Binks, Penny, and Ben.
``I know my little friend's all dead`` That's where it hits me..
Same here, and considering my cat died a few months back. I'm devastated.
It always hits me at "Of course I don't believe you're dead... And gone"
@@sssam794 same Bri
Pure art and genius, truthful to the immense grief and love the end brings about. The uncertain end: "of course I don't believe you're dead..."
Greatest Queen ballad for me personally! Much love for Brian
"Through every fleeted summer, through every precious day..." Pure, heartbreaking poetry.
I am a fearless person, I never cry at movies, tv, music nothing. But this song did it for me. It represents the twilight of my life
Not gonna lie, this is my favorite Queen song
SAME!!!
My 2nd fav because I still like Bohemian Rhapsody
Geo Metric Yoshi Yeah that’s definitely up there
Rhapsody was a better song
Word, same
This is the most overlooked queen song, change my mind.
No I won’t even try
I bought this album when it first came out. This song is the one song I'd play over and over. I still sing it to this very day.
R.I.P Bri’s cat :( ❤️
Who's bri
EDIT: Nevermind I just found out
GNR studios 😂😂😂😂
Lara Patzel I can so relate to this. I still miss my beloved cat. She died about 10 years ago but you never forget your pets and love them still.
Brian May did vocals on this tract. He wrote the song when his cat died.
@George W Brian May's own cat
I listened to this song so many times without any context, and I realized what it was about when my first pet, my beautiful female dog, past away a year ago. I was just grieving her and listening to some songs while working at home when this one came up, and it hit me... then I made a video about my lovely friend and used this song for background music. After uploading it i read about the story behind this song, and it amazed me it was about a kitty that passed away. What a kind warm song. I love Queen, it gave me hope in my teen years, when I was so depressed I wanted to commit suicide, but I kept listening to all the albums my father had at home, he had most of the Queen vinyls, but I bought the ones he didn't had at fairs and music stores with the money my mother gave me for lunch... Your songs and my dog friend gave me hope, gave me reasons to be alive. You even have songs that try to prevent suicide in the title, like "Don't try suicide", also another song that helped me when a girl left me in high school was "Jealousy", and a lot of Hot Space songs were really good for my psyche. My family helped, but I really had a lot of self esteem issues... Time changed me a lot, but now I am in a race for stopping self esteem, I don't care about my looks, but my health either... I stopped doing exercise... and I only work and study all day... I'm 31. I have to start listening your songs again, I don't make myself time to be happy...
Well, I love this video :)
:)
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss. We had to put down our beloved Jack Russell Terrier a few years ago. For the first few weeks, it was unbearable. Now I can remember her without crying, and now we have a beloved cat we inherited from a relative who passed away. She's in good health, but unfortunately, 18 years old! So who knows, maybe there's another dog in our future? At any rate, major kudos to the creator of this awesome video! As for the song, it's one of my favorite Queen songs.
Hang in there friend. You seem like a lovely person and just don’t give up. You aren’t alone. Keep an open heart, I think your words resonate and helped people scrolling through this.
Does not get enough recognition, but those who listen to this song for the first time cannot live anymore without it
I love this song so much, when I die I don't want to see angels, I want to see all my little friends who went before me.
You won't see anything.

Sad Dad, bit a casual gatekeeping going on there, as you do
As I sit and listen, I have my cat beside me. Knowing that one day she too will be gone. Brian's song comforts me even now. Thank you Brian for such a beautiful song.
Has it been 50 years? I was 10 and this was just one of those songs I didn’t understand. So much of queens library has been understood by me more as I’ve passed through this life.
This album came out when I was about 10 years old. My parents had it in their collection but I think I didn’t discover it until I was 13 or 14. I would lay on the living room floor with headphones on, those big giant 70’s style ones, and listen to this album over and over and stare at the album artwork. I was mesmerized and officially hooked on Rock and Roll. This is still one of my all time favorite songs. This video is very cool.
I remember a 6 year old me searching for the "old dad" song
Mine was a Wings classic. Stand on the Rug, aka Band on the Run. Same age LOL.
Shiiit l just laughed out
@@KelliViti How about "Stand in the Liver" by Adam Ant? He DID jump onto a dinner table in the video, after all.
Really? That is so sweet. Of all the song to have misheard. Did you lose your father? How did the song's meaning work for you?
@@scottbaker4534 you don't drink. Don't smoke. What do you do? Stand in the Liver? Why not? LOL
I got a kitten a couple days ago and she sadly passed away at 5 AM. I'll miss you so much Robin... you were gone to soon
My best friend's beloved cat died today. she was not even a year old when she died from a festering wound left by some slayer. A friend and her sisters cried when they buried the cat, but I told her about Brian and this song. Coincidence, but it happened just on Brian's birthday. Such a song is sad, but at the same time warm. leaves a feeling that there is no need to cry for those who have died. you should be glad that they were with you. Even if it is a small cat. Thank you Brian, our Marshmallow is playing with your kitty in cat heaven
Brian has a gorgeous voice, like, it’s so soft and beautiful, you can really hear his emotions and it make me a little tearful if I’m being honest
My kitten died the other day this clip makes me sad
Rip tiddy kittie
I'm sorry💖
I'm sorry.. God bless 💖
God blesss
I'm sorry to hear that! Your kitty lives on in your heart, and I'm sure they had a lovely life :)
Crash XT rip 😢
Can we just take a second to recognize and admire the lyrical aspect of this song? This is probably one of the best written songs ever in my opinion.
This song makes you plunge into Brian's sadness and feel his pain. This is the power of music and song
Queen in the best band in the world. 👍👑📀🎤🎙️🎵🎶🎸
