I want to hug Brian May.
Me too
Me after you. 🤗
Ok.....moving on.
You and I mate and not only Brian but Queen
Oh my God same
,,I'm old but still a child" - definition of Brian May
So tru🤣
Exactly
And Rog!
actually he says that because he is going back to his childhood memories when his cat died
I think same
This song is criminally underrated
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👍
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
Some play guitar, and some ARE guitar, Brian ARE guitar
@@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.
his texts...
Brian May must have cried his eyes out when he saw this. This is very touching.
I sure as hell did cry
Ik I did😭💕
He's so sensitive, cute guy. I've had a lot of cat, too, my faithful friends in good and bad times, they all are unforgettable. 💕
jeigheff he is the one singing it
I know I sure cried
Roger and Brian were th first members of the band.... and now only they are in the band...."So sad it ends, as it began" White Queen, 1974
Daffa Hazza they mean as in queen
@@PATMAR0104 well as in Queen that would include Freddie too isn't it?
The band was called smile with Tim, Brian and Rodger
😪
“And all around the air did say”
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
One of my childhood cat's died today at 16 years old and I thought of this song. Don't take your pets for granted and cherish every moment with them
So sorry for your loss.. Remember the good times.. xxx
♥♥♥♥
I've lost several pets, each one is Heartbreaking... you are right , cherish every moment 🌹
I did take them for granted. Hate myself for it everyday.
I am sorry for your loss.❣
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. 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.
I love '39, it's wonderful! And Brian can really rock a 12-string 🎸!
@@graceclayton4602 For me 39, White Queen (Hammersmith) and Teo Torriate are his greatest
Sail Away Sweet Sister is also great!
The giant that once held the champions has fallen
God,I didn’ t thinked that
well fuck... now I'm crying ToT
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?!! This is what I think about at night cause theirs not just one reason for it welp :,)
Also, the fact that Freddie is the bloodied one in that album cover + the fact that he is now gone is haunting
shut up I'm already sad
One of my very, very favourite Queen’s song. I love the cat walk featuring the lyrics as they’re sung along. A masterpiece in my opinion.
Irresistible! 🖤♥️🖤♥️🖤
Agreed. It is a masterpiece.
Me too! I love this song even though it is about death.
I agree. Personally I really didn't care for the song on the album. But with this video I can't get enough of it. It's done perfectly.
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...
Much love to you!♥️🌹
❤️
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.
Someone had to be the last one. 🌚
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
*”all dead, all dead, but I should not grieve. In time it comes to everyone.”*
*deep mate*
So deep but yet so true we should never grieve about are dead family members and friends and remember the good times we had and celebrate their life
don´t forget how it continues: In hope I breathe, because of course I believe you´re NOT all dead and gone.
@@juttapopp1869 BELIVE IN JESUS AND YOULL BE SAVED
LOST MY DAD 3 MONTHS AGO AND STILL GRIEVING
@@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.
“I’m old but still a child”
A quote that describes Ringo Starr
ikr
Why is this so accurate
How so?
Peace and love 😎☮️✌️🎶🥦🦏❤️✨⭐
Peace and love ❤️✌🏻
“Of course I don’t believe you’re dead,
and gone...”
Why do these eyes of mine cry? 💔
Brian's voice is a combination of Paul McCartney and Freddie Mercury
OMG yes now that I listen to it! Now I cant not hear it lol
Steel Penguin OMG, very similar to Paul McCartney, Yes!!
If you haven't heard it, you'll love Long Away, very McCartney-esque
U got it right
Even in live performances he sounds like Paul McCartney a bit.
Mixing Brian's voice with Freddie's voice is like putting glitter on diamonds.
*cheff's kiss*
It's precious!
Not sure that analogy works. Adding glitter to something renowned for it's sparkle - sounds Superfluous.
Бриллианты самоцветами
@@hazelwray4184 you pretentious little hipster
This is one of my three favourite Queen songs, along with ''It's Late'' and ''Liar'' ... what a band.
Amazing taste👌
But not too late
Woooh! I love these songs so much too. 💃 Pure epic music for all time
White Queen and Father to Son are mine. For me Queen II was the best album.
"It's Late" is like a symphony.
What a beautiful way to immortalize one's beloved companion
Brian’s voice is so beautiful. Every member of Queen is so talented...
so true
Except Paul McCartney
@@neopolitanaxe7835 Wut
@@neopolitanaxe7835 Paul McCartney isn't in queen. Learn before say.
I tend to comment on videos. I am positive VanHalen is in Queen you poser
*That ending is amazing on every level*
Ties right in with the album cover for News of the World...pretty darned awesome if you ask me.
It's not amazing on every level, it is beyond that. but sadly there aren't any words that can describe it.
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
The ending is amazing😌🎶🌹
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
I can’t listen to this without sobbing uncontrollably.
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 🧡
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
wrong, the robot does not represent Freddie
The song was about Brian's Dead cat
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.
The robots name is frank
-All dead: Freddie
...And gone: John
My poor heart...
and you not even mentionet the traveling willburys :( and bowie the cool kids...
true
This song is about Brian’s boyhood cat :(
STOP IM SOBBING
@@237homer238 you make me feel afraid, Jeff and Bob still are alive.
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!! 🐈🐈
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.
Whoever came up with this animation and made it are absolute geniuses
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.
true for sure it brians idea hes a genius lol
Yea, it's also very good at making ppl cry. I've never cried so much at a song.
Arkham Knight hiw did you know that?
@@princey_06 it says on Wikipedia, I know Wikipedia isn't a reliable source but I doubt it's false about that.
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 😔
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.
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
Brians voice is delilah’s soft purring.
FBI
Not sure who delilah is I’m assuming it’s his cat?
@@LucyWest370 she was one of Freddie's cats (Delilah is the Favourite Freddie's Cat)
Pato Magricelo Albino ok thanks for telling me that! That’s adorable
@@LucyWest370 Brian's cat was named Pixie
Senzyx is pixie the one in the video?
You know what's wrong with this world? I've never heard that song on radio.
Ja też nie / me too :'(
the world is full of songs who don't know what good music is
Maja Dudek ikr
😭😭😭😭
You've also never heard The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke on the radio, which is my favourite Queen song.
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.
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
Good music never dies. Queen Forever \o/
Ângela Balzan É sempre bom ver uns BRs aqui, traz alguma esperança :v
Krl br e ainda gremista coloquei fé dms (sou gremista tbm)

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.
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
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.
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..."
Another Brian May masterpiece... This was a band that was meant to touch Every Soul it encountered
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.
@@opiebluwsit9751Science🤓☝
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.
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
*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)
@@angelvu John retired and Freddie is deceased of Aids
Same
News of the World was the first album I ever owned on vinyl (in like 2007, mind you). After my childhood dog died in 2011, listening to this song allowed me to feel and release my grief in ways I wasn't able to otherwise.
In the beginning of 2023 I lost the woman I loved. I'm doing pretty well now, but every once in a while when I need to let it out, this song is here for me.
The way Brian sings the 'while' at 2:19 gets me everytime
My heart is melting
(Update) It just melted.
Same ;(
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
KANASAME same!
Yes, listen to their solo albums. Nothing is nearly half as good as Queen's
KANASAME roger*
I'm in love with my car?
Marcus Hayes that is still Queen song. I meant solo where bri and rog and even freddie sang outside of the group, a solo album
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.
This song is so underrated
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.
This made me cry harder than I've ever cried. And to hear that this was Brian singing this? Woah..
•Jewel Robichaux• I can barely make it through, the subject hits so hard
man I cried , love this song to the bottom of my heart.
I remember getting News of the World for Christmas in '77. I was 12 and just finding my way into music. The rest of the album impressed me, but this song hit me hard. I just about wore the grooves out of that album.
« 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
This song also good for eyes.
I'm crying and laughing at the same time now
I lost my little guy, my best friend for almost 19 years, a week and a half before this past Christmas. This has become my most listened to Queen song since.
This song makes you plunge into Brian's sadness and feel his pain. This is the power of music and song
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 )
brian has a beautiful voice! He could duet with freddie if he was her :(
This is by far the saddest Queen song out there. So deep, so powerful, so meaningful. Still sends shivers down my spine
what about no one but you?
What about "Mother Love"?
body’s aching all the time
@@sacreligiousoperafangirl good bye every body
@@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 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.
QUEEN FOREVER!
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
This is the robot of the album News of the World
Crafteur Du75 We are the Champions is on that album.
2dashville
the name was “Frank the robot”
Upvoting for “birbs” alone lol
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.
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
This song makes me remember my ex-girlfriend former cat, she decided to return him because he was clawing all her stuff, and when she did, I broke down in tears completely, because I couldn’t bring him home since I live with my parents. I still miss that little furry black dude a lot... Everytime I sat on the couch he jumped on it and sat on my lap to be cuddled. I love you, Zyon, and I am so sorry I couldn’t bring you with me 😭
She doesn’t sound very affectionate.
@@57yearoldjamesbond she wasn’t. AT ALL. Once I broke up with her I felt a huge relief.
Furniture > cat 🤷
@@braydenj1327 cats > people like you.
News of the World has to be one of the most eclectic albums ever released. From the aggressive punk of "Sheer Heart Attack" to the bluesy "Sleeping on the Sidewalk," to "Who Needs You" with its Latin maraca theme, the complete raw weirdness of "Get Down Make Love," this incredibly sad ballad sung by Brian, and the lounge lizard finale "My Melancholy Blues..." And who had ever written a song like "We Will Rock You" before that? They really pulled out all of the stops on this album.
Such beauty
Brian’s voice is so gentle and empathatic
Great lyrics as well
Superb
Pixie is now my favorite member of Queen.
I am crying hearing this for the first time, the lyrics so simple and tunes so calm, because I'm thinking of my gone kitty son, I don't believe he's gone...
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.
“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
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
I was thinking in my late beloved cat Yin Yang and wanted to hear this song, but I wasn't expecting this video. It's really beautiful. Now I'm crying almost as hard as when she passed away, but... it also makes me feel better, because this remember me she'll live forever in my heart ("of course I don't believe you're dead and gone")... thanks, Mr. May, for putting what I felt into words and perfectly matching music for the occasion. Also thanks the video makers to elevate this masterpiece to a corresponding visual level.
I listened to this song over and over after my older brother died. When we were kids, he and I made a $5 bet about "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions". I said they were one song with two parts. I didn't know enough about music to call them "movements". As they were always played back-to-back on the radio when the song debuted (and still are usually), I figured the second part was like a lyrical response to the first song. Years later, sports fans would make that observation by singing "We Will Rock You" to taunt their rivals, and "We Are the Champions" in declaration of victory. Of course, my brother had it in the bag before we even made the bet. He'd been to the department store previously and saw the 45 (For younger readers of this comment, a single used to be released on a small record with a quarter-sized hole in the middle that spun at 45 rotations per minute or "RPMs".) To settle the bet, we had to go to that same department store, our mother obliging. When we got to the store, my brother went right to the single, showed me the songs' titles on opposite sides of the record, and demanded payment. Five dollars was a fuck ton of money for an eight-year-old kid. For younger readers, a "fuck ton" is 2,000 pounds of sexual intercourse, measured by teaspoons of....nevermind. Anyway, he took my money, bought the 45 with it, and we listened to it over and over at home on the phonograph. For younger readers, you could not play 45s in a car. He would have had to buy the 8-track tape, which would have been silly since we didn't have an 8-track player in our car. I miss you, John. 30 years now you've been...all dead...and gone.
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)
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
ladys and gentleman...la voz de Brian May
1:57 that sound is just beautiful!
I love Brian’s voice
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
Fantastic video!!!
Bravo 👏👏👏
Who but Brian would imagine a chorus with a catchy "all dead" repeated often?
And it really works too. I love this song. Yet another favorite now.
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

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.

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
this is the most emotional song Ive ever heard, I cant listen to it without crying
My dog, Scotti, just passed away recently. Grown up with him. I can’t stop crying and it’s so hard to realise he’s gone. This song describes my feelings so perfectly.

``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"
