[@justsomeonewhopopsupeveryw1444]

Killer Queen yeah I know for someone who’s about 27-28 years old that’s pretty damn good

[@pattydella4]

Killer Queen.....yeah the harmonies are amazing. Roger was awesome! What magic they all made together!

P Walsh They had a Kind of Magic when they were together.

[@Yungblut]

At 1:36 Freddie and Roger start with the "ahhhs" but it's at 1:45 when Brian adds another harmony that you get that classic Queen vocal texture. Loved it

[@reelgirl8544]

Brian's voice is warm and smooth, like cognac and velvet.

[@johnsketcher1106]

What if john deacon too? If it happens My ears will be healed Deaf people can listen to this

[@kingkazoo2349]

John just standing watching his bros singing together

[@PoninesRegen]

If you wanna be exact the harmony builds because Brian starts singing but also because Freddie stops singing the melody an octave under roger and starts harmonizing instead. But I'm just being nitpicky 😅😁

[@ariamcfiction]

Queen is the reason why my standards in liking a rock band is high 😂 Queen is the absolute standard!💙

[@Gr8Layks]

Mercury’s voice is astounding, but I actually like it more when May sings this song.

The most amazing thing about this performance is Roger's falsetto harmony in the middle 8. When it turns out the drummer in the band can pull off a note like that, everyone else may as well give up.

[@savage_shrimp]

chris4072511 like a comment i read on another queen video, you know the band is good when the drumer sings better than the average singer

[@mickavellian]

Hi I am Roger and I play drums .. Yeah Yeah son .. Oh and I can hit THIS note ...... HIIIIIIIIIII AHHHHHH (dogs are barking in Croatia)

[@ElleCee62978]

Is that a B that Roger hits?

I hate to tell you this but it was pitch corrected to sound like he hit the note but in reality he didn’t😕

[@avpaavcomics1299]

Freddie and Roger's falsettos are killing me. Plus I don't understand why people say this song is better when sung by Brain. Both Freddie and Brian present different versions of this song. Brian's is a sad and smooth version. Freddie has a energetic and repenting version.

[@grabble7605]

"Repenting"...It's not even a song about repentance. And it's MEANT to be sad and smooth. That's how Brian wrote it. So yes, his is better.

[@thunderclaws3341]

Lyrics for all Queen Fans: In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers In the days when lands were few Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn The sweetest sight ever seen And the night followed day And the story tellers say That the score brave souls inside For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you Write your letters in the sand For the day I take your hand In the land that our grandchildren knew In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue The volunteers came home that day And they bring good news of a world so newly born Though their hearts so heavily weigh For the earth is old and grey, little darling, we'll away But my love this cannot be For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand In the land that our grandchildren knew Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand For my life Still ahead Pity me
