Lyrics:
Every drop of rain that falls
In Sahara Desert says it all
It's a miracle
All God's creations great and small
The Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal
That's a miracle
Test tube babies being born
Mothers, fathers dead and gone
It's a miracle
We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
The wonders of this world go on
The hanging Gardens of Babylon
Captain Cook and Cain and Abel
Jimi Hendrix to the Tower of Babel
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
The one thing we're all waiting for
Is peace on earth, an end to war
It's a miracle we need, the miracle
The miracle we're all waiting for today
If every leaf on every tree
Could tell a story that would be
A miracle
If every child on every street
Had clothes to wear and food to eat
That's a miracle
If all God's people could be free
To live in perfect harmony
It's a miracle
We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
(The wonders of this world go on)
Open hearts and surgery
Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting
Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
(The wonders of this world go on)
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
The one thing (the one thing)
We're all waiting for (we're all waiting for)
Is peace on earth (peace on earth)
And an end to war (an end to war)
It's a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle, peace on earth
And end to war, today
That time will come one day you'll see
When we can all be friends
That time will come one day you'll see
When we can all be friends
That time will come one day you'll see
When we can all be friends
That time will come one day you'll see
When we can all be friends
That time will come

Brian May said that this is his favorite of the songs that Freddie wrote… Because even tho Fred was aware of his terminal diagnosis at this time, the lyrics are so full of HOPE and OPTIMISM for the future.💕

[@CelcaReact]

amazing! :) was so interesting to watch, the only thing i not understood was why the drummer goes off beat, and they kept it? it is clearly happening at the end, im curious why they kept it, and why it happened, because i know they are professionals so it have to be there for some reason

[@gergelyszabo8961]

Reason: WHY NOT?! They have ears, so... It's eclectic, progressive etc. They've always tried new things in studio, like Beatles for example. Listen to the Seven Seas of Rhye ending as well. We don't have to analyze everything every time, they thought why not, and that's it. You over-reacted and over-analyzed it a bit (for like 5 minutes :))

@@CelcaReact because its queen lol ,it is its own genre

[@gabyy556]

There's nothing wrong with that song. It's a beautiful song and one of Queen's best videos.

[@CelcaReact]

i didn't say the song in general :) i said the rhyme, drum rhyme made a strange change where it sounded off beated :)

[@CelcaReact]

and also wanna point out that we both ALWAYS enhoy all Queen songs we have reacted to so far, and it is the same with this one, GREAT song! ty for your comment

[@slimshady27]

@@CelcaReact That's what I was thinking also, when I first heard the song. Queen were always good with music transitions, but this one sounded a bit weird

[@royvankan328]

For me the switch always felt symbolic. The fast section is like the dark side of life. And then you have the 2 different tempo's. It changes from dark to the happy, better world when the miracle happens: peace on earth and end to war.

[@igortokarski9517]

Same. I feel The same

[@pamysue]

Rest assured, at this point in his life, Freddie was still in the control room going over every single note and lyrics with a fine toothed comb. He was a perfectionist and their studio recordings are exactly as he wanted them. There are several Queen songs that seem to change genre as they go along. ✌💖😀

[@Danielik25]

I like this song full of hope for the future. Everyone has thought that The Miracle is the last album, because of Freddie ´s health. But after two years was born another great album Innuendo, the real miracle for Queen , top quality in all the ways

[@GwenCossin]

My guess is the chaos at the switch is intentional. A reflection of the times and how quickly harmony will come to us in the end.

[@kuntumlaleanqueezer]

That time will come one day you'll see, when we can all be friends…

[@worldtraveler3773]

In my opinion the switch sounds great and It's the best part of this song. Check out Love of my life Rock in Rio 85

[@kendallneason3645]

Queens video of Bohemian Rhapsody was the first. Other bands followed. So Queen is actually responsible for the music channels MTV and VH1 that show music videos. This song was written by Freddie. Read the lyrics and you’ll see why it’s amazing he wrote them as he was so I’ll. Take into account Freddie knew he was dying by then. This video won awards for best video for a song that year.

[@dixie3086]

It was fun and creative. That's it. It's Queen.

[@jennifertaylor6197]

Freddie joked about sending the boys on tour since he wasn't well enough. This was their 13th studio album. Mercury and Deacon co-wrote the chords in this complex song.

[@CelcaReact]

So cute! he was the best!

[@jazzlefettie]

I agree with you that the tempo switch sounds or feels wrong, to a musician. And I think you could be right that they put two songs together (Freddie had a habit of writing pieces in that way.) But I think it’s a critical part of this piece and was done very much on purpose. When you think about the message in the song and try to line it up with what was happening to Freddie and the world at the time, the off-balance nature of the song makes a lot of sense. Freddie and so many other people were dying from a tragic fatal disease while most people just kept trying to pretend it wasn’t happening and refused to do anything about. Even so, Freddie still had high hopes for himself and for the world. I’m sure it was an incredibly difficult time for him and much of the music he wrote during those years reflects that. This is one of those pieces.

[@peggyh8937]

That transition was definitely noticeable as you said. It sounded like a cross-fade to me done in the mix but I can't be certain. I looked in my book to see what I could find about the song and there was nothing about that transition. Queen are perfectionists so I have no doubt is was intentional. They did a nationwide search for those kids but were still surprised by how good they were. Freddie was quite ill at the time. They released the single in November of 1989 and joked about sending the kids out on tour for them. The recording of this album marked a change in the way that Queen credited their songs. They began crediting them as written by Queen rather than by individuals which took much of the stress out of recording and made it more fun for them because they would all get paid for the writing credits. This also meant that only the best songs made it on the record because they didn't have to worry about balancing the writing credits to create equal pay. I believe it was around this time when Freddie finally told the band he had AIDs but told them not to tell anyone. They reportedly would work for three weeks then take two weeks off so Freddie could rest and the others could do solo projects. In this way, they were able to continue to produce as much music as possible in the time Freddie had left. They were already working on their next album, Innuendo, before The Miracle was even released. Brian has said in documentaries that this time together was fun like the old days and they became very close and rallied around Freddie. Freddie seemed to need the music to get through this time and give him purpose to get up every day. By this time, the British press were camped out at Freddie's house night and day with their cameras trained on his bedroom/bathroom and checking every car that entered the driveway for medications so they spent much of their recording time in Switzerland so Freddie could have a break from the press and give him some peace.

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

Breakthrue and the Miracle is on the same album. Freddie grew his beard while making the album The Game which was released on June 30th, 1980, The Miracle was released on May 22th. 1989. It was their 12th album. Freddie made one more album before he died in 1991. After the Tribute Concert in 1992 the rest of the band made Made in Heaven with material Freddie left for them to finish.The last song Mother Love Brian had to sing the last verse because Freddie went home to rest - - he never returned. After Freddie died Brian wrote a last song No one but You (Only the good die young).

[@Bibiana862]

Yes, and there is a name for this, it’s called OFMD. “Obsessive Freddie Mercury Disorder” and there is no cure, because we don’t want one. Freddie was not just another singer, he is a feeling. Freddie gets into your heart and into your soul, and once he’s there he’s there forever. There is something so incredible about him that we don’t think of him as gone, because his presence is still very much alive. So your not alone, millions of people have the same disorder. If I’m going to have any kind of disorder this is the one I want. We genuinely love him

[@seangraham57]

They were the main words of this song 'Peace on Earth an End to War'

[@stargzer_nzm2239]

There's nothing wrong with the tempo and of course no mistake at all. It's just you're not familiar with this song and the way it changes to the final part.

[@andregauvin6822]

Nice reation ! Like that you are real and authentic thx

[@Sassypaws4927]

The idea for the song came from Freddie and bassist John Deacon, who wrote the basic chord structure for the song. All four contributed to the lyrics and musical ideas, and the song was still credited to the entire band, something they had agreed to do so during the album recording, regardless of who had been the actual writer. Even though this was recorded after Freddie's diagnosis of AIDS was revealed to the band and was recorded during Brian's marital issues, its beautiful perspective of the world made it one of the favorites for both Freddie and Brian. The song describes several of “God’s creations, great and small”, such as great buildings like the Taj Mahal and the Tower of Babel, all described as “miracles” in the song, yet the one miracle “we’re all waiting for” is “peace on Earth and an end to war.” The song also references such well-known figures as Captain Cook, Cain and Abel, and Jimi Hendrix. I strongly disagree with your assessment. This song is great!

[@patriciakent6728]

The miracle is in every little thing, always❤❤❤Freddie Forever

[@Galaxius2117]

Any song Queen released after 1986 was never played live, as Freddie didn't want to do any tours due to his declining health. This song in particular was released after 1986.

[@Furupanel]

Nice reaction again! I like that you review the song from a musician perspective. I have always thought there is something wrong with the time signatures etc in that transition bit. Its something with the pace of the vocals when that new beat comes in. Oh well. I have always liked the transition even though there might be an error there. And yes. This song is from the album "The Miracle" released in 1989. The "train song" also known as "Breahtru" is also from this album. :)

[@CelcaReact]

yes i agree it make it more unique, asking about a music "fail" dosen't have to be meant negative, i was more curious about it, because they was professional musicians so they knew it even better than me, and why ty for your comment! and request!

[@tommullenix9493]

Please do queen “was it all worth it “ 🔥🔥🔥🔥thanks boss

[@marvalstith2749]

I'm certain the youngsters are not heard playing at all. And I'm certain the change in tempo/mood was extremely purposeful...Life can immediately bring one a sense of tragedy....especially when the future b4 was glorious. That happened to Queen. This work by the Queen team is a brilliant composition, lyrically, musically and visually.EDIT: isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder?

[@Marco-Duck]

The rytm is ok, its a setback part, which is very strange in rock music. Frank zappa usually does it too.

[@CelcaReact]

very interesting, ty for sharing that info!

[@cdalex73]

there's not something wrong with the instruments off time with the sing. It's something made with will, the song is about the peace and the instruments represents the confusion the war all around and the word have seen as something to hope although all around is a mess!!

[@rebeccaquinn3287]

Queen changes tempo in their songs a lot. This is intentional and adds surprise in some songs and this one is emphasizing the message.

[@bukeksiansu2112]

Changing tempo, sound, or style in progressive rock (Queen sometimes falls into this category) is common.

[@topmandog1]

queen did it in loads of there songs

[@emitowww]

the final part its obviously made out of sync on purpose, thats not a mistake :D

[@mmaloneym]

Something went wrong with the switch in the recording. It was a lot smoother transition in all the other videos I’ve seen. Something glitched in this one. This song was on the second to last album Freddie did with Queen when he was still alive. He wasn’t well at all and they thought having the children would be fun. They had open auditions to find just the right kids. Freddie wrote this song and it’s amazing how he found miracles in everyday life while he was facing his own mortality.

[@andreasmith6528]

I know this was a while back, but yes, that last transition is very strange, but I've always taken it as a transition from chaos to harmony. I'm SURE it was intentional, although it does sound odd.

[@barrysiewert7386]

Love to hear your honest reactions…..keep ‘em coming.

[@lisaargyrou1488]

Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️ imagine how much more beautiful songs Freddie would have written if only he had more time ❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

This video is really cute and the hidden message in the lyrics is wonderful, our world needs more miracles. These kids were so talented, the mini Freddie's name is Ross McCall he became an actor. It's always interesting watching to musicians' reactions, listening to their opinions.

[@CelcaReact]

ty for telling, the "mini" queen did a good job! :)

[@igortokarski9517]

Rumour has it, Queen wanted to send these kids once on tour to promote The Miracle album Correct me if I'm wrong

[@geraldlloyd-brown7106]

I love this song but must agree that the transfer sounds a little weird but I think it depicts the trouble in the world then the hope comes in again 😊

[@lisaargyrou1488]

Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️ liked already subscribed 😁 more queen reactions please 😍 Death on two legs 👑 that's Freddie at his most vicious 😂❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️

[@Sloppylicious]

It's a music video. The kids had nothing to do with the recordings. The Album is called after the song and it was released as a single. There's surely no mistake made.

[@Jagangela]

not really weird but noticeable!

[@anamarquez4939]

To be honest, I´ve always wondered about that switch of tempo too

[@CelcaReact]

glad im not the only one! but just make it more unique!

[@GwenCossin]

Impossible to replicate

[@Furupanel]

As you are a good bassplayer yourself I have a request that hope you will like. John Deacon is a really underrated member of Queen. There is a song called "The Fairy Fellers master stroke" that has an amazing bassline. The original song is obviously the best, but to make the bass come through better I would like you to react to a guy who covers it on bass. Really makes the bass shine. He plays over the original: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaSbe3SPga2lr6c

you to are great

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

You should find the texts on the internet before you hear the songs - - as a dane I can not catch the lyrics - I have a book about Queen and their songs.Though some of them are not to be understood - it is up to the listener - and the experience listening to the songs.

[@brachapontecorvo]

This is really hilarious. This boy doesn't know much about music. He calls the most beautiful part of the song “wrong”. It's genius how the fade out of the song disappears into the outro and connects the two parts. Of course you can not like this, but to start shouting that there is a mistake in the song and then start a whole story about you not understanding it and that they must have heard it themselves… Of course they heard it! It’s the arrangement of the song and it is brilliant. This is what music is all about.

[@topmandog1]

one of queens things is a tempo and other muscial switch, they do it in most there songs, your opnion on it seems weird and you seem obessed with it, to the point your gf or whoever has to tell you to continue the song

[@sanman42]

Wong in the swicht themes?? please listen again without thinking that you are forced to show a reaction. The song it's perfect. The final mix is intencional.

[@jeremydubin858]

I don't know why you got so hung up on the transition at the end of the song. It was 130% on purpose. Even back then studios could record on multiple tracks...you fade one out and you fade the other in. Sheesh. 99.9999999% of the world: "Thats brilliant!" You: "The drummer must have made a mistake."

[@stephenhammond8763]

clean your ears out

[@pamela1338]

Not fun to see. Not even a fair copy. There will Never be another QUEEN! No one will ever be or replicate FREDDIE. Nobody will ever have the same Magic! I personally saw QUEEN many times Live, with Freddie and sadly without Freddie.

Is it Cream or Queen?
