The emotion you hear is real, this was Freddie’s last vocal recording

[@bassvibasics479]

Considering how frail Freddie was at the time of recording this take, the sound he makes is borderline miraculous. And I can never hear this without my eyes welling up. Every damn time.

[@carlajimenez5483]

Freddie was so sick Brian had to sing the last part. RIP Freddie ❤️

[@joshgrant-ti4xk]

He died before he could finish

[@slimshady27]

Freddie was feeling so weak, that he told Brian that he'll finish it later. But unfortunately, he died before he could finish it

[@bluebell3720]

​@@joshgrant-ti4xk I think he chose not to. He did the video for days of our lives after the recording session for mother love

[@linogalveias]

@@bluebell3720 that video was in May 1991, Mother Love was his last recording around early november before Freddie left Montreux for good... and Freddie could only sing a few lines at each time helped with shots of vodka....

[@candilumpkin1196]

This song always makes me so sad. 😢😢 Freddie last vocals. And the last verse he sang, I long for peace before I die. To know that’s the last verse he ever recorded just hits hard. And that Brian had to finish the song because he was to sick that he never made it back to the studio. It makes me cry every time I hear it.

[@Lakeshore14]

No one like Freddie. He and Queen gave us so much great music. R.I.P. Freddie. 🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@clarenceflam]

This song makes me very emotional and that last verse chills me as it is Brian May the guitarist who had to complete the final vocals as Freddie was too sick to return to finish the track. The very last moment where you hear the music speed out is all of their songs being played backwards in time to the baby crying. Very very emotive. These final vocals were laid down in May of 1991 and the same time period when Queen recorded their final video for These are the days of our lives.

[@iangrant3615]

The fact he sings 'I long for peace before I die' and he knew he was about to die, and did pass away just a few months later, is so impactful. The whole atmosphere of this song is spine-tingling. Rest in peace to Freddie.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

GUYS.... THANK YOU, so much for reacting to this!!! This is one of my favorite songs, it's so beautiful and REAL. I know a lot of folks "don't like" it because it's so SAD - and it IS - but I just find it so meaningful... Freddie sang with his ENTIRE SOUL until the very last minute... and then the fact that Brian went back (seven years later, I think) to finish it for us, is such a testament to their friendship.

[@blakepowers777]

Hearing Freddie’s last lyrics break my heart. I miss him soooo much. He was so brave at the end of his life…🥂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@elkevera]

When you hear Brian, Freddie is already gone.

[@janiceduke1205]

It's the improvised callout to the crowd that later came to define almost every legendary Queen concert. What started as an improvised interaction with the crowd at a Queen concert in Montreal during 1978, "Ay-Oh!" became a hallmark of their most momentous performances. Who can forget their 20-minute set at Live Aid in 1985, when Freddie Mercury had the entire 80,000 strong crowd inside Wembley Stadium within the palm of his hand? Roger on Freddie: "For 20-odd years, I had the best seat in the house, watching the best front man in the world."

[@awezman]

The end of the song features parts of every Queen song ever recorded played in reverse on a tape machine.

[@nickquantrill985]

This is THE last song Freddie sang on. Brian sings the last verse because Freddie was too ill to come back and finish it.❤️😢

[@headrushindi]

I think in these last days Freddie was giving us a glimpse into his soul. Its bittersweet, beautiful, and haunting all at the same time.

[@penderyn8794]

I think Freddie dies before it's finished

[@imweakfordeaky]

Freddie was too exhausted to continue and said “I’ll finish it the next time I come to the studio” - and never came back. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he died in Nov 1991 without finishing the song. When going through the vocals tracks recorded during these final sad months to assemble the posthumous Queen album Made In Heaven a couple of years later, Brian recorded the final verse. The switch to Brian singing the last part shatters my heart every time, *knowing* that Freddie was gone - he gave everything he had until he simply couldn’t do it any more. What a beautiful, brave Legend he was ! Freddie Mercury 1946- 1991… and to ♾ infinity

[@woahblackbettybamalam]

No Freddie died before it was completed

[@bettybaby63]

💔💔💔💔 Freddie & Brian had an amazing collaborative genius.

[@philipgolia9803]

There is so much to that song that is so meaningful. First, Freddie was very sick when they were recording it. He said he would be back in the morning to finish the vocals. That was the last time he was in the studio as he soon passed. The final verse of Mother Love was Brian May (as Freddie never made it back to finish). Then the all the music samples you hear was every Queen song, a small sample, played very fast. Then the "Think I'm Goin Back" verse is the first verse ever recorded/released by Freddie as Larry Lereux, followed by a baby crying to represent the birth of Freddie. It is a very emotional Queen song once you know the history of it.

[@debramoore7513]

Omg!! 😭😭😭😭 Gosh, I miss Freddie!! His birthday is September 5th 🎂🎉🥂🍾

[@jpw6893]

Considering how sick he was, could barely stand (most of his foot had gone), often losing his sight, a skeleton but his soul, will power and voice were still strong.

[@christophersmith2793]

Mother Love from the album Made In Heaven, released in 1995 after Freddie’s death in 1991, written by Freddie and Brian May, Freddie recorded 2 out of 3 verses before becoming to sick to continue to record, so Brian May recorded the final verse himself later,Freddie’s vocals are impressive considering he was at deaths door while recording the first to verses , Freddie is surely missed, great reaction thanks for

[@mikecheck7480]

Fun fact: the edit of sounds at the end of the song (6:10 mark) is a snippet of every Queen song recorded put together and sped up.

[@terrigabriel582]

Freddie and Opera singer Montserrat Caballe " How Can I Go On " is so Captivating 🙏

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

BTW Guys, That verrrrry LAST line at the end: "I think I'm going back....." etc, was Freddie singing: "GOIN' BACK" under the name LARRY LUREX, c. 1973-74 (I'm not sure of the year) It's a REALLY LOVELY song!! (And it's another example of how Fred could make his voice sound COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.)

[@penderyn8794]

Last song by Queen with Freddie. The last verse was sung by Brian as Freddie was either on his deathbed or had died.

[@bluebell3720]

Freddie did the video for days of our lives after the recording session for ML

[@lindawallace3065]

The last verse was sung by Brian as Freddie was too I’ll to finish the song❤️🎼❤️🇬🇧

[@Sassypaws4927]

“Mother Love” was the final song co-written by Freddie and Brian, and was also Freddie’s last-ever vocal performance. Freddie’s vocals for "Mother Love" were recorded between 13-16 May 1991. On his website, Brian discussed the writing process he and Freddie had (writing both separately and together and being conscious of the nature of the song and the lyrics). Upon reaching the final verse, Freddie told Brian that he had to go and “have a rest”, but that he would return later and finish it. After that, Freddie never made it back to the studio, and thus Brian sang the last verse of the track. Freddie passed away on November 24, 1991.

[@thomasord8636]

This was his last recorded song before he died. Infact, he didn't finish. Brian sang last verse. I believe the the song was about Freddy longing for comfort from his suffering...to be safe and loved. And, acceptance of his fate. Hauntingly beautiful. The end was every Queen recording, bits, run through high speed. I would have loved to see them live too. Although, I did see Brian open for guns n roses in 93. 🙂

[@sherryheim5504]

This was Freddie's very last song but he was not able to complete it so Brian finishes the final verse. Brian would not let anyone else touch this song after Freddie's death because he said he knew exactly what Freddie wanted. When the others felt strong enough to do so, they went back into the studio and finished this song for Freddie. This is such a beautiful song and I can so understand how if you knew you were close to the end of your life, coming to the grave understanding that you had it all wrong, all along. It was never about all the things you thought you wanted or needed, it was all about feeling the pure and unconditional love that you would have felt as a child from your mother. Love always was the only true answer and yet we searched for it in all the wrong ways. This song tosses me back and forth between goosebumps and tears. Thank you for your reaction

[@Piotrek_z_Vratislaviiii]

It's masterpiece about the strongest emotional connection in human.

[@TonyM1961]

You might be thinking about their performance at Wembley Stadium for Live Aid where Freddie goes off on what can only be described as a prolonged scat and has the audience so much in the palm of his hand that they are doing everything he does (or at least trying because nobody can truly mimic Freddie)

[@candilumpkin1196]

He does it in other shows too

[@tylerhackner9731]

Rip Freddie

[@Jamienomore]

What a Singer Freddie was. Mother Love from the album Made in Heaven, released in 1995 after Freddie Mercury's death in 1991. It was written by Mercury and Brian May. Mercury recorded two out of three verses before becoming too sickly to continue recording, so May recorded the final verse himself later. First Class Reactions.

[@petersconrad3917]

Queen's last recording with Freddie. Brian May had to sing the last verse, Freddie didn't make it to sing the last verse. Freddie's voice still powerful right to the last second of his life. Sad 😢. But he is in a better place right now with our Lord's mercy. Stay safe Freddie. You're still missed by your fans and the new generation. ❤

[@RexorgenOnavi]

David Richards sound engineer of the Swiss recording studios Mountain Studios told how Freddie Mercury sang the song Mother Love. recorded the song just him and a drum machine and also said that he was dying and was in the recording room!

[@pattym444]

I’m sure others have probably mentioned this but you really need to react to Queen at Live Aid 1985. Their 20 minute segment is considered the best “concert” of all time. It is legendary and shows the true charisma and crowd control of Freddie ❤

[@zuzauramek9850]

That was Freddy's last song. He was tired and was supposed to finish later. When you hear Brian after the guitar solo Freddy had already died and Brian finished the song he wrote for Freddy because Freddy wanted to record the songs as long as he can. He did not want to focus on that he dies . So everyone wrote for him songs.

[@toddfeather5760]

2:12 most spine chilling bit of singing by Freddie who was on deaths door at this point RIP to legend have you seen live aid performance in 1985

[@bjw0515]

As said before, this was Freddie's last song that he worked on and Brian had to finish it. They put final touches on it after he had passed. Might want to check out Tie Your Mother Down or Now I'm here for a more upbeat song live at Wembley.

[@nylonspider1122]

Queen at Live Aid .. everyone remembers them ... but it was ...Status Quo ... that opened the day and they nailed it ... see how the crowd Luv them ... Status Quo - Don’t Waste My Time (Live Aid 1985) ... Play it loud ! ... it won't waste your time ... Ha Ha

[@ewaolszewska669]

I was in Montreux a week ago. I was standing in the place where Freddie recorded this song and his last vocal. I saw the yellow jacket and the microphone where he sang for the last time.I cried like a little baby,great but sad experience. RIP Freddie 😭❤️

[@shannonnieto172]

This was the last song he was singing on when he was actually dying. He didn’t get to finish it. It’s so magical.

[@eddie623]

You two just don't know the word failure thanks for making my evening once again 👍

[@christineirving4491pluviophile]

As others have said, this was Freddie's final recording. Apparently, after laying down the first verse Freddie had said that he was tired so he'd go home to rest and would return later. Unfortunately, later never came and Freddie passed before he could complete the track. Hearing Brian's voice after the bridge never fails to bring me to tears, because we knew that our dear Freddie had lost his battle.

[@kryptotransit]

This recorded in late May 1991, the story goes that Freddie said he needed to rest and he would finish it later... unfortunately he never came back to finish it.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

Guys, Another song you need to react to: “Face It Alone” Official LYRIC video This NEW song was released by Queen in October 2022 and immediately went to Number 1… in 21 countries! (The song came from recordings of Freddie during Queen’s 1989 recording sessions… the original recordings were just of Fred improvising during a jam session. Queen’s tech people were able to “rescue” his voice singing the rough verses, so that the song could be finished.) There’s also an official music video, but I honestly think the official LYRIC video is BETTER for a first-time listen.

[@_PuckFutin_]

The last song Freddie Mercury recorded, "Mother Love" is part of Queen's last album. It was written by Mercury and Brian May. Mercury recorded two out of three verses before becoming too sick to continue recording, so May recorded the final verse himself later. You should also listen "The Show Must Go On"

[@maliabrown4390]

The title reminded me of one of the greats. Mother's Finest! Baby Love is the song. One of the best black rock groups ever!!!

[@lisaargyrou1488]

Wow 😯 beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️😭😭😭😭😭

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

“He still had astonishing power in his lungs at that point, I really don’t know where it came from. During the recording of ‘Mother Love,’ he starts low and gentle, but Freddie chose to push himself and go higher. We looked at each other and knew there was a mountain to climb. That’s when the vodka really went down. He said, 'I will hit these notes.’ And he did. He soars to incredible heights, and this is a man who can’t really stand anymore without incredible pain and is very weak, you know, has no flesh on his bones , and you can hear the power, the will that he’s still hot. It was a wonderful performance.” - Brian May

[@bletheringfool]

It was heavy alright, he passed away about 6 months after he recorded this but became to ill too record any more. He had intended to come back but unfortunately it never happened. It was eventually released on the Made In Heaven album from 1995

[@dianecourtney2724]

For Freddie’s most ardent fans … like me… this song is the one that makes us cry. Miss darling Freddie 😓💛

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

SO..... at 3:18, that last "Mother love, aha" were the last-ever words that Freddie sang. After that verse, he told Brian he needed to leave and go rest, and that he'd come back to the studio another time to sing the last verse... but he never did. Seven years later (I think it was seven years) Brian sang the last verse to finish the song.

[@peaceofiona9198]

In fact it was 4 years. Freddie's last sessions were in May 1991 and Made in Heaven was released in late 1995

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

@@peaceofiona9198 Oh, THANK YOU... I just couldn't remember/should've taken the time to stop/look it up. THANKS!! (I think I was getting 1997 mixed up with the last time that John Deacon played live with Brian & Roger.)

[@carrieoverby7594]

They combine at the end with samples of Mercury's famous 'deh-doh!' vocal interludes with the crowd from Live at Wembley 1986, the synth intro to "One Vision," and a sample from his very first single, "Goin' Back" in 1972, which he performed vocals on under the pseudonym of Larry Lurex. In the context of the song it is obviously meant to show the cyclical nature of life and death, and a man looking back across the entire spectrum of his life and career.

[@scottvanhille5688]

Freddie did a good job with his slow songs in his career. This one was good.

[@stuartryan610]

If you want to get a real taste of Queen I think you need to listen to their first two albums especially. Some say they are not essential listening but if you take those albums you can see the setup was in place for A Night At The Opera in 1975 and from which Boh Rhap comes from. By contrast on the same album a track Called The Prophets Song shows just how their multi track vocal work really is their trademark but also as Brighton Rock in 74 launched the guitar solos the prophets song is like a vocal Brighton Rock with multi repeats like the solos. Check it and hear just how good they were going to be. KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE, MARCH OF THE BLACK QUEEN, THE WHITE QUEEN...... Go for it 👍

[@The1queencollector]

The last song you can here is "Goin Back" the first single Queen released as "Larry Lurex", I believe they used that name as a micky take of "Gary Glitter" but we wont go there.

[@neillenet291]

These were the last vocals that freddie mercury ever recorded

[@aimlessbauer9082]

Brian's wife said Freddie told her "I'll die when I can't sing anymore". I think that's why he went off his medication and died about a week later. He lost his voice and I think it was his best friend.

[@relevantbrother8964]

Queen were a great singles group. This is more about a sad and poignant moment in their history rather than the song as a standalone composition.

[@wordsleydave]

The last song he ever recorded ..... he was sick to finish it so Brian May weighed in to sing the last verse.

[@keithwalton7922]

Freddie said to the band I can't do anymore today,I will come back and finish it.......he never did,that's why Brain sings the last verse.Sad doesn't begin to describe it.

[@FaTa-bd3uw]

[@donwest5387]

you want to kiss his voice

[@TransamJc]

Mary Austin probably who this song was about. He loved her more then anyone else.

[@brucedillinger9448]

There are probably others but I can only think of Freddie, David Bowie and Warren Zevon who, even after knowing that they were dying, continued to create and record music (and life!). RIP gentlemen! You are missed and appreciated. ✌

[@drummom97]

Love me some Queen

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you'll love their "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" !!!

[@dangerosa01]

Last recorded song by Freddie. He promised to finish the song another day, but he never could came back to the studio, so brian had to finish it. Most saddest song ever for me

[@marblackCanada]

Freddie was dying this song was written by Brian who had to sing the last verse because Freddie did not come back to the studio.

[@paoloruberto1277]

The last song freeddie lives

[@stuartryan610]

The studio clips in the final bit are One Vision and the opening guitar from 1974 track Tie Your Mother Down. The call and response Freddie did around the world.

[@davidsayers9772]

Freddie couldn't finish this song, he got too tired and went home. Unfortunately that was the last time he was in the studio. Brian had to finish the vocal.
