FIRST TIME HEARING - Queen - The Show Must Go On - REACTION

[@tplouffe9226]

This song is especially powerful because Freddie was dying at this point, he was suffering from AIDS for 4 years prior and his body was still deteriorating, and died, I believe, less than a year after recording this, but he still put his all into the performance, even though he could barely stand the day of recording it, he was warned by Brian May that it might be too hard of a vocal track, but Freddie downed a shot of vodka and sang with all his might in one take what you hear in the song, he destroyed his vocal chords but he didnt care, he just wanted to make sure the show goes on and he really put all of his effort into it, he is easily one of the bravest people ever, he didn't give a shit that he was dying, he was still pushing his body to the limit up until he was bed ridden. A really touching and emotional song is the last song he ever recorded, Mother Love, that is the last time he recorded his voice, but halfway through, he was getting tired, so he said he'll continue the track in a few days, but he never came back. He died before he could finish the song, so in the song, after the guitar solo, the lead vocals change, and it's Brian May, their guitarist, because Freddie had died at the point and the rest of Queen wanted to finish the song, even though they waited 4 years after Freddie's death to record it because of how traumatic his death was to them, he was their best-friend and band mate for over 20 years, and then he's just gone, which really took a toll on them emotionally amd mentally. But after a few years, they built up the will power to finish recording the song and it sends shivers down my spine every time i hear it because of the back story, and towards the end of the song, you hear a ghostly "Mother love, Mother love" echo away, and its Freddie's voice, and its so chilling because he's dead at that point. And the end of the song , I believe, is a very small section of every Queen song from the end of their career to the beginning, and at the very end, it fades into the first song Freddie ever recorded. It's crazy, the last song he ever sang on, ends with the first song he ever sang on.

It’s always crazy when people hear the stories behind the song

[@susanorchard1994]

Brian May wrote the song and was concerned Freddie couldn't sing it due to him getting more ill. He slammed down some vodka and said" I'll fucking do it, darling" and killed it in ONE take. Fact.

Freddie didnt sing the whole song in one take. The quote from Brian about this topic is about the chorus. FACT.

I am a 45 y/o huge Queen fan, and I LOVE watching you discover their music! I think this song resonates so much because the entire album, Innuendo, when Freddie was so ill from AIDS, and he knew it and his bandmates did too. If you listen to and watch the videos for this, I'm Going Slightly Mad, and These Are The Days Of Our Lives, you can not only see his frailty but his amazing showmanship and how he pushed through right up until the end of his life including that AMAZING voice! These Are The Days Of Our Lives is especially heartbreaking, but so incredibly beautiful and I would love to see you listen/watch the video for it.

"These are the days of our lives" was the last video Freddie recorded. He looked so bad I can hardly watch it. So sad.

[@shawnjesseman664]

@@amandab5941 I think he just really wanted to do it so he would have something to do, a reason to get out of bed in the morning because his body was becoming so weak. He really wanted to keep working for as long as he could. If you watch the video, he doesn't move around hardly at all and it's because he had a lesion on the ball of his foot. If you watch the behind-the-scenes footage of the making of that video, he limps really bad.

Innuendo is a special album (the last album where Freddie was still alive) and one of their best, even if it is hard to pick one over the other. As much as i like Show Must Go On, my favorite on the album is These Are The Days Of Our Lives, another bittersweet song that just grew and grew on me. You might not get same powerful reaction to it as Show Must Go On initially, but it's definitely one of the very best Queen songs IMO. Innuendo, the song (the last 4 Queen Albums had the same name as one of the tracks, 5 if you include Flash), is kind of like a 90s version of Bohemian Rhapsody, with epic features and multiple transitions. Definitely an experience.

[@bethtarbet6378]

Been requesting this song since his first Queen review. Most long time fans consider it a classic and favorite. But as you say it was never released as a single and it gets buried under a mountain of hits. MotBQ, and the whole black side of Queen 2, may be Queen's finest work.

And he went, 'I'll fucking do it, darling' - vodka down - and went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal."

Freddie was a TRUE artist. Like I’ve said before. Today’s artists (not all) are so interested in followers on Instagram, but would they tell bandmates to keep writing them songs to sing while they were dying? He told them to “release songs as long as you can after I’m gone.” He lost his vision, part of his foot... he was skeletal, and died not long after this was done. I hate being a downer but that’s not it. Like everyone else is saying, it’s amazing that he laid these vocals after downing some vodka, even though his throat was shot, and the guys doubted he could do it. He showed them, darling!

That song always helps me pick myself up when I feel crushed and depressed, it remainds me that even of I feel like I want to disappear from existence, I can't just give up on my life and throw everything away, Look at Freddie, he was singing this song with all he had even though he was dying. In the end, all I can say is that this is one of Queen's greatest songs.

[@melissacurtis7216]

He was dying of AIDS at this point. This song is haunting. Freddie Mercury forever. The best that ever was or ever will be.

[@sjoekiloeki]

The Show Must Go On must be one of their best songs, it's so beautiful and so strong!

[@BumKnuckle]

Wait until you hear Innuendo from the same album!

[@cassn8725]

I think this is my favourite song of Queens it's hard to say they have so many. But the feeling and pure range he sings is amazing The emotion he sings with and the message. I've listened to it so many times. It's so powerful every single time.

[@amandab5941]

This is my anthem. It's a constant reminder that no matter how hard life get, it isn't as bad as Freddie's was when he recorded this. He topped the Bill, he overkilled. He found the will to carry on and so must I. So I put on a smile and push through.

[@GutterBallEZ]

It breaks my heart every way. I cry every time I hear it, knowing how hard he was failing at the time. My God, he really was singing his heart out because he knew he was dying but the show really must go on. It's brutal and beautiful and it just breaks my heart. I love it so much. Queen is, was, and always will be my favorite. We didn't deserve Freddie Mercury, but I'm so glad we had him, even just for a while.

Please react to his vocals on Brian Mays song Who Wants to Live Forever

Peggy Henderson He’s already posted a reaction to that song

[@peggyhenderson3695]

Right my bad. I realized after I posted sorry

[@joegrumpy1268]

Hey bro. Congrats on your success. Every fan would give the world to listen to Queen for the first time. For some of us was 20, 30, 40 years ago. To relive that moment through you is priceless. So thank you sir. Don't you stop!

[@TraianusImperator]

He died of aids within weeks after this song was released. You also really should check Innuendo from Queen, my favorite song from them.

[@hermanjanssens9550]

thats called real music right from the heart,freddie wowowow

[@harpapmac]

Listen to you don't fool me and a winter's tale also

[@josephkeeter9648]

An amazing song by an amazing artist. He recorded this song at the end of his life. The record was finished in April of '91 and he died in November that same year. Dude was so weak he could barely stand but still belted this out. Amazing.

[@daleboxsell2805]

You should listen to Too Much Love Will Kill You from Made In Heaven it’s beautiful.

[@karenloyd8933]

Freddie wrote this song a bit before he left us, and for me this is almost like his own fight song. He's dying but he doesn't care, the show must go on. And on it goes forever. Fly high Freddie 😇💗

I love how you are so open to all music and especially my fave band Queen, i've been a fan since 1973 and saw them with Freddie seven times. You seem like a beautiful soul - keep the vids coming, stay awesome.

[@stephaniemoore8175]

Big fan of yours after seeing the react to queen vids. Ever listen to the original "We are the World" or anything by Styx like "Renegade" or "Come Sail Away"?

[@feekau42]

Queen was the first band i ever saw live back in the early 80's, Freddie was spectacular

Yes! Some classical music would be awesome!

[@bethburness8323]

It's wonderful seeing someone new appreciating the genius and legend that was Freddie Mercury. I don't know if you have been told but Freddie's vocal range was 4 octaves which is just insane but also his imagination which created these masterpieces with Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon. He was the ultimate showman on stage but a kind, warm and gentle soul off, it still breaks my heart that he is no longer around 😢😢

[@elliehd7]

The fact that he was very ill when recording this, and still sounded amazing, is absolutely mindblowing, there’ll only be one Freddie ❤️

[@CrownFamilyHQ]

its really amazing !

[@cheetarah9199]

Im not asking you do this on camera, that's just mean... But please listen again knowing the backstory. It's heartbreaking and even more spectacularly amazing at the same time. Spot the Freddie fan in the crowd!😜

[@elliehd7]

Cheetarah ??

[@spicey195]

The most epic song, he sang it when he was dying from Aids. His vocals don't miss a beat. He knew he was dying which makes the vocals all the more poignant. Makes me cry every time I listen to it. Epic song!

[@Roylevis]

"-Dear god, give us Freddie back to earth so he can continue spread his love. You can have Justin Bieber instead. Please"

[@karens2441]

My favourite Queen song, gets me every time, knowing what we know now. This song must have touched the bands hearts soooo much, “l’ll face it with a grin, I’m never giving in” and wow he fought til the end. Fantastic song ❤️❤️❤️ Love your reaction 🥰 xxx

You are, quite possibly, the best non biased music critic I have ever listened to. Keep it up. I am recommending you to all my friends.
