FIRST TIME HEARING THE MIRACLE BY QUEEN - reaction video!

[@LinkRocks]

"That time will come, one day you'll see, when we can all be friends." Such a simple, but beautiful line. I always loved that ending.

[@pedrorodriguez2755]

Its from "Friends will be friends" that ending part.

[@dsc4u]

My fav line as well, with that guitar giving you the last hope of happiness…

[@barrysiewert7386]

Love your in-depth reactions…. You might want to check out early Queen that showcases the whole band called Liar at the Rainbow. ( my all time favorite is White Queen at Odeon Hammersmith).

[@jerrypetrole4604]

Great choice Doe!!! Another very happy Queen song!! It makes me cry too :) I think you'd love the Days Of Our Lives documentary. Speaking of... the song "Those are the days of lives" is another tear jerker from Innuendo.... As for my favorite video... It's a Hard Life is wonderful for it's visuals and costumes. Great song too.

[@2xxNorMacKxx2]

Just imagine performing on stage and Freddie Mercury comes up behind you and puts his arm around you. Those four kids became legends that day.

[@kevinhendon]

Ross McCall is a British actor best known for his roles as T-5 Joseph Liebgott in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers and Matthew Keller in the hit series White Collar, as well as the role of 'kid' Freddie Mercury in the music video for the Queen single "The Miracle".

[@marvinhull4934]

Not sure if you noticed when Freddie hugs mini-Freddie near the end of the video. I think that was entirely spontaneous, and such a precious moment to capture on film! Really heartwarming. Great reaction, Doe! (from Lise Hull)

[@DoeDarling]

I loved that bit, so adorable

[@vitormachado4877]

This clip always gives me goosebumps Brian May himself years later said that this was one of Freddie Mercury's most beautiful works

[@fryke]

The kids were chosen so well, and given perfect choreographical instructions. It never looks like synchronized dancing either, it just looks like you have to size-versions of each person on stage in the end part. Plus the song's quite beautiful as well. Should've just watched it a second time - or rather just listened to it. The song went a bit under, which is perfectly understandable for a first viewing, of course. :)

[@DoeDarling]

Yes exactly! They were amazing! Yeah I gave it another listen to really appreciate the music as I realised the video had distracted me somewhat

[@bastardsecretaryfromhell3504]

The Miracle is the absolute best Queen video ever. Watching it you just have to smile. Brian once said it is one of his favourite Queen songs because the lyrics and melody are so beautiful yet Freddie who wrote it was in pain and knowing the end was coming. There‘s a making of the miracle btw. Loved your reaction. ❤️

[@LMTino]

Packs a wallop of a message in a sweet package. Constraints around Freddie's health provided new venues for creativity. Agree that the John-Freddie combo is something special.

[@barrys1342]

Freddie was a beautiful person ❤️

[@nrsvlda70]

Thank-you for discussing what the words to this song meant.. the video is amazing, and the kids were great. But.. Freddie was making a point, as he very often was!!

[@DoeDarling]

Yes beyond the video is a very beautiful song

[@NABIL7]

You made a wonderful reaction. Long live Queen.

[@DoeDarling]

Thank you :)

[@davidburn4601]

So many Queen songs have an important message for all of us. From Liar, and Son and Daughter on Queen I, Father to Son and The Loser in the End on Queen II, White Man on A Day at the Races, It's Late on News of the world, and so on and on and on (way too many to itemise here), for every album up to this fabulous track, then The Show Must Go On, and the absolutely epic Innuendo. Listen to the lyrics of pretty much every and any Queen song, and there will be something in there to reflect on. And their music and musicianship speaks for itself - how blessed are we to have lived in their time and experienced their genius!

[@debramoore7513]

OMG!! ☺️ Such a great & adorable video!! Brian commented that he thought this was one of Freddie’s finest compositions! “But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling … it’s a miracle”. 😁💝💐🌿💐

[@DoeDarling]

That's great Bri speaks so highly of it, I think it's fab too!

[@tt-du6vc]

The ending is very touching. One of Freddie’s best songs.

[@DoeDarling]

I agree, the end really got me

[@maxpower3698]

The kids auditioned via the Queen Fan Club back in the day as it were, & apparently Freddie asked if they could go on tour instead of themselves which is very poignant considering the video was shot in November 1989

[@DoeDarling]

These are the days was played at my grandmother's funeral, always makes me cry that one!

[@gen81465]

Over 6000 kids auditioned for this. All of them had to be able to sing and play the instruments. The young Freddie Mercury was Scottish actor Ross McCall.

[@stevenhayes859]

The video was so well done! Quintessential Queen. The kids did a superb job.

[@ArKa_47]

I cry every time when I watch this beautiful video.. The lyrics ofc are great 🥲

[@remastered-00-pl]

The kids replicating Queen in this MV is THE CUTEST THING EVER. Who agree? 👇

[@TheGrimhilde]

my favourite videos of Queen would be 'I'm going slightly mad', 'you don''t fool me' as well as 'heaven for everyone'. freddie's solo: 'love kills' :)

[@celticpoet21]

Adorably priceless! Those kids playing the band members were so lucky! I loved it when the real band members came out standing beside the kids like proud daddies! I love the little mini-tour of the different styles and looks Freddie took on over Queen's history. The long hair and the harlequin catsuit in the early to mid 70's up till '77, the leather biker look in the late '70s, the iconic 1985 Live aid look, and the yellow military jacket he wore after. Brian and Roger did a series of music audio commentaries some years ago and their talk about the Miracle was too cool and hilarious. Brian has often said that of all the songs Freddie wrote, "The Miracle" is his favorite, such a beautiful, positive message when Freddie's life is taking a tragic turn. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bni5aWVvr9yjeM0

[@DoeDarling]

like proud dads exactly! it was so cute

[@susaneuliano7692]

What a superb concept to incorporate young and adult versions of the band. Totally magical. It's a "Miracle".

[@aponcapone]

If only in todays world the text in this song was true....😢

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

Great song, great idea, great video, Queen was a Miracle. The mini Freddie, ie. Ross McCall became an actor.

[@debramoore7513]

Hey Doe!! Freddie’s lyrics include mentioning Test Tube babies …. So I did some research and the scientist who created test tube fertilization (so to speak) is British! The first test tube baby was born in 1978! Ross MCall (Freddie) is a Scottish actor who played in the pop series Band Of Brothers! He also dated Jennifer Love-Hewitt (Ghost Whisperer)… fun fact!

To me it's the perfect answer to all those Michael Jackson and "stars for whatever" "let's all care for the world" type songs, because it succeeds, where basically all other attempts have too high an amount of cringe. This has no cringe, it's simply perfection for that message.

[@philfitnesspt6139]

Why are those songs cringe? They carry a important message I see nothing cringe in trying to inspire people to make the world a better place. Strange comment.

[@fryke]

@@philfitnesspt6139 it‘s not the message that‘s cringe. It‘s the style. Don‘t try to actively misunderstand.

Watched this 1987 in the GDR on West German Tv.....which we weren’t supposed to watch......and I fell in Love , being a Kid myself, with the “Cute Girl” in the Video.......when my Best Friend told me later when I talked to him about the Video “ Florian, that is a Boy”....a little bit Confusion for that 8 year Old East German!😄 The BlackWhite Bodysuit outfit....with the Long Hair.....was a Girl for me when I watched it first. Became a Huge Queen Fan back then......I love the first Guitar Solo from Brian May here. 3:38

The bass section of deaky, the drum section of Roger, the guitar solo of Brian, the voice of freddie, the entire song is perfect, according to Brian freddie said that's the best song that he write

I dont know if you already listen to Queen - Motherlove get your tissues ready… its the most spinechillin Queen song ever (maybe the “heaviest” if you heard the song you know.. )

[@stuartryan610]

It's a very clever video. Clearly the illness was slowing Freddie down by this time but the idea worked because it wasn't trying to be a parody. Queen were crowned band of the 80s. At the ceremony you could see Freddie was in decline.

[@malcolmpeacock2484]

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

DOE, You made me Weepy In A Good Way💕 Brian has said that this is his favorite of all the songs that Freddie wrote... because at the time that Fred wrote it, he was aware of his terminal diagnosis... and yet, the lyrics are so POSITIVE and HOPEFUL.💕 ALL of the different Little Freddies were played by the SAME young actor. (Someone else will say what his name is... I always forget!) I REALLY NEEDED these Good Vibes, so THANK YOU, Doe!💕
