Freddie Mercury - Time Waits for No One Reaction | Freddie Mercury Solo!

[@Fubar42]

"I as a young black man.... don't care about race... we need to move forward, talk, move on" - Radical words in troubled times. I miss you Freddie x

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

It was written and recorded before his diagnose, but time didn't wait for Freddie either. 😥 Freddie was able to adopt anybody's song and fill it up with his own emotions.

[@DeeVet1]

Love this song. All us Queenies still feel his presence. He was a powerful voice for so many of us. His and even Queen’s lesser known music speaks to us. These compositions touch us. Some bring a smile (Seaside Rendezvous). Bluesy (Melancholy Blues) 39 (space travel consequences) so many others. Thank you. Bless you.

[@barbjustbarb]

Look for the duets between Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe. “Barcelona” will just splatter you. Love your reactions.

Great voice. Great personality. The song tells you we always had problems...maybe bigger once at times...I am old enough to remember him live......they say it was the AIDS medication that killed him. He is sorely missed....never duplicated.

[@GwenCossin]

The premise of the musical titled 'Time' was that a rockstar was chosen to defend life, because things had gotten out of control here on Earth. The other one from the musical that Freddie hit out of the park was "In my defense".

[@shirl790]

A lot of people would agree Freddie Mercury was way ahead of his time but died far too soon. Always brings me to tears this song xx

[@robberrie677]

Damn dude... this is the first time I've heard this song, thanks for finding and racting to this...

[@DWtechfan]

This song is probably one of the most emotional and deep meaning song Freddie Mercury did in his solo career. Time Waits For No One is as powerful now as it was the day it was recorded. Great reactions as usual!

[@jeffyoung9341]

GOAT… nothing else can be said…

[@PT9546]

Great reaction! I could see how emotional it was for you, that's what good music does! This was written by Dave Clark for his musical Time. For the album of the musical he asked Freddie to sing this song and another one called In My Defense. The musical is about how humans are destroying the earth. This performance by Freddie is a tour de force performance. His vocal range, power and emotion are on another level. I don't know any other vocalist who could sing this the way he did. By the way these vocals are from the very first time he sang the song in the recording studio. The practice run. Dave Clark said Freddie was the only vocalist he had ever worked with who gave a complete performance every single time he sang this in the studio. Must have been amazing to be there.

[@nrsvlda70]

There will never be another Freddie… he was just on a different plane. Many of Freddie’s later songs are incredibly insightful.. full of joy while having a deep, deep message. As you stated.. this was written by Dave Clark (from the Dave Clark Five group).. for a musical he was producing.. he re-released in the past couple of years.. it was originally done in the mid-80s. I hope you can continue your Queen/Freddie journey.. early stuff is amazing.. later stuff - even more amazing!! Great reaction.. glad you’re doing well in your new location too!

[@christinejohnson9540]

Hey love your reactions, this is so true of these times, it’s truly unbelievable that this song was written so long ago, definitely listen to is this the world that we created, it’s so sad that we don’t learn from the mistakes of the past. RIP Freddie

[@Sassypaws4927]

This song was written 40+ years ago. It was written by Dave Clark, John Christie, & Jeff Daniels. Dave Clark was one of Freddie's closest friends and was actually at his bedside when Freddie died. Dave Clark is an English musician, songwriter, record producer, and entrepreneur. He was the leader, drummer, and manager of the 1960s rock group, The Dave Clark Five (DC5). It was the first British Invasion band to follow the Beatles to the United States in 1964. In 2008 Clark and his band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Here is a video of the Dave Clark 5 hit - "Glad All Over"- kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5rTlXSgna6gqMU or maybe you would prefer to hear Dave Clark 5 - "Because" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppOqZpyJhMpnj5I

[@DarlaAnne]

Oh wow, this is NEW Freddie for me and I'm 55. What a GIFT, thank you!!!! I so appreciate your reactions!

[@tinalisapattern]

I love your reaction videos and I love your love for Queen. And let me tell you one thing, I found out in life. People are mirrors. You get back, what you emit. And you emit so much decency and kindness, that I believe most people can't help, but reflect that back to you. Whenever I was in real need of help, I often received that from very unexpected sources. And whenever I see a chance I take the opportunity to give that back myself.

[@agatopol]

Freddie is still alive for me too! My taste in music is very eclectic, I listen to almost every style and enjoy them, but Freddie is the QUEEN of my hart ❤ Loved your video ❤

I absolutely love your channel, I am a forever Freddie fan, I can tell you Freddie’s voice and the songs from Queen captures your heart and soul. I have to hear him sing everyday it just brings happiness to your heart. He said in interview “If you ever miss me listen to my music and there you will find me” Freddie is the music!! 🔥

[@ikirsikas]

It's so sweet and heartbreaking. This interview makes me cry. Thanks for reminding me of that.❤😢

[@lilharleymama]

"The Dave Clark 5 " was a band that was very popular during the early to mid 60'S. Dave Clark was the drummer and singer in the band. You should check out this video of him and Freddie talking about the song "Time",.and how it came to pass. "Time" was a play filled with a variety of artists contributing their gifts to the songs they did for the play. The interview is really fun, cuz Freddie is quite the expressive, excited darling that he is! I think you would learn a lot about Freddie in the interview. He knew what could be,...and how to do it...and he was kind! it's called "Freddie Mercury & Dave Clark 'Time' Interview (1986) - Extended" here on youtube. You just might also like to hear the Dave Clark 5' music...it's good,... this--> "Dave Clark Five Greatest Hits Video" just has some quick snippets of their music. Hope you take a look.

[@gavst79]

[@deboraclark5791]

Some people want us to be split, and they work really hard to keep it that way, their power remains as long as we keep giving it to them. Together we are mighty, apart we are weak. The past is the past, the future is what's important. Great reaction.

[@maryadamec124]

Thanks for a great reaction... Dick Clark (of the old Dick Clark Five genre) was producing and directing a musical on (off) Broadway and asked Freddie to sing a song... then asked him to do the musical on stage. There are several other versions of this song out there where he sings with the entire musical ensemble, but Freddie declined the starring because he thought that would be too boring to do the same show every night... Yes, I can see how anger (over Freddie being 'taken' from us) COULD play a part in this scenario, but I think the human (or should I say humane) thing to do is to acknowledge the anger, have gratitude for realizing it, then turn it around to love and acceptance. We all know Freddie was a great singer and master manipulator of emotions (he knew his craft well -- that's why we love him so much), so thank God for the TIME we had Freddie and learn to love everyone... enough said. Thanks again...Blessings.

I am with you.... I also just "discovered" Freddie this year, and I too am deep into watching the music videos and interviews. This man was the best voice of all time. By the time of this song, 1986, he suspected he was ill, and by 1987 learned he was dying; that makes his words all the more poignant , beautiful and sad. He died in 1991. But we today are lucky if we find him like we are. I dont even want to hear any other music at this point! I love your reaction. (i'm a white middle aged woman; my 'back against the wall' is medical issues and some poverty as a result). Dave Clark was of the Dave Clark Five band; he wrote a musical called Time as an AIDS benefit back then in 1986.

[@aerynoftalyn1307]

Great reaction/response video. To me the point of the way Freddie sings this song is, don't let them turn us against each other, we have problems to solve on this earth and in our society and if we use our energy hating each other, "there'll be no more future at all." We have to figure out how to trust one another again, that means earning one another's trust.

“In the back of my mind, I knew that the final version worked, and you can’t knock it because it is fabulous. I loved it when Freddie was on his own singing it. I’ve never felt that sort of goosebumps feeling that I got on that original run-through at Abbey Road [Studios] with just Freddie and piano,’” Clark said in the statement. But, the issue was, the song had been buried deep in his vaults for more than three decades. He couldn’t locate it. “Every few years I would say to my engineer, ‘Go down to Abbey Road and go through it all again at the vaults.’ We could never find the track At the end of 2017, we found it in the tape archives and I thought, Wow, it’s great.” Moran redid the piano and Clark was able to produce the performance he’d always wanted to hear again. Freddie’s bare vocals were placed on the new piano track. This version is Freddie at his most compelling.

[@janetd8198]

You are saying it all! Total truth! And this song was 37 years ago but said it all!

[@jazzlefettie]

I don’t think this song was written about Freddie’s AIDS diagnosis cuz, as others have said, he didn’t write it and I don’t think it was written about him. But it’s impossible to listen to it without thinking about the tragic nature of it with respect to Freddie’s eventual demise. But you are absolutely right about how it applies to what is going on today, everywhere you turn. Which is true of a lot of music that was written a decade …or two…or three…or four….before today. And that is certainly the case with a lot of Queen songs which deal with universal truths or the human condition. Thanks for doing this reaction!

Not written by Freddie of course you know by now. But, a truth for all. And Freddie lived to appreciate HIS life that was challenge from being quite young. Freddie, a youngster, was sent many miles away to boarding school for years. He was very near extended family but not his Mom, Dad and little sister. Lonesome, but he thrived. It's a good story cause Freddie, found it helped him be the independent, confident, constructive adult person we know. We should all use our time wisely .. . do what we want that is good and productive. I learned about Queen & Freddie almost 3 yrs ago....Freddie 'lives', inspires me today. His heart and soul is in his singing, no matter who wrote the lyrics. I cry cause he's gone. I smile cause he's still with us thru how he lived. Nice reaction.
