I Am Heartbroken... First Time Reaction to Queen - "These Are The Days Of Our Lives"

[@fikryhasan5225]

I'm a 50 years old Queen fan and also a metalhead, but whenever I watch this music video I couldn't help but shed a tear. RIP, Freddie Mercury. Gone too soon.

[@CR7ADP10]

Same.

[@nickgraham2506]

Yep, me too. Breaks my heart. To see the heartache on the faces of the rest of the band just gets me.

[@iche50]

Don't cry because he died' Smile because He was born..

[@JANI1980.]

Perfectly said 😇

[@Gr8Buccaneer]

for sure,the world would be different,without "bohemian", "we will rock you" and "we are the champions"

[@catherinefitzgerald7291]

Why not cry? It's already a forgone conclusion that we are grateful he was born.

[@robertpetre9378]

Because he lived and how he lived

[@Valmoorer]

[@paulmargett9360]

Freddie passed away 33 years ago tomorrow (24th November 91) this video was recorded in the May of that year. I cried like that 33 years ago when I first saw it. Freddie loved his cats, find the song "Delilah" about one of his cats. Much love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@szymonpietrzak7777]

I really love Delilah, such a cute song about Freddie's beloved cat that made him happy when he was dying. Lots of love from Poland 🇵🇱

[@jefferyprem9285]

Deacon was there. He was sitting on a stool next to Freddie

[@markpalmer7215]

Freddie’s “goodbye” to the fans. His last words ever on camera “I still love you”. He was very brave to get up there & do this even though he could barely stand. Remember watching this for the first time the day he died & teared up then & still brings lump to throat even now. 33 years later did I think Freddie & Queen would still be so popular- absolutely not, the sad thing is I think Freddie is more loved & appreciated now than he was when he was alive & he never got to see such acclaim from the wider public. From all accounts he was a wonderful person, generous to a fault & so funny. Which makes it all the more sad how he suffered in his last years & makes me despise the press for how they treated him during that period. This video is emotional - his last video appearance “Mother love” is emotional- his last vocal “The show must go on” is emotional because of the powerful lyrics (quite possibly the best lyrics Brian ever wrote) Other emotional stuff (although Freddie wasn’t sick at the time), “who wants to live forever” & “time waits for no one”

[@Cadinho93]

Freddie Mercury was so sick, but still sang his heart out! This was his last video, his goodbye. Also, there's a reason they filmed this in black and white. Watch the color footage and you can see how sick Freddie was. NONE of the bandmates are smiling in this. They KNEW, but the most heartbreaking thing? As sick and in pain as he was, Freddie's smile at that last "I still love you". That's Freddie saying "I know, loves, but life goes on. Be your best selves".

[@threekidzmom04]

💔

[@baz1106]

Yes, John Deacon is in the Video...on the left, sitting on a stool. Even after all this time, it's a tough watch and that guitar solo from Brian gets me every time but the final message from Freddie " I still love you" is worth the effort. From what I've read, the making of this video was a massive effort for Freddie but he insisted on doing it. It was his good bye to all of us.

[@leeendley8009]

The greatest lead singer of any band, any genre, ever. Had everything, fantastic voice that could sing anything, fantastic charisma and stage presence, nobody better. Please watch The Show must Go On.

[@iris67si]

John IS in the video along with Roger and Freddie. Brian is there too but he wasn't present when the video was recorded. Brian was in the US promoting their last album Innuendo and because of Freddie's illness they couldn't wait for him to return, so John and Roger shot the video with Freddie. Brian's part was shot later and carefully added to it. You really can't see that especially on your first time watching it. Because Freddie's frail appearance it was made in black and white but even that can't really mask how frail Freddie was. But he insisted to appear because he knew it was the last time he will stand in front of the camera and he wanted to say goodbye to his fans. 😢 "I still love you." 💔 Freddie, dear, we still love you and we always will.

[@markawalsh90]

33 years later and those last words spoken by Freddie are still truly heartbreaking

[@3COLORSMUSIC-ul2cn]

Your precious tears pay a loving tribute to the memory of FREDDIE 🌺

[@Euderos91]

Fun fact: This song was written by the drummer Roger Taylor and it was meant to be about his kids and family, but Freddie gave it additional depth that made it so much better. Freddie left this world on his own terms, the last few years of his life him and the rest of the band were very prolific knowing that he didn't have much time left. The album "Innuendo" from 1991 was their last recorded together, and the "Made in Heaven" from 1995 was pretty much band putting instrumental tracks on pre-recorded vocals of Freddie. I strongly recomend "Who wants to live forever", "Innuendo" and "Mother's Love" (The actual last song that he ever sung, halfway through he put down the mike because he was exhausted that day and he never finished it).

[@kevinanddobby]

Im 68yrs old from Scotland first time i heard Queen 1973/4 i was hooked great front man rip Freddie

[@gamerslive1974]

I'm from the US and the first time I heard Queen, I was a kid. Best music ever. Not a single song was bad. His stage presence was/is unmatched. RIP to a legend, but he still lives through his music.

[@gswithen]

In 1997, Brian, Roger and John recorded a final Queen song in tribute to Freddie called, No-One But You (Only the Good Die Young). There is no way possible to listen to this song or watch this video without weeping. Please seek it out. RIP Freddie.

[@Neil_BT]

One of my favourite quotes from Sir Terry Pratchett's books is "No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away." Freddie's music will keep his ripples travelling for eternity. Sleep tight Fred, we still love you.

Hi Stacey. I hope you are well. Im a lifelong Queen fan. I first went to a Queen concert in 1974 an not missed a tour since then. Over 50 shows in all. The last tour both Wembley and Knebworth Park. This song breaks my heart. If you ask any Queen fan, at the end when Freddie looks into the camera and says "I still love you." every fan will say that Freddie is saying it to them - personally 😢 I cannot watch this without tearing up. Thank you for another brilliant reaction Stacy. I love your videos. Please, more Queen ❤❤❤

[@stephenmarsh1918]

Beautiful reaction from a young lady with a beautiful soul, Freddy has touched so many millions of us around the world. RIP

[@JennyColwell-tb6cm]

Yes , John Deacon was in the video several times. RIP Freddie

[@stern12akachris32]

As sick as he was That Spectacular Voice NEVER Failed him . Watching this always has me in tears knowing we lost the Gift That Freddie was to all of Us

[@elkevera]

Freddie is the most courageous man I have ever known in my long live. He filmed the last scene twice. I am glad that Rudi put a filter over the video, Brian said it took hours to put on his make-up.- I have a huge picture when you first enter my house and I look at him and am reminded that all my worries are minimal, he gives me strength. And yes: We still love you ❣

[@kenbrandon6434]

John Deacon was there. The way he was playing the bass was reminding me how good the whole band was, a true supergroup. Roger actually wrote this song for his newborn son, but knowing of Freddie’s illness, it evolved and he has said Freddie made it his own and his true good-bye. Roger now sings it in the few concerts they now do, with Adam Lambert as the lead singer.

[@johnsmith-es7zk]

'Sweet Mother Love' was his last recording and he was so ill that he had to leave before recording the last verse. He never returned and Brian sang the last verse so that they could release the song. RIP Freddie, you are always with us.

[@bjw0515]

This was his goodbye song to fans that he but in the message "I still love you". I always cry when I hear the song. Thanks for playing this beautiful song!

[@DenisePallin]

I have seen this video hundreds of times and it always brings tears. We still love you Freddie

[@paulocarvalho6480]

Dear Stacey, just looking at how Freddie was like before getting sick and his final videos is heartbreaking. From a man full of life to a shadow of his former self. How he managed to find the strength (both physically and mentally) to keep pushing barriers and performing is beyond my understanding. Thank you for your very heartfelt reaction to the best ever frontman who stepped on a stage.

[@armyveteran101st]

I was 23 years old when Freddie passed in 1991. I heard the news on the radio that day and it was a huge shock, as his illness had been kept secret. I’m almost 57 years old now and I still mourn Freddie’s loss. Queen’s music was the soundtrack of my youth and still a big part of my life… Thank you for appreciating it, Stacey ❤

[@joegillam1497]

I'm 57 years old too. I was lucky enough to see them live a couple of times in the 1980s. Such an awesome (and loud!) experience.

[@demisfoster10]

I was 13 when Freddie passed, some five years and two days before my other childhood hero, my dear old Dad... Queen was my dad's favourite band, they are still mine... So many memories attached to this video, and this amazing back catalogue,

[@pasi4118]

The video was filmed on May 30, 1991. It was Freddie Mercury's last filmed performance, as he died on November 24 of that year. Unreleased backstage footage of the shooting of the video appeared in the Days of our Lives documentary, showing Mercury's deteriorating physical condition (extremely skinny and pale) largely covered up by makeup and colorful attire. Brian May speculated in the documentary that Freddie was "saying his goodbye" in that video, knowing that he would likely not be healthy enough to perform anymore. The song was originally written by Roger Taylor about his children, and how parenthood made him look back on his own life. Inevitably, the song took on new meaning when it was announced that Freddie Mercury had AIDS and knew he was going to die soon when he recorded this. Mercury did not tell the public about his disease until shortly before he died. It's highly likely this was also on Taylor's mind when he wrote the lyrics - Mercury told the band and manager Jim Beach about his AIDS diagnosis in 1987, but ordered them to keep it secret. Brian May described it in the Days of our Lives documentary: "We hid everything. I guess we lied! Because we were trying to protect him." Freddie Mercury made sure the band worked on this song despite his illness. He wanted to make music until he was no longer physically capable, and with the band not touring due to Mercury's health, they spent a lot of their time in the studio working. Mercury insisted on the band giving him music and lyrics, and he would continue to record for as long as his health permitted. His bandmates speculated that recording helped Mercury deal with the illness.

[@jayb8298]

Filmed in black & white seems to make the song even sadder......❤

[@peterobrien8399]

I'm 55 years old and have been a Queen fan since the age of 10. Was lucky to see them live 3 times. When I watch this video it still makes me feel sad. Love watching your reactions. John Deacon was in the video, Brian filmed his section separately as he was on tour. You are right this was Freddie saying goodbye to his fans

[@michaelw.548]

Thank you for this video, a day before Freddie's anniversary. Every year on November 24th, I listen to the entire Innuendo album.😢 Greetings from Germany

[@StaceyRPGReacts]

Oh wow I didn’t know tomorrow was his anniversary… crazy timing

[@RiverSong5683]

Deacon was all the way on the left of Freddie , but they showed him at times. Freddie passed away almost 4 months later, he lost part of his foot and went blind by then. He couldn’t sing anymore, even though he still had music and love of beauty inside of him, one of his close people around him at the end said. “Lover of life, singer of songs”. Yes, I admire and love Freddie even more knowing how STRONG and how much of a class act he was at the end, never complaining, never feeling sorry for himself, never blaming anyone, worrying about his friends and loved ones more than himself. Caring, loving and generous to the end. 💔❤❤❤

[@petermakini6214]

Yes - John was in the video. Great reaction, Stacey. 😊

That was probably the most moving reaction to a song I’ve ever seen. Stacey you are a true empath, feelings run through you even though you never really listened to Queen before. Freddie was a true legend and was loved by every single solitary friend, family and fan. R.I.P. Freddie Mercury, the beloved frontman that sang music that will forever live on in beautiful souls like yours. You are loved, and Freddie is definitely looking down and smiling, loving your words and smilies.

[@marshman96]

I'm 50 and Freddie Mercury and Neil Peart are the two rock deahhs that hurt my soul the most. Queen and Rush mean so much to me and i am so thankful the music is there to carry on forever.

[@ManDieBakt]

I'm in my late 50's and I totally feel the same way. For me, being a dutchman and a fan, the death of Herman Brood in 2001 really hit me. I remember hearing it and immediately I started crying. To this day I listen to at least one of his songs every day.

Freddie passed away but he'll never die.

[@sarahlynnie2000]

The Show Must Go On is a MUST watch! There is no LIVE version, as he was too sick. But the "live" fan edit is pretty good. I prefer the official video, though, as it shows Freddie throughout his career. Brian wrote the song for Freddie, and was afraid it would be too difficult for him to perform in his state at the time. But Freddie took a shot of vodka, and said "I'll fucking do it!" He never turned down a challenge, he always had an optimistic mind, and he would do ANYTHING to give his fans his very best, until the very end.

[@draygor75]

I love Queen! So many amazing song and I can not wait for you to hear them. Who wants to live forever, One vision, It's a kind of magic, Breakthru are just a few.

Freddie was in the studio making thier what would be final record w/ Freddie."Made In Heaven" 1995.He kept asking them to write more lines.His last song was Mother Love.Guitarist Brian May sang the last verse.Right after Freddie passed. Another heart wrenching song & video is No One But You (Only the Good Die Young) The surviving members Brian May & drummer Roger Taylor .If you can watch that one.Still a tear jerker though

[@christophersmith2793]

As a Queen fan who actually attended 6 live Queen concerts in the 1970-80s this is still heartbreaking to watch,Freddie’s very last vocal song called ( Mother Love) he was to ill to finish the last verse so Brian May completed it,but Freddie’s vocals in the first verse are amazing,check out Mother Love! Great reaction thanks 🙏

[@BeBoe69]

Dear Stacey, your tears always make me cry too. I really love your emotional response. 🥰

[@johnroberthines7811]

😢Can't help tearing up it's a long time now since i listened to this, it also takes me back when me and my sisters lost our dear Mum 😢. The reason they filmed in black and white was to help minimise how frail Freddie was at the time of recording to help reduce the shock to fans when watching the video. But when the video came out of the making of these are the days of our lives in colour it really shows how ill and frail Freddie really was. R. I. P.

[@ge52]

Awww Stacey, another beautiful reaction and i knew you'd be emotional watching Freddie and the rest of the band.I think your next Queen reaction should maybe be a happier video like One Vision extended version or It's A Hard Life where the video is extravagant but the song is bombastic and Freddie singing about his love life at the time.The Show Must Go On will take you on another emotional rollercoaster and is one of their best songs amongt loads of others.Thanks again for your beautiful reaction ❤

[@ErnstBeck-eq4ge]

We Love all Freddie and Queen ! We Missed him all Queen fans and the rest!! Best Song and Voice to Freddie

[@simonwilson6022]

Mother love is the final song, he knew they would have to finish it without him , the singing is amazing, definitely worth a reaction.

[@sumonjamal1653]

A very heartfelt song written by Roger Taylor (drums) of Queen... Apparently, it was written to Freddie Mercury, knowing he was ill and would be gone soon... Roger and Freddie knew each other before Queen got together and said he was feeling melancholy and wanted to write something positive about the present. Roger Taylor sang 'These are the days of our lives' ... recently on tour w/ his son Rufus Taylor playing the drums. John Deacon (bass) was in the music video. He was playing bass...

[@vinniedixon1140]

Don't be sad that Freddie is no longer with us, just be happy we can still remember the phenomenal music he and the rest of Queen gave to the world. Freddie passed away the day I was due to start work for the first time, it hit me real hard. Freddie is gone and will be greatly missed but never forgotten and thanks to KZbin, younger people like yourself can enjoy and react to their awesome music. There's plenty more of Queen for you to enjoy Stacey.

This was the final footage filmed of Freddie. Not long after this, the band held a party to celebrate their twentieth anniversary, and the few pictures snapped of Freddie from that party were the last public photos taken of him. John Deacon is definitely in the video. He's all through it. He's to the right of Freddie, sitting on a stool, playing his bass.

[@TheFlamingGamerYT]

I knew you were gonna react to this song, seeing as several people I saw in the comments of previous videos requested it. I love this song despite the sad undertone. I’ve been watching your videos reacting to Queen songs, and I’ve enjoyed them, especially the live aid performance. I knew this song was gonna hit hard for you, but I’m glad you reacted to it. I hope you’re having yourself a lovely day. Definitely am glad to have been enjoying your reactions to Queen lately ❤ Also, John was in the video. If I remember correctly, Freddie, Roger and John were present to record most of the shots in the music video, but Brian at the time was busy with something. But sometime later (a month or so, I can’t recall at the moment), he showed up to record his parts. He was edited in the wide shot of the entire band near the end of the video, which was nice to give a final view of the band members together

[@virtualal]

I recall seeing a behind the scenes documentary on this video and the effort that it took Freddie to do the video was immense. True performer to the very end.

[@nikqueenfan]

Remember seeing this video when I was 12 years old and just got into Queen’s music. It was so sad but still so inspiring in the terms of no matter how you feel, you shall do your craft till the very end if it helps people. And Queen’s music really did, does and will help. The wonder in it is. Even though I was born four years after Freddie’s passing, I feel sadness, but yet gratitude to Queen. Thank you Stacey for sharing your emotions. It really helps to feel that we are still able to feel and sympathise in the today’s world. Another highly recommended song is ‘The Show Must Go On’, written by Brian to Freddie basically. The final song on the final album. Cheers ❤️

[@TooMuchBrass-up9ss]

I can't believe it's been 33 years. It seems like yesterday. It was quite a surprise considering I was listing to them quite a lot at the time. Innuendo just came out earlier that year. You need to hear the whole album along with the rest of them. All their albums are fantastic.

[@nickwall2497]

The video was done in May 91, he passed 6 months later in November 91. He did the very last I still love you, looking straight into the camera, knowing that was the last time people would see him on camera The cat waist coat was made specially for him and are the cats he owns, the main one on the front is Delilah, his favourite. Also wrote a song about her for Queen of the same name. Maybe you should react to it. I find it rather funnya

Yes, John Deacon was in the video, and if you watch again, you'll see that he has a couple of nice moments, and plays some beautiful notes on the bass. Also, Kudos to Brian, for a particularly heartfelt solo. He wanted it to count. The whole band of course threw themselves into this video, knowing the significance it would have.

8:59 yes he was, you see him playing bass as usual in the background. They where bivakating in a Geneva studio, where the press didn't reach them. Ans went to record wheenver Freddie had a good day, hour whenever he felt good, they could record. This wasn't his last video, and not his last recorded song either. Motherlove was, that would come on the following album. For the Show Must go on, he took 3 or 4 shots of vodka and nailed the whole song in one take. Other songs he sang three lines to a taperecorder with often only a drum computer for a beat, but he'd sing every line three times, so they could finish the songs using the best ones.. he came to terms he wasn't going to hear the endproduct. Most of these songs became the album Made in Heaven.

Su luz trascendió su talento y su vida. Creo que independiente de la excelente música que dejó , su verdadero legado es recordarnos lo importante que es ser genuino con uno mismo. Pensar que un hombre parsi bisexual migrante que se mudó a Inglaterra, que confió en él y se permitió ser él mismo, y cambió la historia… asombroso e inspirador!! Millones de personas aún siguiéndolo, recordándolo, sintiéndose acompañado en sus dolores y alegrías. Soy una mujer de 32 años y tengo otras batallas, pero me siento tan acompañada por él aunque falleció antes de que yo naciera… imagínate ese impacto! Creo que estoy un poco enamorada de él, mi mamá está orgullosa de mi jajaja 😂❤️

I'm nearly 62, first saw Queen with Freddie age 18, then a few more times, I remember how sad I was seeing this on release. Still sad today. Brian needs more credit for those sad notes he played. But all these years later what cheers me up is the legacy he left us of all the music he made.

Hello, you might already know, and have heard the song. ...the last one he recorded was Mother Love. In fact, he didn't quite finish. Brian did the last verse. Also, there is Only the Good Die Young, the three's tribute to Freddie. And lastly, if you haven't seen it, there is the tribute concert at Wembley in 92, for Freddie. Just wonderful. 🙂

This one still makes me cry 🌹 it doesn't seem possible it's been 33 years since he left us. Legend 👑
