Queen - Who Needs You Acoustic Take!!!! - reaction.

What a cool and interesting song! Don`t take it for granted ;-) Catch the conversation between Freddie and John at the start and also at the end. You could not ask for anything better. This is Queen with Who Needs You, the acoustic take. Do enjoy. Thank you.
Lyrics:
I make it half past six you come at seven
Always try to keep me hanging round
You little spoilt thing girl you kept me waiting
Never contemplating my point of view
This comes as no surprise
I'm a fool for I believed your lies
But now I've seen through your disguise
Who needs well I don't need who needs you?
Oh I believed you
Went on my knees to you
How I trusted you
But you turned me down
But it's dog eat dog in this rat race
And it leaves you bleeding lying flat on your face
Reaching out, reaching out for a helping hand
Where is that helping hand? (Oh, muchachos)
Ooh, well I don't need you
How I was pushed around?
Don't let it get you down
You walked all over me
But don't you ever give in
Taking one step forward slipping two steps back
There's an empty feeling that you can't forget
Reaching out (reaching out) for a helping (for a helping hand) hand
When I met you you were always charming
Couldn't sleep at night 'til you were mine
You were oh so, so sophisticated
Never interested in what I'd say
I had to swallow my pride
So naive you took me for a ride
But now I'm the one to decide
Who needs, well I don't need, who needs you?

John wrote incredible songs, so genius, as all of them!!!

[@Anisabell2]

Oh, and John wrote these lyrics. He was Queen hidden diamond 💖💖

[@bettybaby63]

Freddie’s vocals proved he was in fact a chameleon. It’s interesting to realize that Freddie was tasked with putting forth vocals that the writer wanted to convey. Yet often these songs would be worked on & refined, and resulted in a true collaborative effort. As Lovely M said below, there is an interview with John where he discusses “his writing process”. The interviewer asks how he presents a song to the group. John admits, “well I can’t sing, so I always work with Freddie” as he continued it seems to realize he has only written songs for Freddie to sing. And he states quite firmly that likely would never change. Over the years all of them offered similar sentiment regarding Freddie. In the end, it appears he was their muse.

[@susancooper3111]

@bettybaby63 I love that ! "Freddie was their muse" ... brilliant observation. !

[@marydc26]

John wrote this song and he played the acoustic guitar. He's so good with that instrument, Brian said that John is an incredible guitarrist.

[@christineirving4491pluviophile]

No doubt about it, John wrote some great songs.

[@deeyears3978]

The behind the scenes patter between Deacy and Freddie is fantastic! Deacy wrote the song as he wrote many for Freddie , it’s just Freddie’s interpretation of the words is always leaves one wondering what he’s trying to say. The song is wonderful and Freddie is Freddie! Great reaction Hap!

[@DirectDemocrat]

Great to hear John playing acoustic guitar. He was a very good guitar player in his own right.

[@loveym8879]

thanks for reacting to this one. I love their interaction. This was written by John, but you see how Freddie supported him and his music, which was less rocky than that of the others. Freddie encouraged John and Roger to write songs, because initially it was mostly Freddie and Brian composing. Freddie said in an interview that John mostly wrote motown type songs and that he loved singing those songs. I've read other fan say that when Freddie died John said that he had only ever written songs for Freddie to sing.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Thank you for providing such information and the request too. It's a very sweet relationship and their interaction here is lovely TBH.

[@jeanninedoyle9523]

All of the documentaries take you there Hap, Days of Lives, Queen, Champion’s of the World, etc.

[@theresarandall7448]

That's what I love about Queen songs, you never know what to expect next. Freddie seemed to feel what each song needed whether it was written by him or John, Brian or Roger. The other three trusted his instincts.

[@reneemclane1845]

It looks like John is the one playing the guitar. Brian did say in an interview that John was a very good player. This is one of my favorite Queen songs. The only way to understand Queen is to buy the albums. Then go thru them one at a time. IT WILL BE A JOURNEY.

[@bjw0515]

Freddie had a way of relating a message that was very serious in a light and playful way! Making it sound so good, and yet lyrics being so serious. Like you said like in Living On My Own. There will never be another Freddie!

[@janematthews3394]

No, it's John's song 😃 So Freddie with John here, just the two of them in the studio, rehearsing John's song and John asking for Freddie's advice in the beginning. It's more interesting than official final take. Loved your reaction!!

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Thanks for the info!

[@sannaolsson9106]

John wrote this song, actually. I live this version and when they talk in the beginning(and in the end), so cute ❤ I prefer to listen to this version than the original one.

[@snjezanasiklic8934]

"You should keep it flowing!" :-)) Good advice! So lovely to hear them like this, sounds as if they are so relaxed, feels like they are in a room with us, just enjoying the song..

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

John's song with Freddie's helpful input. Great stuff. Behind the scenes collaboration between them. Freddie's voice is superb whether speaking or singing. Lyrics in progress. Emphasis changes. Fillers. Love this! Thanks so much.

[@debramoore7513]

Great reaction Hap! I love this song cuz it’s simple & sweet with Freddie’s vocals & John on guitar. Freddie loved singing John’s songs! Oh to have been a “fly” on the wall in Queen’s studio recordings! John wrote another song called IN SEVEN DAYS ..... It’s beautiful. Also check out I NEED YOUR LOVING, DON’T LOSE YOUR HEAD, MACHINES (BACK TO HUMAN).

[@debbiebush5887]

Great reaction HAP. I too love to hear the interracttion between the band members. Some of their documentaries are fun to watch because you get to see them playing around. I just love to hear FREDDIE talk because he is so soft spoken. Thank you HAP for your videos. Take care my brother. Much love to ya. Your girl, QUEEN BEE

[@LMTino]

You are right, Queen "layers" all the time - all the more fascinating when you see the stripped down or built up version. Hard for perfectionists to...stop! Being a good editor ... mandatory!

[@adinafarkas769]

Really nice to hear that interaction and the message of the song is a healing one. Never walk in anyone’s shadow especially if they don’t respect you!

[@lcbcreative]

Excellent choice, lovey M! What a great song. I didn't even know this existed until someone linked it in the comments section of a different video. I love learning Queen facts in the comments section on this channel. Anything behind the scenes with these guys is a gem. John's accent is so distinctive and wonderful. Great reaction, Hap!

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Thanks LCB.... !!! U know im equally glad the comments here are filled with such rich information and we can learn from on another. 👑

[@GinMae]

thanks, Hap - this is cool - it's clear that Fred had not yet finalized the lyrics... lol

[@jeanninedoyle9523]

The vocals are wonderful on this

[@joymaxs2874]

Enjoyed your 2cents and thoughts on this song. First time hearing this song for me, and loved it! ("Aww It was lovely!" Loved Freddie's comment at the end of the song.) Great reaction as always, Hap! 👍💙

[@nataliebagshaw2773]

Another 1 of my faves. Great reaction. Have you heard I guess we're falling out an unreleased demo I found it a few months ago irs brilliant had it on rewind for days loll 😁 there's a video been made by a fan ( from Montreal concert) an it's video simulation the ending on it is brilliant of freddie with the singing at the end. I love it. Have a listen to that if you haven't already 👍

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

sry, my orig comment was on wrong line . what i meant to say here is - I haven't heard that & now need to hunt it down. thanks for the info!

[@nataliebagshaw2773]

@@DonnaleaSpencer let me know if you do an what you think to it. Listen to the 1 I said as that has the bit at the end what makes your eyes fill up and goosebumps 👍

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

I'll check it out- and better wait for the reaction guys :)

[@Danielik25]

This is so sweet, Freddie and John , two romantics, working together again on the song , which Brian with Roger hated definetely ❤️😃

[@bettybaby63]

This is absolutely one of my favorite Queen rare finds. I freaking love it. Playlist worthy. “Oh it’s lovely” Freddie & Deaky in a nutshell. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@denikennedy6675]

HEY HAP, NEVER SAY NEVER TO YOUR PASSION OF WORKING BEHIND THE MUSIC SCENE. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!! YES, IT WOULD BE EXCITING FOR ME TO EXPERIENCE FROM FIRST MUSICAL THOUGHT TO ALL THE WAY TO THE END, WHEN THE SONG IS BORN! IT IS A GOOD SONG! VERY CATCHY! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENTHUSIASTIC AND INSIGHTFUL REACTION AS ALWAYS. TAKE CARE!🥰🌲🎶♥️

[@flaviamesaglio5429]

Freddie e John... bellissimo 👏👏👏😘💝💘🌹

[@korinalacount2664]

Such a lovely gem,freddie and john at their best and finest,great reaction

[@taniagariepy]

Thanks Hap, a new one for me. Everyone says it’s Deacon and it does sound that way. A lovely setting for the recording.

[@HelenaDax]

Freddie might have helped with the lyrics, but the song is John's. If it sounds vaguely Caribbean, it's John's, lol. There's little information about this song, so I don't know if it was directed at someone. I agree, it's great to hear those little conversations. I think you'd love the documentary of their American Tour in 77.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

If there is a recommended link I'll be sure to explore when the time presents itself. Thank you Helena 💯

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

I've lost my shoe!

[@HelenaDax]

@@DonnaleaSpencer Cinderella! 😜

[@HelenaDax]

@@HAP3SPEAKZ this is the one with everything about that tour. A fan put it together using every bit available kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpPMf2aZoql4m9E And this one is the official version kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWnNgnaonpx6Y8U

[@joribremer5260]

Freddie and John were a great team together :) , also wrote a few songs together, I believe the Miracle (Song) was also a coop between these 2 , (Freddie wrote the lyrical and John the music )

[@laurieschulte3025]

These lyrics were place holders. A process they often did when doing basic demo to see if the idea was worth pursuing to a full song. The new song Face it Alone is a very early take demo and the lyrics were never completed. But like this, enough of the music had already been fleshed out.

[@carolefournier345]

I love it! This is the version I got in my Playlist 💛 it's so fresh and spontaneous 😍

[@diesebellim9044]

yeah he did it wrote an amazing songs too i love them all... 💖

[@lindastodola133]

Second time- boo- boo- 😂😂😂😂😂♥️♥️

[@Sparkly-Unicorn]

Great request Lovey M!! This was not was I was expecting! The instruments were great and so was Freddie!! 🌻🌻

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

LOVEY M feeling the vibes from this one. So happy this song exists.

[@johnfaustintx]

Nice!! Thanks to the person that recommended this! Great suggestion for KP (KingPin) and all of his subs. Good call, KP, for reacting to it!

[@allanriach]

I love these early/demo versions. Great to see how the songs evolve. You'll probably not be able to find these lyrics on the Internet, just the final studio version.

[@taniagariepy]

It would be interesting to hear the Queened version 😍😍

[@chrisy8989]

I love that you dig out these gems that I've never heard before. Thanks so much Hap and LoveyM! 💖

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Thanks for listening

[@lindastodola133]

Till the End of Time? I’m checking that out Hap. Thank you! Love the background of these amazing songs too! Thank you!!

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Awesome reaction, I do love all of these extra material or alternative versions they provided with the anniversary of the News Of The World album. The Spread Your Wings and It's Late versions are really somewhat better then the final studio versions. I do think this is actually very close to Freddie's real natural voice, when he was not putting effects into his voice. He had a very sweet natural voice. If you like these interesting events, and Freddie's sweet voice, you should listen to Freddie singing Bohemian Rhapsody drunk, it is quite funny, kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2HEgJmFdtSgobM.

[@dianecourtney2724]

WOW. thank you ❤️

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Welcome

[@sumerfluffy]

Awesome reaction HAP!

Thank u!!

@sumertulak I agree Sumer! And, to the person that suggested the song, thanks!

[@barbararosen2658]

React to the documentary one vision the long version it’s really great. While we’re talking about great singers I didn’t courage you to try listening to Chris Stapleton sing Tennessee whiskey. It’s just beautiful.

[@janematthews3394]

I love their interactions during recording too. If you want more of those you should watch Queen studio bloopers - the audio of their comments and jokes (and arguments:) The famous Brian/Freddie argument in the beginning is so funny) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHywdY2fpdOnaMU

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Ooohh this could be quite cool.

[@kuntumhapsari6894]

❤️

[@user-eh8eg4hp5t]

Even though KZbin may be a rat race, don't think any of us would ever say " who needs you " to you! Thanks again Hap.

[@michaelburkey1968]

John song

[@davidcochran6291]

Hey brother Daneliya has a new cover of 'Tears Of Gold'!!! It is different and longer than her audition and of course better. Our little girl is growing up. I'll listen to Queen later.

[@mostchrisis]

I prefer the acoustic version to the finished version.

[@Mymuseandi]

Love the reaction. Also, Nov 24 is the day Freddie passed, hope you will be uploading something to commemorate?

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Stand by

[@user-ti8nt6zi6b]

You need to hear the album version when it was finally made, completely different lyrics and sung with more passion. You've got to hear the album version.... But with your headphones on, as you keep saying :D

[@petrap.8022]

You should react Making One Vision You will love it!❤ I watched it many times React to that 🙏
