This is one of those songs you realize you've heard a million times in movies, commercials, etc.

[@missd9785]

Oh gosh... just love this song, might be my favorite Queen song. Written by John Deacon for his wife Veronica they're still married some 46 years and 6 kids later. Thank you so much for including this beauty full song in ur QUEEN reaction catalogue... not everyone does. It was a big hit here in the US. AND once again I love ur comments and willingness to open ur heart to new music. FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS (official or live '82 Milton Keynes) DRAGON ATTACK (live Montreal) KILLER QUEEN/ I'M IN LOVE WITH MY CAR (live Montreal) PLAY THE GAME (live Montreal) CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE

[@3ScotsInk]

Despite all the heavy touring and studio recording, Deaky was a busy boy. They had 3 of those children by the time he was only 27. 😊

[@missd9785]

@@3ScotsInk I didn't know that. In that case probably plenty of grandkids by now?? At this moment listening to some Bowie u suggested. Also typed in official OR Bowl '82 for Fat Bottomed Girls above. Hope you're feeling better💉🤕

[@3ScotsInk]

@@missd9785 Oh yeah, plenty of grandkids, maybe even a great-grand or two by now, considering how young they were when they married (21, I think) and having their kids so young. I hope you enjoy some of the Bowie stuff but his was and is such a different vibe from Freddie & Queen. I did and still do listen to Bowie when I'm in a more melancholy mood and/or want to dive deeper into, like, an abyss. He was a very different type of artist than Freddie/Queen. With just a few obvious exceptions like 'Mother Love' and 'These Are the Days of Our Lives' and such, Queen w/ Freddie and Freddie solo always, always brightens my mood, no matter how bad the day has been or whatever. Has never failed me, since 1973 and, at this point, I don't think they ever will. I'm doing great, thank you! Both shots, relatively minor symptoms-- actually ended up a little harder with the first shot than the second. Just a lot of sleeping with both, mostly, which is one of my favorite past times.😂 Yeah, that's where I disagree with Freddie, that sleeping is a waste of time. Not for me! Sorry, Fred.😉 Have a great weekend Miss D, and let me know if any of the Bowie does anything for you.

[@neillenet291]

Another great song by the bass player, the underrated John Deacon.

Did I see John playing piano/keyboard and singing in this video?

[@lindsaycrellin4588]

@@janettesinclair6279 yes John did play the keyboard on this one x Freddie didn’t like it I can’t remember if Roger or Brian said he thought it was an inferior instrument he liked to play the grand piano x

John Deacon (the quiet one, who doesn't like the celebrity, like the limelight), wrote this song to his wife. Everyone talks about brian/lead guitarist, Roger/drummer, and Freddie/lead singer, but John D. Is the is. John is the one who wrote the (infamous, intro), guitarist riff to the song "Under pressure" aka "Ice Ice baby". John is the only band member who doesn't perform with the band since Freddie died. RIP Freddie. "We love you John. #africanamericanqueenfan 👑

Roger, the drummer is everyone’s best friend. 😍😍 i’d recommend “I Want It All.” it’s a video but feels like you’re at a concert. Freddie kills it!

QUEEN the miracle reaction

[@gutsoverfear5048]

This song has "fun" video though. Good song

[@sherryheim5504]

This is a really pretty song, John wrote a few hits for the band. I think everyone at that time was influenced by the Beatles, and Queen sort of considered the Beatles as the band that set the bar so you are probably right. This was a big hit in the USA for Queen. Thank you for reacting to this song.

[@dinigee]

One of my all time favorite Queen songs (among MANY) is a deep cut from the A Day At The Races album called Teo Torriate (Let Us Cling Together). It’s a gorgeous song, so beautifully sung.

[@kathleenohare8770]

Bassist John Deacon wrote this about his wife

[@mod850]

So stoked about the Queen kick you've been on, Mon Ami. There's not really a bad Queen song, except for maybe possibly Delilah, but it's so hilarious, it doesn't even matter.

[@deboraclark5791]

White Queen is great. The bassist John wrote it this song for his wife. Great reaction.

[@aprilebert157]

Seven seas Of Rhye is rhe one that got me hooked. It was and will always be my favorite. The official version.

[@aprilebert157]

New sub tagging along for the queen journey

[@sumonjamal1653]

There wasn't a British band in the 70's that didn't have a Beatles influence in their music... Queen was no exception. Their harmonies were inspired by the Lennon/McCartney vocal harmonies for sure. Of course, the press was very leery of bands that came out and gained popularity after the Beatles... Led Zeppelin were grilled in their early days by press about how they compared w/ the Beatles - after a while, they got sick of the same questions and stopped giving interviews.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Queen's harmonies were not inspired by The Beatles or The Beach Boys, Queen used different harmonies. They were inspired by The Beatles and their studio production.

[@sumonjamal1653]

@@ZENOBlAmusic If u listen to Freddie Mercury's Little Richard influence, it's obvious in "Don't stop me now"...BUT Freddie didn't sound like or emulate Little Richard (That would be copying or duplicating) Instead, he channeled himself the way Little Richard did, and it came out sounding like Freddie - that's how inspiration works... Queen didn't harmonize like Lennon/McCartney... but that Beatles influence is obviously there... but they made it sound like Queen. It was the same way Buddy Holly & the Crickets inspired the Beatles... the Beatles didn't sound like Buddy Holly. It had to BE different... Even Led Zeppelin, that was vastly different from the Beatles... their psychedelic sound did obviously inspire Zeppelin's more trippy songs like 'The rain song' ... 'No Quarter'... but they didn't sound like the Beatles. Zeppelin were huge fans of Willie Dixon, but their covers were different. If u listen to 'White riot' by The Clash, it was total knock-off of the Ramones... but when they recorded "Should I stay or should I go" - that sounded more like them, but still w/ the Ramones influence.

[@urivan9613]

@@ZENOBlAmusic I don't rule out some indirect Beach Boys influence, but I think Queen's harmonies are inspired mainly by Gospel (e.g Somebody To Love) and classical English Choir (e.g Bohemian Rhapsody).

[@twanadenson1293]

Try "The Prophets Song" by them. It showcases their harmonic voices

[@kinslayermds]

If it hasn't been recommended yet, "Love of My Life" is AMAZING! Definitely recommend a live version.....Rio, Wembley or Montreal are the tops IMO

Love of my life is one of my favs! I love Queen's original, but I am also a Marc Martel fan and went to a Marc Martel Queen Tribute concert.

This song hits hard especially today, my father is in the hospital, we have removed all medications, except morphine, and his vitals are slowly dropping. My Mom is here and they have been together for 63 years. He has fought and fought and fought, just last week he said to her, Mama I am sorry, I don’t know how much longer I can do this and hang on. She said, Dad, don’t fight anymore, I will be okay, the kids will make sure of it. Still he fought. So you are correct, when you have that special someone in your life that can literally “make you live” hang on to that person. Because it becomes more important the older you get. ❤️

I think this is one of Queen's best songs but it's often overlooked because it's mellow and doesn't "rock out".

He absolutely has as much talent as the other 3, he's just not as showy.

[@debramoore7513]

Written by John Deacon for his wife then girlfriend Veronica! There was some hesitation by Roger Taylor (rock star) in singing “happy at home”.🤣 Freddie refused to play the electric keyboard (“why should I when I have this superb piano to play”). So John took the electric keyboard home & learned to play it for the song! John retired in 1997 after Freddie passed away in 1991. John has six children & still married to his “Best Friend”. 💖💖
