Same. Arms wide open screaming at the sky as the Quickening finds its prize. I loved Sean Connery’s mentor character. We all wanted a dad, uncle or grandpa like him (or Captain Kirk lol). Clancy Brown is a good villain to watch; still deserves head removal but I enjoyed watching him confidently step into that hoodlum causing chaos role. I think of him when I see safety pins.

This song is from the soundtrack to The Highlander with Sean Connery, Christopher Lambert and Clancy Brown. An excellent cult classic with OUTSTANDING music. Much love ❤️ …if love must die

[@chrissmith7669]

Technically it’s not the soundtrack to Highlander. The studio bungled and never really had a queen soundtrack. A kind of magic was the best soundtrack that wasn’t a soundtrack of all time

[@CuttinEJ]

@@chrissmith7669, I heard it while watching The Highlander way back when that was new. The only music you hear in a movie is the soundtrack. This song is from that soundtrack.

[@chrissmith7669]

@@CuttinEJ That’s the thing. It’s in the movie and everyone calls it the soundtrack but as far as I know the movie people never released an official movie soundtrack. It’s from the Queen Album “A kind of Magic” that everyone calls the soundtrack because it has most of the songs used in the film. I call it the greatest soundtrack that’s not the soundtrack. Lol

[@CuttinEJ]

@@chrissmith7669, a soundtrack doesn’t have to be released to actually be a soundtrack. Back when The Highlander was released a lot of soundtracks weren’t released separately. This movie in particular was a fairly low budget film that I don’t even remember seeing in theaters. My understanding is that one of the ways Queen was enticed to write the score was that they retained the right to release an album. Even the name of the album was taken from a line in the movie when Connor is saying goodbye to Rachel. “It’s a kind of magic.” So, yes, this is from the soundtrack.

[@CuttinEJ]

@@chrissmith7669, I should mention that “low budget” isn’t an insult or a slur. Considering the cast, crew and music they were operating on a shoestring just to get it done. Producing a soundtrack for separate release would almost certainly have been cost prohibitive.

[@jasondoss763]

Brian May! I don't know if y'all noticed that the first verse was sung by Brian May, the guitarist. He also wrote this song. He also wrote and directed the orchestration. Let's not forget, Freddie isn't the only genius in Queen. Oh, yeah...Brian is also an Astrophysicist.

[@RolandDeschain19]

Despite this song being written by Brian May for the Soundtrack of Highlander, this has a lot of foreshadowing of Freddie's passing, which makes this song even more special for its style and quality.

[@FuzzyFoot58]

The band knew Freddie was sick when they made this album.

[@equinorev4558]

Bonjour, il savait déjà qu’il était condamné quand il a enregistré cette version, il manque tellement 😢❤

[@Moviefan2k4]

@@FuzzyFoot58 Sick, maybe...but unlike the scene in the "Bohemian Rhapsody" film, Freddie wasn't actually diagnosed with HIV until 1987, a year after this film came out. And because there were no reliable treatments for it at the time, he only lived four more years.

[@FuzzyFoot58]

@@Moviefan2k4 I believe that Brian mentioned that they all suspected that Freddie was sick long before he actually got the diagnosis. It was very common back then to push off going to the doctor to find out, because they were afraid to get an official death sentence with a positive diagnosis. He most likely had symptoms for a year or more before he got up enough courage to see a doctor.

[@michaelminch5490]

When you watch Highlander, make sure it's the Director's Cut. There's a pivotal scene, cut from the theatrical release, that explains the relationship between two characters. Brilliant film. One of my absolute favorites. Queen contributed several songs besides this one. It's a kind of magic.

[@spambaitpro]

[@FeaturingRob]

Okay...now that you have heard this song, you need to see the film it comes from...Highlander! Starring Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, and Clancy Brown, it tells the story of immortals battling in New York City to win a mystical prize, with lots of flashbacks to eras in history focusing on Lambert's character, Connor Macleod (Mac Cloud), a Scots warrior from 16th Century Scotland. The scene that this song plays over is haunting and sad...and one of my favorite moments in the film. This is just one of several songs Queen wrote for the film, others being "Kind Of Magic", "Princes Of the Universe", "One Year Of Love", "Gimme The Prize", and "Hammer To Fall". All of the songs were released on the Kind of Magic album.

[@ScottieContact]

[@pagemeredith4532]

[@magnificentfailure2390]

I have no idea what these other guys are talking about. They never made any sequels to Highlander or a TV show. Nope. They sure as hell wouldn't remake it. It's a perfect movie. It has a perfect end. "My bonnie Heather..." Oh my god, what a scene.

Losing him felt like losing a family member. I grew up with a grand piano in my home and it was played almost every day and it was almost always a Queen song that got played. Music lost so much when we lost Freddie.

"Forever is that today? What is forever anyway" Such a powerful line

[@Neil_BT]

There's a lovely quote from Sir Terry Pratchett about living forever. "No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away." It's so true. None of these stars will ever truly be dead with art like this left behind to make them live on. I mean some of the great classical composers have been gone for hundreds of years, but still we speak their names.

[@dhernandezdp]

This is probably my favourite quote ever. I've read that book several times just for that one line...

[@AcidBathFreakshow]

Such a beautiful song, a lament from an immortal to his mortal love as she passes. A fantastic anthem from Highlander, a movie well worth a reaction I think.

[@chriso6719]

This was the love theme in the movie Highlander, starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery. A 1986 sci-fi movie about a race of immortals living among us. Queen did the soundtrack. Check out the theme song "Princes of the Universe".

Perfect music for the montage of Connor's wife aging while he doesn't. Sad and sweet.

[@scottswenson383]

@@conniedean1977 Couldn't agree with you more and it wasn't even close. I recently introduced my sister to the show and she absolutely loves it as well. Sure there was some 90's cheese but the series delved into so many more interesting things about what actually being an immortal meant. Topics that they couldn't really touch on (much less in depth) in the the movies due to time constraints. Adrian Paul and Stan Kirsh were both so good in their roles. Amanda was a really good side character as well, and then there was Methos who was the best character in the whole series. So interesting that a reboot of the movies is confirmed and in the works. I think with the director of John Wick and Henry Cavill on board as Connor MacLeod there is a real chance for the thing to succeed. The rumors are that apparently they are going not only borrow from what's already been done in the movies but also borrow ideas and lore from the series which should also up the chance for it to be really good.

[@TheCkent100]

Thank you so much for playing the official video. The live version only has Freddy doing both vocal parts, where this one shows the beautiful contrast between Brian's and Freddy's vocals. While Freddy's vocals are always great, I prefer heading the two different vocals on this one. By the way, there is an instrumental version of this song called "Forever", which is a bonus track on the "A Kind Of Magic" album. That album is mostly the soundtrack for the movie "Highlander", but also includes "One Vision" from the movie "Iron Eagle". To fully understand the meaning behind this song, you really need to watch the movie "Highlander". I recommend the director's cut, which has a little more background information filled in. I don't want to ruin the song or the movie for you, but the song directly relates to a key part of the movie.

[@woahblackbettybamalam]

There is a studio version with freddie singing the first verse, i prefer it tbh

[@treetopjones737]

There was some legal battle about making a soundtrack album for the film, so the A Kind Of Magic album was Queen's workaround for it.

[@stevev111]

They were originally asked to do one track for the film and ended up doing the music for the whole film. Incidentally all songs were recorded the old way of having the film playing in the studio as they played and sang whilst being recorded.

I've been a massive Queen fan since I was a kid (im now 50) ...I was lucky enough to be brought up in a house were music was so important ..my mum dad and elder sister had a rich mix of music playing all the time ..I used to get woken up on a satuarday morning to my mum hoovering (vacuming) with Bohemian rhapsody or Radio GaGa , Led Zepplins Stairway to heaven and many others blasting out of the stero ....but it was Queen that really connected with me ..even though everyone knew Freddie was ill it was still such a blow when he passed ..such a shame ..Great reaction 👍

[@eugeneasbell9874]

This song is even more impactful and powerful when you consider that it is part of The Highlander soundtrack. There is an incredibly moving montage in one of the episodes of the tv series that features this song. It speaks to the tragedy of outliving those you love in a very profound sense because mortality is exaggerated by way of contrast to the lives of the Immortals (Connor and Duncan MacCleod, respectively) in the movie and the show.

A friend of my dad's when I was a kid lost his wife in a car accident he was driving when a drunk driver came out of nowhere in a dodge truck on his wife's side while running a stop sign. She was such a nice lady to me every time we went to her house. Her favorite band was queen. After her funeral the husband literally shut down in depression drinking blaming himself for the wreck. He thought if he had driven a bit faster or slower it wouldn't have hit right on her door. Her mom took their son home to stay because the husband would just set all day drinking trashing his house and listening to this song trying to make up his mind if he's going to follow her now or later. He almost self deleted but my dad and some of their work buddies went to take him out and found him blaring this song holding his wife's dress in one hand a bottle in themother and a gun on the floor between his legs.my dad picked him up grabbed a picture of the son and wife at the beach hanging on the wal taken by the dad slammed it on the table and yelled look at this. Then he knocked the bottle out the guys hand and pretty much shoved his face into the picture. Dad told him look at this. You think your wife would want you to leave your son alone?the other friends unloaded the gun put it back in his cabinet but took all the bullets out the house.the guy started sobbing like a baby and my dad brought him home to look after him for a month and a half.my mom was friends with her too and mom sat and cried with him on our couch as my 7 year old brain was wondering wth going on. Eventually from the csre of mom and my dad he straightened up. Went back to work but sold his house. Was too painful so him and his son moved closer to hus parents.this song though to this day reminds me of the guy. Plus the hilander movie. Good movie you all need to watch it.

Immortality isn't you living forever. It's everyone-else dying.

[@-REMOwilliams]

I can't imagine dying of a disease and having to write songs for a movie, about a man that is Immortal. Has to watch everyone he ever loved pass away while he never grows older.

[@user-ok1rh3qh3b]

Live each day as if it was your last, Live your life as if you where IMMORTAL.

Freddy will live on forever 😢❤😢❤

[@jodiedrew9367]

My all time favourite Queen song. Rip Freddie ❤🇬🇧

[@johnstevens4628]

Freddie was just the best ever. Miss him everyday. Thanks Freddie. Thank you guys for a great video. Jx

[@benmason9755]

Definitely gotta watch Highlander on your Movie Reactions after this. Such an awesome movie.

[@Reshtarc]

Freddie was royalty but he was no King . this Man was 100% a Queen.

[@shirleyujest7786]

I can't hear this song without immediately saying, Highlander! This beautiful song was used because they are immortals in the fantasy film I loved how well it fit the subject matter.

[@danielp8433]

one of the favorite songs of my dad , and i love queen since childhood, heard the best of LP so often.

[@terrybachman7397]

This song was featured in the 1986 movie Highlander. Very moving!!!!!!!

[@karenstanley6991]

I know what the next movie selection is "The Highlander" This song is key

[@jb8280]

All I know is I’m transported back to childhood. My weekend in Muskogee, Oklahoma and my dear Geannie drops me off at Curt’s Mall, where they have a dilapidated twin cinema and Highlander is playing. As a lifetime film buff, I couldn’t wait to see this based on the trailers and the fact Queen wrote the songs. It did not disappoint and now forever lives on my eternal soundtrack of my life.

[@timaustin2000]

Brian May wrote this while they were driving in a van. They were kicking around ideas for the Highlander soundtrack and this came into his mind and he started singing it. By the time of recording, Freddie was so impressed by it that he insisted that Brian be the opening vocalist.

[@SMGhost1982]

Since you were finally able to get to this song, you have to check out the movie "Highlander" (Which happens to be about immortals) in which this song was featured in. Queen had several songs in the soundtrack for it. Another of which is Hammer to Fall, which is in the movie you just saw about them when they performed at Live Aid!!!

[@dramaqueen6G]

Queen was commissioned to write the soundtrack for the movie Highlander, which was about a group of Immortals -- people who really did live forever. The song is about how it feels for them watch friends and loved ones get old and die while they lived on. You should also take a look at the live version of this from the Wembley 1986 concerts, which were the last time they performed together live. It's heartbreaking for me to hear Freddie sing this because at the time, even though he had not been diagnosed with AIDS, he was starting to feel ill, and I'm sure he had a suspicion of what it was. Loved your reaction, though. I'm ready for more!

[@I.am.Iain-81]

Such a beautiful song! Brian May sang some sections of this song which shows his singing talent. Brian & Roger sang on the track 'No one but you (only the good die young)' which was after Freddie death. You should check that beauty out soon. 👍

[@woodch]

This song has always felt like a love song between Brian May and Freddie Mercury. Not in the romantic way, but in the kind of love best friends and family have for each other. "Touch my tears with your lips," Brian sings to Freddie-- referring to his singing/lyrics helping to cope with the impending loss of Freddie (I think the band knew by this time, even if the public didn't) "Touch my world with your fingertips," Freddie sings to Brian-- referring to Brian's guitar playing having an effect on Freddie's life. "And we can have forever," referring to what they all created together lasting well beyond their years. Or maybe I'm just being fanciful.

[@cindyv1401]

This has always made my heart cry 💔💔💔 Freddie was such a massive God given talent R .I. Paradise 🙏🙏🙏

[@jsherretz64]

There can be only one!

[@kevincaulder20]

Your love for Freddie Mercury is the only tribute you need. You honor his memory but keeping his music alive. The fact that he played his cards close to the vest until the very end to protect his privacy and those around him during the crushing wave of fear during the height of the AIDS that brought everything but understanding to the world cannot diminish his legacy. More music for your listening. SAIL AWAY SWEET SISTER, HEADLONG, DRAGON ATTACK, & TOO MUCH LOVE WILL KILL YOU. Enjoy

[@SirHilaryManfat]

Hands down my favourite Queen song. It's a shame the music video omits the beautiful ending of the song, which is pure *chef's kiss*.

[@martinmulcahey1618]

This is from the great 'Highlander' movie (Queen did whole soundtrack for it, including this one!!) from 1980s, which might be a cool movie to react to as well. Movie will provide insight to lyrics as well, dealing with a type of immortal who does not want to fall in love since he will outlive anyone he falls in love with.

[@anthonykraemer2864]

Brian Mey is soooo talented on that guitar. And so academically accomplished. Doctorates in Music Theory and Astrophysics.

[@ScottieContact]

The others are talented as well. Jon Deecan, Rawjer Taeler, and Phreddy Murcrie

[@richardupcott9026]

I saw his name on a paper last week on a channel about astrophysics.

[@ScottieContact]

@@richardupcott9026 Did they spell it Mey also? 🤣🤣🤣

[@richardupcott9026]

@@ScottieContact Can not remember for sure. But the host (Dr. Becky), pointed out that he was from Queen.

[@anthonykraemer2864]

@@ScottieContact he did a project with NASA. Lucky aliens.

[@michaelgoing6695]

As others have mentioned, this was part of the soundtrack of "Highlander". Queen wrote and performed the entire soundtrack of the movie..

[@meister1176]

Back in 1992 I went to a Guns 'N Roses concert. They played in Frankfurt (Germany). Brian May was the 1st act. When he started singing this Song literally EVERYBODY cried!

[@bonnielemenager4030]

What has always struck me about this song is that Freddie Mercury knew he was very ill and didn't have much time left. This song (and the movie - "Highlander" - that it was written for_ always make me tear up. Just think of the magic tricks Freddie and the band would never be able to share with the world.

[@anamarquez4939]

Freddie was not ill when Brian wrote this song (well, he didn´t know it yet). He might be feeling something wrong, but he wasn´t diagnosed until 1987.

[@tehluhlah]

I don't want to spoil Highlander for you, but if you watch the movie and see the part it plays in it will downright YANK your heartstrings

[@janetdeloach8522]

One of the saddest songs of the Hilander movie. The drums sounded like heart beats as well. The emotions Freddie brought up are amazing........

[@gmdhargreaves]

Freddie’s death and Senna’s death definitely effected me as a child, RIP guys much love ❤❤❤❤
