Don’t let Stacey watch "These are the days of our lives" because we’re going to lose her in a sea of tears.

[@gg41r]

I had that tune played at my Dads Celebration Of Life ceremony, when he passed. So moving

[@Chris_Elliot84]

Still breaks my heart watching that video. She'll be a complete mess by the ending of the video

[@colinwinspear7414]

Or Love Of My Life 💕

[@follow_the_money_trail]

It's just a matter of time before she reacts to it. I watched when the video was aired for the first time on TV the day after he died. Still destroys me whenever I see it. 😢

[@neil2444]

Oh man, you're absolutely right. That's such an emotional song.

[@jca111]

The day after Freddie died I was driving to first proper job in Bristol, SW England. They announced Freddie had died on the radio and played bohemian rhapsody and radio gaga back to back. I looked around at the traffic lights, and every one was singing along to the radio in time with a tear in their eye. Everyone. Radio had it's finest hour.......

[@KowalskyLeon]

I was in the last class in elementary school, 14 years old and it was probably Monday when we heard the news about Freddie's death. Me, my sister and parents had tears in our eyes as if someone from our family died. You couldn't hate this person. He was a friend to hundreds of millions of people around the world.

[@stevenclarke5606]

I remember the UK Sunday papers announced that Freddie had AIDS and was seriously ill, poor Freddie passed away the next day. We miss you Freddie

[@stefan8405]

​@@KowalskyLeon 14 yo still at elementary school? Not the brightest bulb in the box eh?

[@KowalskyLeon]

@@stefan8405 In that time elementary school lasted for 8 years, from 7 till 15 years old, you burnt out bulb...

[@OrganMusicYT]

@@KowalskyLeon Seems strange to me that someone would be in primary school till they were 15... in the UK you start Primary School at 5 and High School when you are about 12 years old, and by the time you are 16 you can leave and get a job, or go to college or university, or stay on for another two years till you are 18/19 and then do the above.

[@Rob-eo5ql]

He’s remembering & singing about his childhood: First verse: “I'd sit alone & watch your light My only friend thru teenage nights And everything I had to know I heard it on my radio…” Then fears MTV videos (huge at the time) will replace radio and the next generation will loose ‘something’ Last verse: “Let's hope you never leave, old friend Like all good things on you we depend So, stick around 'cause we might miss you When we grow tired of all this visual…” Brilliant. What a song.

[@parnilsson322]

It is actually Roger Taylor remembering his childhood since he wrote Radio Ga Ga.

[@BardOfAndromeda]

@@BrotherChad It seems likely the Buggles' song inspired this to some extent, as it came out about 4 years before Roger Taylor wrote Radio Gaga and was also a big hit.

[@paulopinheirosc]

@@BardOfAndromeda Funny fact: "Video Killed The Radio Star" was the first video on MTV when the channel started.

[@DanInBranson]

@@paulopinheirosc The iorny....MTV killed the video star.

[@stevelanza8195]

Another great song about the radio is The Spirit of Radio by Rush. Neil Peart was an amazing song writer, as well as the GOAT drummer.

[@LorcrystNySell]

First of all, NEVER be afraid or ashamed of crying, whatever your gender or whatever is. Music is about emotions, and Queen were masters of conveying those emotions. I have not found a single song by this legendary band that did NOT stir something deep in me, even their silliest ones like "Fat Bottomed Girls". Freddie Mercury was a genuine genius, there are a lot of "myths" and "legends" that will NEVER be confirmed nor negated about him (by deliberate choice), like the story of how he recorded "The show must go on" in one take, after his band mates asked him if he felt like it while literally on his death bed, answering "yeah let's do this", downing a shot of vodka and giving everything while suffering from multiple organ failure. That band changed the world (and themselves) several times, they STILL have a worldwide impact three decades later, everyone on, in and around this planet has at least heard a couple of lines of at least one of their songs without realizing it ... and their lyrics always have several layers of meaning, hitting deep "right in the feels". Honestly, ALL their songs are so good they hurt, most often in good ways, but some just tear your heart and soul into pieces. You really should listen to them all, because they are too beautiful to miss, but be braced, I'm a 50 yo male survivor of PTSD and numerous painful events, and I still cry listening to some songs like the first day I heard them. Stay strong, enjoy life, and enjoy music.

[@DazzSpazz-l4b]

Well said dude

[@atkinja]

Amen!!

[@barbaramay1866]

MTV was in its early stages and this was their way to honor the miracle of the radio. That’s what I’m thinking. “Someone still loves you.”

[@plasticcreations7836]

I was at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992 and we did the clapping thing when they played Radio Gaga. It was magical.

[@peterlocke5204]

How lucky we are to live in a time when music videos and recording exist. Freddie and the band will always be the soundtrack to our lives, never forgotten!!.

[@oniebaloney]

i feel your emotion stacey, sending a huge hug. Queen aren't just a band they really are part of our lives and memories xx

[@tz1592]

I promise you that Freddie is looking down on you and smiling. Your heartfelt emotion is wonderful to see. Thank you for making this video and appreciating his amazing talent.

[@marykidd4004]

Your emotional reactions are a mirror of my own. Freddie breaks my heart and makes me happy all at the same time.

[@kayserchishti7303]

no need to apologize Stacey , Freddie made music to touch your heart, to touch your life and if he could he would touch and wipe your tears away.

[@Buddha-of8fk]

Back then radio was so important. We would listen just waiting to hear our favorite song. Then when it came on it was magic. The good old days.

[@kevin982]

Watching you get emotional got me emotional. I love love love Queen.

[@KowalskyLeon]

I've been listening to this song for 40 years and I still don't get tired of it. I still get goosebumps when I listen to it. It's a timeless song.

[@rudymorganti7155]

No worries Stacey, still gets me every time and I'm 60. We all love you Freddie. Hugs from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤

[@Hoddleandwaddlelegend]

There is nothing wrong with crying it shows just how much you loved Freddie and the boys I'm a 70 year old man and I often cry when listening or watching great artists ❤❤

[@Hoddleandwaddlelegend]

Happy birthday young lady have a lovely day 😘 💗 ❤️

[@Hoddleandwaddlelegend]

Thanks for the highlighted comment it's appreciated

[@shayne2113]

You can go down a huge rabbit hole of this song/live aid. Where it came in their career, MTV and “video killed the radio star”. It truly is a century of music and humanity coming to this moment. I’ve been obsessed for years with this 😂😂

[@yvrkid7070]

Roger Taylor was inspired to write this song by his son who was a toddler saying "radio caca" when he didn't like what he heard on the radio. Roger's common-law wife was French so their son spoke french. Caca means poo in french. If you listen carefully the first words of the chorus say "all we hear is radio caca". My favourite lines are "you made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry, you made us feel like we could fly." I love that you are so moved by Queen songs. Don't apologize for getting emotional. Buckle up for another of Roger's best songs , These Are the Days of Our Lives, also written for his children, but also a reminiscing of the life of the band and an emotional goodbye to the fans from Freddie.💔

[@givemespace2742]

So don't become some background noise... and that's what happened.

[@CBZCBZ-u1e]

I've just realised that I'm not the only person who cries listening to Freddie Mercury's voice. It really makes a hole in your heart and goes it through so sweetly, so sweetly

[@ellet6560]

I remember the day Freddie died. The day prior, a press release confirmed his illness but no one was surprised, his fans knew. However, the next day came as a shock to me; I had taken the announcement that his health was failing but not that he was, quite literally, on his deathbed. The press was so cruel, what an evil, horrible way to earn a living. For me, Freddie's death amplified the pain the world had been going through for several years. He wasn't the first celebrated person to die of AIDS and he wasn't the last, but he and Queen were special in my life so Freddie's suffering touched me greatly. The turmoil of those years are difficult to put into words. Lives were slipping through our fingers and there was nothing to stop it; the afflicted were blamed for their own demise. Awful. RIP, dear Freddie and every other soul who suffered and died.

[@kenpullig1652]

Like you saw in LiveAid the crowd responded to Freddie and the guys. So many performers can get large crowds to interact, but there was always something special about Freddie and Queen's relationship with their fans. Freddie didn't sing "to" the audience, he performed "for" them, and they knew it and gave back the same love multiplied by thousands.

[@matthewmarcinko9157]

Believe it or don't, THIS is the song from where Lady Gaga got her name! True story...

[@hrehtfjrtsjtrktkhrf]

I remember performing this song in front of around 100 people at a school concert. Everybody clapped to the "All we hear is **clap clap** Radio Ga Ga" part. It was incredible. Please let Queen's music forever be immortal. They are the greatest band in the history of music, in my opinion respectively.

[@romeroflores7576]

Great inventive music video for it's time. There is still so much more Queen music yet to discover. I think you are in love with Freddie's crystalline voice. He is one of the greatest of all rock singers to me. But for a simple whimsical rock video, I'm surprised you were touched by it. ...Hormones maybe?🎶🙂Or just a total empath....Wait till you hear "Bijou" and "The Show Must Go On' ...👑🎼🎶

[@fcocartin]

Listening to ‘Radio Ga Ga’ by Queen always takes me back to my childhood. The song is a beautiful tribute to the golden age of radio, and it resonates deeply with me. Growing up, the radio was my best friend, always there to keep me company and fill my days with music and stories. Every time I hear this song, it’s like looking into a mirror and seeing my younger self, filled with nostalgia and warmth. Thank you, Stacey, as always, for this unique reaction. And a big thank you to my Mom for her wonderful taste in music and for gifting me the radio when I was 6 years old. It did change my life!" Darn it, I'm tearing up from this reaction too!

[@sjoekiloeki]

I literally grew up with the music of Queen, from Killer Queen till These Are The Days. I wasn't a very big fan in my youth but I always loved their song 'Save Me" , só beautiful, you should react to that one, it's from 1981. Anyways, you really know what you're missing when it's gone and that's with this great band and great singer and performer Freddy was. I'm 53 now but my I still can't keep my eyes dry when listening to some of their songs and especially now when you got emotional, wow, you got me there🥲

[@deborahallen3318]

Never a need to apologize, Freddie had a energy and passion about him that mortal man can not explain! I've watched Freddie thousands of times and I still get goose bumps and I can't hold back the bitter sweet tears. Us Queenies know all to well those feelings are about. A pure legend 🌈💙🫶👑🕊

[@bdmention]

Two of the best songs about growing up listening to the radio. This and Rush's 'Spirit of the Radio'.

[@fredinaz]

@@bdmention Exactly!!

[@davidcorbett341]

This band was on another level of brilliant. His voice stage presence was tuely powerfull. This song does bring out emotions in people it does with me and this song never grows old.

[@scottclark7309]

We as queen fans to this day are all heart broken on the loss of Freddie. But the good thing is that people like yourself are Carrying on Freddie's memory to new generations and generations to come. Freddie is looking down from heaven with a big smile on his face R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU

[@abeldelarosa539]

Feel the emotion, sweet lady it goes way deep inside, i felt it, while watching queen live aid performance 1985 as a 14:yr teenager, then again while watching the end of the movie 🍿,just a few years ago, rest in peace Freddie Mercury....

[@arip9188]

Thank you for all your emotions and your tears. I'm a depressed man and I love to see that I'm not the only one crying over this song and so many other beautiful pieces of music.

[@PaulWalker-hz6zp]

Any performer would be proud to know their music makes one emotional! 🙂🙂

[@Zorros2ndCousinTwiceRemoved]

Don't be sorry for "losing it". This emotionality is what connects us.

[@TheSpliffMaster]

The way i like to look at it is, Freddie gave it his all in his first appearance and his last. He was always giving us his best that he could whatever the situation.

[@runningleon9598]

When you cry I also cry...You have a big big heart!!! Thanks we have people like you in this planet.

[@xScooterAZx]

It's ok. I'm crying too. Sometimes I do hear Queen on the radio when I'm busy with something and I stop,and the tears come. And I cant stop them.

[@kinexkid]

This is my favorite song by queen! It perfectly encapsulates the vibe of the 80s

[@stewartnewman6365]

Please don’t apologise for being emotional, Stacey. Freddie gave the world everything he had and he is missed by millions. I am a 56 year old surfer and I still cry when I see these images of him. He is keenly missed. Good on you for sharing your genuine feelings, Stacey. Few people are brave enough to cry in public.

[@davidjohnstone7665]

You made me emotional, Queen was my life growing up, my hope , my emotions and my escape. .,but I have nothing but positive memories with queen ,..so much more than a band an entity of unity,…he will live forever.

[@dvdknight1]

Stacey another beautiful reaction to Queen, it’s heart touching.

[@neilschoenthal594]

I really miss the 80s when I hear this song. It was such a musical journey during that era!!

[@stevebaker459]

Every crowd that Freddie performed this song in front of, knew exactly what to do during the chorus. Freddie will always be the G.O.A.T. ❤

[@BerndLenzer]

Thanks for your reaction, Stacy. Truly heartbreaking is the Queen song "No one but you" by the rest of the band who wrote this song for Freddie. So emotional... but very tear-jerking.

[@Cadinho93]

Fun Fact: Lady Gaga favorite band is Queen and she created her name as a hommage to this song, as well as Queen. Also, this video is based upon the movie "Metropolis", a silent film from 1927. Every single movie that you've ever seen was inspired by this movie. It literally defined that approach to making movies throughout the 20th century. It's considered by many to be one the greatest films ever made. What is so timeless about that movie is, nearly more than 100 years later, it's only become more relevant.

[@doomhunter697]

large parts of that movie were feared lost until an unknown copy was discovered in 2006. There is still about 5% of it missing.

[@aking-plums6985]

Probably not the best timing in the world from Stacey saying "Wow magical and love it" as the video shows clips of Britain getting flattened during the blitz =(

[@Steve-PT]

Stacey, it's lovely you to see you so emotional over such a great singer. Freddie we miss you.. you brought such joy to so many people. R.I.P.

[@massakastuono7870]

This song meant a lot when it came out because at that time Radio was being taken by TV videos. We were so young and were listening to the radio every day and the song lyrics really hit us. This song was a big hit for us during high school time. Until today Radio is our best friend. Thank you Queen for all the good times.

[@RockinMamaT]

Hey girl always down for Queen. The show must go on is a must my friend. Freddie is the best front man ever ❤️ Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏

[@joshtaylor4583]

We hooked up a 100watt stereo system (with 18" speakers) to our t.v. so that we could hear and see this song on MTV way back when. I want my MTV!!!

[@BettyArmitage]

I absolutely love all of your reactions to Queen and Freddie, you so sweet❤. You actually express exactly how I feel about Queen and Freddie. I think that you would really like ‘You Take My Breath Away’ live Hyde Park 1976. Also…. ‘Liar’ live at the Rainbow 1974….. just to start off with some of their earlier songs. Then you will have so, so much more Queen to experience….I will follow you all of the way. Thank you 💕

[@gill7045]

So nice to see you feel that too! The atmosphere of nostalgia gets me every time.

[@germanleo8421]

Thank you so much for all your reactions to QUEEN my favourite band since I was a Child . I'm from Chile , southamerica 🇨🇱 I loved your reactons to Pink Floyd too. 😊

[@cavebeastdemon3631]

This is my favorite Queen song. I love the bass and synth in the background and the reminiscent, melancholy-ish atmosphere. Again, Lady Gaga said she got her name from this song.

[@robertcampopiano6001]

One of my favorite Queen songs. The video uses footage from the epic and classic silent science fiction film “Metropolis”, directed by Fritz Lang. Lang had to create all of the visual effects from scratch since no one had done them before. He virtually wrote the book on how to do movie special effects.

[@yelnikigwawa1845]

It’s so much fun to watch you learning the many reasons WHY Queen’s LiveAid set is WIDELY considered the greatest set in rock history. Your tastes are spot-on. Keep on keeping on!

[@ianjonas7380]

Stacey you have so many kindred spirits in your enjoyment and appreciation of Freddie and Queen.

[@NoxiousRob]

I knew you were going to be taken aback when you saw the hand clapping scene for the first time, then suddenly understood why the audience at Live Aid responded in that way.

[@leonsimpson2230]

What's really cool is that everyone in the video are members of the official Queen fan club

[@dirkdiggler5913]

Freddie looks good but he was already so sick by now. No one will ever be better than this man. You’re a legend Freddie! 💕🤘😜🤘🙏

[@AlbertoGuitarrista]

I love what you said: "my Queen era is today, the present day". That's definitely what everyone should be able to understand. Music is timeless. I suggest you to react to "Is this the world we created?" and "It's a hard life", both from "The Works" album. Thank you for your videos.

[@tamasgaspar3821]

Dont say sorry because your reaction, tears. Freddie and the boys its want, emotion bring up. And after all these year their song still doing. Fantastic. "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

For some reason I love how you are so emotional, and divine at the same time, and how you define your emotions. I was like that when I heard this song like 20 years ago when I was a kid. Now I`m 32. Queen is a wonderful band, maybe the best ever, for me the best ever. And there`s a lot for you to discover for Queen, a lot of songs. About the song , Roger wrote the song, his son was his inspiration. Lyrics are focused on Radio, how the radio was popular item in most houses, but now it`s not, but it will become popular again. But radio is just a metaphor. This song could be about everything, like the better times will come. So I view the song as an optimistic one. :)

[@Gavrev]

That moment when you hit the chorus and realise via the live experience that Queen invoked interactive memes (no less!) years ahead of the internet, through their videos! A brilliant song and a great album, one of so many.. Whilst my own experience is no unusual it is the case that I've been following Queen since they captivated the 4 year old me with Bohemian Rhapsody. Having grown up with them it's always a joy to share in reactions, especially when it's alongside someone who discovers a similar level of joy. Those reflections of Freddie always come home when you see or hear anything of him.. that aspect is part of his legend and legacy, and he always seemed to just brush it off with a certain nonchalance - I think he'd be both amazed and even perhaps a little embarrassed at how his legacy continues. Worry not, you aren't going to run out of Queen to react to any time soon 🥰

[@jonaton7910]

This song sounds so nostalgic! Of course, it was a part of my childhood so it literally is for me lol, but it also just sounds so soft and the fact that it's a reflection of the past while commenting on how times change makes it so good. Lovely reaction!

[@hansaugustsson7288]

I saw Queen on stage 1982 in Göteborg, Sweden. Already knew everything about them, but was still totally blown away. Their musicality, diversity and presence!

[@PeteOliva]

Even the very best music we have today is not anywhere close to on this level. It is insane the level of talent that we lost when did Freddie Mercury died. The brilliance of just the note choices and the simple but percectly arranged chords and how it's all orchestrated together is just so above and beyond genius level.

[@toddmadden9777]

You're crying ,I 'm crying, we're all crying...thanks ,Stacey...love the reaction, you know how hard it is to type through tears...Todd from Ohio...❤❤❤

[@richardhargrave6082]

The crowd always mimicked the video, I was lucky to see Queen at Knebworth and its an amazing thing to be part of. Freddie was the master showman. I can never be sure if the video is inspired by Metropolis or 1984, maybe a bit of both

[@PB-sk9jn]

You got it on live aid crowd following the video. They played along. Queen's genius is they DESIGNED their songs and videos for live participation.

[@josephwhite4489]

When I was in Senior High, this song was one of the favs of a girl I had A HUGE crush on..,,sadly, .'someone still loves you' would never reflect her opinion of me,,,sigh...C'est La Vie!!

You should watch his memorial concert, you will see how many artists loved Freddie and Queen. Get a box of tissues ready you will need them. ❤

[@ziusthefirst5387]

My first concert back in 1977 was Queen in Madison Square Garden. I've always loved Queen the band is GREAT! Freddie's voice cuts right through the heart and ones you feel his voice you never can forget how beautiful it is. Cry hon we all did and still do now and then. Great reaction Stacey. Cheers.

[@bjw0515]

You got more out of this song and the video than a majority of other reacts that have that watched Live Aid and the video. Queen has been a solid part of my life for as long as I can remember, and this is the Freddie I chose to remember. Yes we lost a major talent too soon but his legend and legacy will live forever!

[@traherne6726]

Plus Lady Gaga named herself from this song ! Good reaction. Also, it depicted World War 2, where the radio was so important, informing families of what was happening in the war.

[@mmuzzwell3654]

I have a strong feeling that Freddie would like you lots too Stace x

[@paulopinheirosc]

Your tears are so beautiful and so pure! When you thank Freddie I can almost see him laughing, smiling, and saying "You're welcome, darling!". It's hard to hold back emotion listening to that record. The arrangement is all about good music trying to survive. The bright piano, the bass sounding fretless (I think it's not, but it sounds like it), and the slide guitar, all cover up that all-electronic sound of the intro, which symbolizes the direction pop music was taking. Things were getting artificial and somehow it was not all about music anymore.

[@pwsegal]

I saw them on The Works tour in 1985 in Sydney Australia, as usual Freddy had the ~14K crowd eating out of the palms of his hand. When they got to this song, the whole crowd knew what was expected and we delivered.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

STACEY, FYI… Just this week, Queen Official released a NEW official music video for one of their earlier songs: “WHEN THE NIGHT COMES DOWN” ….When you get into Freddie’s OPERATIC Barcelona album with Montserrat Caballé (nickname Montsey): That’s when you’re hit with what an extraordinary, wide-ranged, raw TALENT Freddie was… and how much was LOST …how much future music and creativity.😴

[@christophersmith7041]

I watched your reaction to Queen at LiveAid, and Radio GaGa was a phenomenal performance from the band, Freddie had the crowd in the palm of hand, and Lady Gaga was a Queen fan this where her name originated,I have seen Queen live on many occasions in the late 70s -80s, they in my opinion were one of the greatest bands ever and Freddie the best frontman of a band ever, great reaction thanks 🙏

[@Melissa02891]

We all have times we get emotional watching Freddie. He always seemed larger than life. Having grown up with Queen his death hit me hard, the world was a better place with him in it. 👑

[@alexharbison4411]

Nice reaction. You do know you are an empathic. I bet you get emotional for everything important to you, especially the happy times.

[@МарияСмурова-ъ3ф]

I agree with every word of yours. This is literally what I feel every time I see and hear Queen. So complicated, so sophisticated - and at the same time so clear and inspiring... 👏👏👏💓

[@shannonturner8337]

I was 15 when Live Aid was aired and was lucky enough to watch the Queen broadcast. I love seeing someone your age truly appreciate this and have such an emotional reaction to a past some us can remember with fondness. Thank you

[@romaneberle]

i think what makes this song so overwhelming is that there's an unspoken connotation of family, home. "someone still loves you" is not only a nostalgic look back at the times when radio was technically the state of the art for information and entertainment, and teenage years experience. it's also a reference to a radio being the center of a family gathering - with a special nod to the important role radio played for our parents and grandparents (in the 1980s) during war times.

[@rubix2007]

Not only has it always been my favorite queen song, but the lyrics in the chorus mean the most of any song in the world to m e.

We all cry with you, so you don't have to be ashamed of it. My father and I listened to Queen, I learned to dance to this song from my father. Rest in peace Dad and Freddy😭🖤 Greetings from Germany!

Never apologize for being true with your emotions when reacting, especially Freddie Mercury and Queen! I'm 54 and was 14 when this song came out! Queen was a favorite band of mine. Freddie was a treasure. My favorite band of all time is Duran Duran, and luckily for me, they are still together producing new albums and still touring. They're doing their 17th studio album that will drop next year !

Thanks for your reaction, StaceY!!! Before you are done with your journey through the music of Queen don't you dare miss "White Queen" live from the Odeon Hammersmith, 1975!!! It's a Killer - no, wait, that's another one!!
