THIS IS FOR BRI!! - Soul Brother (QUEEN)- First Time Hearing.

This is Queen with Soul Brother. Apparently it was dedicated to Brian May, as he was uncertain what direction Queen was heading with the Hot Space album. Freddie decided to put together this song and gift it him. What a gesture. This is Queen with Soul Brother. Do enjoy the reaction. Thank you.

Lyrics:
God bless my soul, here he comes now
The man with the most, how does he do it, ha
Sure he's got style
He's so heavy
He's a trip
He can do anything, anything, anything
He's my soul brother
He's my best friend
He's my champion
And he will rock you, rock you, rock you
'Cos he's the saviour of the universe
He can make you keep yourself alive
Make you keep yourself alive
Oooh brother
'Cos he's somebody, somebody, you can love
He's my soul brother
When you're under pressure
Feeling under pressure (yeah), pressure (yeah), pressure
He won't let you down
When you're under pressure, oooh
Feeling under pressure, pressure
He won't let you down
Soul brother won't let you down
He won't, he won't, he won't let you down
He can do anything, anything, anything
He's my soul brother
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oooh, oooh, oooh
Soul brother
Anything (soul brother), anything (soul brother), anything (soul brother)
He's my soul brother, brother, brother, brother, brother
Anything (soul brother), anything (soul brother)
Anything (soul brother)
He's my soul
Soul brother
He can do anything
He can do anything
'Cos he's
He's my soul brother

I love this tune so Special 💝

[@bettybaby63]

Just so special. He could sing anything. Friends & the boys were his world. No matter what happened, they always circled back. “It’s a family, the group is the center.” ~Brian May

[@janematthews3394]

Love this song. Unusual sound for Queen:) Yeah Brian had a difficult time during "Hot Space" era. They argued a lot, and Brian said that after one tense argument he came to the studio the next morning and Freddie gave him the tape where he combined all Brian's solos into a symphony. He spent most of the night doing that, to make Brian feel better... He said "i want you to hear them like i hear them, darling". Brian said Freddie always tried to cheer them up after an argument.

[@bluebell3720]

I think that happened when they had to end their us tour with hoople due to Brian being in hospital and thought they'd move on without him Freddie took him the cassette of guitar solos

[@janetschulman7649]

References to champion , someone to love, rock me and keep yourself alive.

[@paulabessant120]

This is SO special; from the place all music is created and received from . . the heart. Made mine smile :)

[@alicefarr3927]

Oh how special ❤️

[@DjVice90]

Freddie dedicated the song to Brian May. "Freddie told me one day he had a surprise for me - he said, 'I've written a song about you - but it needs your touch on it!' I think, curiously, we were both working on songs separately which referred to each other. Can't remember which one of mine it was, since a lot of my songs were obliquely aimed at him (as well as to be sung by him!). Anyway. we got in the studio and he played this song. Now whether it was really about me I don't know. But I thought it was fab."

[@scottclark7309]

R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU!

[@snjezanasiklic8934]

Dear Freddie doing what he does best - making someone (all of us :-) feeling better by sheer force of his beautiful voice! Imagine having someone like that in your life!

[@deeyears3978]

Wow! First time I heard this song as well. Brian was not happy with the disco music on the Hot Space album, neither was Roger. Freddie would be the one to who would be like person who would write a song like this to show Brian how he felt. They were brothers. And Freddie was the most beautiful, caring person. Your reaction was great as usual Hap! Thanks for sharing this song. Freddie 4ever 🤴🏻❤️💯‼️. BTW to me it sounded like soul, gospel and jazz mixed

[@jeanflora4356]

Sinead O'Connor - 'Noone Compares To You'

[@reginakapaeva205]

God, I've never heard this song. I liked it very much. Thanks. Freddie's vocals are awesome

[@HelenaDax]

This song is one of my favourites. And yes, the lyrics made reference to some other Queen songs, like Flash or We are the champions. It was undoubtedly a lovely gesture ❤️

[@debramoore7513]

OMG!! Never heard this before!! True brotherhood 💕💕 Freddie’s vocals 😁

[@scottclark7309]

Freddie references 7 different queen songs in this song

[@nickwall2497]

He will rock you, rock you....... Brian wrote We Will Rock You and Keep Yourself Alive

[@kuntumhapsari6894]

Thanks for listening (and reacting) this song. Not many people know that song. Freddie voice in this song was very unique, and the background from the story of the song was so cool 😍

[@The1queencollector]

Love this gospelesque song, B side to Under Pressure. There are a number of references to other Queen songs so you are correct

[@Natalie-gb3gu]

Great reaction as usual 😉 You are the best ❤️ Queen forever!!! Please do reaction to: 1.These are the days of our lives- 2.let me live 3. No one but you (only good die young) 4. Winter tale....

[@lyndam.421]

First time I've heard this one!! Wow I'm impressed, but not surprised. Freddie could sing anything and make it sound great 💙 (I think I heard references of about 7 different Queen songs included in this "special" & beautiful song.) Thank you for sharing this with all us Queen & especially Freddie fans. 💜👑💜👍

[@denisemorris3626]

This is Freddie making other people happy your reactions are great 👍

[@Terri6868]

Never heard this before. Bri was the rocker part of Queen. They always said they were like bro’s. 👑

[@korinalacount2664]

yup Freddie wrote this for his bro Bri! Love it!

[@kathrynmitchell4344]

Loved this song. I think Freddie took so much crap from the press about his sexualjty,,& racism,& xenophobia, etc. Brian & the other guys showed great loyalty & support, they had his back. They continued after his death, sticking up for him on tv & during the filming of the recent movie, doing a lot to help, to try & tell the story in a good way.. Great friends.

[@Sassypaws4927]

I thought you might like to read what Brian wrote on Queenpedia in 2003: "Freddie told me one day he had a surprise for me - he said, ‘I’ve written a song about you - but it needs your touch on it!’ I think, curiously, we were both working on songs separately which referred to each other. Can’t remember which one of mine it was, since a lot of my songs were obliquely aimed at him (as well as to be sung by him!). Anyway. we got in the studio and he played this song. Now whether it was really about me I don’t know. But I thought it was fab. I know he wrote it in about 15 minutes!. As to why not on album (The Game) - well, Freddie deliberately wrote it as a B-side to fill a gap, so I imagine the album was already sewn up.

[@GinMae]

Well, this perhaps belies my original impression - (but "he wrote it in 15 minutes"? - so very considered?) -- Of course, Freddie could write a masterpiece in 10 minutes, so...

[@taniagariepy]

Thanks Hap, haven’t heard it before, lovely to read the comments below.

[@reginakapaeva205]

I never understood why everyone doesn't like this album (Hot space). He's so cool. Bright, even now it sounds very fresh and relevant. It's full of cool songs Back chat, Staying power, Put out the fire, Life is Real, Las Palabras, Under Pressure. I even love Body Language. She's very turned on. I always respect Freddie for the fact that he was not afraid to experiment in his work and covered so many genres.

[@Artisian12656]

I've never heard of this song before but it's beautiful. Freddie's voice in gospel or blues is perfect. Thank you.

[@LaciousC]

He's my best friend (You're my best friend) He's my champion (We are the champions) And he will rock you, rock you, rock you (We will rock you) 'Cos he's the saviour of the universe (Flash) He can make you keep yourself alive (Keep yourself alive) Make you keep yourself alive Oooh brother 'Cos he's somebody, somebody, you can love (Somebody to love) He's my soul brother When you're under pressure (Under pressure) He can do anything, Freddie really believed Brian could do anything with his guitar. Also the Pressure thing, Brian had some problems with the Bowie collab. Soul Brother was released as a b-side to Under Pressure. It didn't really gel between him and Bowie. Brian wrote an anti Bowie song after this called I Go Crazy.

[@carolefournier345]

I love this song who was especially written for Brian... ☺️

[@chrisy8989]

Very different! Enjoying hearing this. 💖

[@colinrichardson4490]

Another gem from Queen, Freddie voice just sit back and enjoy 💯as always great reaction 💯👏👌👍

[@joymaxs2874]

Awww looking at all these photos make me think how much soul connections they had/have. Thanks for sharing this and loved your reaction,Hap ❤️

[@hippiejane2683]

Sweet, sweet song! Not the greatest Queen song by a long shot but love the sentiment. Can just imagine how upset Brian was by the Hot Space album and so nice that Freddie was encouraging him to hang in there. Love “he will rock you, rock you, rock you” and “saviour of the universe” lines.

[@dezperez1998]

Great choice and reaction..lots of us first time hearing queen hidden gems..most caring and sweet rock star awww....its like cool cat, exercises in free love type, love freddie's falsetto...queen is the genre coz they have freddie... mercury..

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Well said!

[@christineharrison1111]

Oh Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been trying to get someone to react to this for quite a while. It's so unique and sweet. Notice all the Queen song titles in it?

[@nickswildlifefootage9392]

How many queen song does freddie sing in soul brother.. Under pressure keep your self alive...

[@kathrynmitchell4344]

It reminds .did a combo action of Motown & Freddie's My Melanchly Blues.. Freddie & John loved R&B, Brian & Roger preferred a more heavy rock style. Freddie & Brian both loved Jimi Hendrix, Brian for the guitar, Freddie for the showmanship& style.

[@TheresaJohns-xp4gh]

All the back ground vocals are also Freddys

[@quinto34]

ahh this was on the b-side of the Under Pressure single back in the days..

[@debbiebush5887]

Hi HAP. I just love how QUEEN can literally do any song and any genre and do it very well. You still got alot of QUEEN songs still to get to. Keep going on this endless odyssey with QUEEN. You know you will have to do some full concert reactions and I cant wait untill because you will know why they are the GREATEST live band EVER. Thank you HAP for all you do. Keep THE MIRACLE EXPRESS coming with QUEEN. Love ya my brother. Take care of yourself. Your girl QUEEN BEE.

[@DianeSmith0946]

they all had much love and respect for each others talents.

[@nickwall2497]

Another real deep cut by Queen is a song called Dog With A Bone. It's an unreleased track from The Miracle sessions. A modified version of the this track was recorded to be played at the 1988 Queen Fan Club convention. The convention version features a message from each member of the band. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJbPo3atfMaFp9U

are you single? just wondering🤭

I'm not obligated to answer this right? Lol

Please react to 'Michael, Mick and Freddie' "State of Shock"

Hi. Its already done. Just type State of shock hap3speakz And it should pop up. Thank you. 👑

[@Janetjrfan]

Hard to believe I had never heard this. This is epic, thank you!

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Thanks for listening

[@theresarandall7448]

This song shows that Freddie considered Queen brothers that were going through a rough patch but that they were and will be ' brothers '.

[@melinakristinmercury9586]

Woaw never heard before.....ohh he was so nice, writhing this for Brian....LOL very nice ♥️

[@GinMae]

thanks, Hap - this is the first time I've ever heard this... gotta say, though, IDK... I'm "on the fence" about if this is really good... Freddie's vocals are amazing, as usual; tune is .. well, okay -- but it reminds me a bit of the made-up songs I do for my Mom & siblings on their birthdays... a bit silly and referencing past experiences... I do like your reaction, though... I'm sure Brian appreciated it, but I also wonder if maybe he rolled his eyes and said to himself -- "Fred, you needn't have - I wasn't going to leave the band anyway" lol

[@LMTino]

About Hot Space - I read that "Back Chat" was John's kick at Brian and to ease tensions Freddie wrote "Soul Brother." No matter which version is true, Freddie remains the diplomat btwn friends. [If you give Back Chat a listen, you can see why this music & its energy spoke to Freddie.]

[@alicefarr3927]

Freddie’s voice is so great and has so much meaning in his words. ❤️

[@alicefarr3927]

Those guys were such loving brothers ❤️❤️❤️❤️ even when they got aggravated 😂😂

Just something that stood out to me and I am sure to others.

[@geraldineflora1967]

Thank you for responding so fast.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Always!

[@micheleshelley6156]

I do believe that there was a great deal of cheekiness in the song as well. Freddie had a wicked sense of humor.

[@flossyangel1]

first time I have heard this song awesome request

[@sirfermainclancharlie1018]

The song sounds overtly gay but soo talented rendition.
