  • simply amazing.... no words

  • I'm proud to live close to montreux! And happy that freddie loved this place..its a really beautiful song

  • A winter s Tale recorded:15.11.1991 in Montreux

  • Happy Christmas :)

  • Happy Christmas everyone xxx

  • Great singer and stunningly beautiful winter song!!

  • Sei la mia ispirazione Freddie! Grazie a te ho scoperto la bellezza della musica e sempre grazie a te ho scoperto quanto è bello comporre la propria, trasmettere in un testo e in una melodia le proprie sensazioni, le gioie e le piccole paure della vita! Non avrei il tuo talento nemmeno se rinascessi 1000 volte ma con la tua musica mi hai trasmesso il coraggio di provarci! grazie!!!

  • The perfect song for the first day of Winter, I have been requesting that my local radio stations play this. I know a lot of people not having such a happy holiday but if Freddie could sing about how wonderful this season is as sick as he was, the rest of us should be able to find that joy...he continues to inspire 20 years later and is greatly missed

  • Thanks sooo much.......<3<3<3

  • Freddie forever live in our hearts!

  • what a beautiful song.

  • every year i get older is another year added to how long ago freddie passed, least i was alive for a few months before his unfortunate passing...

  • R.I.P Freddie Mercury.

  • It has been 20 years since you passed, but we still miss you.

  • Freddie Love Of My Life!!!<3

  • grazie hai cambiato la mia vita!!!!

  • I don't think I will enjoy this Thanksgiving for real. I am lucky that I'll have dinner with my husband and my mom. I think they will understand what's going on with me. 20 years. Freddie. But I talk with you every day and can hear your voice every day. You are my angel who saves and helps me and all lonely people in this world.

    Somebody said, that "Winter's Tale" is Freddie's Swan Song. I can't belive it because he still here with us.

  • Just two weeks before Freddie death that was recorded.

  • What a super feeling - This song.

  • Ganz großes Queen-Kino.

    Ganz großer Freddie.

    Unschlagbares Album

  • 16 people need shot why search for winters tale then dislike it total idiots!!

  • In our lives, in our dreams and beyond our deaths, Freddie Mercury always on our minds!

  • my favourite singer and group!!!

    the best

  • Una cancion mas que sorprende y llega a lo mas hondo por la letra y la magnifica voz de uno de los grandes de la musica como es fredy mercury ojala el 21 de noviembre del 91 no hubiera llegado nunca. God save the Queen

  • gosto

  • I'm 21 and cry every time I herad this song, it's so beautiful ;(

  • I know that Queen has released a lot more popular singles, but this is my personal favorite. the music sounds so dreamy and magical, and Freddie's performance is stunning. This man was dying and he still gave us such talent. You're never gonna see a musician this great. Love this song. <3

  • Fabuloso y extraordinario.....

  • Comment removed

  • последняя песня, несмотря на грусть, есть нотки надежды... В принципи, надо мечтать, верить во что-то. Судя по информации Фредди мечтал провести рождество в квартире в Швейцарии, но не судьба... :-(

  • how can one with AIDS have such a utterly beautiful, crystal clear and awesome voice??? this is one of His last recordings... just...WOW. Just Freddie

  • @LiliaMarkova unbeliveabile great voice my hero and as u say he can harely walk love u freddie oooxxxx

  • @LiliaMarkova And, exactly why should AIDS affect his ability to sing? You DO understand what AIDS is?

  • @LiliaMarkova  r u stupid ??? whts aids to do with his voice?????????u knw whts aids right???

  • Freddy R.i.P

    we all miss you :(....

  • This song really brings back the magic of Christmas when I was a child of about 7. Though the song was much later. True recreation of Christmas as a child, I can't love it enough.

  • i really miss freddy,wish he was still here on earth to make more beautiful music like this with the rest of the band. Hard to believe he's been gone 6 months short of 20 years. RIP Freddy,gone but will NEVER be forgotten xxxxx

  • @kiefersbird sweet :) but I just cant help myself..its FreddIE

  • I'm so nostalgic...

  • Nice Video

  • Most Beautiful song I ever heard.

  • this is why i love xmas coz then these songs are on and they are classicly excellent :'( R.I.P Freddy Mercury, say hi to all the other legends :')

  • the best singer ever.

  • and brian's guitars are perfect. they really got each other

  • speechless...unbelievable. never heard singing like this, that paints vivid imagery with color, temperature, tranquil yet life bustling impressions in your mind...w/ "overkill" bombast too?! most musical theater have been doing it wrong! oh freddie we are still being blessed by you.

  • @edmame Freddie was close to the end when he wrote & sang this song.

    This is a quote from Brian May pertaining to this song: "One of the last songs he wrote, A Winter's Tale, was written purely sat looking out on the mountains from the other side of Lake Geneva. He could obviously hear it all in his head, although he didn't have any musical instruments with him. I remember him coming into the studio and saying: "I've got this idea . . . just give me a few minutes." Then he brought it to life."

  • Missing u..Freddie...always on mi mind...!

  • een van de hoogtepunten in historie

  • 1 word genious

  • Little DOVES ScreaM and CrY

  • And this was recorded by a man who could barely sit for a couple of hours a day, let alone stand, suffered from constant debilitating pain, and who would die of bronchopneumonia in just a short 5-6 weeks... Unbelievable!.... The incredible talent aside - name a contemporary artist who would be a man enough to do that, knowing all too well that the end is so near.... RIP Freddie, you're forever in our hearts!...

  • FreddY LIVES

  • @moeftie1 Yes! Freddy lives forever

  • Ce qui me stupéfait pour ne pas dire miraculeux, c'est que cette chanson enregistrée aux dernières instants de sa vie nous laisse malgré les traces de la maladie et de sa consommation de tabac, SA voix intacte... :O

  • I used to listen to his music, even in my mum's belly, she loved him. When he died I was big enough to understand he never comes back from where he's gonne. I cried for not having time to see him alive. I was just six, but I felt the way I feel today about his music. I want my children to know Queen, cause talents like these comes around one in our lifetimes. Freddie noone above You, Happy New Year in heaven...I see you there and we will rock!

  • @vevaygirl

    i was also six when he died and i also listened to him ever since i remember...

    Still listen to his voice everyday.

    He'll live forever in my memory.

    Love u Freddie!! x

  • I know this is Freddie's Swan Song! And I know nobody never ever can sing like this in this life! God bless you, Freddie! Merry Christmas! Love you so much, thank you for everything you are doing for me

  • all de made ikn heaven album makes me cry...:') i feel something in my heart...:') Happy Christmas everyone!

  • Comment removed

  • Merry Christmas everybody :) Love you forever Freddie.

  • the 15 people who dis like this video really are a bunch of haters i bet they listen to lil wanye are justin biever garbage today's music kids today don't have no respect on what is music like freddie says it we will rock you

  • There's such a love of beauty in this song... Something TRULY Freddie. His touch is everywhere in it, not just with his voice. Just so beautiful.

    We miss you, Freddie.

  • We can feel the death in this song... so powerful.

  • I love this song!It has a lot of meaning in it..I miss freddy! Awesome entertainer.There is never going to be another one like him with a voice like that.

  • Such a beautiful song and it's definitely my favourite Queen song, it's just such a shame that this was the last song ever recorded by Freddie before he passed away, from what I understand of it, Freddie recorded the vocals in parts when he was feeling well enough to sing during the last few months of his life.

    May you always R.I.P Freddie, you may be gone but you will never be forgotten whilst people get to hear you sing.

  • it's a shame, that i never had the chance to see Queen live... I mean... Queen without Freddie and John isn't the real Queen...

  • this song really makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand and brings tears to my eyes, one of the most powerfull songs ever.... R,I,P Freddie x

  • this song is so powerful

  • i just love this song.........

  • What 15 idiots accidentally pressed the dislike button?

  • @manumental86 YEAH own up!!

  • I was born in '91 and, god, if I had an opportunity to give Him all these years, I would do that. Damn, Freddie, you had a whole life ahead of you! You'd be so priceless alternative for this crappy "music" we all have to listen now.

    I'll never come to terms with his death.

  • Youtube should disable the dislike button for this song! :)

  • @Pacheco591 I think they should just eliminate the like/dislike button from this site. People bitch and moan about it too much. Pretty much every video has people complaining that someone(s) disliked it.

    I like this but I don't care who doesn't.

  • One of my favourite Xmas songs

  • [*]

  • 19 years

    

  • magic.

  • Bring back Fred, awsome! Miss your talent!

  • @killerwelshman Yes! Bring him back! We can send Lady GaGa instead.

  • Its so beautiful, so romantic, makes you want to grab your most loved 1 n have a snuggle in front of the fire :)

  • love for ever

  • its all so beautiful..........

  • Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara in the year of 1946 on the island of Zanzibar. Just to tell you where he was born was like a fantasy from a 1940’s Broadway Movie, “Zanzibar” It is very hard to put into words just how special Freddy was to all of his fans. There will never be another with such a stage presence to give of one’s self

    Freddy Mercury brought us a fantasy every time he walked onto that stage.

    Freddy will be with us forever.” Freddy” Thank You Sir David

  • @sixtiesforever1966 I have loved Freddie ever sinds i was a little girl! last year i went to Zanzibar,.. it was breathtaking! one day im gonna live there,................... greetings from Tirol Angie

  • @angienoahpeter Just the name Zanzibar brings memories of a mystical place and Freddy brings the same to us every time he walked onto a stage. I would have liked to been in Zanzibar to see your reaction of a place that brings thoughts and memories of a place that stands still in time like the 1941 movie with bob hope.

    We all miss freddy and with YouTube relive some of his concerts. Thank You.

  • Awesome emotions ! !

  • I like this song because it has a nostalgic feeling to it.

  • This was recorded supposedly 2 weeks before he died all considering his voice sounds fairly good

  • @Maguirearch that cannot be true, 2 weeks before his death he spent almost all the time lying in bed, i don't think he could sing anything at that time

  • this could be a great christmas song!!

    r.i.p Freddie

  • They played this yesterday on tv yeah almost made me cry.

  • best winter song ever.

  • a true masterpiece, long live freddie!

  • Comment removed

  • For me this must be in the TOP 5 of queen songs all time... SO UNDERRATED! its just AMAZING!!! when i think that freddie composed and sung it while he was terminally ill... brings me to tears...

  • why this wasnt on the any greatest hits is beyond me? :o

  • @prescott2811 it's in The Greatest Hits 3

  • @TheAussiewombat No itss not.. Thank god its Chrstmas is.. :)

    But not this one....

    This got to number 6 on the UK charts but its none of the Greatest hits

  • this song just shows how powerful freddie's voice was, imo he was the greatest singer of all time.

  • the last song freddie wrote

    i'm asking you guys:

    is he dreaming?

  • What a legend.. Not only Freddie but the rest of the band. Best song ever!!!!

  • What passion in Freddie's voice just weeks before he died.....his last visit to Montreaux, where he seemed so in tune with nature and his surroundings. He knew that these simple things are what makes life beautiful, and being yourself at all times.....Freddie, in our hearts forever! What a legend!

  • Happy Birthday Freddie!!!

  • February new's. 10end|Life.

  • Comment removed

  • os ultimos momentos na suica na calma e traquilidade das montanhas. onde tudo parecia magico , no fim. so resta a tristeza

  • Only one way to sum Freddie and Queen up along with this song and "its bliss!"

  • this song is killing me, i love it!!!! freddie's voice is the love of my life

  • This is an amazing song....

  • such an underrated song, no justice...

  • Das beste was es je gab und geben wird, ich werde für immer ein treuer Fan bleiben

  • Can someone clarify this for me- is this the last song Freddie Mercury ever sung, or the alst song he wrote entirely by himself. I was under the impression that Mother Love was the last song Freddie sung before his death.

  • @mariomkd8203 A Winter's Tale was the last song Freddie wrote.

    Mother Love was the last song Freddie sang.

    In A Winter's Tale, Freddie was very close to the end of his life.

    In Mother Love, Freddie passed away during the recording so Brian finished the song by singing the last verse. My understanding is that Brian emotionally could not sing the last verse until about a year later.

  • @Yo1969Yo.....That's why I enjoy reading these comments; I always learn some interesting tidbit that pieces his life together: my gorgeous Freddie: my obsession, my addiction, the love of my life!.

    Thank you, Yo!

    So typical of Freddie....such an optimistic, lovely song....even at his...I can't even say it w/out crying.....I love this man so, so, SO much!!! It just breaks my heart.... When will the tears ever stop?

  • @mariomkd8203 Yes, as others said, Mother Love is the last VOCAL recording that Freddie made.  He did not finish recording that song because he got too sick - that is why Brian sings the last few verses on the final record. A Winter's Tale is the last musical composition that Freddie wrote by himself. I think he shared writing credit with Brian on Mother Love.

  • @Cathie8791 not because he became too sick, because he died

  • beatiful songs and all!!!

  • miss u

  • fantastic.well missed

  • Freddie, I love You...

    Thank You!

  • Is a so fantastic, so brillant

    Rest In Peace Freddie

  • @Queenfan99 if not genius

  • cosa potrei commentare? non mi permetterei mai.

  • fantastic song.... this song was last freddie's song... last recordeed.. (perhaps, i read it somewhere =)) but he has another voice then in other song... i think it was last. :)

  • @ Fueegen

    It was indeed Freddie's last song he contributed to music before he died.  He made it two weeks prior to his death.

    He wrote it when he stayed at his flat in Sweden,Montreal,having done several albums there previously. Since coming there for many years, he came to realise how important the tranquil and peace he can gain from this place when he was being hounded by the press.

  • Actually, you're wrong. The last song that Freddie last recorded was "Mother Love". In fact, he was in such a pain that he wasn't able to finish the song. Brian May finished. Check it :) The last video was "These Are the Days ouf Our Lives".

  • This song is beautiful and, with "we are the chanpions", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "in the lap of Gods" and others songs, show to all over the world that Freddie is the most important composer from Rock

  • Nº 1

  • i still love you freddie.....

  • it's fantastic..Freddie is a genius <3

  • God Bless Freddie- RIP!

  • only 1 showman ever walk this earth ,, Freddy  Mercury R.I.P mate
