  • 1.42 of perfection..

  • I would never tell Freddie "no". About ANYTHING.

  • I wrote a story nammed ``The lily of the valley`` for Freddie :)

  • I just made a very similar video for the 20th anniversary of his passing :( .. this vid was awesome though :) *liked*

  • The two people who disliked this song must be dead inside.

  • @Politicalchick99 or they're Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black LOL

  • Queen is the BEST!!!! no one will ever come close to them.....no matter how hard they try theres nothing like them ever!! RIP FREDDIE you were the most talented musican ever. your voice was amazing!! luv you wish you were still here making beautiful music.

  • And cast me from your spell and let me go

    Beautiful song, but Freddie talk about Jesus with sadness and without hope that Jesus stay and see everything happening.

  • Who is the one D**khead who disliked?? *Angry, thretening look*

    Just respect tis masterpiece!!!!!!

  • Simply beautiful.xx

  • this song got me curious about Freddie's spirituality, because in christianity, the Lily of the Valley alludes to Jesus Christ.

  • One person is Brock. 

  • @NattyDoctor Who's Brock?

  • epic song is epic, and epic season finale is epic

  • Even freddie realize this song is pure diamond so he doesnt have to make it longer .. just enough for us to catch the glimpse of heaven and then goes to eternity

  • THUMBS UP IF BREAKING BAD SEASON 4 FINALE BROUGHT YOU HERE!!! give them a few minutes the episode just ended a few minutes ago

  • @roeroe305 What did they play this song on a tv show?? That's awesome! This song is so underrated, so it's cool that someone had the good taste to put it on tv :D

  • @Politicalchick99 naw they didnt play the song but they used the plant called lily of the valley in the show

  • One of Queen's most beautiful works, and- the sound quality of this post is

    excellent!

  • Linda esta música.

  • QUANTO è BELLO??? *-* ♥

  • This is the equivalent of Nevermore on Sheer Heart Attack and an equally masterful piece of music.

  • The one dislike is a little bicth from the Valley;-)

  • le plus grand chanteur de tout les temps

    

  • thats a gay vest but who cares. This is the best song, like ever.

  • Happy birthday my hero...

  • ohh this brings back so many memories of my school years, snogs with girls in shop doorways in Salford, Bazooka Joe bubblys, and if you had a £1 note in your pocket you were the rich kid.

  • Does anybody knows meaning of this song?

  • @N92Milan well, there are rumours that this song is about Freddie's sexuality, at least Brian believes so.

  • @TheJumpyPopcorn How do you know it? I"d read that Rhye, kings on throns, fearytale kingdoms came from Freddie"s childhood - he was told a lot of it when he was a boy. I think it's just a beautifull world, promissed land that ppl can't reach now a days! "Wars will never seased, there is no time enough for piece" - you think it's about his sexuality? LOL, but Bri is far form fool!

  • @marinazi1 I didn't say I knew it. You have your opinion, I have mine. I just said Brian thought this was Freddie talkin about his fight with his sexuality, his words. Why do you even take Freddie's lyrics for granted? He's not the kind of songwriter who transforms his life into song lyrics, he's private. And also do not call Brian a fool because that he is not and besides he knew Freddie, you did not, so, it's much more likely for him to be right than for you to be right.

  • @TheJumpyPopcorn If you'd read my question more attentively you'd find that I've asked"HOW do you know it?" that means"What source did you get it from?"Of course everybody can interpret lyrics in his own's way but everything always has"roots",and kids impressions often make a great influence on a person. Freddie was an artist-the most sensitive kind of ppl, he could tell good from bad distinctively!

  • @marinazi1 I can't remember where I heard Brian saying that, in some video, perhaps in a documentary. Like I said, different interpretations... and no, I don't think Freddie was the kind of person who could tell good from bad distinctively (I don't even know why you brought this up) Good that you weren't calling Brian a fool...that wouldn't be nice.

  • @TheJumpyPopcorn It's always this way ("I can't remember where I've heard...") when ppl say about Freddie's beeng a gay! Isn't it strange - what do you think? He obviously could tell good from bad - so intelligent, well-educated man, very well brought up in true religion. Everyone who'd worked with him noticed it (except those who envyed his talent& success) It's not good of you not to notice it - that wouldn't be nice.(LOL)

  • @marinazi1 Get this in your head as you seem in denial to me, Freddie was gay. You know shit about Freddie. I told you Brian said it, I don't make up stories. Unfortunately, Freddie was the kind of person "too good" and he had "hanger ons", people who were interested in him just because of his money, too bad he couldn't see it. I didn't say he wasn't intelligent, which he was, I'm his biggest fan. And please, spare me from your terrible irony, it makes you look like an idiot.

  • @TheJumpyPopcorn A little bit easyer, man! Shun't insulting me - if you are a fool, it's not my guilt! You've just demonstrated your narrow-mindness & no1 can help it. Let's stop arqueing - you ain't able to listern to & to comprehend to anything that didn't agree with your opinion DO have it - I knew about west ppl narrowness - but SUCH way! "Let them eat cakes"! Sorry for spending my time...Bye!

  • @marinazi1 That's just what I wanted to hear! THANKS!

  • @TheJumpyPopcorn BTW I also didn't call Mr.May a fool, I said "He is FAR FROM beeng a fool! Be vore attentive, pls!

  • this song is way to short!

  • Comment removed

  • @TheZmeisterr This goes beyond music. Rock on.

  • Oh well. Someone had to burst the bubble I guess. Its good to know it was only a mistake of course too. :-)

  • if someone dislikes this, what the f.k are you doing here loser

  • LOVE IT. period

  • Freddie's criminally under-rated Holy Piano Trilogy:

    1. Nevermore

    2. Lily of the Valley

    3. My Melancholy Blues

  • @TheRegulator81 Those have got to be my three favorite hidden gems. When I heard them I knew just what I had been missing before only listening to Queen's well-known songs.

  • @TheRegulator81 Not by me. They are three of my favourite Queen songs. Good on Fred.

  • @Gordomusic1

    Oops I wanted to give your comment thumbs up but I gave it thumbs down :O

    FORGIVE ME O LORD FREDDIE

    I have said that Nevermore, Lily of the Valley and My Melancholy Blues are not very good songs! I am sorry! Forgive me!

    Hahahaha xD

  • @Ninimini999 Nevermore is a work of art

  • @fuwmg I know :D

  • @TheRegulator81 You forgot "You Take My Breath Away" - sublime.

  • @TheRegulator81 Hey, what about 'You take my breath away'? I think piano is amazing there.

  • Beautiful!

    

  • Freddie Mercury.Brian May..Roget Taylor.John Deacon..you lived up to your name...Queen. Freddie chose this name in part cause it was regal..powerful..something absolute..this is Queen.4 men each a musical genius..masters of their craft. I consider myself fortunate.to have seen them live 3 times..they were amazing.from the first cord...to the first note of Freddie's...clear. perfect voice..you were taken on a musical journey.Their music will live on..Freddie.was a gem may he RIP

  • @helga284 You were extremely  blessed to have seen them live!!

  • @helga284 I follow every course, my kingdom for a horse, let me go...

  • @28october19731 messenger from seven seas has flown to tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne..

  • Come back to us, Freddie...

  • 0:37  - Jealousy

  • @DOMESTOS229 why?

  • 1 people never see a ``lily of the valley``

    (sorry for my english!!!)

  • Why oh why did they never play some of their soft early pearls live?... Just like Nevermore, this song touches me a lot, and should have been given more attention.

  • lo maximo!!! short and sweet!!

  • Beautiful

  • One of my favorites, if not my favorite Mercury songs.

  • One of my favorites, if not my favorite Mercury songs.

  • One of my favorites, if not my favorite Mercury songs.

  • Yes, the hits are great. But us true Queen fan's know where the Gem's are ....their lesser known songs : D

  • @ReneeNme It's sad but true. Almost every good song isn't very liked by many. I think about sinead o'connor or jeff buckley or yes, queen, r.e.m.. The jewels are always hidden. And the good listener dig deep before find them ;D

  • My kingdom for a horse.

  • Magic! I"m imressed by HIM & His song! A masterpiece, really!!!

  • I love Freddie's rock "growl" but these tender moments are just so special! His vocal abilities were amazing...

  • Los Ojos Mas Bellos Del Mundo <3

  • AWESOME!

  • THE SONG IS WAY TO SHORT!!!!!!!! OH MY GOSH.

  • NO DISLIKES???? People are getting ears today?

  • @BedInTheGraveyard Well, let's say they start using them ;)

  • @BedInTheGraveyard loved your comment...

  • @BedInTheGraveyard 1 person is Nelson saying "ha ha"

  • @MrMrEFE Obvious troll is obvious...But still,it's awesome :p

  • @BedInTheGraveyard Some idiot "disliked" to spite you!

  • Make sure to check out Dream Theater's version of Tenement Funster / Flick ... and Lily!

  • Que gran delicadeza y elegancia que hacia con la música!!!

  • Freddie rides delicately on the wings of the beautiful music of The Lily of the Valley. He is the celestial being who has become part of this Mystical song that explodes into our souls and sends us spinning and yearning for more. I just can't get enough of him! We adore you Darling Freddie!

  • @MsSweetunes......So beautifully said!

    Gorgeous! Just like our dear Freddie!!

  • EVERY TIME I HEAR TO THIS SONG I WANT TO DRAW WHAT HE IS DESCRIBING IN THE LYRICS ^^

  • very good.this is fantastic .

  • Not only do I ever so love this song but I truly love this upload my friend. These pictures are so amazing. They capture the essence of Freddie and the amazing front man that he was. And his voice is just pure beauty that just peirces your heart. Queen was truly a phenomenal band. A One of a Kind band that once you heard them, you were forever hooked!! When I see these photos, the tears just flow. I miss him. R.I.P. Freddie ♥♥ Forever missed and Forever loved. ♥

  • @awesomeeras131 Thanks that means a lot! They're some of my most favorite pictures of him <3

  • Not sure whether it's a good or bad thing making a movie about Freddie, and especially about the later years as he was dying. Some things should remain private, and movies can cloud a viewer's perception of someone who can no longer defend themself. Rest in peace Fred

  • @daveandodrummer Couldn't have said it better my friend. I agree with what you are saying 100%!! Let him rest in peace.

  • god i love him... i was like 7 when i saw the video for bohemian rhapsody and i thought they were greek gods, lol. and i grew up with their music, and their songs were like lullabies to me!

  • This is poetry I have that album (SHA) in CD, cassette and vinyl... relieve me for a while and cast me from your spell...let me go!!! =OMFG this is for you andrealopezv

  • I think this song should've been longer.

  • F cking PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is excellent, but...I feel like Dream Theater does this better :|

  • So beautifull and pure!

    Queen for ever!!!

  • OMyGosh! Sasha Baron Cohen is playing Freddie in a movie about him!!!!! Finally someone's making a movie!!!!!

  • @Politicalchick99 Sasha

    Baron Cohen? PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME VOMIT. I don't want to throw up.

  • @desertra1 I know :( but he kinda does look like him more than other actors i guess.... but they're FINALLY making a movie!!!!

  • @Politicalchick99 Sasha Baron Cohen would be perfect. Just because he does really weird things doesnt mean he is a bad actor.

  • @stintzi i agree

    

  • @desertra1 I would be so dissappointed if Baron Cohen is playing Freddie - it

    would destroy the movie really.

  • @desertra1 Baron Cohen isn't that bad in Sweeney Todd. He has some talent. Its not like they'll be putting him in those awful Bruno outfits..

  • @Politicalchick99 yes! i did hear that! i hope it good!!! i want it to be...

  • I'm so excited :D My friend, the pianist of Great White (their most famous song is Once Bitten Twice Shy, you might've heard before) has the original, individual recording tracks of the Sheer Heart Attack Album! He's going to let me listen to it with him and he said the voice track is beautiful because you can really hear how amazing Freddie's voice was!

  • @Politicalchick99 Wow, THE Great White? I love their reindition of "Somebody to Love" by Jefferson Airplanes

  • BRILLIANT

  • Tell me that you don't try to sing this in the shower... and I would call you a LIAR. Another great Queen song.

  • Tis song is my nickname :D

  • Dream Theater covered this song, and it sounded epic just like this! :D

  • Best song, makes me cry... well no, but still, best song ever. Wish Freddie was still here, I would have done ANYTHING to meet him, but I don't care, cause I know I'll get to see him, I'm sure as hell...

  • greatest voice in history!

  • Ok so which picture is sexiest?? It's hard to say but after long, serious thought I'm torn between 0:06 and 1:29

  • @Politicalchick99 I love both :D

  • Best voice ever

  • What a fantastic piece of music.

    world classe!

  • Freddie voice is too good for words

  • just perfect, supernatural composing

  • This is really more than music.

    Thank you so much queen.

  • As a person with an MA in literature I can say that the lyrics of this song is a true masterpiece! So is the music! Freddie was a mega-talent! <3

  • I was only 11 when my older brother played me this and it blew my mind, such beautiful lyrics, such imagination and so fantastic to sing in the car!

  • Beautiful!!! From the album "Sheer Heart Attack"

  • top tune!

  • for you Vince

  • FREDDIE MERCURY LIVES ON!!

    LONG LIVE QUEEN!!

    FREDDY-YOU HAD SO MUCH TALENT AND POTENTIAL.

    GOD TOOK YOU WAY TOOOOO SOON!!!

    WE LOVE ALL OF YOU GUYS!!!!

  • this song has been stuck in my head for months. i love it :) it feels so nice to hear Freddie's voice in my head. its like he is telling my something special.

  • Why does everybody tell me no...

  • this song gives me goose bumps. so beautiful.

  • Non smetterò mai di amarti Freddie!

    Grazie per la tua voce, grazie per la tua musica, grazie per le emozioni...

    I STILL LOVE YOU!

  • Non smetterò mai di amarti Freddie!

    Grazie per la tua voce, grazie per la tua musica, grazie per le emozioni...

    I STILL LOVE YOU!

  • fantastic anything Queen did was awesome .We are lost without Queen

  • Just a beautiful song, from a beautiful man that had a beautiful voice. Freddie Mercury......my only addiction!

  • Comment removed

  • the hairs on the back of the neck stick up! Freddie Mercury was the greatest musician ever!

  • one of the most underrated songs out there

  • @flap84 Maybe that is significant somehow - lol, now I'm contradicting myself: "true fans will know"! But maybe it's not a song to do with the whole "Queen Craze", and remains more private, delicate, humble, etc. It speaks to many, but through this personal channel. Freddie could manoeuver between these states amazingly, so you get this intimate moment when it's like he's telling you something personally. Then he's off to his duty, where stuff like Rating weighs more.

  • I sooooo wish I could have met him! He is by far the best singer, song-writer, performer, pianist of the last century and ever!

  • @Politicalchick99 20th Century Motzart and I saw him close up in Manchester 1986 and saw on his face he knew it !

  • @Politicalchick99 Of ever :)

    God of Rock! :D

  • @Politicalchick99 When i'm 16 me and my friends are going to London are going to his house :D

  • @FreddieGabby97 Omygosh no way! You're sooo lucky :D I definitley will go if and when I can ever afford to go to Europe!

  • @Politicalchick99 Yeah I knoww : ) I'm soo excited :P

  • @Politicalchick99 - Hi I met him when I was 9 years old in Glasgow - they were supporting Mott the Hoople - you know Freddie chased me away saying "he was in a hurry" but I never held it against him as Brian, Roger and John were lovely and took so much time to talk and sign autographs - lovely x

  • @TheRangers123 That's amazing!

  • @Politicalchick99 Sings like an angel.

  • ANOTHER MASTERPIECE FROM ONE OF THE GODS OF MUSIC (LEADERING ONE OF THE BEST ROCK BANDS EVER)

    RESPECT AND LOVE FOR EVER F.M/QUEEN

    "To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne

    Wars will never cease

    Is there time enough for peace?"

  • any true queen fans here?? will know this songs significance..

  • isn't that flower a symbol of Mercury,the greek god?

  • @totognao Mercury was the Roman version of Hermes, the Greek Messenger of the Gods, psychopomp (takes souls via the River) and patron of travellers, merchants, thieves and trespassers (has to do with crossing boundaries). The lily of the valley is placed under the dominion of Mercury, astrologically. The flower represents Mary's tears when Jesus was crucified, and the hope for the Second Coming. It's also called "Ladder to Heaven".

  • @soloremedee Rhye was Freddie's childhood wonderland of sorts--the place he thought up with his sister. The lily of the valley is someone he loved very much

  • @WhoaThereMama That's true. I've been searching for more info about this "wonderland", do you know any more? Sometimes it makes me sad Freddie was so secretive about everything, because nowadays people can understand and accept more than they did in those days (rather dark, the 20th century!). But all the knowledge I have of this wonder-world is through mythical resonances (Jung's collective theory). I'd be curious to know more about individual perception, how it began, etc...

  • @soloremedee Ya... Umm, you know, Freddie was not an elitist, and said so on a number of occasions. He didn't aim to create initiated elites, "true fans know the meaning!" but to connect to everyone. Every person knows ONE version of the meaning, even "true fans". To truly know the meaning you have to accept truth transcends imagined divisions between groups/classes, and this truth can be revealed to any one person at any time - or on the contrary, it can be obscured from you.

  • this is one of the best songs

  • cool vid

  • "Pure consistant genius, which is and was freddy mercury"

  • I love the picture in 0:52

  • i love how he sings LET ME GOOOOO!!! dunno i just love that part lol

  • REmember playing this in 1974 after breaking up with my first serious girlfriiend Along with so dear friend it seemed an apt song to soothe those deep heartfelt teenage emotions when you think you will never fall in love again Thirty five years a wife and two kids later i still thank the genius of Freddie Mercury for getting me through my first low ebb Rest in Peace Freddie and Debbie Reid Wonder what your doing now!
  • @gahctep that was lovely :)

  • @Classicmozayfull

    Thanks for that Classic

    Regards.

    Gahctep

  • i can't express myself the way i want,cos words are not enough..... Freddie is a gift from the Universe and I love him deeply for everything he was and still is. This song is a precious jewel, just like Nevermore....short,but very intense songs.

  • haiosc......Well said! There are no words to describe the precious gift that is Freddie! He is awesome beyond belief!

    Freddie is the voice of God!

    FREDDIE FOREVER!!! THE BEST!!!

  • AWESOME pix for an awesome artist!! THANKS for posting!!!

  • Freddie's voice is soooo perfect. It's like eargasmic or something :)

  • @423likeajewel LOL! "Eargasmic" that is a very cool word! Hehe. I'm glad he thought the very same about his public, energetically-speaking... that it was all better than.. Arr, some would describe this as evil, but if you think about it, everyone talks about "raising vibration" nowadays, and how that works. I consider it a gift.

  • hearing freddie mercury say my name is the best, it makes me smile every time

    i love you freddie

    gone but never forgotten.

  • @lily0313

    your name is lily? damn thats cute lol

  • @lily0313

    If you really are Lily of the valley I soooOOO want to meet you, especially if you are as beautiful a creature as this song is! :-)

  • Every time I listen to this masterpiece, I get goosebumps at 01:10 - 01:11. No other song has succeeded in doing that to me.

  • oh my god, your right

  • @RudolfMaister Exactly! Me too! So cool to experience that! It conveys precisely the type of "boundary crossing" to another dimension, which this legend is based on - and that involves a dissolution of Ego.

  • Ésta es una de las canciones de Queen que más me gustan!. Es excelente!, tiene un "no sé qué" que me gusta demasiado.

  • is the time enough for peace... i love you freddie

  • This truly is one of their best. It's such an overlooked song, and I just can't figure out why. The whole "Sheer Heart Attack" album is just incredible. The stretch of "Tenement Funster", "Flick of the Wrist", and then "Lily of the Valley" is Queen at their very best!
