Marc Martel - Who Wants To Live Forever (Queen Cover)

"Who Wants To Live Forever"
Written by Brian May
Originally recorded by Queen on the album A Kind Of Magic

Like many of you, I discovered “Who Wants To Live Forever” in the movie Highlander, long before I ever knew of the band Queen. It was likely even before “Bohemian Rhapsody” hit my radar in Wayne’s World. (I can’t be sure, though, as I don't recall how old I was when I saw Highlander.) Safe to say this is one of the first Queen songs I ever heard. It is also one of my favorites... and it is an absolute beast to sing! I’ve had the great pleasure of performing it with various symphonies, including The Boston Pops, and I get chills every time. Freddie was at his best here, and Brian’s songwriting, every bit as spectacular; magical, even. Hope you enjoy this, as I did my best here to do justice not only to the song itself, but also to the incredible arrangement by Michael Kamen.

Marc Martel: makes new Queen cover
"Vocal coaches": it's free real estate.

[alyssaisbrainrotting]

Marc: there's no time-

Me: *starts to cry*

[gsbarth]

That look at the end...

“Yeah... I killed it”

[loveinspired]

This is just....mind-boggling INSANITY.
It's like he's possessed by Freddie Meecury!

[julioarribasplata]

Please please Marc, sing "these are the days of our lives"

Marc, it's not about that "you have a gift", YOU ARE THE GIFT for millions of Queen's fans all over the world. Please, keep the show on...

[SirGamer]

Boy... Freddie wasn't kidding when he said the show must go on.

[gaudencio]

“love me like there’s no tomorrow” is a must

[danielserranoavedillo]

The show must go on is necessary

I have only just seen marc omg GeorgeMichael, Freddie fab I'm lost for words the feeling he puts into these songs as they did the best I've seen

[ThorHammer]

Most underrated artist of all time. Marc Martel.

[cramletram]

Here’s my guess: VHO = Vocalizing Harmonic Overtones. Or maaaaybe it’s “IMVHO, ” not “I am VHO.” 🤔🤔🤔

[jclonga]

Marc Martel: I paid for the whole piano, I’m gonna use the whole piano

[CajunAdrienne]

Marc has an angelic voice ...like out of this world! Heavenly!

[DezequielX]

Freddie sent Marc so people born after 1991 can enjoy such a wonderful voice

[Lehctim]

I’ve seen Marc Martel in concert twice and will go to any of his concerts that are near me. He is absolutely amazing

[gaminglegend]

Usually, Marc sings in the style of 70s Freddie, but here, he's actually singing kinda in the style of 80s Freddie! Great work!

I can’t stop crying. I’m on a car park waiting for the love of my life to finish work 2 days before Xmas day. This song digs deep into my soul and makes me feel how lucky I am to have her by my side. Freddie would be so proud Marc. Bless you and merry Xmas 2023.
