Queen - Thank God It's Christmas (Official Lyric Video)

Queen icons Brian May and Roger Taylor today, Sunday December 15, posted their personal Christmas messages to worldwide fans with the gift of a new specially created animation film for the band’s ‘Thank God It’s Christmas’ track originally released in November 1984.

Brian and Roger’s Christmas messages can be seen at:

‘Thank God It’s Christmas’ was a rare song writing collaboration between Roger and Brian. The song spent six weeks in the UK charts over the Christmas/New Year period 1984/1985. It enjoyed a second lease of life Christmas 1995 coupled with the hit single ‘A Winter’s Tale’ from the Made In Heaven album. Here the track receives a fully animated treatment.

The concept for this new animated film came directly from Brian and Roger who explain their thoughts behind it with Roger saying: “Ironically, Christmas tends to be such a stressful time for so many of us. So many emotions, joyful memories of past Christmas’ as delighted children and responsible adults / parents. It's just a great relief when it finally happens.”

Brian adds: “The video goes a little further by including a subtle reminder that we as humans now need to feel a responsibility for the welfare of ALL creatures on Earth - not just for our own benefit, and that of our grandchildren, but out of respect for the rights of the animals themselves.”

Working with Brian and Roger, the film was directed & animated on their behalf by Justin Moon and executive produced by Drew Gleason for production company °1824.

I listened to this song first thing Christmas day and when Freddie says, "Its been a long hard year, but it's Christmas." I almost started crying because I can relate to that sentence a lot this year. I know people have been through a lot and Queen is my only escape from this pandemic.❤

The legend singing in a legendary date

[danielmarinucci]

I've got a feeling come Christmas 2020 this song will have more meaning.
Lyrics to the song:"it's been a long hard year"
'but now it's Christmas.
We may be singing those lyrics in December.

Sadly he’s not with us anymore....

Merry Christmas to him...
Even if he’s not here to celebrate...
At least his music lives on... and on... for eternity..

"We live in troubled days"

Yes, Freddie, we do now...

[cata-wxjx]

Freddie Mercury sang, the world hoped
Freddie Mercury Laughed, the world laughed
Freddie Mercury died, the world cried. But we sang, laughed, because we knew that's what he would've want
Freddie Mercury was Freddie Mercury and will always be
We are all Freddie Mercury when we cry, sing and laugh.
Rest in peace..Freddie Mercury




Merry Christmas! Have a great day and may all your days be great.

I was a teenager in the 70s and grew up with Queen's music through the years, even my mother was a big fan till she died. Freddie you weren't one of the best you were THE BEST, i am 62 now still a fan as my son is too now. R.I.P. Freddie gone but certainly not forgotten.

[mercuryangel]

Brian May and Roger Taylor wrote this song but somehow Freddie's voice owns it! He makes the words so meaningful and the emotions in his tone is what makes him so amazing. He makes us feel the words just as the amazing writers wanted us to feel it. You will forever be missed, Freddie!!

[cosmicstargazer]

Couldn't have said it better myself, Freddie. Dear darling Freddie, you are missed. Top Song.

[trinar.s.]

A christmas song that hasn't been murdered by overplaying and sounds wonderful

It's a christmas miracle

[franciswilson]

Yes, "Thank God It's Christmas".
And I Thank You so much Queen, for giving us fans this beautiful gift. You "did'nt" forget about us, and we'll "never" forget about you. Merry Christmas to all of the "Queen Family", Merry Christmas to the legends, ( and rest in peace sweet Freddie, job well done )
