Written by Brian May, he wanted to wrote a folk song about the future (folk songs are generally about the past). Brian has a PhD in Astrophysics and has a huge interest in space. He does some work for NASA still, even at 75 years old. Einstein has a theory called Time Dilation Theory in which if you travel at a certain speed time will actually stand still. So when the volunteers in this song finally made it back to earth after what they believed was one year, earth had aged 100 years and all their loved ones had passed on. The space travelers had long lost contact with earth so of course they were presumed to be dead. The main character in the song finds his granddaughter and in her eyes he sees the eyes of his own daughter. Brian is a great writer of ballads and this is one of my favorites of his.
This song is about a group of space explorers who take part in a year's voyage . When they return they realise that a hundred years have passed , because of the time dilation effect . Nearly all their loved ones they left behind are now dead . Brian has a great voice ! . You will have to react to one of Roger singing as well . I'm still loving the texts on screen , with your thoughts and info of the song . Thanks for a great reaction to this 👏
This is my favorite Queen song. I first heard it when I was 14 years old in 1975. It inspired me to learn to play the guitar. I didn't learn to play the guitar until age 19 but I achieved my ultimate goal of being able to play '39 a year later.
‘39’ is one of my dad’s favorite Queen songs! And leave it to a genius to write a song about space time travel. 🚀 I love it! 🌠🌟💫⭐️💫✨. 🗣 Hey Bri .. still waiting for that Time Machine ⌛️
Wow I haven't heard this in a long time. Another great reaction. I still believe they are one of the most versatile groups ever. Please don't kill me for asking about somebody to love original version again but if you haven't seen it yet I think you'll love reacting to it.
Only Queen guitarist, Brian (aka in real-life, Dr. Brian May, Ph.D. in Astrophysics) would write a folk song about space travel. The song is the 39th album track released by the band when counting each album track from the debut album onwards. The song relates the tale of a group of space explorers who embark on what is, from their perspective, a year-long voyage. Upon their return, however, they realize that a hundred years have passed, because of the time dilation effect in Einstein's special theory of relativity, and the loved ones they left behind are now all dead or aged. Brian sings the lead vocals on the studio recording of the song, but Freddie would sing the lead when they performed it live.- th-cam.com/video/hoRTEJgFqNc/w-d-xo.html FYI - Brian had asked bassist John Deacon to play double bass for this song as a joke but a couple of days later he found Deacy in the studio with the large instrument, and he had already learned to play it.
I didn't know that about John learning the double bass . That's hilarious that it was supposed to be a joke , but how nice it must have been for John to learn the double bass for Brian 🙂
Hi, I subscribed to your channel tonight because I enjoyed so much the Journey you went on to discover Queen. It’s going to be fun to watch you discover other great artist to. There’s one Queen song that a lot of people don’t respond to. It was released three years ago by Dave Clark. It was a song that he had Freddie record for him that was going to be in a show he was putting together back in the 80s. The show never happened so the song kind of got lost. Dave went back stripped away the orchestra, the rest of the band and re-mastered the song with only Freddie‘s voice and the original piano player. I don’t know how to send the link but you can type in, Freddie Mercury, Time waits for no one. It’s one of the most amazing songs I’ve ever heard him do and it’s like he came back in time so we could hear it today. It’s a song we all desperately need to hear. It left me with tears, chills and sadness. It was such a shame to lose him so early please check it out. I know you won’t be sorry. Thank😮 you, Steve
Hey Honey, I LOVE this song… I’m GLAD you reacted to the version with Brian singing! (Leave it to astrophysicist Dr. Brian May to write a song about time travel!!)
this song is about the war, as. referring to the land that our grandchildren knew is referring back to the modern generation of English people. I can relate to this song lots as my family fought in that of ww1 and 2
There is so much good Queen music it's difficult to choose what to listen to next. I happen to enjoy a good love song with a sax solo and Queen happens to have exactly one. It's called "One Year of Love" and it's written by John Deacon. A beautiful song and Freddie sings the hell out of it.
I agree. That was "Bohemian Rhapsody" before it came out. But she must find the version with "Funny How Love Is" on the end. That's how it plays out on the record. Kinda miss something without it.
39 is about Space Travelers who left earth and not realizing that they have been away from earth for 100 Years. It's also their 39th song and the Sun is 0.39 from Mercury, Get it
@@bluetrailerproductions7488 interesting about the title. I always took at as a misdirect to make people think it was about the past rather than the future (2039?)
As you listen too more of the songs and you've still got more than 200+ as they've just released a new version of The Miracle Album which has around 47 tracks on, although some are different versions of the same songs they were putting together, I've pinged you some background on how they get the sounds they're known for
Yes it's agreat one written by brian I've loved that since it was a hit in 75' 2 versions :by brian and by freddie which for me better couse freddie's vocals are stronger but brian is huge too I love his voice too but freddie is freddie love it and liked the video thanks❤🧡💛
While I adore Freddie, I prefer Brian’s voice in ‘39 - the song’s words and style fit his warm gentle tones better. But I understand that the sheer power of Freddie’s voice was preferred in live performances because it projected more clearly - an important distinction as their audiences got bigger and bigger.
Live is better. Freddie sings it live. They all come up to the front of the stage to perform it. Brian sings this one. Chorus is all of them. Roger does the highest notes.
Hey, why don't you react to 'Heaven for Everyone' by Queen. It's a beautiful song. Would be nice to listen to it in these troubled times. Thank you for your reactions ;)
Love your reaction videos, especially Queen as I've been a fan for many years. I see your genuine emotions and it does tug at the heart strings. You should do No one but you (only the good die young by Brian, Roger and John after Freddies death, a warning though, you'll need the tissues..

@@paulr6881 I have been listening to this song for two years and never knew this.. you just made this song 10x better
@@InfiniteWrld There's hints of what the song is about in the lyrics , but i would never know just by listening to the song alone.
When you’ve listened to Queen long enough you can tell which songs were written by each member. They all had such different styles
YUP!
Brian may sang this. Love your growing love for Queen. Loyal fans are called Queenie ❤👑

Brian sings this in studio (with support from Roger & Freddie), while Freddie sang it on stage (with support from BRIAN & Roger)
Hi Mia You would love this LIVE ✌🏼 Even Roger on stage up front with the guys away from his drums 😊
Hey Honey,
I LOVE this song…
I’m GLAD you reacted to the version with Brian singing!
(Leave it to astrophysicist Dr. Brian May to write a song about time travel!!)
Interesting that this style of writing reminds me of The Clancy Brothers, really old school folk music. Loved this, thank you Mia. 😇🌹🕊️😁
this song is about the war, as. referring to the land that our grandchildren knew is referring back to the modern generation of English people. I can relate to this song lots as my family fought in that of ww1 and 2
Hermosa canción y voz de Brian, hermosos los 4👑🌠
I love this song
Thank you for playing this amazing song.

I happen to enjoy a good love song with a sax solo and Queen happens to have exactly one.
It's called "One Year of Love" and it's written by John Deacon. A beautiful song and Freddie sings the hell out of it.
Please react to " The March of the Black Queen" it is blowing your mind 😉👌🏽🎼🎵
I agree. That was "Bohemian Rhapsody" before it came out.
But she must find the version with "Funny How Love Is" on the end. That's how it plays out on the record. Kinda miss something without it.
I love this song. The live version sung by Freddie in interesting too 😉
Yes Freddie, Brian, Roger & John are so handsome ❤
Queen were HOTTIES and CUTIE PATOOTIES
39 is about Space Travelers who left earth and not realizing that they have been away from earth for 100 Years.
It's also their 39th song and the Sun is 0.39 from Mercury, Get it
@@bluetrailerproductions7488 interesting about the title. I always took at as a misdirect to make people think it was about the past rather than the future (2039?)
Try Brian’s “Too Much Love Will Ya”.. or “All Dead” (about his boyhood cat that he loved) both are absolutely beautiful!
As you listen too more of the songs and you've still got more than 200+ as they've just released a new version of The Miracle Album which has around 47 tracks on, although some are different versions of the same songs they were putting together, I've pinged you some background on how they get the sounds they're known for
If you want to hear one of my favourite Queen songs with Roger Taylor on vocals I suggest "Drowse"
Brian May has written pretty solid tracks for QUEEN!! Well... Who didn't do that?????? Freddie did that, John did it, and Roger did that!
I think you should listen to some of the studio version of the live versions you reacted to .. you'll definitely hear how different they perform
love you to listen to MILLIONAIRE WALTZ anther one of my Queen favs you will love it xx
Easily in my top 5 Queen songs 💜
Yes it's agreat one written by brian I've loved that since it was a hit in 75' 2 versions :by brian and by freddie which for me better couse freddie's vocals are stronger but brian is huge too I love his voice too but freddie is freddie love it and liked the video thanks❤🧡💛
