Well, mostly it proves that Brian May is an astrophysicist. :-) (Relativity-caused time dilation was well known and even proven experimentally by 1975; anyone in May's "avocation" would be well aware of it. I was 10 when this song came out, and even then I understood exactly what it was about. Of course, I was and still am a voracious SciFi reader...)
Brian is so underrated. His songs are something else of his own. We know Roger's songs, Freddie's songs, and John's pretty well. There's something about Brian's songs that stand out. They're different. They're probably the most intelligent of all Queen songs.
Brian's songs tell stories. If you really think about it, in some way, all the members of Queen have written songs that tell stories in some way. But Brian's way of telling a story through song is certainly unique.
So, '39 is the #39th song of whole official Queen discography. The composer (Brian May) was 39 years old when Queen made his last live show. 39 years later of the release of the song, Interestellar was released. Also, the planet Mercury is 0.39 Astronomical Units (AU) from the sun. Too much 39...
I've always felt that '39 is the companion song to Interstellar, but I never, ever expected to be so affected by a mashup. This is beautiful work! Two moments really affect me: When Brian sings "Never looked back, never feared, never cried," and you see Cooper taking in 23 years of messages, punctuated with Tom showing the picture of his new girlfriend; and "Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me," as Cooper is reunited with Murph. This is stunning and encapsulates so much. Thank you.
the last lines. All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand, for my life, still ahead, pity me. That gets ya. Poor guy has the rest of his life ahead of him, with no loves ones 😔
I've been to see Dr. May some 4 days ago performing '39 here around, and he introduced it as inviting the audience "to a cosmic journey to deep space in search for new land that might be dangerous and some of us may not return", so The Man Himself made the connection obvious, and his related background video also summoned indeed an interstellar space travel... Or maybe he might have seen this on youtube previously...
Well, "a cosmic journey to deep space in search for new land that might be dangerous and some of us may not return" is what the song is explicitly about - it's very fair to say the movie takes more inspiration from the song (which came out in 1975). However, time dilation is a concept that's nearly a century old now, and has been proven experimentally back in the '60s, so it's not like anyone can accuse Nolan of stealing from the song. Can't even accuse May of stealing it from Einstein. ;-)
+MrJest2 meh. Nolan gives nods to the song. there none words could described admirations than action. if Nolan blantantly dedicates this movie to May's 39, there will be someone who accused him trying to ride Queen's famous song to publicy his movie. May would get the nod. they would mutually understand the mutual respect for science and the dream for someday human kind could surfe the space.
Brian May is an astronomer, and he has said in many interviews that he wanted to make a song similar to those old songs about people going away to explore new lands but with a sci-fi twist. He explains that because of time dilatation, the people who went on the journey at great speeds, experienced time much slowly than those back on Earth, which is why, when the protagonist of the song comes back, he sees his (presumably) daughter as a much older woman ("Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me." Her mother has passed away, but she now looks the part because she looks older).
Fantastic mashup mate!!! Still can't believe they didn't use this in the movie, LINES UP PERFECTLY! But I guess only true Queen fans know about it. Well done!
This is simply perfect. I think Christopher Nolan needs to re-cut Interstellar with these 2 very minor additions: include a shot that will show a wall calendar with the year 2039 around the time the expedition leaves, and include this song in the final credits. And make this video the official soundtrack. Interstellar is clearly an adaptation of the '39s lyrics.
@@lltbg i performed this at an open mic recently and someone said they had never had someone attempt it. So it is underrated and one of their best songs
One of the most beautiful pieces I have ever experienced. Congrats on having the vision and talent to put this together! The fact that Brian May of Queen has a PHD in astrophysics explains a lot.
Masterful edit! I was thinking how much this song matched up to Interstellar but you matched it up even more closely than I had imagined! Especially the "write your letters in the sand" line. Wow!
Damien, thank you so much for doing this. I could kiss you. We must leave our mother if we are to survive as a species. So few people understand the great sacrifices that must be made to achieve this. Brian May, DOCTOR Brian May, wrote such a haunting yet sweet song to express the heartache of time dialation. Interstellar, an under-rated film if ever there was one. did such a great job of mythologizing that process, with so many level of homage to 2001 and to science fact. This was a joy.
Found the movie thanks to the song. Nolan has to be a Queen fan... "Don't you hear my call though you're many years away" -- Cooper communicating to Murph in five-dimensional space through the bookcase. "Write your letters in the sand" -- the code written in sand on the floor. That has to be more than just coincidence. Either way, fantastic movie. Wonder if Brian May has ever seen it.
Watched Interstellar yesterday, and today I was reading about the meanings behind Bohemian Rhapsody lyrics (absolutely not related), then this song was mentioned and I found this. “They” brought me here.
The song was written in 1975. The astrophysicist wrote the song. The film was released in 2014. Song 39 is the perfect movie soundtrack! The difference BETWEEN THE RELEASE OF THE SONG AND THE RELEASE OF THE FILM is exactly 39 years! Coincidence?! Unlikely
Not gonna lie, this made me cry. What a missed opportunity Nolan. The part that matches the lyrics "your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me" with Cooper reuniting with Murph broke me in tears.
Same. It always bothered me immensely in the film that Cooper left the room when the government agent came and said "she has her family here now". He should have refused to leave her and said "I am her family! I'm her father and I'm not going anywhere!"
Es el mejor vídeo del mundo. Mi nuevo favorito. No sé que tiene la canción o la película que se me hace increíblemente triste. No puedo no llorar con esto. Brian May es un genio.💕
Cada tanto vuelvo. Es increíble cómo me emociona este video. Excelente trabajo de compaginación. Una muy buena película, en todos sus detalles, una excelente canción y la voz de Brian, qué más se puede pedir!
Just went and rewatched the film after seeing this, probably my favourite space film of all time now, brilliant story, film making and the soundtrack is just … ooh yah.
I was wondering to myself: should I make an Interstellar x '39 edit? Has it been done before? ... well, I couldn't have made it better myself! The images and editing fit the song VERY well. Thanks for sharing :)

It's weird how Interstellar was released 39 years after '39
Coincidence? No. My theory is Nolan is a huge fan of this song, and planned accordingly.
Time dilation, I think?
TheRaakku WHAT?!?!
And now it has 39k views
🤯
This proves Queen was way ahead of their time.
Well, mostly it proves that Brian May is an astrophysicist. :-)

not really
Planet of the apes, the original one...
Not really
The science is
Heh. Ahead of it’s time…. Literally,
Cuz interstellar
Ok the "write your letters in the sand" bit was scary accurate
i wish i could like your comment more then once, at least for every time i klick on this video..
The movie should have been named '39
Or - at the very least - set in 2039.
Instead, Interstellar came out 39 years after the song was released.
@trf12567 Some estimate the movie is set in 2034-2063 based on conditions in the solar system
Big Mike this is sad
Fun fact interstellar came out 39 years after 39
queen time traveller confirmed
Brian May, who wrote this song, is a real Astrophysicist!!!
@Nerd Incorporated Yes perfectly well.
Dr. Brian May.
@@michaelfinlay6341 exactly!!!

Brian has very clever songs, but generally Freddie's songs were the most complex.

Brian my God May
"Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me"
.
.
Can you feel the distance?
this line is sad, indeed it is the harsh reality of life which some people are experiencing and myself might even in the future who knows😫
Only if you've felt a great loss.
I'm not crying, you're crying 😭😭😭
a 3 hour long movie in a 3 minute song
What a wasted opportunity that this song wasn't the end credit of the film.
I love astronomy and Queen
"letters in the sand" holy crap
My holy god. I hadn't noticed that. I'm getting chills. This is indeed creepy
So, '39 is the #39th song of whole official Queen discography. The composer (Brian May) was 39 years old when Queen made his last live show. 39 years later of the release of the song, Interestellar was released. Also, the planet Mercury is 0.39 Astronomical Units (AU) from the sun.
Too much 39...

0:47 this is the part that gives me such good chils
"Sweetest site ever seen" with the earth spinning behind them as they leave.
Whoever disliked this is my personal enemy.
6yrs later there's 6 dislike, we live in matrix confirmed
This was perfect. I even cried because I couldn't hold anymore the feelings from the song and from the movie. I have to share this video.
i know right!! im crying too like a baby, it matches so perfectly, writte you letters in the sand..., and then my tears just fall
SAME HERE CRYCRYCRY ! Excellent video ..Have to share it...
Crying like a baby, here too!
Same
the last lines.
All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand, for my life, still ahead, pity me.
That gets ya. Poor guy has the rest of his life ahead of him, with no loves ones 😔
The perfect song for the movie. I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Goosebumps. One of the best movies, one of the most beautiful Brian May's songs!
Loved the movie, love the song. Genius mashup.
its 39' by Queen

No surprise, he studied Mathematics and Astrophysics back in the late 60s / early 70s and he now has a Doctorate in Astrophysics.
Ingenious Brian's song.
Fantastic mashup mate!!! Still can't believe they didn't use this in the movie, LINES UP PERFECTLY! But I guess only true Queen fans know about it. Well done!
The movie was probably inspired by the song.
Whoever is responsible for crafting this, thank you.
They had the perfect chance to use this song in the movie but they didn’t
its incredible how this song fits so well with the movie atmosphere, although Nolan didn't put this track in the soundtrack
This is simply perfect.

For my life still ahead, pity me.
...what more words could described "bitter sweet" than this?
"All your letters in the sand can not heal me like your hand, for my life, still ahead, pity me" is my favorite part and idk why
This is the best thing to ever fucking exist, I'm sobbing.
That changed my life. I have no words. Just amazing
Do someone know if Brian May has ever said something about this movie? It's too much to be just a coincidence... or Nolan?
The radio before they get to NASA reads “39”. I think Nolan put it in for an Easter egg.
Damn, all these bits of the movie combined with a song are a real tearjerker :,(
This has got to be one of the very best videos on the internet. Just coming here on quarantine to check this work of art...
This brought me shivers and tears. Well done
WOOOOO THAT WAS A WAVE OF EMOTIONS
I cannot believe how perfectly these go together. Awesome job!
Thanks DR May and MR Nolan!!
Interstellar is like if you made a movie out of the concept of '39.
Hans Zimmer had no balls.. It had to be in the movie or in the ost! Merci pour le montage !
Anyone else thinks that's Queens most underrated song ? ^^
Underrated? This is their best song.
@@lltbg i performed this at an open mic recently and someone said they had never had someone attempt it. So it is underrated and one of their best songs
You just literally take my favorite song and my favorite movie and you put it on together. Thanks man

This is such a perfect match that I knew it had to exist.
I was waiting for someone to do this. Thank you
Only just found this....fantastic job, put a smile on my face all the way through
Like si vienes de parte de sígueme el viaje.
Saludos señor Franco ❣️
AN ABSOLUTE PERFECT MASS UP BRILLIANTLY PUT TOGETHER
yes! I knew someone would eventually do it! awesome.
Me too
My husband and I agree the ending of interstellar is too sad. We both cried.
this post trailer is 10000000E1000 better than the actual trailer
Damien, thank you so much for doing this. I could kiss you. We must leave our mother if we are to survive as a species. So few people understand the great sacrifices that must be made to achieve this. Brian May, DOCTOR Brian May, wrote such a haunting yet sweet song to express the heartache of time dialation. Interstellar, an under-rated film if ever there was one. did such a great job of mythologizing that process, with so many level of homage to 2001 and to science fact. This was a joy.
not including this over the credits was a MISSED OPPORTUNITY
I'm crying my eyeballs out. This is just beautiful. Amazing work. Congratulations and THANK YOU from a long time Queen fan ♥️
Bienvenidos Viajeros...
Found the movie thanks to the song. Nolan has to be a Queen fan...
"Don't you hear my call though you're many years away" -- Cooper communicating to Murph in five-dimensional space through the bookcase.

This is perfect. Absolutely perfect.
chilled for 3 minutes 37 seconds straight

Just found this. Extremely beautiful.
Es el mejor vídeo del mundo. Mi nuevo favorito. No sé que tiene la canción o la película que se me hace increíblemente triste. No puedo no llorar con esto. Brian May es un genio.💕
センス良すぎる！
最高に映画と曲がマッチしてる
Cada tanto vuelvo. Es increíble cómo me emociona este video. Excelente trabajo de compaginación. Una muy buena película, en todos sus detalles, una excelente canción y la voz de Brian, qué más se puede pedir!
I absolutely love this, the song fits perfectly
#FollowMeTheTrip viajeros repórtense!
Why isn't 39' in Interstellar cause if it does It Will Be Perfect
why does this video only has 68k views its impossible
I cried
Excellent.
Brian is a prophet.
Nah, just an astrophysicist. 🙂
Wonderful pairing of music and movie, gives me shivers! 😲😁
02:35 i always pause, cry like a little girl, take a deep breath, resume video
I really needed this
This is how the FOREVER WAR movie should start...with this song. Nice video, nice concept.
Gives me goosebumps . 🖤
MASTERPIECE! Perfect synchronization!!
I’m not crying, you’re crying. Powerful. Thanks for making that.
Also, we must be living in a simulation. Unreal man!
Vengo porque macario menciono este vídeo en sigueme el viaje, si un viajero ve ésto saludos
Fantastic idea - to combine this 2 masterpiece Interstellar and 39 by Queen's, similar creations !! Thanks.
This was the perfect mashup.
Just went and rewatched the film after seeing this, probably my favourite space film of all time now, brilliant story, film making and the soundtrack is just … ooh yah.
Brilliant, thank you! This song really deserved a fitting video, and you’ve nailed it.
This song defines Mays P.H.D in astrophysics.
I KNEW THIS KIND OF VIDEO HAD TO BE DONE!!! Just perfect...
I was wondering to myself: should I make an Interstellar x '39 edit? Has it been done before?
... well, I couldn't have made it better myself! The images and editing fit the song VERY well. Thanks for sharing :)
Simply amazing!
Thank you for this.
Who’s chopping onions? What? I’m crying? Couldn’t be!
What an excellent short film. I would not have found the link between these two, but this is masterful.
Genius. Thank you.
This is incredible. Thank you.
Perfect song for this movie
This is truly beautiful. Thank you for making this video.
