Queen - '39 THROUGH THE YEARS (Brian May's song)

Finally a Brian song, and what a gem it is.
I don't think it has ever gotten the recognition it deserves, but hopefully the current hype that the band regained will do the job (with a little help from me?).
Brian wrote the song, but Freddie was the one that sang it on concerts through the years. Don't kill me, but this specific song, in my opinion, sounds better with Brian's warm/soft voice.
listen to the Official if you haven't, and comment what you think.
Also, Roger's high vocals are basically heaven.

is it just me. or does this song make me feel kinda sad but happy?

[@11matt11]

Nostalgia and futuristic at the same time. That's what it felt when it came out. The sense of that in this song is somehow much stronger today. I was in the concert in Toronto the other night, and almost everybody knew the words to this classic now. 5 years ago, not so much.

[@Falcrist]

@@11matt11 The tune has strong folk influences, yet talks about space travel.

The comparison between the old Roger and the young Roger proves that somethings never change :)

[@Storystein]

_YES._ '39 has a special place in my heart. I've listened to A Night At The Opera hundreds of times, and this one always felt like a sad dream, a story you sing along and hum. Very underappreciated, and only now do I realize I had never heard a live version of it, so thank you!

Four great, exceptional musicians with the most adorable personalities. Freddie and Roger, the more playful, mischievous ones. Brian and John, the serious, reserved ones, who seem to be always amused by Freddie's and Roger's antics. A band 'made (and planned) in heaven'.

THIS was the best Queen gig I’d ever been to. Amongst the others was Live Aid & Fridays Wembley 86 performance. The only reason that this performance isn’t rated the greatest is that it hasn’t been so well documented and seen by so many people.! I was only 14 at the time and had also been to the gig the night before in the Monday night but this one was even better.
