Queen - '39 (Lyrics)

[ABBAkitty]

One of my favourite songs from A Night At the Opera. =)

[simpleplanforever77]

[ksa9htn]

[IMM14]

[DILLONSONG]

the year of 39 is infact the year of (queen) 40

Not everyone nows who Tom Cruise is, or who Steven Spielberg is (really?).

Not everyone knows who Roger Waters is or even the band he helped to make so successful.

But as soon as you mention the word "Queen," people know who you're talking about. The band that revolutionized music forever.

[marcellohro]

is this song about space travel?

[dutchsobczak]

@marcellohro I think it's about a person who goes off into the future for what seems like a week, but when they return, 100+ years have passed and everything has changed ("Though their hearts so heavily weigh"). Plus it makes sense if you think about the title and how in the second phase of the lyris (after the second "aah aah" phrase or whatever) it's said that "in the year of '39 a ship came in from the blue." but they never say what century it is (in the year of 1839....in the year of 1939)

[Romerootje]

@marcellohro I think it's about the theory of relativity (from Einstein), I don't know much about it but I think it works like this: you go in a spaceship which travels faster than light and when you get back to earth, for you only one year has passed, but on earth it's many years later. Something like that :) sorry for my english, I'm Dutch ;p

[Fritzes007]

@Romerootje The spaceship has to travel a little bit slower than light to make '39 come true ;) If it's faster than light it would be travelling back in time.

[DILLONSONG]

@Fritzes007

the rodinal year would help with that confusion though

as queen 4o is infact queen 39 so they got a year to make up for the difference in reality

is this the real life..?

[DILLONSONG]

@DILLONSONG

*ordinal not rodinal

[Romerootje]

@Fritzes007 haha yes you're right :) I'm learning things about this in school at the moment but I don't understand much of it :P

[DILLONSONG]

@Romerootje

you mean like a rocket ship on its way to mars?

or marc martel as the case maybe

from mars to mercury.

[DILLONSONG]

@DILLONSONG

sent back from mars to earth

as marc means sent from mars

as does martel and that would fit seeing as they been out then come back

[Romerootje]

@DILLONSONG I don't really understand what you mean... (sorry :P). what Fritzes007 said is right, with a spaceship which travels reaally fast (but not as fast as light) so that time on earth goes faster. I don't know :P Brian is too smart haha

[MercuryMyLove]

I love this song!!!!! <3

[TheRudygast]

someone knows the name of their number that starts with some kind of solo?

plz tell it me then

[amanda2109114]

All fans of Queen are the smartest people in the world!!!!!

[spurs7300]

@amanda2109114 The Music of Queen is very unique and I always love their music since I bought my first album when I was in High School. I was in the Army and made my first overseas tour in Berlin Germany in the Berlin Brigade. I saw them in 30th of November of 1980 in Berlin. Queen will always "Rocks".

[amanda2109114]

@spurs7300 I adore Brian in Queen! I love them all but Brian is sooooo cute and irresistible!!!! but Queen will be in a lot of people's hearts all they're life!! And I'm making a group (Club) to keep Queen alive!! So far I have 3 others! They come from all around the world! Just my best friends!! Great people and we'll all get together and save they're memories forever!

[spurs7300]

@amanda2109114 You can count me in! I have some photo's of Queen in my facebook albums under Berlin Brigade. I used a telephoto lense on my camera to get some close pics. I still have the ticket stub from 1980. Just tell me what I have to do to join your club. Queen & Freddie Mercury will be alive in our minds and hearts.

[amanda2109114]

@spurs7300 All you have to really do is keep Queen alive! Thats all!

[ehelibuff73]

@amanda2109114 Because we know real talent... Name one band that can be as diverse and perfect?

[amanda2109114]

@ehelibuff73 QUEEN!!!!!!!!!

[goldenhopper]

@ehelibuff73 Only Queen and The Beatles - no one else!

[ehelibuff73]

@amanda2109114 God damn right!!!!!!

[amanda2109114]

@ehelibuff73 The only one better is Queen themselves when they make a new song and that new one gets popular and the other one becomes less popular, you know... It happens to every band. BUT I WONT EVER FORGET ABOUT QUEEN!!!! QUEEN IS KING!!!!!!!

[thewriter1008]

@amanda2109114 Oh, trust me. Not so. Some of them go on about how there's no more good music which is 1) annoying 2) not true. Also, I had a friend for about two weeks...he was a homophobic idiotic psychopath, but he told me once never to say anything bad about Queen. Considering that one time he implied it's not OK to be gay, I think that would count as hypocrisy.

[MJItalyKid91]

@amanda2109114 Totally true mate. I've been Queen's fan since 2007, but everyone in my class despised Queen and also me... hell fuck them! I didn't care about that... I still know that I'm so fucking proud to be Queen's fan! The only fan in Vietnam! :D

[potimaja]

@amanda2109114 You are sooooooooo right

[MercuryMyLove]

I love it!! (: <3

[Dakd13]

AGUANTE QUEEN!!!!!

[TheJDanley]

[spurs7300]

@TheJDanley I know some of these no-hits songs are great!

[Guillec1997]
