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.

      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.

    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'.

The whole band at the front of the stage and Roger hitting the high notes.

    In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers
    In the days when lands were few
    Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
    The sweetest sight ever seen
    And the night followed day
    And the story tellers say
    That the score brave souls inside
    For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
    Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried
    Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
    Don't you hear me calling you
    Write your letters in the sand
    For the day I take your hand
    In the land that our grandchildren knew
    In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
    The volunteers came home that day
    And they bring good news of a world so newly born
    Though their hearts so heavily weigh
    For the earth is old and grey, little darling, we'll away
    But my love this cannot be
    For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
    Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me
    Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
    Don't you hear me calling you
    Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
    In the land that our grandchildren knew
    Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
    Don't you hear me calling you
    All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
    For my life
    Still ahead
    Pity me

    So beautiful. This song has poured deep into my soul, this past year. No one will understand how much " '39 " has guided me throughout this year. It doesn't have another human being connection for me. As no one I know has ever talked about this song. The singing is just everything. It's so profound.

    It's difficult to choose a favorite moment -- (like how do you top the bit with the hat?). But if I had to go with one, it would be at 2:34 -- where he slides back and belts it out with Roger. Just BRILLIANT!

    Although Freddy was a very talented and expressive musician, I've always though Brian sings this song better than anyone--probably because he's one of the few people who really understands what it's actually about...
