The Reviews about '39 (page 3/ 4)
------ performed by Queen


Einstein meets May... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/25/07

It's a song about relativistic time dilation! (The only one, I think... :-)

A spacecraft leaves Earth, travels at a fair old fraction of lightspeed out into the Milky Way ("milky sea"), so the clocks of the travellers slow down, relative to the folks left at home. They find their new world, and return to Earth (also at high speed), to find that -- although for them only a year has gone by -- a century (at least) has passed back home (hence the return in "'39"), their loved ones are gone, and they are met by their descendants.

Review about Queen | Reviewer: sickboy | 9/19/07

First time I heard 39 I thought it was about some WWII volunteers who are living USA for Europe.
Now I realize it was a strange story about space travelling. At some moment in time a ship with volunteers discovers a new born world. They come home and try to convince the others to follow them there. But a woman decides to stay. The song is a sad dialogue between the man, now on a new planet, years away, and his wife who decided to stay on the Earth, the earth our grand-children knew. They will never see each other again.
Sad and beautiful.

wonderful song | Reviewer: Trav | 8/16/07

Though I am not a big Queen fan, when I heard this song when it 1st came out, it quickly became one of my favorite songs (and I have a VERY eclectic taste in music). The lyrics were a bit hard to make logical sense until I read that Brian May earned a degree in Astro-physics. Now, from a science person, I have a new found appreciation for the lyrics. Once again, a very beautiful song - I think I'll play it for my kids along with the classical music.



Nice song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/9/07

I was too young when started to listen to Queen's song..my dad bought me the Long Play Queen live killer...unforgetable.



Queen- 39 | Reviewer: Caitlin | 8/2/07

This is a really good song. I love the guitar in it. I learned how to play it actually. Too bad Freddie Mercury died, he could`ve written so many other songs. I love their music, LONG LIVE ``QUEEN``!!
