| | '39 Lyrics Artist(Band):Queen
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'll take your hand In the land that our grand-children knew In the year of thirty-nine 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 darlin' well away But my love this cannot be Oh 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'll take your hand In the land that our grand-children 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's still ahead, pity me.

Review about '39 . | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/3/09 The song isn't actually in colonial times, but more like in the future. In some odd year of '39 when the Earth is slowly dying, 20 volunteers went out to look for another 'Earth'. Which is when he says they 'sailed the Milky Seas,' an obvious reference to the Milky Way. The second verse tells when the volunteer came back to earth in the year '39, but this is a hundred years later. 'so many years have gone, though I'm older but a year.' Which most likely means that though a century passed on Earth, the volunteers only felt and aged a year difference, probably cause of time dilation. The last lines of the verse is most likely when he met his son, or grandson, since the ones that the volunteers knew already passed away. 'little darlin' well away'. Just my 2c on the song Colonial song? | Reviewer: Fraser | 11/8/09 This song seems to me to be a British colonial song- Explorers sailing for New Zealand or Australia from Britain, finding new lands full of beauty and potential, and then returning sad that the new lands would be turned 'old and grey' by the grandchildren of the settlers. The 'land that our grandchildren knew' is the settler colony Bob Dylan's 'When the Ship Comes in' | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/30/09 There is a clear influence most obvious when Dylan's is heard right after this. Having said that, who did Dylan not influence? Having said that, this is still a great song and I could listen to it for hours. It's my favourite queen song along with 'Radio Gaga' Alright, but | Reviewer: Tom | 8/5/09 Jack, as I don't know any better, I'll take your and Dazz's words for it, but either said scifi story was inspired by Chopin's last years, or that's the weirdest set of coincidences I've ever heard of. And I'm usually the first person in the room to call bullshit on coincidences like that. here's the deal. | Reviewer: jackflash | 5/16/09 as Dazza pointed out, it's actually a sci-fi story. brian may pointed this out himself. it actually does all fit. i believe the reason that it's called '39 and that the year is '39 is because the song is, in fact, Queen's 39th song in their studio album chronology. Chopin | Reviewer: Tom | 12/5/08 In response to cerulans' notes about Chopin, one other thing about that: Chopin died of TB at the age of...39. I think cerulans may have hit this on the head. In any case, one of my favorite songs. Response to Keren | Reviewer: Tricky | 8/1/08 "And the story tellers say that the score brave souls inside" Score is an old term for the number 20. Entonces, dice "Los narradores dicen que los veinte almas valientes dentro". Dentro referriendo al astronave. yes i like Que, though I'm only 18 and peolep do not understand how I can listen to "that" music | Reviewer: Keren Amaya | 7/26/08 Due to the fact that I happen to live in a non-speaking country (Colombia), in a city where Rock, metal, and others are not quiet popular; yes I live in Barranquilla, Colombia, and considered an outcast by many that do not like music that cannot be danced at a disco, I like it, and still waiting for the preview message I wrote to be responded. Here it goes again: "I have a question, I hope someone can help me, I am a student here in Colombia and i do not understand the part of this song where it says "And the story tellers say that the score brave souls inside". I do not know what it means, as i do not find the logic, I just need a literal explanation of the text,not rhetorical, let me infer that on my own,as English is not my mother tongue but I try to improve it as much as possible and love English..and Queen of course. Thanks" Oh yes, then I am Queen Mary | Reviewer: Keren Amaya | 7/26/08 Please, if this guy is Brian May, I am Queen Mary; the age is not the most significant fact to assure Brian May would use capitals or not, but I do not particularly think a person with that fame would write in this page, or even make comments like that, or call his band partner Roger "Roger Taylor" having worked for such a long time together... Better luck next time, I have a question, I hope someone can help me, I am a student here in Colombia and i do not understand the part of this song where it says "And the story tellers say that the score brave souls inside". I do not know what it means, as i do not find the logic, I just need a literal explanation of the text,not rhetorical, let me infer that on my own,as English is not my mother tongue but I try to improve it as much as possible and love English..and Queen of course. Thanks i thought it was about the war, but its SCI-FI ! | Reviewer: Dazza | 6/26/08 All, this song is a sci fi story. I always had images of WWII evoked when hearing it but found out today it was sci-fi from a mate who watched the Classic Albums DVD regarding Night at the Opera.
