Paul Jack Griffiths is watching Queen perform 39 live at earls court in 1977 !! @never looked back never feared never cried ........ 39 was Brians attempt to do sci fi skiffle. 39 relates the tale of a group of space explorers who embark on what is from their perspective, a year long voyage. Upon their return however, they realise that a hundred years have passed because of the time dilation effect in Einsteins special theory of relativity, and the loved ones they left behind are now all dead. Brian sings the song on the album with backing vocals by Fred as well as very high and fairly low harmonies and some falsettos by Roger. Freddie usually performed the vocals on it when 39 was performed live in concert. Brian had asked bassist John to play double bass as a joke but a couple of days later he found John in the studio with the instrument, and he had already learned to play it. Since Queen had named their albums A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races after two of the Marx Brothers most popular films surviving brother Groucho Marx invited Queen to visit him at his Los Angeles home in March 1977. The band thanked him and performed 39 a cappella for him too....... In the year of 39 assembled here the volunteers In the days when the lands were few here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn sweetest sign 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 never looked back never feared never cried dont you hear my call though youre many years away dont you hear me calling you write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand In the land that our grand children 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 well away but my love this cannot be oh so many years have gone though Im older but a year our mothers eyes from your eyes cry to me ........
