Brian May is no stranger to the Canary Islands’ largest island. The star first visited Tenerife back in 1970 to work on his PhD at the observatory high up in Teide National Park by an active volcano. Now the Queen guitarist returns to shoot a new music video for the remastered re-release of his second solo album Another World, following on from last year’s Back to the Light. Taking a breather from filming, the 74-year-old shared a video with his fans by the Observatorio del Teide, where he performed ’39.
Brian wrote ’39 for the 1975 Queen album A Night at the Opera, with lyrics telling a story that years later would coincidently be reflected in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar.
The song speaks of an astronaut who travels far away into space, returning to Earth after one year, but finding that it’s been a century for those who stayed behind thanks to Einstein’s clock paradox.
In his new video, Brian said: “Hello folks, this is Bri with an unusual Instagram post. I’m here in the wonderful Tenerife at the beautiful observatory, feeling very privileged shooting a video for Another World. And it’s been a great kind of time travel journey for me because, of course, the song goes back many, many years. But the song that I’d like to sing for you today goes back further than that. I’ve been reluctant to post anything recently because of the terrible tragedy unfolding in the world. But I’m hoping this song might offer a little bit of hope; some belief that things will be okay in the future. And if we look at things in the context the passage of time, everything has to be and will be and it’s going to be okay.” He then took it away, encouraging fans to join in at home.
