Oh wow, how cool is that song? I can't remember when the last time was that I heard this one. I needed more info so I got this from wikapedia:
 "The song 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 realize that, due to the effects of time dilation from traveling at relativistic speeds, a hundred years have passed on Earth, and the loved ones they left behind are now all dead or aged."

Exactly!

The same way that Earle Bailey from Sirius XM described it when he played it on Classic Vinyl. That prompted me to post it.

Yeah, that's a cool song but I wonder why he named it "39"

that is a good question. I honestly only have a vague memory of hearing this song even though it's really good. Wonder why this one didn't get much air play.

I thought I heard every Queen song but I guess not because I've never heard this one. Great pick, Seymouro!

Did I ever tell you guys about the time I went to see Queen? She rocked but wasn't quite what I expected
