Geocache Description:


'39
The song '39 was written and sung by Brian May with Freddie Mercury backing.


When most people hear it, they think of men on a boat, leaving and coming back after a long voyage at sea.
BUT
'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 realize that a hundred years have passed, because of the time dilation effect in Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity, and the loved ones they left behind are now all dead.
When the men return they have aged only a year, but the population of Earth has aged several decades.
One man sees his daughter who's eyes remind him of the wife who has since died. The man of course grows sad and depressed having no means of talking with his long departed wife, and writes letters to her in the sand.
Someday, he will depart again from the world, and finally be with her once more, yet not until the rest of his life has been lived.
The story carries with it a bittersweet tale, full of love and loss, like many of Brian's songs do.

This song is also aptly titled, as it was their 39th song in chronological order and by far my most favorite Queen song.


Never look back, never fear, never cry!
