    Brian May wrote this song specifically for the 1986 movie HIGHLANDER, Queen were asked by the director Russell Mulcahy to do one song for the movie and ended up doing the whole soundtrack and made a huge difference for the film

    The song was a bout a fictional character called Connor MacLeod (The Highlander) who was born in 1518 and never aged beyond ~30 years. This might sound incredible, but he had fallen in love over and over and watched his loved ones age and die over and over. All he wanted by this stage was to be able to grow old and die himself. Amazing movie BTW with an amazing soundtrack by Queen.

      You sure you’re not thinking of ‘39? Despite John being shown with a double bass in this video, I’m pretty sure the bass you hear is an electric bass, and he didn’t get involved in the orchestral stuff. But apparently he did learn to play a double bass for ‘39.

    Time for you two to watch the sci-fi fantasy film "Highlander" - from 1986. Queen were asked to do one song for the film, and, the little over-achievers did seven of them instead. Their music really helps the film along. The film never released the actual movie score, instead Queen released the music in their own album, "A Kind Of Magic". And it ended up being their final tour as well. (Roger and Brian both have solo songs on Queen albums, you just haven't done them yet).

    I know you guys have a rule - like so many reactors do - about only hearing a song if you haven’t heard it before/only reacting to a song once…
    With Queen, tho, there’s ALSO the factor that - whenever they performed a song live, they ALWAYS “reworked” the song/altered it in various ways, so that live audiences would have a DIFFERENT experience from just hearing the same studio track. (They also altered/“tweaked” things from one live show to another, so if someone attended different shows they would have a different experience… Then, add in Freddie’s unscripted ad libs on top of that!)
    Anyway, my point is: If you’ve heard one version of a given Queen song - the studio version, for example - maybe consider also reacting to a live version, as well… because they’re always TOTALLY different.🖖

    Never underestimate Brian and Roger vocal performances; yes, FM is the GOAT, but BM and RT are brilliant, as well.

You should listen to Adam Lambert sing this song at the isle of wight festival 2016. If you want to listen to Brian May, listen to the song he sings as a solo called Too Much Love can Kill You. Just beautiful.

    Most of the songs written for the film Highlander were released on the Album "A Kind of Magic" in 1986 (an unofficial soundtrack) . This video was made in September 1986 before Freddie was officially diagnosed with Aids, but he was already displaying symptoms and had been since 1982 so he probably knew. Which makes the song so much more relevant and potent. The film is great by the way, if you haven't seen it yet (apart from the accents). I believe there is a remake planned for 2026 with Henry Cavill where they are hoping to use the original songs

    It's probably Brian May's best song (he also wrote We Will Rock You and The Show Must Go On BTW ), but I think the movie edit video works better in terms of the song's meaning. Who Wants was written for a movie to back a montage of an immortal's life with his first love at her death. The film is really good as well. HIghlander. It's currently rumoured being remade so watch the original because they'll probably make Macleod a woke icon and have them throwing handbags rather than decapitating to gain the prize! (That will make sense if you watch it!)
