Brian May, the legendary guitarist of Queen, a rock music legend, was as much about the James Webb telescope as the rest of the world. Actually, this is normal because he has a PhD in astrophysics.
Queen’s guitarist Brian May, who is still active with Adam Lambert, performed a song with composer Graham Gouldman in honor of the first color photographs of the James Webb space telescope. Let’s take a look at the details of the song together.
“The sky is the limit of what we can learn”
The release of May and Gouldman’s song Floating In Heaven coincided with the release of the first color photographs sent to Earth by the James Webb space telescope. “There’s nothing more exciting in a world of discovery than going somewhere you know nothing about,” says Brian May, PhD, in astrophysics.
In the music video, we can see a moment when Brian May is playing his guitar ‘in space’ while Gouldman glides through space and sings. As a matter of fact, this new song from Queen’s guitarist isn’t Queen’s first song about space.
Another space-related song, ’39, was featured on Queen’s 1975 album A Night At The Opera, and it tells the story of a group of space explorers who set out to return home during their one-year journey that spanned a century. What do you think about the new song? Please do not forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
