And Yes I silently cheered seeing the Highlander show up in Mortal Kombat a decade later, with that laugh (you humans are so unpredictable).

My understanding is that one of the ways Queen was enticed to write the score was that they retained the right to release an album. Even the name of the album was taken from a line in the movie when Connor is saying goodbye to Rachel. “It’s a kind of magic.” So, yes, this is from the soundtrack.

Okay...now that you have heard this song, you need to see the film it comes from...Highlander! Starring Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, and Clancy Brown, it tells the story of immortals battling in New York City to win a mystical prize, with lots of flashbacks to eras in history focusing on Lambert's character, Connor Macleod (Mac Cloud), a Scots warrior from 16th Century Scotland. The scene that this song plays over is haunting and sad...and one of my favorite moments in the film. This is just one of several songs Queen wrote for the film, others being "Kind Of Magic", "Princes Of the Universe", "One Year Of Love", "Gimme The Prize", and "Hammer To Fall". All of the songs were released on the Kind of Magic album.

@@conniedean1977 Couldn't agree with you more and it wasn't even close. I recently introduced my sister to the show and she absolutely loves it as well. Sure there was some 90's cheese but the series delved into so many more interesting things about what actually being an immortal meant. Topics that they couldn't really touch on (much less in depth) in the the movies due to time constraints. Adrian Paul and Stan Kirsh were both so good in their roles. Amanda was a really good side character as well, and then there was Methos who was the best character in the whole series. So interesting that a reboot of the movies is confirmed and in the works. I think with the director of John Wick and Henry Cavill on board as Connor MacLeod there is a real chance for the thing to succeed. The rumors are that apparently they are going not only borrow from what's already been done in the movies but also borrow ideas and lore from the series which should also up the chance for it to be really good.

Thank you so much for playing the official video. The live version only has Freddy doing both vocal parts, where this one shows the beautiful contrast between Brian's and Freddy's vocals. While Freddy's vocals are always great, I prefer heading the two different vocals on this one. By the way, there is an instrumental version of this song called "Forever", which is a bonus track on the "A Kind Of Magic" album. That album is mostly the soundtrack for the movie "Highlander", but also includes "One Vision" from the movie "Iron Eagle". To fully understand the meaning behind this song, you really need to watch the movie "Highlander". I recommend the director's cut, which has a little more background information filled in. I don't want to ruin the song or the movie for you, but the song directly relates to a key part of the movie.

I can't imagine dying of a disease and having to write songs for a movie, about a man that is Immortal. Has to watch everyone he ever loved pass away while he never grows older.

Such a beautiful song! Brian May sang some sections of this song which shows his singing talent. Brian & Roger sang on the track 'No one but you (only the good die young)' which was after Freddie death. You should check that beauty out soon. 👍

When Freddy recorded this song, he was already deathly ill suffering from the effects of AIDS but was determined to record the song even though he was in such a weak state of health. R.I.P. Freddy.

The penultimate lyrics: "Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever Forever is our today Who waits forever anyway?" Brian May/Queen define *forever*. Only One Sweet Moment set aside for us... Forever is our *today*; who *waits* forever (even one day). "'Carpe Diem"! This day, this moment, is all we have, each moment is our only forever. ❣Thank you Dr. Sir Brian, Freddie, Roger and John. Powerful. Brilliant 🤗

After all these years the foreshadowing of this song and Freddie Mercury's diagnosis and untimely death and the touching scene in Highlander this song was written for still brings tears. RiP Freddie. Your music still brings joy in my life.

One of my favorite Queen songs. It's just so damn beautiful. And the guitar and drums and orchestration elevate the song to a whole other level. It touches my heart every time I hear it. So glad you both loved it too! 🎵🎶

With your love of Queen, I highly recommend that you watch the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert that was held in Wembley Stadium after he passed. The bulk of the show is various artists performing with the remaining members of Queen. Iconic performances include Seal doing “Who Wants To Live Forever”, George Michael’s “Somebody To Love”, Paul Young singing “Radio Gaga”, Elton John and Axl Rose (yes, you read that right) nailing “Bohemian Rhapsody”. and many more. My favorites are Annie Lennox and David Bowie crushing “Under Pressure” and then Bowie getting to perform “Heroes” with the band. I believe that most all are available to stream.

R.I.P. Legend Freddie Mercury. You are gone but never forgotten. Say hi to Bon and Mal and tell them they are also loved and missed and hopefully someday we'll all join them for an amazing show! Highlander was such a badass movie. Total 80's movie with swords, sorcery and music! The church scene is STILL a classic! "I have something to say: It's better to burn out than fade away!"

Since you were finally able to get to this song, you have to check out the movie "Highlander" (Which happens to be about immortals) in which this song was featured in. Queen had several songs in the soundtrack for it. Another of which is Hammer to Fall, which is in the movie you just saw about them when they performed at Live Aid!!!

This is from the movie Highlander(1986) with Christopher Lambert as Connor Mc Cleod, he's immortal and this song is playing when his mortal wife, the love of his life is dying, it's a very sad moment, giving you wet eyes. The song Princes Of The Universe is from the same movie and in the official video you can see some fragments from the movie through the song, The song is awesome, I guarantee you. I already recommended it earlier but maybe you already tried to upload it and KZitem didn't give permission yet, I don't know.

All I know is I’m transported back to childhood. My weekend in Muskogee, Oklahoma and my dear Geannie drops me off at Curt’s Mall, where they have a dilapidated twin cinema and Highlander is playing. As a lifetime film buff, I couldn’t wait to see this based on the trailers and the fact Queen wrote the songs. It did not disappoint and now forever lives on my eternal soundtrack of my life.

This song is incredibly bittersweet.Freddie Mercury was the first famous singer that died from AIDS,and that shook us to the core! Like Karen Carpenter passed from Anorexia,and John Lennon being gunned down right in front of his apartment by a crazed " fan". Karen could not see her beauty and worth.John Lennon got taken away in violence,yet was one of the most peace loving man alive.Freddy was a consummate performer with a one of a kind vocal,and we wished he could have lived forever.After he died,you could not keep the tears back whenever this song was heard...😥😔
