JAKARTA - Queen guitarist Brian May re-released the song Another World which was translated into Spanish into Otro Lugar accompanied by a music video on Friday local time.
The 74-year-old music star traveled to the Spanish islands of Tenerife, La Palma and El Hierro to shoot the new music video as part of the remastered version of his solo album, also titled Another World (1998).
"It's magical like being on a cloud all the time. They call it a sea of clouds... And for me, it's the closest to heaven I've ever felt," May said of the set for her music video to Reuters.
At that time, May was at the Teide Observatory Tenerife, Spain. The place he first visited in 1970 while studying astrophysics for his PhD.
In the process of translating the song Another World, May collaborated with a friend. It was May's first full-length song in Spanish. An English version of Another World was also re-released along with the music video.
May described the song Another World as a romantic song that tells the story of trying to reach a place where the world is better.
"We recorded both versions ... and the Spanish version came out much better. The song flowed from me very easily," May said.
The musician who rose to global fame with Queen says he is re-released Another World to reach new listeners. Previously, May re-released her debut solo album Back to the Light (1992) last year.
"I put my heart and soul into these two albums... and none of them were available to a new generation for years because you can't get them on Spotify or Apple Music or any YouTube... so I felt like being represented, " he said.
According to May, re-issued songs in her old solo album are relevant nowadays. He said it was a way for May's generation of musicians to continue their work in the present.
Later this month, May will embark on the Queen + Adam Lambert Rhapsody concert tour in the UK and Europe. This concert has been postponed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
