- Queen - Princes Of The Universe (HD)
"Princes of the Universe" is a song written by Freddie Mercury and performed by Queen. The song was written for the soundtrack of the movie Highlander and released on the A Kind of Magic album in 1986.This song is the only song which Mercury receives sole credit for on the entire album. Later it was also used for the Highlander: The Series as its theme song. The song was never released as a single in the United Kingdom, and while it never truly charted, it is considered a cult favourite because of its relation to the film. In the movie, the guitar solo in the beginning is cut out.
The music video was directed by Russell Mulcahy and was shot on the Silvercup rooftop stage used for the film, featuring a sword fight between Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) and Freddie Mercury (Freddie wielding his trademark bottomless mic stand instead of a sword) intercut with scenes from the movie. During the video, guitarist Brian May appears without his Red Special, but instead with a white Washburn RR11V. The video was actually played quite a bit on music video stations (in the US) when this single came out, despite not charting. Up until its eventual release on Greatest Flix III (VHS, 1999) and Greatest Video Hits 2 (DVD, 2003), it was rarely seen by fans outside North America, elevating its possession to collector's item status.
The lyrics are from the perspective of the immortals, about the state of being immortal, the superiority it gives them to normal humans, and the test that they all always have to face because of this. The lyrics can also be interpreted as regarding Queen themselves: "People talk about you, people say you've had your day / I'm a man that will go far, find the moon and reach for the stars." The song "Who Wants to Live Forever" is the foil of this song, and features in the film. - Hudba
Thank you, Luke Smith.

DIRECTOR'S CUT - PART I
Amazing music. The world will never see another band like Queen.
Every time I hear this song, I think of Adrian Paul...oh that sexy Highlander ;) lol Awesome song :)
Thanks Luke Smith
Thanks bungie, very cool
Big Fans of queen is here 👍
Okay. Wasn’t expecting this from Luke 😂
Who else is here from Luke Smith✋
Thank you, kind Luke Smith, for a new song to enjoy!
2020 still watching this show and Queen i love this man he was a soul before his time
Freddie looks so handsome ♥ wish he was live 😣 how he looks like on 73...
Much as I love both this song and the "Highlander" series, I can never hear this song without thinking that it would make the perfect anthem for the followers of Ayn Rand. Any new film of "The Fountainhead" or "Atlas Shrugged" could play this under the opening credits.
gross
love that he is actually in the video LOLOLOLOLOL
Bad Ass song!! Loved the movie
Freddie was a GENUIS and so where the rest of the crew....
FUCK THE FUCK YEAH!!! The show had the best intro thanks to this song. Rock ON!
One word, Epic
Freddie mercury
Long to Legend
how many years have passed? 40?
and I still think the sneaker plus gabardine combo is the coolest thing in the world. It's called imprinting, I think.
Unquestionably awesone
“I’ve been alive for four and a half centuries, I am immortal.”
Epicness.
Miss Freddy his music always resonates
very sick channel mate - thank you for this pump up!!!!
Freddie Mercury
Long Live To Legend
Freddie was the best, the one and the only one
Love it
Love the intro.
Best song...
in 2014 still listening !!
...2098 y se seguirá escuchando... Pues no ves que es Inmortal??
his father and mother were Parsi but he was born in Tanzania ( Africa ) and raised in India. Get your facts right before you say someone else is wrong. :))
I don't know why Queen shows don't singing this music. Rock classic by Queen.
Bad ass song for all times for the movie (Highlander - 1986 and sequels as well) & t.v. series (Original run October 3, 1992 - May 16, 1998), I love it for all times! LOL :) There can be only one! ;)
There can be only ONE.
Stays epic i liked this song wfrom the day i was born
Thank god for the comments section now I know what Year it is

no hate - I started listening Queen songs because of this one ;-)
Her I am... I'm the princess of the universe (lol)... Fighting for survival... I have no rival, no man can be my equal !!! ... I know that ppl talk about me, I hear every it day, and I can prove they're wrong COS' I'M RIGHT FIRST TIME !!!
Ich bin keine untermensch, Ich bin das übermensch !!! Ah Ah Ah
1:49 that cut mic cable with the XLR connector tho. Some sword did it. Now it's a wireless mic. lol.
So today I found out that today its Freddie Mercury's day XD
Queen-PrincesOf Universe
i could listen to 3:12 onwards for the rest of time. so good
I didn't know Raiden was Scottish!
Best Off
"Fighting for survival in a war with the DARKest powers" indeed. Who knew #Destiny2 was based on the lyrics to a Queen song.
ur right
I'm a Queen fanatic AND a Highlander fanatic. Still think Bohemian Rhapsody is the best but this song and "Who Wants To Live Forever are very close 2nds.
Best queen song. I'm sure il get some hate for that
Fun Fact: This song was written as homage to the blinding divinity of my friend and I. We were appeased and agreed on the continuation of mans meager existence. You're welcome.

Yep.. new highlander with cavil as MacLeoud likely
bless you luke smith
Why, why, WHY must they remake the movie? The original is too perfect.
The original was certainly awesome for it's time, but it doesn't hold up *AT ALL*. I watched it again with my 11 year old daughter a couple of weeks ago (2019), and she pointed out the myriad of anachronistic silliness in that film. Its portrayal of women is horribly sexist and badly out of touch with modern conventions. All the women ran around screaming and acting otherwise like morons (save for Dr. Wyatt, who made some ridiculous unrealistically bad choices), Heather in particular was a moron for staying in the castle while Kurgan fought and killed Ramirez (she had plenty of time to run and flee the castle to get help, or at least hide), and most of the other 80's tropes are just bad.
In the right hands, it could be magnificent for a new generation of fans, but it badly needs to be updated. The audience is a lot smarter now than it was in the 80's (since information is just a keyboard warrior click away and shows based in history - whether it be fantasy or non-fiction - abound).
who came here from D2 Director's Cut?
Luke smith a queen fan 🤔
lmao luke smith you're great
For the money, dear boy.
Nice beard.
Don't forget the t.v series as well
Boy, they all look so hot in this video. I like what they’re wearing; everyone especially Freddie.
neil plz
So, where is HD?
its encoded in 720p which means you get higher audio quality due to stupid youtube compression.
can you tell he's Persian with lyrics like this??
ben row I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings,
I have no rival, No man can be my equal,
Take me to the future of your world,
+Pupupuia Parsing? do you even know what you are talking about? LOL . you should really not make a comment about something you know nothing about !
+Pupupuia Parsi is just the PERSIAN word for being PERSIAN. Parsi is a place in IRAN. he is of Persian blood. in fact since his family left Iran before the Arabs came, he is PURE PERSIAN. It doesn't matter where people live, their blood doesn't change. therefore ipso facto he is PERSIAN
+Pupupuia do you think i am not Iranian? Quoting WIKIPEDIA as your source makes it LAUGHABLE . the PARSI Left IRAN in 800 -1000 AD . they were living in PERSIA for 3000 thousand years before that.
QUOTE from encyclopedia NOT WIKIPEDIA :
"Parsi, also spelled Parsee, member of a group of followers in India of the Iranian prophet Zoroaster. The Parsis, whose name means “Persians,” are descended from Persian Zoroastrians who emigrated to India to avoid religious persecution by the Muslims"
Welp d2 fans are all here
FREDDIE WAS THE LAST ONE....

Conan.
Not hate, just a condescending eyeroll
