It's really important to consider that this song was created as part of a soundtrack to the 1986 fantasy movie Highlander about immortals ('princes of the universe'). It's styling is very much built for that, as is clear from the music video!

Hi guys, I love your reactions but I'd suggest not reacting to anymore from the Magic tour. Queen was amazing as always but Freddie's vocals were really suffering, especially Wembley. The late 70's and early to mid 80's He was really in his prime vocally. I saw Queen twice, 1979 and 80. Dreamers Ball in Paris, 1979, Loser in the End, or Dragon attack live are all really good choices. Also anything from the Milton Keynes concert, they were on fire that night!

Its perfect for the movie, a very dark badass fantasy action cult movie. The soundtrack intro sounds a bit different , slightly more heavy to what they used for the movie than the song itself. Very underrated, very under appreciated as a movie soundtrack and as a heavy rock song. Another hidden gem by Queen

If you look at the IMBd link for The Highlander movie, you’ll see that Queen actually did 8 songs for the soundtrack. The man was immortal, there could be only one. In one of his lives, he falls in love & has to watch her age and die in his arms. This is where “Who wants to live forever” comes in. As well as one of Freddie’s best vocal performances, written by the highly under-rated John Deacon. PLEASE react to the lyric version of “One year of Love”. They never did it live, and Freddie’s blows this one out of the water! Love you guys!

It’s a hard life is the better power ballade of all times

The song was written for the soundtrack of the movie HIGHLANDER (hence the lyrics). It was kind of the main theme, with A KIND OF MAGIC as end credits song, the ballad WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER as the theme of the movie's hero, and the heavy metal anthem GIMME THE PRIZE as the theme of the villain. I would recommend GIMME THE PRIZE. I think you would enjoy that song more, if only for Brian May's guitar work on it.

I foresee a re-watch of Highlander in my near future... probably followed immediately by a re-watch of Flash Gordon. Queen on 80's sci-fi/fantasy movie soundtracks was an amazing combo.

I get too aroused watching flash Gordon. If you pause it just right you can see some of Brian Blessed's ball sack.

The entire "It's a Kind of Magic" album is AMAZING!!!!

don´t forget this is film-music. your critique is understandable, but the song is a perfect fit in the movie (highlander).

I see everyone's telling you about "Highlander". Another rocker from the soundtrack is "Gimme the Prize". It's also lyrically about the film, especially the badass & genuinely frightening villain. You should react to it. Like this song it demonstrates that Queen could still rock hard in the 80's. Brian's guitar is searing & Freddie's "rough" voice is killer. And right in the middle of it Brian, genius that he is, makes his guitar sound like bagpipes playing a highland march! I'd bet money you guys would both love it. Now that you've done "Princes" you should watch the music video to give you a better idea what the movie's about. And if you do "Gimme the Prize" you should do the video that also better illustrates it. Plus, you'd probably enjoy the movie, you should watch it sometime!

You sure you're not an American who fled the country sometime during the last couple of years? Lol! Just kidding. I remember our conversation about my part Scandinavian ancestry & how we might be long lost cousins. Btw, it's a week from today I'll be seeing Queen in concert. It's almost here & I am so excited! I feel like a kid again!🤩

the reason it seemed removed from their other stuff is it was written for the movie. they watched the movie and wrote the song for the sound track.

That was written as a soundtrack for the movie “Highlander”. Great movie

I know you guys love Roger's drumming. If you want to see a very good example of his ability, watch his Drum and Tympani Solo Live from Rock Montreal, 1981. Keep up the great video's and always look forward to your Queen videos.

Gotta watch Highlander! Gimme the Prize-Kurgan's Theme would be my next choice off that album.

As noted by others, this is for a movie soundtrack, so it goes with the story/action of the movie.

Love your reactions/reviews! Too long in between Queen plays :( Still holding out hope for the Save Me doubleheader (Studio +live in Montreal) 😱

I love the rhythm changes throughout the song

Queen sang this specifically as part of the soundtrack for the film Highlander, so lyrics were directed toward the film. They incorporated Freddie into the film, as a sword fighter - fun!!

Queen was the "King" of movie theme songs....and were on so many soundtracks

Queen "Back Chat" Live 1982 at Milton Keynes

I hear this and see Adrian Paul’s face (my dad and aunt were BIG into the Highlander TV show when I was growing up in the 90s. This song was the intro so I heard it multiple times a week!)

Anything by Queen is OK with me.....just LOVE them!....Hope you do too!

I feel like the disjointed aspect is due to the fact it is a sountrack song, the individual parts perhaps written for use in different larts if the film. The first two or three movements of the song are the most identifiable with both the movie & tv series. Still a good track.

It's better in Highlander...👊👍😎

Good review. If you watched the video, you would have seen the clips from Highlander that were intercut, which would have illustrated the lyrics. The album, A Kind of Magic, is the "soundtrack" to said movie.

This song has everything that made Queen completely unique. Good stuff.

There can be.... ONLY ONE!

Princess of the KZread Universe - You two! Keep it up!! Love from Sweden

Yeah, this song was for a sci-fi movie called Highlander. I think their lyrics were geared towards driving the film. The lyrics truly work within the movie as you watch it

Princes of the Universe is my favourite Queen song. Love the soundtrack to Highlander.

I still highly recommend “It’s Late” (album version cuz it’s amazing)! Gonna keep suggesting it, I have a feeling you’ll love it 😁 a great hard rock song from 1977, written by Brian!

Hey guys looks like there is a consensus for Spread Your Wings. Great song I agree. I think Deaky wrote it. I love it. Another big hit in the US.

A lot of people recommending Spread Your Wings for an upcoming video. I would recommend the song too, but IMHO the killer version is the one contained on the 2 x CD ‘On Air’ album, which contains all the songs the band recorded live at the BBC.

You should watch the music video of 'Princes of the Universe' with a little cameo of Christopher Lambert sword fighting Freddie.

You are listening out of context which is good for the casual listener. If you do not know what it's about then you could almost say it's an almost heavy metal Prog song being about immortals and it's fanciful. This song in context to the film makes absolute sense, the film is joy "Highlander" 80s movies at its best. You have a Scotsman playing a Spaniard. A Frenchman playing a Scotsman ans Mr Crabs is in it.

The lyrics fit better when you watch the movie. The instrumentation really was phenomenal. Everything Brian does is fucking fantastic anyway so no surprise there. Drumming was fantastic as well. When the notification popped I literally dropped everything I was doing and just told everyone around me stfu important shit was happening. LOVE this song.

His "sword and head held high" was about fighting to the death with an actual sword. Princes of the Universe was written for the first Highlander film, and was eventually taken on as the intro to the Highlander TV series. The 'princes' were immortals who took each other's heads for their power. The series starts off in the early days of the gathering, where the immortals became more and more drawn to each other, setting the stage for an eventual fight between the last two immortals, part of an age old prophecy of unknown origin. "In the end, there can be only one. May it be Duncan MacLeod... the Highlander"...

This song is the sound track for Highlander, so the lyric was made to match the mood of the movie. Do yourselves a favor, go watch the movie and then go back and listen to this track, you will understand then. Kudos to Queen

@Andy & Alex Hi guys ! "Long time, no see" as we used to say in England of the 1970's ! Then you come back after what seemed to be ages with a Queen song - which is great, but alas, one of my personally most disliked Queen songs ever. But there was no way you could know that, could you, so I will not hold it against you.....this time ! 😣 (hii..hii 😜). It is difficult to judge this song against other Queen recordings as it belongs to the soundtrack to the excellent 1986 SciFi / Fantasy film "Highlander", but having said that there are some wonderful tracks to the soundtrack like the classic " Who Wants To Live Forever", one of Queen's most hauntingly beautiful ballads ever, and "One Vision", another iconic song of theirs. "Princes" is definitely not one of my favourite Queen songs but it fits in with the context of the film story, which I can highly recommend for viewers who both like the genre and Queen to watch, and the thundering finale during which this song is played. Judging it as a pure Queen song I personally would give "Princes of the Universe" a meager 4 / 10, but putting it into its place in the context of the film's dramatics, an 8 / 10. 😋

@@Motown-1966 Well said ! At the time I thought "What the hell are they doing ? Soundtracks ?

Song was used in an 80s fantasy film in which they provided the soundtrack. Movie was called Highlander and was about an immortal man. So that kind of helped influence the lyrics.

By the way, Andy & Alex - did you notice that this very powerful and guitars orientated song is from 80's? Actually from that "I kind of magic" period. Actually_2 - from the same album as "I kind of magic"! Unbelievable, right? :) This proves once again how amazing and diverse Queen and their music are. This song sounds hard and raw even in these days.

When guitars bells its Alarm!. I love this Song

“Disjointed” is a perfect description, Alex. At this point in their career, it’s like things came a little too easy for them. “You need a movie soundtrack? Here you go!” And they threw a bunch of really cool pieces together that may or may not make a whole.

A&A - Spot on and fair reaction. I didn't have that strong of a reaction, since most of the way through I kept thinking where did I hear this!?

The beginning brings me back to watching episodes of the awesome 'Highlander' TV show.

Princes of the Universe is a movie soundtrack which is why the lyrics, etc., aren't "usual." Watch the promo version...the video for the song.

One of my fave Queen songs. And one I quote a lot. I am immortal I have inside me blood of Kings! Anytime I feel I have done something cool. 😋

Yeah it’s from the 1985 movie, Highlander (released in 1986). Queen made an unofficial soundtrack for the fantasy movie but as Roger Taylor once stated, the band wanted to make a ‘fully fledged Queen album’ instead. So the A Kind Of Magic album is a sort of hybrid soundtrack album, if you like. ‘One Vision’ which is on the same album is actually featured in the film Iron Eagle, which was released in the same year as Highlander.
