Queen - A Kind of Magic - Original Movie Version (Highlander)
Музыка
I've always greatly preferred the version of "A Kind of Magic" used in the end credits of the movie to the version most people know that was released as a single. As the video for the single had no visual references to Highlander, I recut it with scenes from the movie over the top of the movie version of the song. Hope you enjoy it.

Highlander in my opinion is one of the best films ever made, Queen in my opinion IS the greatest band ever. It truly was a match made in heaven :)

@@jonhouse426 actually Freddie was a college of the director and the band was asked about making main theme for the movie but after Freddie saw the whole script, he like it so much that Queen decided to make whole soundtrack. IMHO it was great, the movies was amazing and so was the soundtrack for it. One thing that I'm still pissed on to this day is a fact that Queen version of "New York, New York!" was never properly released.
This version is fantastic,,,although both of them are real masterpieces. We will always remember you Freddie!

I love this version so much. Listen to this song constantly everyday. Its really been getting me through hard times.
The greatest rock soundtrack of all time!
This was the original version of the song. Freddie reworked it ito a pop song when Roger was on holiday. On reflection he should have left it as it was. Lyric wise. It was pure magic.

foi uma magnífica ousadia do diretor desse filme colocar a trilha sonora do Queen que acabou sendo um sucesso tanto o filme quanto a canção. Isso que foi parceria top!
80's movies always came with an awesome theme song
Greatest band FOREVER !!!!!!!!
Whoever decided to go with Queen to compose the Highlander soundtrack made an excellent decision!
RIP Sean & Freddie.
While I look both versions, there's something about this version that's kind of cooler. Maybe it has something to do with the muffled voices at the beginning and overall smoother sound but either way, they definitely don't write lyrics like this anymore!

Freddie mercury - a Genius, a Person-to-space. such people are born once in 1000 years! surprisingly, I was never a fan of Freddy, his songs, His works, His creativity, of course, out of competition and I listened to and admired him as many. but just not long ago on KZread accidentally got on His videos including videos, cutting the last years of His life. I was so absorbed and impressed that I started looking for articles, information, publications about mercury. didn't expect that all this on me will produce such a deep impression. incredibly, many years have passed as no genius Artist Freddie, BUT still the magic of His and His fantastic power act even through the screen!! Freddie and His work will live on forever in the hearts and souls of the people! low bow to You, Freddie mercury!

woooudo... Freddie was raised with the notion that if you're gay, then you're a demon from hell. So if he was resound to facing who and what he was (as far as his parents' Zoroastrian faith goes), then he already knew he was doomed so him "selling his soul" is ridiculous. As far as he was concerned, he was already damn to hell. AND if by some miracle he'd repented right before taking his last breath, then he would be with the one who created us all. YOU just take care as not to judge others OR you'd might suffer that same judgement from the creator.
good choice. It's an excellent film and good music to fall in love to. xx
this could be an official Queen video, you did great! I love it!

Agree this version is so much better than the single which was too poppy. the best version was the live one on Live Magic and Live at Wembley where it totally rocked with BM's guitar up front.
