RT caught up with legendary Queen guitarist Brian May, who also happens to be an astrophysicist, after a symposium of astronomers in the Canary Islands to talk about links between music and science, God, the universe and the mystery of death. May says being both a musician and a scientist gives him an interesting observation point to view both. "I love pure science and I love pure music. They are not the same for sure, but certainly throughout the centuries there have been people, who were immersed in both of them, from Leonardo da Vinci to Patrick Moore. Maybe it's an abstraction thing, maybe people who like those things, don't like the clutter of the world we live in. They just like to find the essence of life," he told RT. As a man of art, May has insights into life, which he has to put under question as a man of science, he says. "If you say 'there is no God,' where is evidence there is no God? You can say 'I don't know.' Being an agnostic to me is a scientific point of view, which is supportable. In my experience, I felt at times that there is a God of some kind. I don't subscribe to any organized religion -- that's a different matter. But if there is a God, we have very little idea of what that God may be. That's inherent in what we are," he said.

There's a pain in my brain Confusion in my heart My blood's fit for bursting my body apart I'm gonna ride - ride the night into the morning sun Yeah I'm gonna make my resurrection No more of this crap Got a whole new direction Ain't no turning back Resurrection is a-gonna come My spirit is weeping For freedom it cries Been scraping my living In the valley of lies Gonna ride the night into the morning sun Yeah I'm a victim of a victim Of a conspiracy From a corpum derelictum Gonna fly and be free Resurrection is a-gonna come - yeah Clear the vision Heal the system Sins forgiven Rise Flee the prison Break the system Sins forgiven Rise Ride the night Yes I know I'm still alive Gotta ride the night - yeah I'm gonna ride Rise again in the morning light There's no sense in my counting The price of those years There's too many heartaches And too many tears Ride the night into the morning sun Yes I thought I was dreaming But the east is ablaze With the promise of the future Those Heavenly days Ride the night into the morning sun Ride the night into the morning sun Cos the resurrection is a-gonna come.

Legendary guitarist Brian May recently helped launch the new book "40 Years of Queen" a retrospective look at one of the UK's biggest ever bands. Brian invited our Jamie to see some of the memorabilia (including The Red Special) which features in the book, and chat about their amazing career.

Brian May appeared on BBC One's The One Show with presenters, Matt Baker and Alex Jones, Friday, 30 Sept 2011, to introduce a short film, presening both sides of the Badger cull argument, and attempting to find a middle ground and persuade currently opposing sides to be prepared to get around a table and thrash out a real solution. Brian feels very strongly that killing badgers is not the answer to this problem, which is costing the British tax payer thousands of pounds in compenstion, as well as the futile slaughtering of both cattle and badgers.

Dream Of Thee by Brian May. Released as a bonus track on the 'Furia' soundtrack in 2000. Lyrics: The sun too soon lost his light And on my shoulder I look for thee But clouds that gathered in the night Have taken thee from me And how shall I live through the shadows And how shall I sleep in the night Until out hearts set us free I must not dream of thee Be strong my love while we're apart And know the love that I keep for thee Is safe and secret in my heart Lest thou shouldst dream of me When lovers forget to blow kisses And children no longer can dream And lifeless the waters and silent the streams And the stars lose their silvery gleam Why then my lost love we'll see I shall not dream of thee When freedom is only a memory And laughter is way out of style And time now can spare on the face of the fair Mona Lisa, no trace of a smile Why then be sure love that I'll No longer dream of thee Shall I not dream of thee ------------------------------------ "Freddie Mercury" "Roger Taylor" "Brian May" "John Deacon" "Bohemian Rhapsody" "Don't Stop Me Now" "I Want It All" "Somebody To Love" "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" "We Will Rock You" "We Are The Champions" "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" "Fat Bottomed Girls" "Bicycle Race" "Play The Game" "A Kind Of Magic" "Innuendo" "Another One Bites The Dust" "Killer Queen" "You're My Best Friend" "Breakthru" "Body Language" "Under Pressure" "Who Wants To Live Forever" "Wembley" "I'm Going Slightly Mad" "Breakthru" "Barcelona" "Scandal <b>...</b>
