Queen co-founder Brian May unveiled the music video for their song “Another World” yesterday.

The song, which stems from May’s 1998 studio album of the same name, was originally written for the film Sliding Doors, but the song wasn’t used in the final product. The accompanying music video was filmed in the Canary Islands, which is where May studied as a youth.

The musician said this about their time in Izaña:

“I was a kid coming out here and I had no experience, no confidence, and I was up here on my own in a hut. None of these telescopes were here [and you went] for weeks on end without any phones. There were no mobile phones in those days and I couldn't afford to phone home, [so] my only contact with my folks at home was via air air mail letters, which I would have to drive down to Santa Cruz to send. So it’s been very emotional to revisit this place. It really IS Another World."

Another World was recently re-released with a slew of bonus content, including live tracks and rarities. May said this about the new re-release, which is out right now:

“This whole journey back into rereleasing this album has been a big thing for me, and it’s made me understand my history and what is inside me a lot better. I also feel that my portrayal of emotional turmoil and the search for light on this record can be very relevant to a whole new generation. So I’m happy to present it now."
