Trivia
"The Prophet's Song" was composed by Brian May. On the show In the Studio with Redbeard, which spotlighted A Night at the Opera, May explained that he wrote the song after a dream he'd had while he was recovering from falling seriously ill while recording Queen's 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack and is the source of some of the lyrics. He spent several days putting it together, and it includes a vocal canon sung first by Freddie Mercury, then by Mercury, Roger Taylor and May. The vocal, and later instrumental canon was produced by early tape delay devices.
