The story behind the song

This ballad, featured on Queen's 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack, was penned by lead singer Freddie Mercury, who also plays piano and provides all the vocals. Its lyrics contain a direct reference to "Seven Seas of Rhye," a song from an earlier Queen album, mentioning a messenger who has flown to tell the King of Rhye he's lost. This lyrical callback creates a sense of continuity within Queen's musical world. At its heart, the song feels like a poignant message delivered from a fantastical realm.
