Quote related to 'The Prophet’s Song' from 'A Night At The Opera'

That was the other epic, I suppose, on that album. Again, something which had been around for a long time and sort of nearly went on the previous album. I think, very often, it's good for a song to develop over a long period, because generally the way we work is one person would write and then you throw it at to the band and if you don't record it for a few months after that then it has time to mature a bit and you perhaps catch it at its best point. I think that happened with The Prophet's Song.

Brian May; Australian radio, 1977
