Songfacts – Seven Seas of Rhye:
Freddie Mercury penned Seven Seas of Rhye, basing it on a fantasy world called Rhye that he had created with his sister, Kashmira. They were brought up on the African island of Zanzibar in the Zoroastrianism religion, founded in Iran, and these fuelled Mercury’s flights of fancy. Several other of the Queen singer’s early songs feature the mysterious land of Rhye, including Lily Of The Valley, My Fairy King and The March Of The Black Queen.
