Cellar Darling - The Prophet's Song (Queen Cover)

We’ve had some proper laughs making a rehearsal space video for this song!
Thanks to a bit of technology you can, for the very first time, see what we see when we’re “in the zone” (and perhaps not entirely sober). Merlin and Ivo kept zapping in and out of reality, though - presumably to the far reaches of alternate universes, on a quest for inspiration...
We hope this cover version of legendary Queen’s "The Prophet’s Song" is a befitting tribute to the incredible rock music legacy of Britain, and a mighty epic and mysterious tune!

What an amazing song to cover from Queen. So many people take the easy road and cover songs that everyone has heard, but not you...you covered The Prophet's Song! Total respect here!

[@Kimdino1]

IMO. The only reason this song is not well known is because it was on the same album as 'Bohemian Rhapsody' I.e. 'A Night at the Opera'. One album was not big enough for both of them! 😉

[@timothymallon]

@@Kimdino1 Yeah, Bo Rhap definitely took the limelight on that album. It's funny, it's actually one of my least favorite Queen songs. Not that it's a bad song, but its the "oh of course you played THAT song" song

[@mannyruiz1954]

Yep. Prophet Song is the best song from ANATO but nobody ever talks about because of that overplayed song, which I won't mention.

[@thitsugaya1224]

I'm a lifelong fan of Queen, grew up listening to them, and the Prophet's Song is my absolute favorite Queen song of all time, so I want you to understand the full meaning of what I'm saying, you gave me the same cold chills that the original does, absolutely magnificent.

[@mtj_cos]

@Thomas Anderson, hi Thomas meentime you did find out!! If not its called "hurdy gurdy", a medivel Instrument, that anne used since she was playing in her last band... Be healthy in these dark times...

[@mtj_cos]

@Thomas Anderson, if you want to know more about the hurdy gurdy, tune in the YT channel from "Patty Gurdy"... In one of her videos, she explain her hurdy gurdy.... 🤘🖖😉

[@cf80s]

Finally a video for this cover! It's a risk to do a Queen's cover, because only a few can do a good job on that. But you do something incredible in a very hard song. I believe if Freddie was alive he would love this cover! Congrats!

[@yourguitarist]

it's not a "cover" ... its a remake. They have reinvented the song in their own style... that is remaking... "covering" is what Casino acts do play other people's songs note for note. This is awesome... VERY ORIGINAL!

[@lulunneitham3760]

Lou Lombardi very original ???

[@cf80s]

The band said it's a cover (read the title and see their Facebook Page).

[@archer1949]

Thomas Anderson It’s called a Hurdy Gurdy.

[@gabrielkodokankarate]

Es un brillante Cover con impronta propia!

[@ineedtimetoskate]

Awesome cover. I almost died of laughter with Ivo's "La La La La La" moment at 4:59.

[@luizleoLS]

This part... LMAO

[@SamDeeksRelovedGuitars]

What a bloody fantastic cover done with deep respect PLUS originality to create something new and possibly even better than the original.

[@MetalSon79]

Difficult to cover. But Cellar Darling did it well ! Absolutely perfect.

[@inteligentidiot7233]

The vocalizations at 4:19 is borderline hypnotic and exactly what I was hoping I'd find in a cover of this amazing song.

[@teodoravescan]

Her laughter is so adorable ! And the cover is amazing !

[@donlupejkis3121]

Dude.... are you serious? I'm a HUGE Queen fan for years. I've been a premier vocalist and musician for years as well. Are you kidding me? I'm blown away. Even the changes you made in the spirit of the song. I'm wow'd.

[@streetfood7568]

This was very well done. I love how you didn’t try to copy it as close as you could, which is how a lot of queen covers are (which makes sense because everything queen does is perfect). You added your own styles to it to make it worth listening to instead of just listening to the original.

[@tieukhavu8832]

Freddie would be proud. Ich bin auch sehr proud.

[@FunkyDisco79]

I think Brian is proud too as he wrote this song.

[@tonrock612]

This is really amazing, my favorite Queen song ever and finally someone cover it as it deserves to be. Freddie must yelling OH YEAH. Just perfect.

[@KNOTStudios]

One of the best Queen's cover i've ever seen/heard. Congrats guys!

[@lecoqlico]

4:53 this is maybe one of the most beautiful moment I have ever heard. I love it. thanks!

[@cmcclellan9721]

I think I went to the "outer realm" 4:00 into the video. OUTSTANDING rendition of the song, and I'm sure Freddie up above and the rest of the boys would be pleased. I also like the way your back ground "colors" blend in. You know, "BLACK & LOUD". (I remember the interview about favorite color)

[@fabricioassismg5622]

My favorite Queen song ever! Wonderful performance, guys! Congratulations!

[@BrekiantTheBerserker]

Heard the cover live in Zurich last year. It was amazing and finaly i can hear it again

[@playedplains6177]

I loved the ending with you guys just laughing and having fun

[@patrickswesey4670]

This brought me back 20 years to the first time I heard this song, it also brought a tear to my eye. Just beautiful.

[@Serch_YB27]

I think Ivo accurately represented how we everyone felt during that voice medley at 4:58 lol You guys rock!! Can't wait for your new album! lml

[@g43s]

this song needed a metal cover 🔥🔥🔥

[@IronRAVENxvx]

Alright I'll have to admit her beautiful laugh at the end got me good. Never was that familiar with Queen but I like this cover regardless. Cheers!

[@jacobolson6885]

Absolutely brilliant! I can't stop listening to this cover

[@Rhythm1293]

Listen to Orinic's version. It is also good.

[@Thebuilderofthings1]

I feel The Prophet's Song was May's counterpart to Mercury's Bohemian Rhapsody. Two powerful songs, three parts each that flew into a monstrous, climatic fit of bombastic metal overtures. Not many can cover with an effective aura that drives these two songs. You guys just gave this song the taste of a metal spoon of monolithic proportions.

[@charles8179]

this is an awesome cover of one of Queen's most underestimated song and of their hardest

[@ComicalEquation]

I didn't know I needed this cover before I heard this. Amazing.

[@SCESG400]

I really hope to meet Anna Murphy, Ivo Henzi and Merlin Stutter someday. Thank you for igniting my love and passion for music! You guys rock! lml

[@silasbraun]

Just go to a Gig. ^^

[@karinmoore3112]

AURORA love your name girl, I am Karin. It means light in German and Arabic equivalent is Nur or Islam Nurah

[@SCESG400]

karin Moore I’m a guy lol. But interesting to know the meaning of your name. I like the look of the night sky with the glowing aurora’s so that’s how I came up with the name to go by :)

[@GiuseppeMiragliotta95]

Just go to a show, they are very friendly

[@oceansoftime3763]

Impressionante onde essa mulher coloca voz, o negócio vira ouro!!! Great cover !!!

[@streetfood7568]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the editing? It has such a cool effect.

[@AndyMcH]

Until I heard this, I'd never ever heard a good Queen cover before. Phenomenal!

[@Sifu_Wong]

The most underrated Queen song

[@eduardosalas4794]

Fantastic cover of this very underrated and complex Queen song! Not an easy task, great job!

[@alexnekrasov697]

Many thanks for the GREAT cover! It sounds very modern, but still keeping Queen's mystical energy!!! One of the most difficult and probably my most favorite song ever got a new life! I've just born again)))) Special thanks to Merlin!!!))

[@WardenOfSouls]

Can you believe how happy it makes me seing songs like this come up from them after i caught Merlins Drum Stick at a festival and had a talk to all of them? They are amazing, super nice, awesome musicians :)

[@JohnnyDJenkins]

who's still listening during the 2020 pandemic. The vocal layering is so magnificent and never gets old!

[@wajahathasib25]

Apart from the fact that this cover is absolutely phenomenal, I just have to say that Anna is absolutely gorgeous! Have such a huge crush on her.

[@lorslara6524]

ur not the only one :)

[@toivotooming1243]

"So say we all!" :D

[@BeLikeGumby]

So you're saying I'm not the only one? I thought I was alone in this.

[@jsimsgt96]

Drake Parker yes!

[@helioken2053]

She became my crush . . . I mean I became her fan since 2010. Anyone earlier than me? :D

[@raphaelbovey5676]

Such a talented band. This cover is mindblowing.

[@skullmony2958]

One of the best queen covers I've ever heard💜

[@SomethingWellesian]

Just found this because I was curious if anyone had the guts to do a cover of this track, and I was not disappointed. First time hearing this band, and it won’t be the last. Love the hurdy-gurdy opening, the muddy metal guitar, and great display of vocal chops on the acapella section-both for imitating Mercury’s melodies, but also for the very natural deviation from it in the second half.

[@JoniSimpsonphotographer]

Beautiful cover of this amazing Queen song! What makes it even more special (for me) is that you add your own self into it and make it something new and unique to you! ThaT is artistry, whether you wrote the original or not! Bravo! And Thank you for sharing 😊

[@stevefromlondon4949]

Superb cover and just amazing when they play it live.

[@EmanueleCorsi]

It's just so good that an awesome song like Prophet's has being chosen for a cover by such a young band. Always found it was a shame for it to be so underrated in Queen's discography. You guys did it so well, close to the original but with some good new addition. Great job indeed.

[@skorn8112]

Anna you must be part angel, because your voice is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in my life

[@metalfan9000]

As it was yelled after this one in the show in Helsinki, Anna Mercury!

[@redirasslow8505]

Anna the best female voice, love her so much

[@Chico50445]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I hope to see more covers from you.

[@bobbynadeau664]

This is an amazing display of her vocal range!!

[@LeandrodeMelloBarbosa]

Yeahhhh Queen cover my God I love queen.... Oh great cover... Love the way you sing

[@la6656]

The ending cracks me up every time!! So funny! You guys are amazing.

[@kristoflajber8236]

First when they "left" eluveite i was sad, becouse eluveite is not that good since, but after all i am happy becouse they are even better now. I can see they enjoy makeing music.

[@micahaalders9840]

Eating your words after Ategnatos?

[@NoSlow78]

No more dictatorial rule over their musical explorations... Eluveitie is ran much like Nightwish... 1 main Dictator.. willing to take a few suggestions... A know-it-all with a "vision" that can't be critiqued.

[@garymartin6802]

A thumbs up score of 333-0 tells you all you need to know. Outstanding cover version. Bravo!

[@epdOctarina]

Awesome! Didn't expect a video for this one! It would be just beautiful to see one for Mad World as well. You have this peculiarity very, very few bands have of nailing every single cover in such a fantastic way. This truly does justice to Queen. Cheers!

[@BobBruhin]

ALWAYS loved this song. Now I'm also in love with this cover.

[@johnmulhearn1479]

Absolutely loved this cover song,plus the video was the icing on the cake, annas laugh at the end cracks me up every time . Gotta see these live when they tour uk

[@AzrielJuste]

You come for the Queen, you best not miss. This is a palpable hit. Excellent cover.

[@BBZak2049]

Excellent cover, and my favorite Queen song. Well done!

[@denisdussarps5697]

One of the best cover of this song i've ever heard. Great job!

[@dashingtherouxthesnow4017]

Saw you guys perform this last night in Sheffield and I was lucky enough to be front row - absolutely amazing cover. Love, a diehard Queen and Cellar Darling fan

[@chadbennett7873]

Maybe one of the most brilliant songs ever written, constructed by perhaps the most creative bands to ever play a note. The unclimbable mountain to cover. Only fools would make the attempt. But only fools achieve the pinnacle of reaching the top, because only they can see the possibilities. I will follow fools like that. A seriously wonderful take on brilliance, adding your own flavor to something so perfect that it could not possibly be improved ... Oh thou fool, am I! When I thought I could not love or appreciate this song more ... here you go, a view from a different peak. So well done, so innovative and fresh ... and so foolish to attempt. Please tell me ... what's the view like from the pinnacle of genius?

[@abdyeljaramillo3383]

Anna Murphy has the sweetest voice ever.

[@luisale0098]

Love this cover

[@kelticach4999]

Very nicely done, congratulation.

[@mmzmemnoch1261]

I freaking love this! We need a 2018 NYC show announcement now!!!

[@felipevenancio]

Beautiful

[@stevengadzinski2802]

Cellar Darling should be an opener for Sabaton at Woodstock someday.

[@IzayoiMeiHigu]

Oh, oh, people of the earth Listen to the warning The seer he said Beware the storm that gathers here Listen to the wise man. I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair Spreading his hands on the multitude there A man who cried for a love gone stale And ice cold hearts of charity bare. I watched as fear took the old men's gaze Hopes of the young in troubled graves "I see no day," I heard him say So grey is the face of every mortal. Oh, oh people of the earth Listen to the warning The prophet he said For soon the cold of night will fall Summoned by your own hand. Oh, oh children of the land Quicken to the new life Take my hand Fly and find the new green bough Return like the white dove. He told of death as a bone white haze Taking the lost and the unloved babe Late too late all the wretches run These kings of beasts now counting their days. From mother's love is the son estranged Married his own his precious gain The earth will shake in two will break And death all around will be your dowry Oh, oh people of the earth Listen to the warning the seer he said For those who hear and mark my words Listen to the good plan Oh, oh, oh, oh and two by two my human zoo They'll be running for to come Running for to come out of the rain Oh flee for your life Who heed me not let all your treasure make you Oh fear for your life Deceive you not the fires of hell will take you Should death await you Ah people can you hear me? And now I know and now I know And now I know and now I know That you can hear me And now I know and now I know And now I know now I know Now I know now I know Now I know now I know Now I know The earth will shake in two will break Death all around around around around Around around around around Now I know now I know Now I know now I know Now I know now I know Now I know now I know Now I know now I know Now I know Wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo Listen to the wise listen to the wise listen to the wise Listen to the wise listen to the wise man La la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la La la La la Come here (I - You) Come here (I - You) Come here (I - You) Come here (I - You) Ah ah ah ah ah Listen to the man listen to the man listen to the man listen to the mad man God gave you grace to purge this place And peace all around may be your fortune Oh, oh children of the land Love is still the answer take my hand The vision fades a voice I hear Listen to the madman! But still I fear and still I dare not Laugh at the madman!

[@davidkoblentz]

after seeing this live I am just crushed by this !
