The Clairvoyant was Iron Maidens third single from their Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album. The single debuted at number six in the UK charts. The B-side contains a live performances from Maiden’s 1988 headlining performance at the Monsters of Rock festival in Donington Park. The song, Clairvoyant, starts in the first person, from the main character’s point of view. Later, it’s in the third person, after he’s dead. According to Steve Harris, the song was inspired by the death of psychic Doris Stokes, and his wondering that if she were truly able to see the future, wouldn’t she have been able to foresee her own death?
