[@christopherschott441]

Congratulations and I can imagine how touched they are hearing your brilliant iteration and celebration of the music that is Iron Maiden. No better honor . Beautiful artisty and pure emotion and spirit.

[@Danyel76]

I'm a die hard Maiden fan and this song almost moves me to tears, also because ten years ago I lost my father and every time I listen to it I remember him. A true masterpiece, thanks for this version, it really touches the heart.

[@DavidM6667]

I'm sorry for your lost friend. This song was the one that I going to dance at my wedding with the only woman that I loved and who is no longer with me anymore and I don't know anything about her. This song takes me to that time. This beautifull version makes me feel nostalgic. Greetings from Chile.

[@reecewarner8306]

Yeah same here man this is outstanding

[@ByronFox21]

Also i lost my brother 8 years ago. This Song makes me never forget...

[@mikeyd5417]

UP THE IRONS! I feel somewhat of your pain brother, I have felt similar pain. My thoughts are with you

[@StasBespalov-g8m]

I can say thousands words, for this song helped me to get my daughter. 2007, June My wife brought me my daughter on 06.06.07. When I heard a phone call from medical, that my daughter was born, I was listening this great song. My tears, forever

[@ThomasZwijsen]

[@ricknesar1627]

First of all, Steve Harris is THE songwriter of all times and Maiden is THE band. Hearing the best songs ever written this way makes you realize even more how fxxxxxg awsome they are!

[@alejandrojorge5872]

I've listen this song a thousand times, and every time can't help thinking "What a masterpiece".

[@BodaciousWickerman]

One of the best Maiden songs and albums.

[@ThomasZwijsen]

From the Blaze years I did The Clansman, it's on my album with Blaze himself on vocals as a special guest. From the Paul years I'm currently working on Phantom Of The Opera!

[@onevastanus]

Fucking epic!

[@andreyt6991]

Blaze was, are and will be.

[@fausto8280]

I'd like to listen the evil that men do..

[@vaughnblaylock6069]

I'm so glad and feel so blessed to have grown up in this era of music, and to see what people like Zwijsen are doing with it today. So utterly inspiring.

[@0115Heather]

Thank you for helping me introduce my 97 year old grandmother to Iron Maiden! I am not being sarcastic I mean it she loved that version of the song and so did I. She did not believe that it was Maiden until I played the original for her. She likes yours better. 👏😀

[@gunnypfitness]

One of the most beautiful songs ever composed

[@vivek_3_ghosh]

This is surreal... You sir are Amazing...

[@gabrieltroiano1430]

Thomas, I can´t begin to tell you how emotional I became when I saw your video. Iron Maiden has been a huge part of my life since I was a little kid and you playing this song made me cry and remind me of my young days. Thank you!!

[@Alanbelga100]

excelente melodia e arranjo, dos melhores covers que escutei, parabens.

[@kaiweitze5899]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@RohanBhammar]

As much as this is arguably the most beautiful rendition of this song, you can't help but LOVE the way his cat tries to jump at something on the wall @ 3:59🤣

[@diegarulez]

listening to this beautiful version you understand the level of composition that maiden musicians have. Thank you!!

[@nunes1907]

I can't stop asking myself why someone would downvote this guy... He's great!

[@stickmargarett4545]

The most beautiful music in the world. This is unbelievably amazing.

Amazing arrangement of an amazing song by an amazing guitar player (you, Thomas..).. thank you for sharing your art.. ciao

[@FREEPALESTINE492]

Just as this version has no words, such as there are no words to describe the beauty of this. This is just... wow. Beautiful. Well done sir, well done.

[@Leponzio17]

6:33 what a nice sound of strings $-$, simply amazing (:

[@warden835]

Probably the most inspired instrumental cover of a song that I have heard.

[@joaocarlosandrezukamoura2516]

And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life What do you think you'd expect you would see? Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life And in the river reflections of me … Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see And in a movement he beckons to me And in a moment the memories are all that remain And all the wounds are reopening again … We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers … And as you look all around at the world in dismay What do you see, do you think we have learned Not if you're taking a look at the war-torn affray Out in the streets where the babies are burned … We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers … There are times when I feel I'm afraid for the world There are times I'm ashamed of us all When you're floating on all the emotion you feel And reflecting the good and the bad … Will we ever know what the answer to life really is? Can you really tell me what life is? Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you Could be swept away by fate's own hand … We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers … When you think that we've used all our chances And the chance to make everything right Keep on making the same old mistakes Makes untipping the balance so easy When we're living our lives on the edge Say a prayer on the book of the dead … We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers … And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life

[@lezpapto]

I don´t know how can you play to this way! is amazing! excellent!!!

[@lucasmendes1702]

fantastic sound, but out, what caught my attention is also the cat in the video background playing with the reflection of light

[@joncole462]

Absolutely incredible. I shake my head in amazement

[@TheGatoly]

I find this the most accomplished among all Nylon Maiden songs....

[@BodaciousWickerman]

Anatoly Krast The nylon guitar sound just suits this song so well.

[@TheGatoly]

Correct and Rainmaker as well. All credits to Thomas and Maiden of course! Really good works.

[@BodaciousWickerman]

Anatoly Krast For sure. Rainmaker was the first Maiden song by Thomas I heard. Amazing stuff.

[@pabloleonpsico]

I can hear this song looping over and over again, great!

[@marendur]

Me faz lembrar de quando eu era jovem e meu pai ainda estava vivo. Hoje já sou um homem, e ele se foi. Somos irmãos de sangue. It reminds me when I was young and my father was alive. Now I'm already a man, and he is gone. We're blood brothers.

[@valberm]

Nesse caso vocês são pai e filho mesmo.

When you think this music cannot become more epic. Although Bruce's vocals would be a great add. Congrats Maestro

Wow. Love all the versions of your acoustic Maiden songs, but this is my favorite. Its amazing how, when played in a different style, it really reflects just how awesome the song writing is by everyone in Iron Maiden. Your musicianship only enhances thier abilities and takes it to all new level. Bravo! Up the acoustic irons!
