Iron Maiden - Caught Somewhere In Time

[@nornog]

Another Song I have been thinking about, Still Life.

[@nicholasthornley9708]

In that case Vin and Sori may as well review the whole fuckin' album. You are definitely out on the sea of madness.

[@GordonHeaney]

Studio version!

[@LionMetalMusic-videochannel]

100% one of the best !

[@goranilincic2363]

The best one. 🤘🤘

[@thetrooper1691]

This is one of the best Maiden songs but its seriously underrated They should play more songs of this album, its a masterpiece

[@krazyhand1653]

Agreed, Somewhere in Time is really an album that no song is below a 8/10

[@ryant3600]

This and Alexander the Great for me are the two best on this album. Just epic

[@zeimeris]

You think its underrated because its one of the best only for you and a few others... no deeper meaning in lyrics, i find the music a little bit boring as well. Just an average song. Alexander the great way better.

[@3du76]

My two favorite songs from them

[@Beggar42]

The song is based on a novel. It's about a kid who has been mistreated by authorities his entire life. He ends up in juvie hall where the governor also mistreats the kids in his care. The protagonist of the story/song gets favorable treatment because he's good at long distance running and the governor sees this as a road to rehabilitation. He trains like a madman since during training, people leave him alone. A race is set up between runners from the juvie hall and those from local schools where the governor intends to prove his theory of rehabilitation. The protagonist is yards away from winning the race with a huge lead. But he stops and stares at the governor, letting other runners pass him. It's the only way he has to get back at the authority figures who have mistreated him for so long.

[@hunterknight94]

Iron Maiden - Revelations!

[@srbaran]

I think they'd love that one!

[@alvaropita3487]

Iron Maiden- 'Revelations', 'The Trooper', '2 Minutes to Midnight', 'Infinite Dreams', 'Be Quick or Be Dead', "Judas Be my Guide', 'Brave New World', 'Blood Brothers', 'The Thin Line Between Love & Hate', 'These Colours Don't Run', 'Brighter than a Thousand Suns', 'For the Greater Good of God'...

[@andreaspedersen3952]

Technically Somewhere in time is superb! My fave maiden album

[@lopolik]

My favorite Maiden album too.

[@alansevern290]

andreas pedersen superb album, almost futuristic in sound but my favourite Iron Maiden album has got to be Powerslave and the subsequent World Slavery Tour of 1984/5 that lasted almost an entire year, totally epic and immense! Up The Irons 🤘🏼

[@goranilincic2363]

For sure.

[@slayer7694]

My favorite solos are on this album

[@chaoticoldbore]

The opening riff is one of the ones that fully hooked me on Maiden.

[@BeatlesCineYOtrosTemas]

One of the most underrated songs of Iron Maiden, along with the entire album "Somewhere in Time". Greetings from México.

[@tunoentiendes]

An Iron Maiden different template (with very rich lyrics): INFINITE DREAMS(studio version)

[@stromghouls]

somwhere in time is maiden at the top of their game. the drumming is insane on this album.

[@tomwisniewski8988]

Nicko's drumming is always top notch. Creative and always on top of the beat.

Iron Maiden - Phanton of the opera

[@sergiodavila5269]

Badass reaction. Love that y’all are doing stuff from Somewhere in Time. It was an epic album when it came out....I wore out that album then & I still jam to it when I’m grading papers & stuff 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@fhermeneses7999]

Recommend that listen to"" where eagles dare" "to iron maiden

[@konjskinil]

I love your reactions. Keep on the good stuff. Up the Irons, my favorite band of all times.💜💥

[@jinzoslegions]

This song has one of the greatest intros in not only Maiden's catalog, but in metal to me.

[@ernieherrera4046]

Congratulations on your new arrival guys! May God bless you all! I will pray for a healthy delivery! This song is loosely based off of the book of the same name! This is a great running song! They can write about anything! World record holder in the marathon Paula Radcliffe, is a fan of this song! I love Maiden, I love running, I love this song!!!!

[@anthonyowusu1319]

Love the reactions. My kid is 14 and when she was around 8 yrs old she always wanted to hear " Can I Play With Madness" in the car. Still her favorite song. Congrats on the baby.

[@megaherd619]

And you guys have really need to check out some tracks from their first two albums with Paul Dianno singing. Their early stuff had a raw, almost punk feel to it. Prowler, Remember Tomorrow. Phantom of the Opera, Sanctuary, Wrathchild, Murders in the Rue Morgue, Innocent Exile, Killers, Twilight Zone, Purgatory, and Drifter are all great tracks from that era.

[@anthonyowusu1319]

Love Twilight Zone

[@stevesavage8790]

Infinite Dreams is an Iron Maiden must to listen to. An absolute classic. Congrats for the new addition on the way. Cheers from New Zealand.

[@GloriaaCristo2011]

Great song mate... this one is based on a novel by Alan Sillitoe.. then it became a film... fantastic lyrics and musically is amazing. Please react to Dance of Death... that song will keep you stuck the the video... great song. Also react to the wickerman live in rock in Rio along with the intro.. that will give you goosebumps.

[@DZatheus]

It has to be the En Vivo version tho.

[@olubcs44]

Great song, thank you guys. Don't worry, we can always wait for another Iron Maiden review, this was great.

[@Tuinlaaf]

Great song from a great band.

[@matthewmarrett263]

Yes thank you so much vin&soir and my birthday was yesterday.

[@Surfer-iv4qs]

He is lonely on a long track with his pain and thoughts. At one point it is determined to win, and in the other it is thinking to give up. And music rhythm and melody talks about each of these phases.

[@K0RPENS]

The cover art for this album is just fantastic. Multiple references to their previous songs, there's even Batman in there!

[@southernson3566]

..and on the inside sleeve of the vinyl they're sitting on the flying car from Bladerunner!

[@davidward2651]

I spent way too much time studying their album art when I was a kid, this one especially.

[@rotov80]

I've just bought it again on vinyl. I used to watch the sleeve while listening to the record, my mother gave away all my lp's when I move out. Now I don't have that same feeling I had as a kid but somehow, having the big sleeve again makes me remember those days discovering Maiden when I was 10.

[@screamingscarecrow4251]

@@rotov80 Good old days. Staring at the album covers while listening to the music. Today's youth just don't realize how much they missed out on.

Finally, this is my Favoriten Maiden Album and one of my Favorite Maiden Songs!! Thank you!

[@ivangushkov3651]

One of the best songs for roadwork. I also don´t get into a runner´s high, unless I am on the treadmill and then I can get into insane flows where I sustain 190 bpm for 40 mins and I have to stop myself cause that shit can be dangerous. Body is completely wrecked afterwards, but the shower is pure bliss.

there's a distinct difference between loneliness and being alone.

Can't go wrong with Maiden. Would still like to see you react to their songs, "Revelations" and "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg"

[@Armando_Midean]

it makes all the sense in the world for the two of you reacting to 'Revelations'

[@onsesejoo2605]

The title comes from a book of the same name, also a 1962 film. They deal with the changes in the British class conscious society in the 50's early 60's through the main character and his talent in sports that also gives him the chance to break through barriers.

[@AFx3144]

I get a kick out of running listening to this track. It is awesome and really motivating. And on the chorus part...sing along. LOL.

Amazing song from a not of this world band. T y for the reaction. Greetings from Portugal!

[@catmanduu66]

This came out in that weird period where a bunch of metal bands experimented with guitar synthesizers. The other big one was Judas Priest's Turbo. Both bands came their closest to being seen as hair metal bands as they both went with long coats in concert and puffy hair. They looked a lot different than they ever have before or since.

[@MacTaipan]

Great song, great album. They had such a good taste for beautiful melodies back then.

[@adamhendrickson512]

Run on and on.... Run on and on.... The loneliness of the Long Distance Runner is a metaphor. The song talks about running for your dreams. Keep running till you drop, meaning you never quit until you're dead. And in the end, when you're at the top of the mountain, you are at the top alone because there will be no more room at the top for anyone else...

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner is a story about a young lad who is caught steeling as he is from the poorer side of town (Nottingham City, and actually my own local city as I live in good old Robin Hood's country 👍🏼) and is sent to borstal and put to run against the school's rival in a long distance running competition. He feels like "throwing the race" because why should he win for the institution who keeps him from his freedom? Great book and movie of the same name.
