That is a masterpiece created by Mr Adrian Smith.... all their songs are very deep with logic. Please react to Dance of death.... you will love that song... its lyrics keeps you without blinking.

[@adameves5970]

There's more to music than lyrics, lol. Pretty much all of music is relevant in the absence of lyrics. Lyrics are just the sesame seeds on your bagel, a way to label your song. It's the vocals you should be acknowledging, not the lyrics. Remember, vocal does not mean verbal.

This is the band I grew up with as a teenager, among others, but it was Iron Maiden that was my favourite. Many night's I'd be doing my homework from school listening to them at the same time. It made doing homework a lot better! And this was always one of my favourite songs as well. Another song on the same album I always loved was 'Stranger in a Strange Land'. Give that song a go...please! Or 'Blood Brothers' from the 'Brave New World' album which was the first album they done when Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith rejoined the band. Blood Brothers really is a 'stadium feel' song, which you seemed to like. I first heard it in a stadium and when you have 12000 people singing along with the lyrics, you've really become part of something greater than yourself. Pure magic!

[@onsesejoo2605]

Written by the guitarist Adrian Smith, the one who sings backing on this. The tour they did for Powerslave was around 200+ gigs all over the world. They took six months off after that and perhaps this song reflects the feelings that might have been on the tour. The video collage throughout their career adds on it.

[@JayTor2112]

This one was actually inspired by being on endless tours, away from home.

Thank you!

[@tracylewis2765]

I’m glad you finally got to this one. Iron Maiden has so many songs that are extremely deep. Seldom do they just write BS lyrics. Being 50+ now, and listening to them since the early 80’s, this song definitely holds true. It definitely stands the test of time.

[@louielouie22]

FLIGHT OF ICARUS! Yo pres, it's a mythological story of a father and son escaping imprisonment. The father was an inventor and he put together wings so him and his son can fly away but the father warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun or it will melt the bees wax on the wings and he didn't listen. Great song!!!!

[@jenmartinez1031]

One of the most greatest awesomeness songs Iron Maiden has ever released! Blew my mind away way back in 1986 when it was released!

Or I'm living through them now or perhaps I'm going towards my golden years as I'm getting older lol...

You know what is great about watching you watching Iron Maiden videos? I've been listening to Maiden for quite some time now... about 35 years. But now I get to know the songs better because you with english as your native language understand the songs in a different way than I do. My language is german and I do understand english lyrics, but it is not quite the same when it comes to deeper understanding. Thanks for that!

[@ChemicalManUSA]

Great reaction video! This song was written solely (lyrics and music) by guitarist Adrian Smith (who did the amazing solo in the song). He wrote it after Iron Maiden had spent the previous year+ on the road, on the World Slavery Tour (supporting the album Powerslave). Near the end of that tour, all the members of the band were pretty burnt out- that's too long to spend away from home and family. Adrian wrote it about the experience of losing himself on that tour, but also the need to "live in the moment," as you astutely noted. Iron Maiden will be in the U.S. this summer (2019)- hope to see you at a show, Preston! UP THE IRONS!!

A great song written as a 'memoir' really, 'from coast to coast, across the seven seas'...the life and times of being a band. Touring and going through life's days'...realizing, no matter how tough it may have been at times, how those years really were the 'golden years'...my favorite to play, and one of Smith's best solos in my opinion.
