      Yeah when it's stripped down to an acoustic version with just the guitar and lyrics you can really appreciate just how strong the songwriting and lyrics by Iron Maiden really are. It's easy for some people to dismiss metal genres as "not real music" because it's loud and fast, but stuff like this proves that's simply not true. A lot of metal artists are some of the most technically proficient musicians in existence.

      I've been out of the "metal community" since the mid 80's, and definitely know that Iron Maiden has song writing talent. I think most folks who truly appreciate music understand this, even if it's not the style they listen to most often. Just like I also know that Hank Williams Sr. was a very talented artist, but don't listen to his stuff much these days.

    The original has aggression and power... a type of flamboyance that comes with metal band like Iron Maiden. This cover does what every great acoustic cover does - it exposes the true melody of the song. It gives it a whole new feeling. It's very rare to find two versions of one song that can say two very different things.

    From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
    I'm travellin' on, far and wide
    But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself
    And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but
    someone else
    I close my eyes, and think of home
    Another city goes by in the night
    Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it 'til it's
    gone away
    And my heart is lying there and will be 'til my
    dying day
    [Chorus:]
    So understand
    Don't waste your time always searching for
    those wasted years
    Face up... make your stand
    And realise you're living in the golden years
    Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
    Can't ease this pain, so easily
    When you can't find the words to say it's hard to
    make it through another day
    And it makes me wanna cry and throw my
    hands up to the sky

    Many people will not give metal the time of day to learn the lyrics actually have deep meaning. Whether you like this version of the song or not, it lets those who would never listen to Iron Maiden to actually take time out and listen to the message of the song. Now for myself I like the metal version, acoustic not my thing, but again it oddly enough this version does serve the metal world some good. The singer/guitarist is talented. Good for him. Another way of saying this is "opera, not my thing, not something i would listen to, however I can appreciate the talent of those who sing it." Does that make any sense? And those are my thoughts for today.

      Some rock tunes were created first for acoustic guitar.
      As far I know, it's not the case of Wasted Years, but if my memory serves me right, the song "Can I play with madness" (Also written by Adrian Smith) was originally composed to be an acoustic ballad before turning it into the song rock and metal fans know.

In this cover, Ryan has shown the true art of Maiden's song craft that us fans have always appreciated. And in doing so, he has shown his own great talent. Holy shit is right.
