ABOUT IRON MAIDEN:
Iron Maiden are an institution. Over the course of six decades they have come to embody a spirit of fearless creative independence, ferocious dedication to their fans, and a cheerful indifference to their critics that’s won them a following that spans every culture, generation, and time-zone. A story of gritty determination and courageous defiance of the naysayers, theirs has been an adventure like no other.
The band’s immense discography includes the studio albums ‘The Number Of The Beast’, ‘Piece Of Mind’, ‘Powerslave, ‘Somewhere In Time’, ‘Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son’, ‘Fear Of The Dark’, ‘The Final Frontier’ and ‘The Book Of Souls’ which have spawned many classic hits as ‘The Trooper’, ‘Wasted Years’, ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’, ‘Wasting Love’, ‘Run To The Hills’, ‘Aces High’, ‘Rime Of The Ancient Mariner’ and ‘2 Minutes to Midnight’.

Me🙋♂️

2023 is over. Be careful out there.
This masterpiece
Living in these Golden yrs,, 50 and listening 😎and will Still be listening in my 60s,70s,80s,,,, as long as my ears will let me, lol ( as I'm blaring JBL earbuds now 😅🎧🎚️🎸🎤🎸🎸🤘🤘✌️
" Realize you're living in those golden years. "
The song really speaks to me lately, as I have grown older.
Right there with you on that!
When I discovered Maiden, their music was like a secret passage into another world !! Along with the other great bands that were in the spotlight at the time, it really was The Golden Years.
Rock On Everyone !!
It really relates to me too,I took a huge dump today
100% same! You never realize things until you are older.
Wow!
What a completely kick ass song! They had many but this is one of my favorites. Today’s music doesn’t compare to this era.
My dad passed away this week and this was his favorite song ever. Thanks dad for showing me some good music... I'll do the same with my kids in the future.
💜
Sorry for your loss!
sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
Sorry for your loss. And may your dad continue rocking on the other side. ♥
God bless you brother!
"Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years" Powerful words that prove that metal music can have a message and still kick ass!! Thank you Bruce Dickinson.
"Realize your living in the gold in years"
It is a Adrian’s composition, he did the lyrics
@@elnanjo I am referring to the vocals of Bruce Dickinson.
I don't mean to take away from your point, because it is solid, but I always thought that was the point of metal to begin with. Powerful messages and kickass music, that's what it's all about, right?
When I listen to Maiden I listen to life
I'm a 43 year old guy from germany, grewing up with many styles of techno music that i really loved.
Can anybody imagine how it is to discover ALL songs of Iron Maiden in my age for the very first time? It is unbelievable and just heavenly to listen to all theyr albums since i discovered this band in december 2022. Of course i knew this band from theyr name but...
no band and no music in my whole life gave me this kind of powerful and emotional feelings. Tears, smiles, goosebumps, happyness and love for month now. I love Iron Maiden so much and it is the greatest gift i can imagine to discover all theyr music, all theyr fantastic songs. It is just pure life.
Up the irons forever❤❤
you also need jesus
@@HikingandWandering No, i don't.
well one day you will be on the other side, good luck@@vonanstetten2355
I feel with you. Grew up with techno but realized earlier the magic of the Irons. 26th of Dec. in Fulda just enjoy a great coverband if you live not to far away.
@@AndreHuck-rw9kl Komme aus dem Bonner Raum. Habe bisher 667 und Killerz gesehen. Welche Coverband hast du gesehen?
A beautiful song with a powerfull message. You can’t live in the past because you can’t go back and change it and you also cant’t live in the future because future is not certain. You have to remind yourself how you want to be remembered when you are gone and make it happen right now (not tomorrow)!
We all wish we could change our pasts... but we're part of our pasts... and whether we know it or not, some of those parts will be considered great and worthy of envy by the next generation... so enjoy it, rather than looking forward or back.
Well said 🙏🤘
@@Smitty-hr2mgYou give me the 1980's over anything else. I was there I know.
I wish everyone didn't let these corrupt politicians get away with so much dogshit to bring us here. Its impossible after a certain point to achieve success.
Very good! That’s very inspiring, we all need to live our lives with those things in mind.
I was a 8 years old kid when I was snooping around my dad's music shelf. I had no music preference whatsoever back then, so my attention was mainly focused on the covers. Then I found a Blade Runner-looking cover with some kind of futuristic zombie. Then I realized there were other records with the same zombie, but in different disguises. Impressed by the art, I decided to put the disk in to hear it. I loved every single track, especially this one. However, there was something that bugged me: I didn't know what the lyrics said. Why, I'm Spanish, and I didn't understand English. Nowadays is simple enough, but back then, my English classes were so basic that in the end, I didn't learn anything more than colours and numbers. My mother never learned English, and dad's English was none out of this world. Without internet and the like, learning it was even more difficult. Needless to say an English Academy was really expensive back in the day. So I picked a dictionary and the album's booklet, and tried to figure out what the hell did they sing. It was really frustrating, because I felt that I wasn't making any progress at all. Even with the key words, I didn't understand. English's grammar is way different from Spanish's, so everything was just like a malicious puzzle. But I was stubborn enough to keep trying. Even if I didn't understand much, my vocabulary increased significantly. So did my listening. I was actually learning English by myself. Just to understand the lyrics. I didn't have any other goal. Then... BANG! internet came. With the basis I had already learned, everything went so easy... Full translations, videos, movies, dictionaries of all kind, free grammar lessons, slang, archaisms... I did it. Now I can understand every song, meet incredible people whom I'd never known by just speaking my mother language. Use it for working, free time, learning about other stuff... And it all began thanks to them. Iron Maiden just taught me English. They opened an entire new world before me.
My, those weren't wasted years...
Darkaraz That was beautiful
This is inspiring. Thank you
id just felt the same way as you
thx for sharing ur memories in the name of music
Damn!!! I cried mate!!!!! All this is so amazing! Greeting from Greece, Spanish friend.
Darkaraz your English is way better than the majority of so called English speakers
A message to the future generations:
"Don't let Iron Maiden's music die"
Hey, i'm 16 y/o and you can count on me for that.
Don't worry buddy I got my entire workforce hooked on Maiden
Goddamn masterpiece
What would you recommend their best song is. I’m new to rock.
hi, i'm 13 yo so their music isnt dying
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
Travelin' 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 I 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, will be 'til my dying day, Adrian!
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
Realize 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, hard to make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry, throw my hands up to the sky
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
Realize you're living in the golden years, hey!
So understand, Adrian!
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
Realize you're living in the golden years
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
Realize you're living in the golden years, hey!
Thank you for taking the time! Some heroes wear dpnt wear caps and still do an awesome job! 🤘♠️
Thanks !!
Not 💯%, but close enough. Thanks!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Dave Mustaine True indeed 🤘🏾
Dave Mustaine You're my all time favorite Dave!!! I've been jammin to your music since the early 80's.
This song gave me support to get out of a great depression, I thought I was going to die but it made me understand that you should always move on and not waste time in the past and live for yourself
I am with you. Every time you hear it, it will give you strength and hope! \m/
“The ones who don’t make it to heaven did not realize I am the love of their life and they are the love of mine.” -Jesus
“In the places you have looked for me, you won’t find me.”
His love for us individually:
Psalms 139:
17How amazing are your thoughts concerning me, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand on the sea-
He has an appointment with us every morning:
Job 7
17“What is mankind that you make so much of them,
that you give them so much attention,
18that you examine them every morning
and test them every moment?
Jesus created us, we are his Masterpiece:
Colossians 1
The Supremacy of the Son of God
15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
I was surprised he knew me individually:
Psalms 139
13For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Acts 17
26From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28‘For in him we live and move and have our being.
The Bible says God hands us our every breath. As long as we are alive, he is longing for us to turn back to him, we are his child, the joy of his life. He is the Embodiment of Love. He has one need and that is to love. Our reason for being. Our sole purpose in life is to find him. To remember him. He is the love of our life and we are the love of his. He gives us infinite chances to come back to him in this life because he unconditionally loves us, way beyond even the love our parents feel for us.
Take the bate he gives you. Do not reject him. Try him.
“He is wooing you from the jaws of distress (demons, hell, eternal horror and fear, separation from God and his attributes) into a spacious place, free of restriction.”
“When you’ve tried everything else, try me.” -God
He is not against anyone of us:
Ezekiel 18
21“But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die. 22None of the offenses they have committed will be remembered against them. Because of the righteous things they have done, they will live. 23Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?
Joel 2
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity.
14Who knows? He may turn and relent
and leave behind a blessing.
Isaiah 30:18
Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion…
How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you.
Psalms 139
4Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
A month ago, Jesus gave me the most precious gift I could ever ask for. It was a vision of himself watching me with his loving eyes on me. He looked over at me from where he was sitting in a chair with the most loving caring smile, like he had always been watching me…even before I came to know him. Even more than fatherly, it was a motherly kind of love, not as if to say “what are you doing today?” but “how are you doing?” He really cared about me like my own mother would, I was surprised to see that kind of love. I knew immediately that’s how he watched everyone, with the care of both a father and a mother. He smiled and without moving his mouth, I heard him say “I will never leave you.”
A few days later, I had two repeated dreams of that vision, and I heard this verse immediately after it both times:
Psalms 32
8I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
Jesus wants to pour out his heart to us:
Proverbs 1
23If you had repented at my rebuke, then surely I would have poured out my thoughts to you; I would have made my teachings known to you.
Psalms 25
14The Lord confides in those who fear him.
Amos 4 He reveals his thoughts to mankind.
Jeremiah 33:3
‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
Isaiah 45
I would not have told the people of Israel to seek me, if I could not be found.
Jeremiah 29
11For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14I will be found by you,” declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 10:23 23Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own;
it is not for them to direct their steps.
Psalms 37 4Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this.
Matthew 6:8 Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
These verses really helped me move my fear/respect/need for attention away from humans and over to God:
Isaiah 2 22Stop trusting in mere humans,
who have but a breath in their nostrils.
Why hold them in esteem?
Mathew 10 28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Proverbs 8
13To fear the Lord is to hate evil;
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
psalms 86
5You, Lord, are forgiving and good,
abounding in love to all who call to you.
Jeremiah 33:9
They will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide.
1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Psalms 53
2God looks down from heaven
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
1 Chronicles 28
Acknowledge the God of your fathers, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. 10Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you!
When we sin, we partner with demons. When we’ve given into them and been a slave to them in this life, they own us for eternity. In eternity, we are on their turf in their kingdom-outside of God’s protection. They hate us. Torture is their game. Torture did not originate with man, but demons. Do not partner with the demon of lust, demon of anger, demon of addiction…etc. These are not just innocent temptations we all have; anyone who has had sleep paralysis has briefly met the demon/s that will own them forever. God uses dreams to warn us:
Job 33
14For God does speak-now one way, now another-though no one perceives it.
15In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on people
as they slumber in their beds,
16he may speak in their ears
and terrify them with warnings,
17to turn them from wrongdoing
and keep them from pride,
18to preserve them from the pit,
their lives from perishing by the sword.
……..29“God does all these things to a person-
twice, even three times-
30to turn them back from the pit,
that the light of life may shine on them.
James 4
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come near to God and he will come near to you.
It was so easy to see other’s faults but never my own.
psalms 19
12But who can discern their own errors?
We are always on his mind, he cares and thinks about us continually, as a Father cares about his child.
Jeremiah 12:3
3Yet you know me, Lord;
you see me and test my thoughts about you.
If you want to know God, all you have to do is ask Him.
Great days lie ahead!
Much love,
Amy

@G99Z9R great bro, now is our time keep living
2022 was just another wasted year. It’s getting worse.
Iron Maiden is the UK's finest export.
Since Fawkes
I always thought it was Bond. James Bond.
@@joeseymour4824 You're wrong dear Dr.Watson....but,Holmes ?/???/
Pink Floyd? Beatles?
@@kurtomom who dey?
I Will Leave This Comment So That When Someone Likes It, I will Come Back To Listen Again and Again ❤🔥🔥
one of their greatest records
It's the best song of its kind
i think the number of the beast or peice of mind is there best albums
I think everyone that loves Maiden has a favorite/best album. Piece of Mind would be mine.
I don't know I have a favorite but I know I've lost touch with the band. Anything from No Fear onward I have never heard.
T3chN3wb such a shame. You are missing out on some good tracks.
This song (and entire album) is Adrian Smith’s masterpiece. The amount of emotion put into that guitar solo brings a tear to my eye. Brilliant guitarist.
Amen!! My first concert ever in KCMO!
It's true 👍
What makes Iron Maiden great! each member contributes and is equal.
Indeed ! Awesome song, sound and work putted together. Love the guitar lines since the beginning to the end. (The whole instruments as well, cannot choose hahaha 😂🤣😅)
Literally every album has a great song
The older I get, the more I like this song. Both the music and the lyrics are truly extraordinary and will remain for posterity, far beyond the realm of heavy metal. It's truly a masterpiece by Adrian Smith. And let's admit it, that intro riff immediately sends shivers down your spine.
Adrian Smith's solo was breathtaking 👌🏿
Absolutely agree, but the last few bars, that final chord... Goosebumps. Every. Single. Time.
I've been listening to Maiden since I was 18, I'll be 55 this year. This is the song of my youth, and I will cherish it forever. UP THE IRONS!
From the coast of gold
Across the seven seas
I'm travelling 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
So understand
Don't waste your time
Always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize 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
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching
For those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize you're living in the golden years
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching
For those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize you're living in the golden years
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching
For those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize you're living in the golden years
Thank you!

Awesome bass line

Thank you for the lyrics...
Iron Maiden uploading all of their music videos in one day?? This is the best thing ever!
GrantH i guess i can give away my cdr of their videos i worked so hard to compile many years ago lol.
agreed
+GrantH On Bruces birthday ;-)

Jozaa, i have 2 Iron Maiden shirts :D
One of the greatest guitar riffs ever devised. Adrian Smith is a legend.
The solo is masterful! One of the most underrated guitarists.
@@ianrichter4551 he is not underrated,wtf
most maiden songs in their entirety were written by Steve Harris. vocal, guitar, bass, drum lines. everything
@@butter5144 Not to us but in the world of guitarist he is a little. I mean all around guitar. In the world of metal and rock, hes worshipped as a God.
@@yasuke9317 I don't think I've heard a better guitar duo than Dave/Adrian in my life. They're just phenomenal
This is an Adrian Smith MASTERPIECE.
This along with the solo on Stranger In A Strange Land are his stand outs for me
Only fitting that a educator in precious metals listens to metal :D
MIKE MALONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU LEGEND!! GOLD IS MONEY, FIAT IS TRASH!!!!!
and so it´s a Steve masterpiece, the sound of that bass is beautiful
hahahah you wishh, janick killed it
Adrian Smith.. Such an under rated guitarist.
He is magic
Top 10 for me...and I've listened to a SHIT TON of guitar-driven music
Never underated
He wrote this song, too.
The ending to that guitar solo.....👌
A couple of years ago I was in a bad place emotionally and flirting with depression, but listening to this song helped me get myself back on my feet and start looking ahead, instead of living in the past. I'm forever grateful for Iron Maiden.
Yes!! Helped me out too, brother
Me ajudou, e ainda me ajuda. Força irmão
It took me through a rough patch in the 80ies, too! I.M. forever!
It's helping me now... I hope I get over this!
I love Iron Maiden and hopefully I can move on the way you did
IRON MAIDEN IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bruce solo albums are divine as well!
Only 86 million views? That's a crime.
My four year old daughter (who loves Metallica and Dio) just discovered Iron Maiden and this is her second favorite of theirs after the Trooper 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
So cool!
love this :)
One of the greatest things about being a dad (for me) has been sharing music with my kids over the years. Mine are now in their late teens / early 20s...but I know EXACTLY what you're talking about... My daughter at that age was obsessed with 'Adorations' by Killing Joke... My son at that age was nuts for Ratt and Twisted Sister etc... both now listen to all kinds of music, mostly Indie stuff, but they have a deep love for a lot of the tunes i played for them at that age... Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd (my son now has a bunch of their albums :) and to this day my daughter listens to Iron Maiden lol... i came home from work the other day, to find her studying and listening to Live after Death :)
Your daughter has great taste in music.❤
Good parenting. Up the irons!!❤🤘🤘
Parenthood done right👍
Lyric's
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
Travelin' 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 I 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, will be 'til my dying day, Adrian!
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
Realize 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, hard to make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry, throw my hands up to the sky
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
Realize you're living in the golden years, hey!
So understand, Adrian!
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
Realize you're living in the golden years
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
Realize you're living in the golden years, hey!
Great comment!
Rock and roll
Fucking golden years
I dedicate this song to 2020, truly a wasted year, and we aren't even halfway through it.
At least we have Trump goal-tending the complete globalist takeover - how crazy is that?
Ellipsis not as crazy as the Demorats!🤣
Try living in Australia, we have gone from extreme bushfires, to flooding, hailstorms and now covid19... can we skip the rest 😳
@@GladwishStephen I know, I am from South Australia, hasn't been fun for us.
Life is what you make of it
Was fortunate enough to see and experience the glorious 80 metal era ! UP THE IRONS!
Hey, i dont gotta wait for all the good music to have come along later on. Not like i was alive then. Got the good shit to search for and listen to now. Like this song. Some good shit iron maide made
One of the most inspirational songs ever.
I have followed Iron Maiden all my life since I was 16, I'm 56 now and I cannot ever remember a band such like Iron Maiden that has not only touched my heart with their lyrics but has done so much for charities. This song will be played at my funeral.
Always liked metal but I really got into it when I was 14 and my dad and I went to a maiden concert. I’m 18 now and iron maiden is my favourite band most likely will always be
@@Shadow.behind.mountains "My dad and I went to a maiden concert". Gtfoh, you coddled little child. That's the complete opposite of what the metal culture is about. Hahahaha 😄
Same since 86 I'm 49 now still one of my favourite bands . Iconic
@@Shadow.behind.mountains heard the riffs and never looked back
Me to.And i am 53 now.
The solo on this song is incredible
My favorite Maiden song : )
One of my favourites :), my favourite one is Powerslave. But this one is definitely in my top 10
Big same 🔥
My fave too.
Definitely best Maiden song ever.
Simply underrated. This video needs more views.
God the vocals in this song are just so legendary, Dickinson really is one of the greats
O MAIOR!
As is smith
@@staceykidd672 yes
Was fortunate enough to see this live in Calgary, Alberta - 2023. They finished off the show with this.
What I saw that night was real and not just fantasy.
No matter what life brings me, no matter how depressed I get or broke down or heart broken, this song always and I mean ALWAYS makes me feel so much better and happier than ever. This song is like the best medicine you can take, especially blasting it really really loud riding down the road with the windows down by yourself is good for the soul, you feel like a million bucks. This is my fav band and god I love this song. Up the IRONS my blood brothers and sisters.
Eternal.
🤘🏻UP THE IRONS!
Keep getting up in the morning "up the irons"we got this wes

@Andrés Arias Yeah but there are songs out there more underrated, than this.
My favorite!
@@VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM 43 mill now
I turned 50 today, still remember my first maiden concert when I was 14 in Zabrze Poland, this song always made me feel optimistic about the future. Thanks for all the great music guys.
We're the same age and when I was 15 I saw my 1st Maiden show too. That was in San Francisco. World Slavery Tour! Poland was where the entire tour began. Very impressive.
Tuning 50 soon to brother realize your living in the golden years
Turned 50 last Sept. First time I seen them I was 13 or 14 at the IMA sports arena in Burton Michigan.
GOLDEN YEARS 🎯💯🔥
We're the same age, dude, keep rocking!

Adrian’s guitar in this album is extremely futuristic
And 7s of a 7s
Happy Birthday Mr. Adrian Smith 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
You don't need friends when you have a Iron Maiden playlist.
This album hasn't released till now
Adrian's solo here is my all time favorite of all of Maiden's songs. Up the Irons !!!!
The guitar break from 2:32 - 3:47 is phenomenal 😱
YOU are so right!
Completely agree! its mind blowing!
cannot agree more
Me encanta esa parte porque la guitarra va acorde con las apariciones de las diferentes versiones de Eddie.
@@miguelfsierra8111 Absolutamente!
Iron Maiden will live on
AND REALIZE YOU´RE LIVING IN THE GOLDEN YEARS!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MASTER BRUCE!!!!
This song is one of those songs that just stays in your memory, forever.

yes i agree
It's my birthday today so I came here to listen to this. The last years were really hard for me, true, but I guess we have to keep going. And Maiden will always be there no matter how hard the road gets. Thank you guys.
Probably the best song from Iron Maiden! I've been listening to it for over 20 years.
"Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand and realize you're living in the golden years."
"Es un gran Mensaje..para todos 🔥🇨🇱
when i was a little 8yo boy my father wanted to take me to a maiden concert. i didn't want to go because of my "musical preference" at the time... now i'm 18 and i see that as the biggest missed oportunity of my life. whenever i think about it this song starts playing in my head. i hope i will get a chance to see them live.
another chance *
There's got to be just more to it than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again.
maybe because you're a piece of shit faggot
yep maybe becuz of dhhatttt :(( poor poor me :Š
dont bother. bruce voice is over and might ruin the show for you(yes i said it bruce fanboys)
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years 🎶 Face up, make your stand 🎶 And realize you're living in the golden years 👊🏼
This is definitely the song where I enjoyed the music when I was young but understands the lyrics now that I am older.
"Face up. Make a stand. Realize that you're living in your golden years."
Simple but timeless wisdom.
The love for Iron Maiden is a legacy from my mother, plus Rock Metal has helped me with my anxiety and depression. thank you all 🤘🤘🤘
Hello,how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.

..and all of the 2010's
yeah & 2021 and who knows how far..........Fuuuuuuuuck!
Preaching to the choir Luiz !
2021 wasted as well. I dont expect enything good.
Too damn right
Easily one of the most replayable songs of all time it never gets old.
Watching them play just adds up to the goodness!
I can listen to this song 1 million times and never get sick of it.
Absolutely !
same
Oui!
thats what i said about another song... i got tired of it and now it doesn't even sound good to me anymore
And that’s why people that listen to Maiden don’t listen to Nickelback.
When I'm depressed, falling behind in my studies or going through some kind of bad time, I need motivation to get back up and I get that motivation from Iron Maiden. I will be forever grateful to you Iron Maiden. Take endless love from Bangladesh.
My Son was shown what the Maiden family is when I took him and his friends to see a sold out show....a year later Slayer retirement tour and Motorhead on the tour...Lenny dies next year...got to show him the greatest era in life and music

Sorry bro, I know how you feel.
Death is a part of life ~ When my mom died, I cried so much I got dehydrated. My Dad died when I was 10 yrs old, it didn't really hit me until I was 13 yrs old. 👿 In my rebellious years. "L. I. F. E."
(Living Isn't Fuckin' Easy)
My mom died 26/03/16 she was only 50 years old, every song from Iron Maiden make me crying that lost, but I know she is every where and memories never die 🙏🏻
Wtf mine too
A new generation has embraced iron maiden. Now that's what I call well crafted music
LOUD AND PROUD🤘
Iron Maiden. The most amazing story tellers in the history of Metal.
i paid attention to the lyrics and its a pretty deep song
Almost all Iron Maiden's songs are very deep if you find them a meaning
+Zanguetsu they really do
I don't understand the lyrics :(
+LiGhTy come on, it's about wasting the best years of their life touring
Jack Smiler-Brandenburg Dude I'm french, I understand a little bit of English when I read it, but when someone speaks, it's harder, but Bruce is singing, and screaming, with the drums and the guitar, it's very hard to get one word xD and I want to understand so this is frustrating :(
For god sakes Iron Maiden better be elected into the Hall of Fame rock and roll this year Bruce Dickerson on his own stop and think he flies the band around Europe and around the world on a 747 that he pilots on his merits alone deserves some sort of recognition these guys have withstood the sands of time and definitely deserve the recognition
Iron Maiden doesn't need the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. They have legions of fans worldwide after decades. The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame would be lucky to have them.
R&R HOF too busy inducting shitty gangsta rap thugs to earn PC social virtue signaling points to care about actual "Rock" music. As long as Run DMC and LL Cool J, etc are inducted that's all that matters to the clowns that run the clown show.
No such thing anymore
Hall of shame
Nah, They dont need the hall of fame. They are fine without that shitty thing.
Iron maiden your so professional

Amazing song, and the text hits you hard when you're living every day with depression, wasting year after year looking back on how you could have done things differently.
It's sad to think that many people will spend their lives thinking that rock and metal is music that has a bad influence on young people, without realizing that it is music that heals the mind and soul.
The golden era is something unrepeatable, we have to preserve songs like this for eternity, so that future generations can discover what was true music many years from now, when only left commercial garbage.
❤
Totally agree
too real man..
Great post, friend
🤘🏻♥️
"don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years" powerful song
My dad used to listed to Iron Maiden while we were driving, and I believe this song was his favourite
Masterpiece!
Makes me happy and sad at the same time: phenomenal music.
Exactly ! It touches the emotions
Hooray for Iron Maiden.
Facts
I was sixteen when this got out in 1986 and the very first time I listened to this song, I said to myself that was the most beautiful music I had ever heard and from my favorite group on top : Iron Maiden. Fast forward now in 2021, I'm past my fifties now, still listening to this song like it was the first time and it makes me feel good. Up the Irons!
Same. I was 16 in 86. Back when Mtv played music, they had a vote for videos each day, this song was on everyday.
I bought the Cassette when I was 16 to ✌
I was seventeen when this song got out. It wasn't until much later in life I learned about the band's history. A band that started in 1975 ... helped define metal and clawed their way to absolute superstardom in mid-late 80s. They've had many great songs before and after ... but, at the time they wrote this, I think it is their Magnum Opus.
It’s timeless! Such a great song 🔥
damn yall old as f88k
This song has the most face melting solo of all time . Iron Maiden , modern day Mozarts with distortion. This came out when I was 15 years old and it still rips to no end. One of the finest pieces of music in history .
Oh yeah!
This song is seriously timeless
Definitely
Never gets old or boring. What a master piece. It is a pity that we don't get music like this these days
because the motive for todays artists is money. metal bands do it to express feelings, thats the difference
The only band who comes close for me is Rammstein. In fact, Deutschland has Iron Maiden vibes probably as a nod to them.
This song is so true & it turns out that the 1970's & 80's really were the Golden Years.
I wouldn't want to be a child growing up now. It must suck so bad.
Could be that the 50's & 60's were better, but I wouldn't know, I hadn't been born yet.

Don't care what anyone says, Somewhere in Time is still my favorite Iron Maiden album, in large part because of this song.
Its the perfect running-album. Have run many miles litsening to it. :-)
Saw them live during somewhere in time your, September'86. Had to have a written permission from my Mum to get in... Up with Irons✌️
Only Nazi worshippers listen to this
@@huaweinovasucks6068 Troll
Great song for sure, but hard to pick an album. I've seen them over 100 times in over 20 countries.
Realize you're living in your golden years !
I'm 55 and about 40 of being an IM fan. This song brings me Back to my visit in Vancouver on Christmas 1986 where I bought SOMEWHERE IN TIME LP and still have it in its original plastic cover to this date. A real masterpiece and a priceless piece of music history.
Not only does this band kick ass instrumentally but, the vocals, the harmony is unbelievable! One bad ass band for sure!
Songs like no other. Every time any of their songs comes on the radio or in my playlist, it’s easily identifiable. Such a great band
Damn right, Always been my favorite Maiden song
Find that now that doesn't autotune
This is definitely my favorite song by Iron Maiden, they are simply the best.
somewhere in time is the shit as well
So many good memories with maiden that are fading as I get old.
This one track has more notes in it than most bands play in their entire careers.
The song Aces high
True.
Well said!!!!!!
@Adrian Martinez Dorsett Si
That’s real talent. That guitar solo has a great amount of notes.
