This is one of the most iconic metal songs ever written for me.
It's not written for you.
@@nihilist1680 pedant..
Not really metal tho
@@James-hh1lq in the 80's
@@christophersmith2662 somewhere in time wss fill of synthesised tunes . Dont even ask about modern maiden zzzzz
"Somewhere in Time" is one of the best Iron Maiden albums.. beginning to end!
Best album artwork of all time, too.
It is the Blade Runner of Maiden albums
Really? I always thought it was pants 😂
Beginning to End!!! Every song is amazing!!! Not too many albums exist like that
Totally agree
Lex, saying her heartbeat is an Iron Maiden guitar solo, instantly checkmating the cynicism of fans everywhere 😂👏👏
#truth!
Word Up🤘
Right on
Damn
Fk the cynics. Lex is golden!
The best Dickinson years, what a unique voice.... and every time, even after all this years, this solo gives me goosebumps.
Monks meditate, Lex finds her internal vibration through an Iron Maiden guitar solo. Lex: "That is the epitome of the undertone of my existence." Your thoughts always fascinate.
Lex had a mixed up child-hood. She grew up everywhere, including Germany, American military child. All of us have metal in our souls because of it!
Awesome🤘!
@@drServitis mother was a teacher too, if I am correct in my understanding. So clearly educated beyond the norm, simply via exposure and osmosis
@@LordEriolTolkien I'd like to know more of Brad's story too. They're both very intelligent and grounded people. They should do a Q and A video I think.
Lex's reaction to hearing Maiden songs for the first time is exactly how we are felt when hearing new Maiden songs. Steve Harris is a wizard on the bass, he always has his own little riff inside the song which most bass players don't. Long live the Irons 🤘🤘
@Bras & Lex Too bad she dropped most Metal for some unkown sad reason! Lexy never got to really explore Yngwie! & Now @Brad After Dark is into it more. Brad was always more of the lyrical one. Love to see him revisit some song he wasn't into as much first time around.
Idk who in their right mind called this trash? This is one of their top songs & Very importan measage! Not uncommon for UK bands. More intelligent then most. Redo on early Iron Maiden songs. Love Bruce but Paul was godly! & MUST redo #1= Krokus -Screaming In The Night (with video a must this time❣) & all feel free to add on...
Wonder why Lex pulled away? Maybe because masses don't get it? Don't have the extra wrinkley brain to appreciate & understand it? Then people claim it is bad for children. Yet look up Ivy League studies & they proved how intelligent Classic Metal especially is.
It lights up many sections of the brain & for children more so. Even in utero they proved it aids in brain development. Thus why 60-70% of Mena (Genius Club) Members prefer Classic (not nu/un) Metal! & Next is Metals cousin, Classical! Look it all up! Many studies & papers written!
&
*Light up your brains & smoke some Classic Metal instead of the brain killer green!
Enjoy all one can whilst can... Take care & be well all💜🤘
This song is about the life on the road as a metal band and being away from home. A masterpiece
It's way deeper than that. It's lives biggest battle,Not giving into resentment, and self-pity, keeping your mind active in the present and able to take advantage of opportunity, instead of taking sad indulgence, in reimagining the past, which gets the dopamine levels flowing, on a superficial, momentary basis, but is counter-productive to having a successful future life
And yet it still relates to anyone that listens to the lyrics. It relates to many peoples lives.
This brings me back to a mid-winter Sunday evening, 35 years ago. Sitting in a train, with 2 hours ahead of me, on my way to the army barracks where I was stationed back then. Watching all the street and station lights flash by in the dark as we speed at 80 mph on a cold steel rail road. The cadence is soothing. Got my headset on and plugged in into my walkman. Playing the album Somewhere in Time out loud twice until I reach my destination. And again during the walk from the train station to the barracks in the icy cold dark on the desolated and empty streets. Just me and Iron Maiden.
That’s awesome dude 🤘
Thanks for your service and for listening to great music. 👍
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Up the irons! 🤘 One thing I always recommend when people listen to Maiden is always keep an ear on the bass. Steve Harris is just a beast on the bass. Listen to those bass lines. 😉
Up the Irons! 🤘
The absolute truth!
He absolutely works that bass in this one for sure
You cant play lead riffs on a bass guitar
Steve Harris; hold my pint
For sure. I got to see them twice in the early and mid 80s. Steve Harris is such a badass.
You guys are just AWESOME. I grew up listening to these songs, and seeing you guys discovering them is so nice. Lex is such a metal head, and Brad seems to be comig around ;)
Keep it up!
This hovers around my top 5 Maiden tracks. I love the bass work in it.
When it comes to bass lines, Maiden presents a surfeit of riches. Steve will hafta go down in history as one of The best Metal bassists (and songwriters) of all time
BRAD AND LEX ARE THE BEST REACTION TEAM ON UA-cam! SMART, ENTERTAINING AND GOOD LOOKING! THEY GOTS IT ALL!
Maiden Rules! Up the Irons!
Yes!!! This is one of my favorite songs from Iron Maiden 🤟
When I first heard this song as a teenager when it came out I didn't realise how much it would mean to me in the years that followed.
When things have got hard either through bad luck or my own bad decisions I've always gone back to "Wasted Years" as a pick me up. To help me put everything back into perspective.
My hat's off to Adrian Smith for bringing this song to the band!
Been a Iron Maiden fan since 1983 and this is my all-time favorite Maiden song ever!! This song came out in 1986. Bruce Dickinson was 28 years old at that time.
Adrian Smith one of Iron Maidens guitarists wrote the song, lyrics and music and also plays the intro. Iron Maiden have always played a variety of songs from the Heavier to lighter songs. If you listen to an entire album of songs you need contrast.
Adrians solos always sound better than murray's to me
I remember listening to this on our tour bus in 87. I was just 20 on my way to the next show. No family or home. Just the 4 other guys in the band. This song brings it back vividly.
This is like the most lyrically uplifting song they've ever made. From a pretty underrated album.
The best solo on this incredible album is on the song 'Stranger in a Strange Land' - you need to hear it Lex. 'Somewhere in time' was Maiden's 6th studio album and the first time they dabbled with guitar synths. They got some criticism for this but the whole album had a real ethereal quality to its production, mainly the electric guitar sound.
Somewhere in Time is my favourite Iron Maiden Album. Stranger in a Strange land is incredible.
Alexander The Great helped me in 5th grade! I did a history diorama and got an A!
The only "weak" song could be "Deja Vu",maybe.
@@goranilincic2644 totally agree.
Somewhere in TIme is definitely a top Maiden album. I know many will disagree, but Fear of the Dark is grossly underrated!
You guys rock. Brad is solemn and dedicated in "concentrating" on the music, and Lex is just letting the music flow through her, and rocking the fuck out (while still listening to the message). The fucking perfect couple to react to shit really!!!
Guitarist Adrian Smith wrote this track and it reflects a more focused, less bombastic approach for Maiden.
The first Seven Iron Maiden albums (from late 70's to the beginning of the 90's) are among the best Rock/Metal albums of all time, in my opinion, with only a few poor songs across 7 albums. At the height of their youthful and creative powers. This is from the very middle of that period when they were literally world conquering. It is a momentary vision of that madness and success from within the travelling circus that is tour. It expresses the homesickness and the recognition of the fact that they are in fact at the top of their career... '' Living in the golden years ''
As a guitarist, I have to admit the reason I like Iron Maiden is due to the bass and drums.
Now checkout Steelheart. Songs like "Angel Eyes I'll Never Let You Go", "She's Gone", "Can't Stop Me Loving You", "Mama Don't You Cry", "Everybody Loves Eileen".
How could anyone not love Lexi! Her reaction on songs like this are so fantastic. It reminds me on me when i heard Iron Maiden about 34 years ago for the first time. Keep on rocking you guys, you are just a super cool and loveley couple and it is fun to watch you.

Good job you two. I've been a Maiden freak since 1981. Lex you are adorable.
I bought this album the day it was released and this has always been my favorite Iron Maiden song. I've been happy in my minority all this time.
From the same album as this track... "Caught Somewhere In Time",,for the guitar solo.. awesome!...And again from the same album...my fav Maiden track. "Stranger In A Strange Land"..its how I feel.
So LEX, what you're saying is that guitar solos literally speak to your soul! Me too, but mostly blues guitar, like SRV.
Iron Maiden is my favorite band ever... Saw them 1st when I was 15.. changed my world...seen them live 5 times total.
This has always been my favorite Maiden riff. You guys need to do RUSH - 2112
And the meek shall inherite the earth.
What a song. What a band.
The Evil That Men Do is another great choon 👌
My favorite Iron Maiden song and my suggestion the other night
Honestly, you guys should do more old school metal like this. These songs are timeless classics and can never be beat, today or in the future. There is so much joy in seeing you guys discovering pure talent and creativity. I guess it’s the same for you. I don’t see such animated reactions from you’ll on newer metal and other genres.
Dude the way that solo twists and fucking shreds and then picks up to let out that mighty wail, all during the part where Bruce sings about the purity of the day you find yourself living in, and the solo STILL KEEPS GOING to carry you through the clouds, soaring through the heavens!! That is my ohm too girl! That is my zen!!! That part always creates a deep well of sensation and emotion in the pit of my being it’s fantastical ✨
The "undertone of your existence" line made me smile wider than I have in a long time. Thanx
A classic Maiden song--rhythm-driven, yet melodic. And with a distinctly positive message.
You two are easily the best reaction couple/duo on the Internet.
I disagree, lex doesn't even read the lyrics half the time an doesn't know what they're trying to get across. An Brad hasn't a clue, most of the time. Just sayin'
@@jasonmichaels5796 Lex is clearly concerned primarily with the music, as opposed to the lyrics. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Her intuitive/mystical approach is what makes her reactions so special.
And Brad does a commendable job on the other end of the spectrum, where he works to analyze the meanings of the songs, lyrically. They fearlessly tackle genres and subgenres that they are not familiar with, so they both deserve props.
@@davidmastro5406 props yes, but there not the best, they do an ok job, but they are 3rd or 4th down the list. My opinion, but I know in today's world I'm not allowed to have one.
Iron Maiden is considered Power Metal. Though not traditionally "heavy" they sparked a genre where countless other bands would follow and replicate.
The bass in this is incredible.
Awesome song, awesome video. Awesome reaction Lex.😁👍
You've heard the hits, now it's time to check out the true Maiden masterpiece. Rime of the Ancient Mariner (the live version from Flight 666 is even better than the studio version)
Completely 100% agree!!! Best song they have!!!
They really need to do a double reaction. Get the lyrics and studio version into the bloodstream, then they will get even more out of the Flight version. Thats how it worked for me, at least.
Live After Death's' versión is much better...
@@TrollingInTheDeep Bruce sounds awful on Live After Death if you ask me. Plus Adrian's solo in Rime on Flight 666 is even better than the studio or Live After Death versions. That tapping section gives me goosebumps every time.
imo songs with minutes long quiet parts with nothing but whispered poetry in it doesn't really lend itself to reaction videos. just my opinion of course it's nothing about the quality of the song just that there's a time and place for things
One of my favorite maiden songs.
‘Can I play with madness’ pretty please and thankyou 😂
GREAT analogy Lex.....I think the same thing now too. I'm 51 years old and it's gone so fast I often get caught up in thinking and yearning for the years when I was in my late teens and early 20's and wish I were there again....then I realize that in 20 years I'll give ANYTHING to be just back where I am today.....appreciate EVERY moment of your life no matter the age and nothing wrong with memories but don't let it consume you...live EVERY day like it's your last!
I grew up listening to Iron Maiden. I'm almost 52 and totally get this song
They put on some of the greatest concerts during the '80s, they were incredible 80-100k watts blasting in your face. Their stages were elaborately designed. I had backstage passes for their Ft Worth show during this tour.
Lex’s reaction and Brads reaction to Lex is the reason I love you guys. Amazing song 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I have a confession. I love the Devildriver song “Wasted Years” and just now found out it was a cover of this song.
Lex's expression during the solo reminds me of when I first heard it years ago. And it's still one of my favourite metal/rock songs ever. There's just something about it that has stood the test of time.
Musically and lyrically this is one of my favourite Iron Maiden song and it’s off my favourite Iron Maiden Albums. Great reaction guys.
1:27 The moment he really starts understanding this song!!! The lyrics in this song are relevant for everyone. Ive always loved this song, used to be able to play it. Solo took a while to learn.
Iron Maiden been around since early 80’s and never had any radio airplay. That was by their choice, they wanted us to go see em live and buy the records. Which by the way always rock front to back end to end nonstop. It’s album music for sure!!! 🤘😎🤘
When this came out, I thought they'd have their first pop hit. Alas, it was not to be. MTV played it a ton, and MTV had a better playlist than radio anyway
Wow! Gave me goosebumps too! Same time as you, Lex! 😂 Love how y’all break it down! Keep up the good work!
One of the most iconic song!! Please react Maiden LIVE. Their performances are so cool and perfect.
So many Greats from Iron Maiden, Eddie Lives
Adrian Smith is such a great songwriter - and although this was very different for Maiden at the time, it shows just what a great musician he is. He's also doing the backing vocals here. To see a more bluesy side of him, I'd recommend listening to the song "Scars" from his recent project with Richie Kotzen - he shares lead vocals and lead guitar. Great song.
If you want to see a great band you two need to see them in concert. 🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸I know Lexi will love them.
you guy are so young, this is classic music to my generation. THANK YOU! for keeping this music alive. I love you LEX.
One of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands.
The speed and precision of Prime Iron Maiden is nearly unparalleled is musical history.
Love the channel, love you kids. 👍🤘
This song soooo connects with me. As you get older, your body fails you, people leave, people die. But you will always have the good memories to look back on if you love the life you're living. Always trying to live your past life wastes your current life.
*I LOVE HER ENERGY !!!*
You know what I like? Two years ago, you would see young people with band t-shirts. You could ask that person to name some songs by that band, and they would fail. I like the fact that people are learning about these great genres, and they are breaking down barriers. Thank you to all of these reaction channels, you are all doing great!
I was 10 years old I was at a family gathering.... My cousin who is about 6 years older than me hid from the family in his bedroom.... He had a strange cassette tape... This tape would play the song and then the song without the guitar part and then the song without the other guitar part so that he could practice playing those parts... It was this song.... My parents listened mostly to country and I had never heard anything like this before.... It changed my life.... About 5 years later my dad bought me a very cheap guitar... Within 24 hours I was playing Kirk Hammett solos.... I didn't sleep for a week.... Few years later I started my own band... The band eventually broke up because I wouldn't sign the record contract... It was a very bad contract.. I'm in my forties now and all of my best memories are listening to music and making music.... Up the irons
One of my faves. MTV had it on heavy rotation and on Headbanger's Ball. One of the songs popular enough for one of the guitar magazines to write tabs for it, which is how I learned it.
"You're the youngest you'll ever be" & ".. the smartest you've ever been" are gold!
Maiden fan from the early years. This song is my favorite from them and I love them all. It’s not a garbage song. Good message.
My all time favorite song. NOTHING comes close to dethroning it for me, ... NOTHING. Sonic perfection. Up the irons!
Another one of the classics! And yes, today is the youngest of your life, tomorrow is never guaranteed.
There's no time like the present 😎
Doesn't get better than Maiden, Lex really gets metal and Brad seems less confused than usual. Brad needs more Iron Maiden in his life, maybe even a live video with an appearance from Edd.
This is from a great album and one of the things that I really liked about it was that Adrian Smith started singing a lot more vocals. He's not the talent that Bruce is by any measurement but I really dig how his kindof husky voice harmonizes with Bruce's .
He did lead vocals on a B Side called Reach Out
There are acres of great Maiden tracks, but this is my all time favourite 👍
This was absolutely adorable reactions ❤ and also one of my favorite rock sons
You guys should react to…
Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark
🎸🤘
LIVE version!!
Live from Rock in Rio!
you should do some live concert video of Iron Maiden. theyve got an energy on stage that lex will love...and be aware most if not all Maiden songs are usually based on history, books, poems, movies or dreams. theyre the easiest way to learn history ever
That was the most amazing comment EVER. Lex talking about how a monk feels when they do ouuuum...you spoke what I've felt my whole life.
Can honestly say this is the very track that made me an Iron Maiden fan; still one of my favourites of theirs and that whole era of metal still, kerk
First time I heard this was ‘88. I will never get over the way that guitar solo spills over into next bars.❤
Omg! I'm so glad you reacted to this song!! It's one of my favorite songs by Iron Maiden. Check out Stranger in a Strange Land. You won't be disappointed. Fantastic solo in that one too.
Yeah our Metal Maiden is back and killing it with the tee shirt game. I also saw Brad moving to that rhythmic bass session. Great review guys Iron Maiden brings out the best of you 😊
Absolutely amazing song, amazing band!
One of the most talented and hard-working bands in the music industry up the irons 🤘🖤☠️🦇💀🎸🎼🇬🇧
Maiden was in their late 20's early 30's when this song came out, pretty early in their career. This was their 6th album their 4th with Bruce Dickinson on vocals.
I'm 62 and I've heard maybe 3 Maiden songs. I am discovering them with y'all. True metal excellence.
I was in Highschool when this came out. At the time I had been listening to them for years, and thought this was them going commercialized, so I really didn't give it a chance. Later in years as my diversity in music increased, I really got to love this whole album.
This one made my day . Always enjoy your reactions
Adrian's solo IS pretty fantastic
Well said Lex. That guitar just hits the spot in such a perfect way. So inspiring. Just pure joy.
Your comments are on the point guys! 👊I like that Brad appreciates the lyrics as Steve Harris is awesome and Lex for the occasional lighter vibe that Maiden have! PS. I brought my 5 year old Nephew an Iron Maiden T-Shirt recently to others disbelief! He loves it! Booooom!!!! 💪
Love this track, one of my favorite guitar solo sections of all time. You guys should react to Infinite Dreams by Iron Maiden
Up the irons! 🤘🤘
This is off their sixth album, Somewhere in Time, from 1986. They put out their first album in 1980. Pretty sure the guys were in their early 30s
when this came out.
The official videos definitely worth checking out.
I think it's one of their best!
From the galloping bass and the layered guitar shredding to the powerful lyrics & message seems to have touched Lex fairly well! Great song, even better reaction!!
When these come to the USA you need to go and see them live. To feel the drums thumping in your chest, and the bass thumping you in the stomach. And the guitars just going through your head. Plus the show these guys put on. You will never see a finer show. Plus you'll be accepted as part of the Iron Maiden family. Try to get as close to the front as possible. You won't regret it.
You guys are a lot of fun to watch!!!Thank you!!!
The "old you" is when you were younger.
Yes. I've been waiting for this !!!
I'm with you Lex! This is one of my favorite Iron Maiden songs.....the music & lyrics together? Killer!
Fantastic song fantastic group. Keep rocking guys.🤘🤘
To me, this is an example of a perfect song. Everything fits and compliments itself. The sound is perfect, the writing is perfect, the guitar solo is perfect, the voice is perfect. This is Iron Maiden at their best. It was a genuine pleasure watching Lex's reaction and gratification she got. A true Maiden fan. EVERYONE loves Maiden. 🤘🏻
