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’.

Songs like this are why i raised my son on Iron Maiden
3 generations. Grandpas taking their kids and grandkids to Iron Maiden shows. Hell of a lot better than that filthy, disgusting garbage they mistakenly call "music" nowadays.
I don't understand why this album is so overlooked!! The more you listen deeper you get into.. Every Maiden album is unique and perfection in its on own way.. true maiden fan agree this.. Up the irons !!!
Dude, this album is absolutely great.
One of their darkest albums for sure.
It's like X Factor, incredibly overlooked.
I actually wouldn't mind if they threw in one song from this album instead of something thats overplayed like 2 minutes to midnight or run to the hills.
I LOVE this album. I know people will cringe when I say this, but this is the album that got me into Maiden. I was 13 years old and it had just come out. My favorite band, MCR, always talked about how much they loved Maiden, so I gave them a listen and I've been hooked ever since.
One of the best songs Dave Murray has written
Armin Poorfard This is actually one of MY ALL TIME FAVOURITES....SUBLIME, DAZZLING AND EVER SO TRUE.....Thank you so much Dave Murray.......
Armin Poorfard and he also wrote the spellbinding : the Nomad !!
Armin Poorfard to be honest, I really think Dave Murray should be more involved in composing, every single song he´s composed or co-composed turns out to be Golden Gems or even masterpieces, just like this one.....
For me Adrian Smith is the number one songwriter in the band and in the heavy metal history .He is a genius in songwriting. There is a reason everybody in the band is letting him to write half of the songs after Brave New World.
Armin Poorfard well he usually writes short, catchy songs but hey who writes most of their simply outstanding progressive tracks, long and brooding ??? You simply have to admit that Steve and Janick, Dave and even Bruce are more devoted writers in theese kinds of songs, and that´s the music I love the most.....truth to be told, Adrian made some incredible songs, but not many enough in my special music. ..but all is a matter of taste and opinion, don´t you agree ????
This song reached No.1 in Sweden back in 2006.
I want to move to Sweden now!
So do I, my friend hahaha
are you Finnish?
Because of your name. Your country is one of the best when it comes to Heavy Metal bands. My favorite one is Children Of Bodom!
From Finland, I really like COB, but I also like Nightwish, Lordi and Ensiferum.
It's so sad to see how underrated this song. I think it's one of the best Iron Maiden songs.
Definitely man, it's ******* explosive!!!
By far......a great song!!
The whole album is absolutely underrated and criticized. It doesn't deserve the hate it gets. I love this album and I think it is one of the best as a sound and concept!
Agree!
This is one of the top 10 Maiden songs ever...no doubt
Man, that main riff is nasty! What a hidden gem, they need to play this one on the radio more. Just bad ass, wow
NO band could ever create music, riffs, solos, guitar harmonies and phrasing, lyrics, bass lines and thunderous drums like Maiden, nor the amazing interpretations by Bruce........Iron Maiden are so superior to any other band, that it´s frightening.....they are simply A ONE OFF.....
Pretty much what I think. Iron Maiden are in a league all of their own. They are the hottest rock band of all time.
UP THE IRONS!!!
Well put no one compares. All 16 albums are pure greatness. Yes even the always overlooked Blaze Bailey albums
Agreed they are the full package, I don't care what anybody says it is simply facts lol
no
Best metal band in history
I saw them play the whole album live in Cardiff when they toured it. That was a bold move by the band. And proof that they do things their own way, regardless of what anyone thinks. Personally, I loved that gig. And I've seen them live 26 times since 1986. Can't wait for SENJUTSU in September now...UP THE IRONS FOREVER !
Wow This year is my first time seeing them. You're so lucky.
I saw them do it in Detroit. It was great.
A true Masterpiece..... Metal Gods.. 🎤🎸🎸🎸🥁🔥👊💪
I love this song and the album is fantastic.
Jules B exactly my opinion....Theese guys really create music beyond the borders of music....Their brilliant melodic tunes, their mindblowing lyrics.....What else do you need, or want ?
Damn that riff is so good. One of the best heavy metal songs of all time.
lewisevander for me it´s an outstanding song, like most of the songs from that particular album....
Easily
It makes your skin crawl n tingle
Reminds me Accept
I would argue this is, hands-down, the best, most complete modern-era Maiden Album. Every song can stand on its own. Love this album!!
Imagine being in a band where you can play for two and a half hours every night, and have no hope of getting through even 2% of all the songs your fans are dying to hear live. This isn't even an important Iron Maiden song - it never makes the setlist and it probably never will again - and yet it's still more epic than the very best output most bands have had.
They pack out arenas around the world decades after their inception, but when's the last time you heard them on the radio or saw them on television?
This is the dream of every great artist.
I hate iron maiden... and still go to all of their concerts if they come near where i am. Incredible band live, i respect that.
@@leredditcommander8208 lol
@@dmitridostoyevski They put a great show my man, i love nicko, but bruce dickinson is the worst... "scream for me" every 39 seconds
@@leredditcommander8208 I want to golf with Nicko
@@dmitridostoyevski nice man, i got his signature 😎
For me this was my favorite maiden album of the "reincarnated" era. This album is amazing, it's in my top 5 of all Maiden albums.. The writing and musicality on this is so deep and epic. Never gets old and not one bad song..
If I'd never heard Maiden, this would be my favourite song. However, I've been a Maiden fan all my life so choosing favourites now is impossible. Thanks guys for all the joy.
Choosing a single maiden song as ur favourite is tough.
So true!
Yes this album is so overlooked and is one of the greatest in this century...UP THE IRONS
Jure Kepic Really? I think pretty much anyone who knows anything about Maiden knows that this album is one of their best.
Yes steveb0503 you are absollutly right it's one of the best Maiden album
Everybody: What's your favorite Maiden song?
Me: Yes.
I agree,,,
There's too many favorites,, I pick a song for the day I live. Everyday.
Exactly! :D
@@michaeldondero9391 i just listen trough the whole discography time to time
All of 'em!.
7 minute long songs are the best. This, Fade to Black, and Cemetery Gates speak to me on a different level.
Agree , but in case of cemetery gates i put "a question of heaven" from iced earth
Something quite special with the guitar riff at the start to the first minute in, I've never heard as good a sound in my entire life
I got some good news for you, Iron Maiden has a lot of those, 7 minute long songs that is
I think this is one of Maiden's greatest songs. The album A Matter of Life and Death is underrated. It's definitely one of Maiden's darkest albums due to its theme and more progressive songs. One of their most important latter-day albums and one of my favorites. This song is brilliant!
when I bought it I spent the next 3 days in a musical wonderland
Underrated by who ?
AMOLAD is probably the most popular Maiden album released after BNW, and many consider it one of their best, at least, their best of the "Bruce II" era.
For me, their best album ever!@@Debiruman1666
Maiden know exactly how to end up a tempo and change it with smoothness
Francis Picotte Asolutely, I couldn´t agree more, even if I tried..........
Just listened to A Matter of Life and Death in full. Jeez, what an absolute fucking monster of an album. FANTASTIC
Steve Harris and Geddy Lee got me to pick up the Bass Guitar and not be afraid to shred on it.
Two of the most underrated but most influential bass players in the history of heavy music. Great shit! 🤘
Up the Irons!
the best band ever
joel palacios soto Iron Maiden is second to none, absolutely none..
This entire album is underrated!
This CD is what me back into Maiden after years of not following them.
I agree BUT the issue I've always had is that the songs tend to blend in to oen another when listening to the whole album. There's some absolute BEAST tracks though: Colours Don't Run, Longest Day, Dofferent World for example
@@JBrown_Triviummaybe that is by design? Probably my favorite Maiden album but I might say that about all their albums!😂😂
When this album was released, I remember that all the fans were upset, they didn't like it. I went to the concert in Milano and it was amazing, I was overwhelmed!
Essatto. I didn't like it much when it was released, but I don't know why. The more I listen to this album, the more I hear the Maiden crush. Idk how to explain...
Up the irons
senjutsu is terrible
@@gazelliott2414 Lol, the cycle keeps on going...
Epic Song
5:32 Murray's Guitars sound like heaven
CrowleyRhoads can’t agree more ... and so does Adrian Smith’s !!
CrowleyRhoads correction, this band has a Dream Team of guitarists, ALL of them are simply virtuosos.....
Omg yes .... eargasm i agree 100
Fuxk yeah and all of em just killed it! well that's not even surprising tbh coz that's what? these guy's does for a living, killing shit!
Dave was the one who inspired me to pick the guitar up and learn. Thanx, Dave!!
Great song, great album...
Let me tell you about my life, 1982 Mom shipped me out at the age of 12 to live with asshole guardian parents I never knew. I went through hell with these people. No one save for this hell. I was the reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg. What did I do to deserve all this guilt. The burden of them won’t take me down, both are gone here I am 51 in 2020. Thank you Iron Maiden for your music formed in 1975. My favourite band in my life.
This song is amazing. The whole album is fantastic!
Discovered it 15 day ago, instantly in my top 5 iron maiden song.
Lyrics:
Let me tell you 'bout my life
Let me tell you 'bout my dreams
Let me tell you 'bout the things that happened
Always real to me
Let me tell you of my hope
Of my need to reach the sky
Let me take you on an awkward journey
Let me tell you why
Let me tell you why
Why should these curses be laid upon me?
I won't be forgiven 'till I can break free
What did I do to deserve all this guilt?
Paid for my sins, for the sale of my soul
Demons are trapped all inside of my head
My hopes are gone, reach for Heaven from Hell
My sins are many
My guilt is too heavy
The pressure of knowing
Of hiding what I know
I'm able to see things
Things I don't want to see
The lives of a thousand souls
Weigh heavy down on me
I know they're crying for help, reaching out
The burden of them will take me down as well
The sin of a thousand souls not died in vain
Reincarnation of me
Live again
Someone to save me
Something to save me from myself
To bring salvation
To exorcise this Hell
Someone to save me
Something to save me from myself
To bring salvation
To exorcise this Hell
Someone to save me
Something to save me from my Hell
A destination away from this nightmare
Someone to save me
Something to save me from myself
To bring salvation
To exorcise this Hell
Thank you!
Me encanta esta canción, uno de los mejores solos de Dave Murray.

This IS Eddie ... Eddie is Benjamín .
@@geraldinecolonia3147 Hi. Can I ask you what the source of this information is? Or is it your opinion? I'm kinda mad at this invented story Harris made up.
Praise to those who put lyrics comments
@@geraldinecolonia3147I don't think so, it's said that Benjamin have seen some Demons that looked like Eddie in his nightmares
Since the 80s albums and the Brave new world entire album this is by far my favorite song from them in the last 20 years absolutely love it!
Still listening to this incredible song en 2021. I really love it.
The best song in a matter of life and death
The DIVINITY is true.....this song is almost too good, the unique melodic mix of guitar harmonies, solos and the outstanding heavy riffs, thunderous drums, climbing bass line and the emotional and powerful voice of Bruce takes you to EUPHORIA..........FAR beyond......INCREDIBLE and UTTER GENIUS.........thank you Dave !!
Seriously, how can someone come up with that solo? I get goosebumps every single time I listen to it.
This maiden song rocks
GOD BLESS MAIDEN!!!
Saved my life many times.
UP THE IRONS!!!!
✨🎶🤘🙏🤘🎶✨
One of the greatest band in the world. Damn heaviest metal song and heavy riffs
That opening sequence will always give me chills.
Dave Murray is FANTASTIC !! Your Felling is Amazing!!
FABIANO CARINI I really think he should be more involved in the composing, his songs always turns out to be Golden Gems, or even masterpieces, just like this one !!!
A Matter of Life and Death will be forever my favorite Iron Maiden album.
Best intro 2000-2015
Manuel Calderon one of them, but since the BNW album, most of their amazing songs starts with a gentle soft intro...
I wanted this on Legacy tour more- my Favorite
ONE of their most powerful songs....the epic intro, brilliant guitar work, dazzling lyrics, driven dynamic bass and THE RIFF.....a song that grabs a hold of your heart and soul INSTANTLY and never let it go..............PLEASE, please Dave Murray give us more infernal masterpieces.....
One of my favorite Maiden tunes.
The rhythm section is so heavy and plows along like a runaway train.
Esta cancion es una verdadera joya. Te transporta a un mundo, en el que no muchos tienen la dicha de estar, cada frase, de cada letra es como un echizo que nos hace ver en realidad quienes somos. Asi considero esta belleza de cancion.
I wish we could see this song live again (even though I saw it live on the matter of life and death world tour back in 07) ... depressing yet so aggressive and refreshing exceptional!
Yup, I saw them in Cardiff on that tour too. And 25 other times since 1986.
This is one of the best music that express the 3 guitar tones and harmony from Maiden.
The most brilliant part of this song is the character of Benjamin Breeg, who I always thought was some historical figure I just didn't know about. After looking into it however I realized it was a made up character by Iron Maiden themselves to give this song more mystique. Regardless, it's still 1 of my favorite Iron Maiden songs of all time.
Yeah, I was wondering too, now I love Benjamin
The story is amazing
It’s difficult to write and play an outro to any song. The outro to this song is exemplary. Holding that note for that long and then the deep dive at the end is unbelievable
This CD is such a masterpiece, an unbelievable great follow up to the wonderful Dance of Death...The back to back "Death" albums are my two favorites from the greatest metal band of all time.
Exactly!!!
There are no words, no other band sound like them or can emanate their utter brilliance, Iron Maiden are simply outstanding!
A man born on September 3rd, 1939 in London, who dissapeared mysteriously in 1978, unfound to this day. His parents were killed in a house fire when he was young, but he somehow escaped unharmed. He was then taken into orphanages, and when he was 10, he began to have horrific nightmares. He later painted his visions, and showed them to very few people, and the paintings were reportedly quite disturbing. None of these paintings exist today, and it is believed that Breeg destroyed them himself. He has gained notoriety through the song "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" by Iron Maiden, from their forthcoming 2006 album "A Matter of Life and Death".
That's the story behind this song? Woah.
tonci vukovic is that true?? where did you get this info??
Davide Cordioli - on Wikipedia
1 painting does exist, its at the end of the video, I did some digging & wiki is wrong. The real story has to do w/ Derik Riggs. Inbox me for more info \m/
it's a biography of a fictional character created by the band. it's on wikipedia.
Theory: This song is about Eddie (The band's mascot) and how he became what he is. He was somehow cursed to be undead and constantly be reincarnated into different versions of himself throughout all of time. "The demons in his head" caused him to lose his mind and memories of who he once was, turning him into the being we now know as Eddie.
That's a good theory.
maybe is the real Eddie, the soldier who was beheaded in the vietnam war, That poor guy was a inspiration for EDDIE
I like it.
I like this theory! \,,/\,,/
I still remember when this song came out. I was 15 and had downloaded it on a website from Maiden fans and put it on my Ipod. Time flies, 14 years ago holy shit
the first metal song I ever headbanged to!
One of the most underrated track of Maiden , but my fav
My favorite song from that album
Fantastic song and a great album!!!
Like most stuff from Maiden, it takes time to appreciate their music....and let it sink in 🤘🤘🤘 the more you listen the better it gets!!!
Best Metal Rock Band ever...
This song is SOOO overlooked. It's baffling. This should be in their setlist every tour.
0ne of the most under-rated
IRON MAIDEN albums....such an amazing album* and live in full was Awesome😈🤘
.....UP THE IRONS!
😈LEGACY OF THE BEAST 2018😈
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🍺
In my opinion it’s their best album
One of maidens best songs ever
nickos drumiing on this lp is one one of the best ever
Un des meilleurs titres du groupe ... Masterpiece !!!!
When i first played DOOM back in the day i always imagined Bruce as Doom-Guy.
💜 I love Steve Harris. He's looking so pretty in this video 🖤
maiden is not just a band its a generation of legends!!
