Dedicated to my Dad, who passed away this morning. Iron Maiden was his all time favorite.
🤟
Rock on...
I hear you. My uncle today... sorry for your loss as well.
Wish you the best. I know losing your parents is hard!
R.I.P. to your father
I showed my five year-old cousin this song and other maiden songs, and she loves them. I feel like I'm doing my part in bettering society.
Keep doing God's work m8
Society won't change because of what type of music your cousin listens to.
Seek sunlight.

When I was little, my Dad would fly me around the house to this song. He ain't dead or nothin'. I just wanted to tell everyone how awesome my Dad was, and still is cause today is his birthday! Love you, Dad!🤘🎉
That really is one awesome dad!!!
Happy birthday to him(sorry I am kinda late)
Up the Irons!
Bloody good man your dad. Xxx
@@CalebUploads Eddie would be proud
We continue listening to this great song in 2024!
Hell, yeah.
Sim, há 41 anos.
Remember when Iron Maiden was good?
Oh wait, it is still good and always has been.
only band from that era still making great music!
No, There are actually plenty of others! Metal up your ass and have a good day sir!
For one moment i was triggered, but then i was fine with your comment😃😃
you corrected your mistake fast enough to stay alive, comrade
Bit of an understatement, but yes
Iron Maiden has the best Metal vocalist ever
one of the best bassists of all time
two amazing guitarists
and a fabulous drummer.
Perfect band.
I will bury you apart from the fact that they're all self-centered assholes
+TehWunTehOnly why do you say that?
Ein Walroß Steve Harris
Halford is a million x better and as well as Di'ano
They have 3 amazing guitarists
My favorite Maiden song. Makes me feel like I have no limits.
So it reinforces the truth
His father betrayed... so meaningful ❤
... whatch out the sun, bro...😄💪💪💪🖐️
The irony of this comment pleases me greatly
This is one of mine
This song inspired me to come out of my depression and ever since then as the song says, I fly as the sun
Rock on brother! keep grinding.
It inspired me to get out of a sticky situation as a lot associate at big orange. I have much more potential in the trades, and just wasn't tapped in right by them.
Keep you're head up Spider-alpha! Fly as high as the sun. Depression is difficult but when you defeat it, and you will- you'll see things clearer than you ever have. Best to you
Great song
As long as you remember that Icarus flew too close to the sun and it burned his wings..
My god what a riff, vocals, solo, ending. This is one of the greatest Maiden songs that I've ever heard
the 90s period was barren not because Bruce left but because Adrian left. Steve is a great songwriter but it became stale imo. Adrian is just brilliant!
And the awesome groove
I consider it one of Maiden's classic tracks.
@@christschinwon In a small way you're right. The twin harmonies perfected by Smith and Murray were gone and Gers is utter rubbish, I'm sorry....He is even terrible to look at live. But the main thing was Harris going into depression. I couldn´t say for sure he needed help as such, but you can tell; even with Fear of the dark, it just got very dark and gloomy. Lyrics, music, the lot. With the X-factor it was then all too evident. There's even a suicide song in there. And the restrictions with Bayley on vocals were the last straw...He was terrible. And no ! I am not comparing him, nor his range or none of that. He is plain terrible, period ! I wish they could have been able to sack Gers with the return of Smith and be great again...But after a brilliant Brave new world......It's like a nightmare. We're just happy they're still with us but my God they've pulled some ugly ones ever since
I agree
I’m 47 years old and have been listening to this song since it came out and I still get goose bumps when that chorus kicks in. It has to be the most perfect chorus in the history of metal.
❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️💝💘💖
Same!
I'm 52 and I have been listening too this since it came out also
I'm 65, and feel the same.
As the sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still
His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze
Fly on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun, yeah
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father, I fly
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes, to ashes his grave
Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun
Yeah, fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly!
Fly as high as the sun
Really??, a One Direction fan on a Iron Maiden song!?!?!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Who th fu*k is giving this a thumbs down?
This is metal brilliance.
Fuckin Idiots!!!
The most ignorant among us.
Idiots pure dumbasses who don’t know history
fucking idiots who think this masterpiece is trash, trash is what they have in their brains
What Kenny said.
No falsetto. Dickinson reaching the higher notes with head voice. That´s amazing !
Definitely one of the more underrated vocalists of his generation.
So very true! He hit over 90 percent of his high notes in head voice!
I can genuinely sing this...an octave down.
Bruce's natural range is incredible.
Chris Luciani all of them
Now that I was 5 years old I listen that song
Icarus flew too close to the Sun and paid it with his life. A cautionary tale. Beautifully done. Up the Irons!
I always thought that myself. And that's usually how it's framed. However, beyond the actual myth and the usual commentary, I believe Iron Maiden made a song that is aspirational. The dream of flight and of flying, higher and higher.
with whom Icarus was flying?
@@user-xr1go2ke8s Icarus's father was Daedelus, who constructed wings made of wax for his son, but warned him not to fly too high. Icarus did not listen, flew into the sun and paid with his life. It's a Greek myth, basically warning childern to listen to their parents.
The myth of Daedalus and Icarus is one of the most known and fascinating Greek Myths, as it consists of both historical and mythical details.
While in Crete Daedalus created the plan for the Minoan Palace of Knossos, one of the most important archaeological sites in Crete and Greece today. It was a magnificent architectural design and building, of 1,300 rooms, decorated with stunning frescoes and artifacts, saved until today. The sculpture of Ariadne in Knossos and many others in Elounda and Karia are also his.
King Minos and Daedalus had great understanding at first, but their relationships started deteriorating at some point; there are several versions explaining this sudden change, although the most common one is that Daedalus was the one who advised Princess Ariadne to give Theseus the thread that helped him come out from the infamous Labyrinth, after killing the Minotaur.
The Labyrinth was a maze built by Daedalus; King Minos wanted a building suitable to imprison the mythical monster Minotaur, and according to the myth, he used to imprison his enemies in the labyrinth, making sure that they would be killed by the monster.
Minos was infuriated when found out about the betrayal and imprisoned Daedalus and his son Icarus in the Labyrinth.
The flight of Daedalus and Icarus
daedalus and icarus with wax wingsIcarus was the young son of Daedalus and Nafsicrate, one of King Minos’ servants. Daedalus was way too smart and inventive, thus, he started thinking how he and Icarus would escape the Labyrinth. Knowing that his architectural creation was too complicated, he figured out that they could not come out on foot. He also knew that the shores of Crete were perfectly guarded, thus, they would not be able to escape by sea either. The only way left was the air.
Daedalus managed to create gigantic wings, using branches of osier and connected them with wax. He taught Icarus how to fly, but told him to keep away from the sun because the heat would make the wax melt, destroying the wings.
Daedalus and Icarus managed to escape the Labyrinth and flew to the sky, free. The flight of Daedalus and Icarus was the first time that man managed to fight the laws of nature and beat gravity.
Icarus death
Although he was warned, Icarus was too young and too enthusiastic about flying. He got excited by the thrill of flying and carried away by the amazing feeling of freedom and started flying high to salute the sun, diving low to the sea, and then up high again.
His father Daedalus was trying in vain to make young Icarus to understand that his behavior was dangerous, and Icarus soon saw his wings melting.
Icarus fell into the sea and drowned. The Icarian Sea, where he fell, was named after him and there is also a nearby small island called Icaria.
The Minotaur represented the theoastrologic era of Tauras the bull. When that age was over, those that killed the bull such as Perseus, Mithras, or Moses destroying the golden calf (again a symbol of Tauras) gained supremacy for the next astrological epoch, that of Aries the war god.
@@GeneTrujillo Greek mythology its more myth history than myths.
Fucking awesome....thank you for the post...I myself think it's more fact than fiction due to my belief in the fallen angels and nephilim that ruled th pre flood world
Thanks Wikipedia.
Daedalus built the maze for minos and the main reason for Icarus death is the human hybris.
The song you play when you’re flying to space....
Hell yeah
you are playing avengers arent you? That segment brought me back to my late brother showing me what real music sounds like.
That scene gave me chills!
Bruh. When that song began playing, when Tony flew the space suit for the first time. I freaked out so hard that I failed the mission five times in a row and had to pretend I wasn't hearing it just to pass it lmao!!!!
Iron Man needed the boost!
My 60 year old Aunt never heard Maiden before, i went on a car ride with her and half way through the song, she was singing the chorus out loud. Maiden 4 life, Up the Irons forever!!!
Jozef-D Play Powerslave, Wasted Years, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, Alexander The Great, Be Quick Or Be Dead, Fear Of The Dark, Wasted Love, or Heaven Can Wait for her.
+Jozef-D Yessss! It is pretty damn infectious, you know?
Hell yeah!!!
That's the best thing I heard today.....after learning Maiden is touring the States next summer. YES!
That is awesome
No other band could make me change my favorite song on a daily basis. Only Maiden.
Bill Smith, eagle fly free is a f#cking good song of helloween.✌
Edwin Gutiérrez I like Helloween but none can best Maiden.
I know right! One day, Die With Your Boots On is my favorite, then it switches to Powerslave and then some other song like Where Eagles Dare.
Zhedox Childhood's End today. It's crazy.
My favourite song have shifted between infinite dreams and how many tears by helloween for over a year.
I've the one to take my daughter to daycare and eventually pre-K all the way up until she was in the 5th grade and every morning on our drive to school she made me play this song all the way there and if I was off work and picked her up after school she wanted this song!! I miss those days terribly but, Iron Maiden gave me wonderful memories and feeling proud that she loves Maiden as much as I do. Now she's 20 and a great kid. Never ever has she done anything wrong
Oh nice. You should be proud of her.
Two thumbs up Shawn !!
Saw Maiden several times back in the 80s. Incredible experience every time.
My daughter learned more about Icarus from this song then she did in high school...and she got exposed to REAL MUSIC too. Proud of her and you should be proud of yours too ! I have one of the only teenage daughters around who listens to Maiden, AC/DC, and Dio even though most of her friends listen to the latest garbage coming out of the music industry...
I miss when music actually had meaning.
Awesome dad u r
Iron Man flying to space while rocking on Iron Maiden. The greatest part of the game
Only found this out now and now I wanna play the game lol
Still remember watching this on MTV back in 1983. Sounds great as ever.
MTV sucks now.
Is this video the first with the current one? Yanick Gers?
@@chrishager3308 No, not even close. This was 1983 and they were shooting this video while recording Piece Of Mind.
With most metal bands I listen to the guitars first, but with Maiden I listen to the bass. Steve Harris is just sick.
Rich Harris Steve is the best bass player to date....under rated for sure....Up the Irons Rich!!!!

In my 4th grade, Flight of Icarus was a part of my English literature course. It was a fascinating story partly because my English teacher was good at narrating. Imagine my surprise when Iron Maiden, the British heavy metal band, singing that chapter from my textbook, featured in one of their best album. I’ve been fan girling Iron Maiden ever since.
No fuckin shit awesome
Metal head from way back. They inspired me when I had to do a report in history class many years ago -Alexander the Great. Got a B plus. Up the irons!
You had a Cool teacher.
@@blaineb4432 that’s awesome. 🤘😎
@@kennyhall2118 yes, he was.
'Flight of Icarus' (Smith / Dickinson) ... The ancient Greek legend ... Brought to life ... Genius
Not quite the Greek tale but Iron Maiden’s version
" IN THE NAME OF GOD MY FATHER I'LL FLY!" best metal line ever!
Iron Shadow name it then !
I love this band I'm twelve my dad showed me them two years ago
Stephen Brish-Vinanskie listen to first album w/ Paul dianno on vocals and Clive burr on drums
Dave H OK cool, thanks
from the same band, I would go with this part of the song, from Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
"One after one by the star dogged moon,
too quick for groan or sigh
each turned his face with a ghastly pang
and cursed me with his eye
four times fifty living men
(and I heard nor sigh nor groan)
with heavy thump, a lifeless lump,
they dropped down one by one."
I love Bruce Dickinson's voice. It's like he's a viking commanding an army to go to war.
Great simil.
Tanner Sandell hell yes! Great analogy. Definitely the best vocalist in rock and roll period. Although I believe that Rob Halford and Freddie Mercury are a close second and third, but my heart will always belong to Bruce 😍😍😍
Ever heard black metal?
Tanner Sandell oh I agree
Tanner Sandell 100% right on the money there!!
Bruce’s all-time greatest performance.
I'd put Hallowed be Thy Name ahead of Icarus.
This what a band of professional rockers sounds like. Not all doped up and strung out. They took their craft seriously. Sure, they enjoyed an occasional pint, but nothing like what their contemporaries were doing. Flight of Icarus is their best song because they slowed down the tempo just a bit and really made the melody and lyrics accessible. And those lyrics...genius.
I would agree 💯
You ever try Iron Maidens Trooper Ale, it's effin delicious.
@@Sigma1_969 Better by the case Robinsons do a great 12 set, absolutely delicious!

You are not wrong
My teacher Latin played this song after we read Ovidius' story about Daedalus and Icarus.
One of the best days in my life!
jagoeman a
jagoeman that is a very cool teacher!
Good you still have Latin classes. Is this university or school?
Had your teacher long hair by any chance cause he sure was one hell of a teacher
Mine too😂
In the name of God, my father, I’ll fly!
I love the way Maiden take old stories and myths and turn them into songs. "Flight Of Icarus" was the first Iron Maiden single featuring drummer Nicko McBrain, who replaced Clive Burr.
There's a story that part of Nicko's induction into the band was having to appear in this music video as the cowled figure with his face entirely covered in blue makeup. Because he was prepared to park his ego and do it, the band knew he was a solid addition.
God, those solos are awesome!
But Bruce last screams are simply sick! One of the best albums ever made.
+Júlio Luiz The sound of PoM is just so chunky, organic, warm, youthful and confident!
+Júlio Luiz My favorite album of all time
+Júlio Luiz Especially this bit from 3:01
their best album by far
This was the very first metal song I ever heard. I knew I was listening to something special and I've held on to it, even to this day. I will keep listening until I'm dead.
Good song to die to charging into certain death.
@@Koreryn A battle song...yeah
Dickinson’s voice is incredible
Correct watch a documentary manager told him scream he didnt really appreciate that until later i suppose all the fame and vocal praise helped
I can lost everything in my life. But I’ll never lost the feeling of hearing iron maiden and having the goosebumps.
As the sun breaks, above the ground,
An old man stands on the hill,
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still.
His eyes are ablazed,
See the madman in his gaze.
Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly touch the sun.
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly.
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream,
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave.
Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly touch the sun!♫

Bruce Hell , thats All Steve
most certainly. i can listen to all of IMs songs (except the ones with blaze, for some reason his voice just doesnt appeal to me) and always appreciate that i can see it as its being sung. another great example is Aces High.
Then I strongly suggest that you read his biography. He tells his own story so brilliantly that I didn't want the book to end. 😎

The memories this song brings back. It's about time Maiden has a presence on CZcams. I wish them all the best with the new album. If it is as good as their old stuff we will have a new generation of baby Maidens without a doubt.
So awesome I love maiden I'm 55 now but this never gets old

I'm 47 & loved Maiden since I was 11, due to too much alcohol I set my self on fire by trying to light a filter tip thinking it was a roll up, after 6 weeks in intensive care, I woke up & this was the first song I listened to.
Be more carefull buddy we love you🤗
@@brnrik500 Thanks!
I was 13 when this came out. I'm 47 now, and rest assured I still love this as much as then, with the same energy.
Same with me!
And me.
same age too. Didn't get into them until 1988 - just missed out on monsters of rock gig (reputedly the best one ever!)
Same here
Ouallah?
Who the hell disliked this!?
Please look up the sky, spit, and wait a second.
🤣
Saw these guys live 6 times in the 80's and 90's. Still sound better after all these years than any "band" today. UP THE IRONS
saw them last week. still as good as ever. closing the set with aces high. legends.
I saw them live in the early '80's...twice. I've been to hundreds of concerts since . None better
I'm not even fucking joking, when this song began playing in Marvel's Avengers, I freaked out so fucking hard I failed the mission five times in a row due to how hard I was fanboying, and had to mute the TV just to be able to pass it lol.

Once upon a time, Icarus and his father Daidalus went to Creta a southern island of Greece, there they helped king Minoas with building him the labirynth. After this king Minoas imprisoned them in a cave on a rock 100m high. After days they decided to escape but falling in the sea is very dangerous then a seagull appeared and one of his feathers drooped on the feet of Daidalus then he understand that he and his son must not swim but fly across the sea. After weeks they constructed their wings with fallen feathers and melten candles and then they fell of the cliff and flyied Daidalus told to his son not to fly very low because the sea will wet his wings and those will be heavy and then he will fall to the sea,also he told him not to fly very high because the sunwill melt the candles and he will fal in the sea. After some journey flying Icarus decided to fly higher because he wanted to touch the sun but the sun melted his wings and he falled in sea his father searched for him upon the sea when his son had fell but he couldnt found him, the dea that Icarus has fallen has named the Icariam Sea and from there Icarus spirit can continue his Flight Of Icarus

We all love you iron maiden...
I remember the day I heard and saw this on MTV in 1983 for the very first time... from that day forward it was MAIDEN for LIFE!
I'm 35 years old, this song has a special place in my heart because it was where my fascination with Iron Maiden began 17 years ago
Must be getting old, I was 17 when this came out and became a massive fan especially after listening to my cousins copy of Number of the Beast album. Their best era by a mile.
@@topcat4759 I know this song was released much earlier but what I meant was that this song was the first IM I ever listened to and that's where I started my IM adventure
@monjan3922 you made a good choice of metal band. Not sure if you are from the US or Britain but if you have not already watched it their Live after Death video from Long Beach California in 1985 is certainly worth a look if you like their older stuff, or Rock in Rio is classic. Saw them live back in the '90's and Steve Harris actually came into our local rock club for a beer after the gig, thought I had had too much to drink when I saw him at the bar about ten feet away. Number of the Beast album one of the best metal albums of all time.
If Maiden dies,i'll die with them...Best band ever!
The day that I'm going to die I just hope that on the other side I can continue to listen to Iron Maiden.

Knockin’ on 40 years! This song and band have stood the test of time. Maiden = Metal.
I live on Maui... I grew up in Texas listening to this awesome music and im still enjoying the beast Maiden England....many heartfelt mahalos! Bruce; one of the most classic set of pipes in music in my humble opinion.
I remember when piece of mind was released, I was 13 years old and this album blew my mind, I've been a Maiden fan ever since 83. Finally got to see them live at the Tacoma dome here where I live in Washington, it was in 2016 and they literally blew the roof off and sounded phenomenal and amazing!

And man ! They have a lot to choose from
But it was a certain time and place that brings me a lot of memories.. i will love this song forever .. 18 yrs old then .. 59 now
Remember being 15 when this came out and was blown away and knowing metal would rule my world for decades to come
thank you Mom and Dad for sticking me in front of the TV when MTV kicked ass watching these videos again explains alot
Iron Maiden thank you guys for your songs, it's very moving. I had a sister but she passed on two years ago, man she had love you guys. Mainly she was United States ARMY. And I proud to say I am a NATIVE AMERICAN. Thank you, Everytime when I hear your music it reminds of her.😔
Maiden moved me to tears when they played this in Belmont, NY back in October 2022. It was a transformative evening and the most overwhelmingly spectacular thing I have ever experienced.
As the sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light

Absolute brilliance from Iron Maiden. Vocals, bass, guitar, drums. lyrics, melody. Up the Irons!
The harmonies during the chorus elevate this beyond the average metal song
As a Greek , i approve of this song.

Or Sabaton...
The last 11 seconds are the best vocals ever recorded.
Thank you boys!!☺️🥰
The solo in this song is absolutely phenomenal as is the bassline, riff, voice. One of my favourites from Iron Maiden!
You will say the twin-guitar solos.
