a song i regularly skip. Ive never been a fan of the melancholy feel, it doesnt captivate me enough in its instumental or presentation to get past how sad it sounds and how i feel it lacks content. 5/10
8/10 It's a strange one. Maiden with a case of the Floyds? Beautiful guitar playing, similar in feel to the playing on parts of 'Still Life' and 'Powerslave'.
'STRANGE WORLD' is probably my most favorite of all Maiden tracks. Followed closely by another great in, 'Remember Tomorrow'.
8/10. As noted previously in this thread, the most Pink Floyd-esque song Maiden have ever done. Great performance from Paul, and a uniquely melancholic feel to the song.
On Paul Day's website: 1975 : Iron Maiden At the age of 19, I had an opportunity to sing with “Iron Maiden”. This was my first real band, as my only other experience came from singing with friends in bedrooms and backyards. In the newly formed “Iron Maiden” I wrote my first song, – “Strange World” (unaccredited) which was included years later on their first album – simply called “Iron Maiden”.
