The Loneliness of Two Distance Runners

Dramatis Personae
F: Me
Z: Zare

Act 1, Scene 1
In agony F gazes at the development in the Iron Maiden survivor topic. In an attempt to relieve his pain, he decides to turn to Zare.

F: Zare. We are soulmates.
Z: Eh? Foro, are you nuts? We’ve had some very hotheaded discussions in the past. About Russia, Kosovo, and -speaking of soulmates- also about homosexuality, remember?! Tsshhh, soulmates. Yuck, sod off!

*long silence*

F: That’s true. But there’s something else. And that’s why we are still soulmates.
Z: Yes?
F: Yes. It’s more important than those issues.
Z: Speak up, what is it?
F: From all members of this Maidenfans forum, we like “Somewhere in Time” the most.
Z: Ahh yes! That’s indeed more important.
F: Yes.

Act 1, Scene 2
Z plays Sea of Madness

Z: I am playing Sea of Madness now.
F: You are? Cool. Me too.

F plays Sea of Madness. He hums in a rather depressive tone: “..my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave ..“

Later again: “..The sun don't shine on the sea of madness”...

Act 1, Scene 3
Z: Let’s hope they eliminate it soon in that Survivor topic.
F: Indeed. We have to get on with our lives. Somehow.
Z: Sure thing.
F: Well, it was nice talking to you.
Z: Yep. Same here. Bye bye!
F: Thanks, Zare. It’s good to have a soulmate in these hard times.

F starts humming again –now more happily- “..Out in the dark there burns a dream…”

Dude!! And I was wondering from where it was this lyric in Zare's signature 

Whaa...!  That's it!  You're fired No.5.  No more IMF for you. 

I cannot believe how people around these forums don't like Somewhere In Time. And i cannot believe how even Maiden avoids it...

Actually, i don't have any negative regards towards you, at all...for that matter, i consider you a very intelligent person.

Maybe you should play SiT a couple more times

Me too.  That's the main reason I did not like the past 'History Tour'.

Excuse : He has not put the O-ooos in his signature 

Yet, Sea of Madness was my favourite song somewhen in 1987...
I was crazy about it, but as I just had the cassette version, so I never noticed the lyrics. (I purchased the vinyl some years later)
During the last 20 -long- years I've probably listened to it only once, maybe in 2006 after a Lib's suggestion in French Forum

Ehh, this topic was meant to relieve the pain. Please don't make it worse.

  Didn't I make it better ? 

By saying you played it once or twice in the last 20 years?

Not really.

You have to admit though No.5 did make it sound funny. 

















Seriously though, go listen to SIT NOW!!!
I did all yesterday as I was painting.

I know he meant well.

Thanks guys! I'm playing the whole album now *...safe as any soul can be...honestly*

The drumming is really a killer in this album 

Yes.  So is the bass and the "airy" guitars.

The production is genius as well.... The problem with SIT is the compositions; Nos 1,3,4 & 7 are 'skippers'
