I am pretty skeptical of that song honestly. I would love to be proven wrong but every description Bruce has given of it has made me think it's not something I really am going to enjoy "stream of consciousness lyrics", "one take vocal", etc. It gives me pretty heavy Pass the Jam vibes actually. We'll see though, I'm very much looking forward to the entire album.
Well ofc, but I don't think it will be a weak or uninteresting song. And it was written in the 90's, though probably different and half the length. Something different like Empire would be great, with classical playing from Roy. Maybe even without a proper chorus. I only don't want the song to be slow for 10 minutes. I don't really know what to expect from it (given its length too), but I do expect some acoustic parts. I have my concerns about the ''one-take'' vocal approach and overall about the song given some comments from Bruce, but it could be good (and special), we'll see. He teased it as a very emotional and a bit different song.
Wow.
Most likely in a very different form though. Even more acoustic-oriented I guess, different lyrics.
The music and the serious vocals are nice. Like for a bonus song.
It was originally called Pendragon's Tears and probably quite different to the current iteration. Around SIT Bruce presented mostly acoustic numbers, which was a direction Maiden didn't want to go in. Run Silent Run Deep was originally presented during that time as well, but got rejected, reworked and then landed on NPFTD as we know it today.
The fuck? You cut it in half and scoop it out with a spoon. Nothing’s wasted. Jesus Christ.
