Because of the weak chorus, 'These Colours Don't Run' does not get more than 8/10.

Re: Daily Song: These Colours Don't Run
This is the AMOLAD song that has grown the most on me over time. When the album first came out I loved it but it wasn't one of my favorites. Now over 4 years after its release it's probably my second or third favorite track on the record. Seeing it live numerous times last summer certainly helped it in that regard.
I love the intro, it's gorgeous. I love the lyrics as well. But the real highlight of the song for me is the harmony near the end. I wish it was just a tad longer though. Spellbinding that harmony is.
9/10 from me and if we could rate in decimals I'd give it a 9.5. Great, great song.

A truly fantastic chorus. Haunting opening riff and includes one of my favourite ever guitar solos - Adrian's. Dave has also mentioned that this is his favourite solo of Adrian's on AMOLAD.

9/10... This one took awhile to grow on me. It was never a tune that really blew my hair back until I saw them do it live. Bruce's powerful vocal is a highlight...

What is the Maiden Progression? Never heard the term before...Stallion Duck said:

I don't think I’ve ever said this is the band’s best song, but there are certainly times it has been my favourite. Epic in scope and power, yet never overblown or repetitive. Great opening, great vocal performance and melodies, outstanding mix of rhythms and tempos, inspiring lyrics, killer instrumental section — I struggle to find a flaw. Ten.

Re: Daily Song: These Colours Don't Run
You're a musician right? It's E C D G. It is used quite often in Maiden since most songs are in Em and they really over use it on AMOLAD, and the intro verse prechorus and chorus all use that progression. It is very repetitive.taker64 said:

This is a beautiful song, with an amazing intro, a stunning instrumental section and a wonderful vocal melody. I can relate to what Bruce said about it on the last tour, this being a song about a warrior and being a warrior does not mean that you have to fight and kill other people, but it means "never giving up". I think the lyrics are great, and to me the key to the meaning has always been the first line: "It's the same in every country when you say you're leaving".
Somehow, I always feel the intro to this song is the intro to the album proper, with Different World being merely a prologue. As such, this is an early strong point on an album that is a highlight in itself. 9/10.

Re: Daily Song: These Colours Don't Run
What? Since when? They've used that recently, but The Maiden Progression is E C D E. Always has been. Look at Trooper, Hallowed, Aces High. I VI VII I has been the Maiden trademark for decades.
Fuckin' younguns these days, no respect for history.
