I think this song is amazing, probably my favourite from the album. The only negative I can say about it is that it ends a bit suddenly (when Bruce says the final 'The Book Of Soooooooouls'). Love everything else about it though.
It was my first IM album so I'll always look at it through rose tinted glasses. Production isn't great though now I look back.

Here are a couple from my teenage years:
"She fell in love with his squeezy machine" - From Here to Eternity.
"We must prepare ourselves for the elephants" - Lord Of The Flies.
Hi there, first post right here!
Fear Of The Dark was the first CD album I bought. I didn't even have a proper CD player - just my Sega Mega CD, so I was listening in mono through a very old portable TV, haha! It must of been late 1993, as I was introduced to Maiden by a friend who had...
