Wildest Dreams

This was actually written by Steve Harris. It was inspired by Steve Harris's divorce from his wife Lorraine in 1993. He wrote this song like "Fuck you, I don't need your shit, I'll be just fine without you." AWESOME!

I think it's about going out and doing your own thing, not to follow the well trodden path.

It seems to describe how he felt as a kid, dreaming about becoming a rock star. He wanted to break away from the regular people and become a star, he wanted to break the mold. This song has great lyrics but the music isn't as good as many Maiden songs.

I'm not sure who wrote the song, but I believe it was Bruce.

Live your dreams...dont let your illusions fill your head with dreams...

This song stuck in my head and pissed me off. Now, I know the name of it so I can buy the album. So I can get it stuck in my head again. or something.

I love this song, it's a great opener. I love the:

" When I remember back to how that things just used to be And I was stuck inside a shroud of misery I felt I'd disappeared so deep inside myself I couldn't find a way to break away my hell

When I'm feeling down and low I vow I'll never be the same again I just remember what I am And visualize just what I'm gonna be "

verse, I can really relate to it. It pretty much describes how most of 2006 was for me up till a couple of months ago.

oh yeah.. wtf@the video. wow..

I think the vid compliments the music well tbh, because it symbolises the idea of hitting the road, having the action you need in life, getting out into the world and showing it your out to kick ass and show the world you are someone, not just a normal person, but you can do something................................LIVE! it's like breaking your way out of all the bad things in life, turning around, giving them the finger, getting on a bike or into a car and leaving them behind forever

It is about being FREE. Take your own way, do what you want... Sounds punk, but is a great song. Perfect for traveling.

Ha ha! It's about Harris's divorce, is it. When I read the lyrics I immediately thought that it's about overcoming depression, and feeling great to have put behind all the moments of darkness felt within. This song is almost rock with its straightforward rhythm and the way the refrain goes.
