"Wildest Dreams", written by Adrian Smith and Steve Harris, is a fast and energetic album-opener of Iron Maiden's 2003 studio album Dance Of Death. It has a very catchy tune, stunning solo and great chorus. It's about reminding us that life is short and far too precious to be wasted in boredom, when we could enjoy ourselves and have fun.
BTW before the song starts, Maiden's legendary drummer Nicko McBrain can be heard counting the beat. One word: LOL.
Also, here are the lyrics:
I'm gonna organize some changes in my life
I'm gonna exorcise the demons of my past
I'm gonna take the car and hit the open road
I'm feeling ready to just open up and go
And I just feel I can be anything
That all I might ever wish to be
And fantasize just what I want to be
Make my wildest dreams come true
I'm on my way
Out on my own again
I'm on my way
Out on the road again
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
I'm on my way
Out on my own again
I'm on my way
I'm gonna break away
(2:15 - Solo: Adrian Smith)
I'm gonna break away
I'm out on my own
I'm out on my own
Gonna break away
Break it away
I'm on my way
Out on my own again
I'm on my way
Out on the road again
I'm on my way
Out on my own again
I'm on my way
I'm gonna break away
UP THE IRONS!
