00:02:03 - Peace of Mind
00:02:04 - Translatable as mental peace, making a play on words with the expression peace of mind is the fourth studio album by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden.
00:02:13 - It was released on the market on May 17, 1983, reaching number three in the British charts.
00:02:19 - Peace of mind was simply, special, Harris told journalist Mick Wall in the band's official biography, Run to the Hills.
00:02:26 - We felt like we were high up, and you can hear that mood on the album, mostly though, it was just the songs.
00:02:32 - The record, which arrived on May 16, 1983, was the first to feature drummer
00:02:38 - Nico McBrain, Extrust, Pat Travers, who replaced Clive Burr, cementing the historic line-up of Harris, McBrain, vocalist Bruce Dickinson and guitarists Dave Murray and Adrian Smith.
00:02:49 - This is without a doubt the best song on the album and probably Maiden's best-known song.
00:02:54 - I'm sure they play it a lot live, but if you've heard the song, you know why.
00:02:59 - Everything is perfect in this song.
00:03:01 - The best melody, galloping bass riffs, fantastic solos from Smith and Murray and of course, one of Dickinson's most brilliant moments, the crowd chorus with the classic
00:03:10 - O. Classic, which became an ever-present song at every live performance of the band.
00:03:16 - The song, composed by Steve Harris, talks about the 1854 battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War, and is partially based on Lord Alfred Tennyson's play, The Charge of the Light Horse. The song takes perhaps a sadder take on this poem, taking the point a view of one of the Cavalryman killed in action.
00:03:35 - It is known for the galloping sound of the guitars and bass, as well as its catchy, easy to remember riff, and is a crowd favorite at concerts.
00:03:43 - Ironically the song is longer than the poem that inspired it.
00:03:46 - Regarding Maiden's stance on war, Bruce Dickinson tells us,
00:03:50 - I think you can sum up Maiden's attitude to war, that 99% of the time it's lions led by lands, or lions led by donkeys, in the case of World War One, and indeed that Crimean debacle which is the subject of the trooper. I think that before this opinion there is nothing to say.

00:05:20 - So when you're waiting for the next attack You better stand, there's no turning back
00:05:25 - The bugle sounds, the track begins
00:05:28 - But I don't know if they have no advance
00:05:31 - It's not a backwards call, but I'll survive
