00:02:10 - The year was 1985 and the band was leaving the extensive tour of the World Slavery Tour, in which the group gave 189 recitals.

00:02:21 - There were signs of exhaustion in the band and internal disputes.

00:02:26 - Bruce Dickinson, with his known interest in the likes of Peter Hamill, Captain Beefheart and Jethro Tull, had written a series of acoustic ballads that were rejected by the other members.

00:02:38 - I felt we had to come back with a record in the style of Led Zeppelin IV or physical graffiti, he said.

00:02:47 - I thought we had to go to another level or we would stagnate and disappear from the map.

00:02:57 - Steve Harris, for his part, believed that Dickinson was completely disoriented and that he was possibly the one who had been affected the most by the last dates of the tour.

00:03:09 - Recovered from the tour, Adrian Smith and guitarist Dave Murray experimented with new equipment that would mark a change in direction in the group's sound.

00:03:20 - Steve Harris stated that the elapsed time allowed them to tweak things without rushing us.

00:03:28 - Somewhere in time was one of Iron Maiden's most expensive albums.

00:03:32 - Again produced by Martin Birch, the rhythm parts were recorded at a studio in Nassau,

00:03:37 - Bahamas, called Compass Point.

00:03:41 - The guitars and vocals were added at Whistle Lord Studio, a recording studio in the small town of Hilversum, the Netherlands, and the final mixing was done in New York.

00:03:53 - With all the momentum of an anthem, Wasted Years, which was written by Adrian Smith, is one of Iron Maiden's most memorable tracks.

00:04:04 - It has everything that made the group relevant in the history of metal, power to the limit, violent rhythmic changes, absolute delivery, and good melodies.

00:04:15 - The intro of manic arpeggiated guitars, counterpoint by a parsimmonious bass, and a battery with a crushing rhythm, is the motif that is repeated throughout the song to resolve in the catchy chorus.

00:04:27 - So, understand, don't waste time on look for those lost ears, face it and stand firm realize that you're living your golden years."

00:04:40 - Speaking to the UK's Total Guitar magazine, Adrian Smith recalled his reluctance to share this song with bassist and main songwriter Steve Harris, because he thought it was too commercial.

00:04:51 - I was messing around with a little four-track and I just put in that riff for wasted years, he said.

00:05:00 - I was touching Steve some other stuff and I accidentally put it on him and he

00:05:04 - He was like, what's that?

00:05:06 - I told him, you probably won't like this because it's so commercial.

00:05:12 - But he really liked it and insisted we do it, so something you'd think he wouldn't want to do, he does.
