  • Bruce himself about this song: “This is a song that I wrote when I left Iron Maiden, and it’s about fear, it’s about doubt, and it’s about trying to conquer the bullshit that’s in your life.
  • It’s about “smashing through” a sad or difficult situation in order to be able to move on with your life. The thing about the dragon tears refers to the intensity of the negative situation that is to be overcome; in the sense that if it can make a dragon cry, it must be pretty bad.
  • This is a song about uh, about being shit scared of change, the unknown, all that stuff
  • I seem to recall that this is about a guy who’s trying to get over the past so he can go on with the future. I get butterflies in my stomach whenever I listen to this song.
  • It was very close after leaving Maiden for the meanings not to be looked for. I guess he felt he had to get a lot off his chest which was clearly a success now that he’s back in the best metal band ever where he belongs
  • I am a member of A. , a 12 step program. When this song was released I was going through my 4th step (which is about making a list of all things that were bad and good in my life). This song means to me giving up my addictions, facing my fears and embracing a new way to live, (being cleansed by the tears of the dragon as they wash over me). Thank You Bruce for creating something that expresses what I went through at a pivotal time in my life!!
  • Unbelievable mumbo jumbo.. yeah right, sure it’s a song about how he felt when he left maiden, blah, and hell yeah these are tears of man (LOL), he mentions dragon as for a symbol not for a nonsense replacement for a man…

DISCUSSION: Do you agree with this statement: Society generally discourages people from crying, but sadness, which is different from weakness, is ok to feel.

Bruce Dickinson: Why I Left Iron Maiden in 1993

  • “When I left Maiden, I was pretty hard on I said, ‘This whole setup is a limitation. It’s a lovely golden cage that’s comfortable and earns loads of money and I could go on recycling our identity, but I don’t want to do that. The only way I’m gonna find out what’s beyond and grow as a singer is to do something different. And the only way I’m gonna get taken seriously, is to leave.’
  • “I realized when you’re in Iron Maiden, everyone blows smoke up your ass. In the ’80s, when you’re in a big band, you have publicists and all kinds of people to protect you.
  • “As soon as you leave the bubble, everybody goes, ‘You know, I always just wanted to kick that guy in the nuts!’ It’s open season! That’s what happened to me. It was a shock.
  • “But, at the same time, I was like, ‘Well, this is why you did it.’ You step outside the box to find out what’s outside the box. You just have to take it on the chin and go, ‘Move on. This is evolution. This is Darwinism. It is survival of the fittest and if you can’t evolve into something that has a useful function, slink away and die.'”
  • The singer added: “You basically throw yourself to the universe and say, ‘Okay, should I really exist as a singer? Is there anything useful I’m bringing to the world by being in a heavy metal band other than nostalgia?’
  • “Because if that’s all it is, maybe I should just take that person and quietly strangle him and go do something more useful instead.
  • “If you want to be an artist, you can’t be resting on your laurels. You’ve got to be out there doing something different.
  • “I didn’t know what to do, which is why I left. I think people assumed when I left that I had a plan. Nope. No plan. Which I think the guys in the band found really hard to understand.
  • Explaining how he feared at the time that Maiden would fall into irrelevance, Bruce added: “Plowing the same furrow would maybe be the term. The audience would probably be happy with that, although it would slowly diminish.
  • “The band would become less relevant and gradually turn into a blob with the rest of the metal community. That’s not what I wanted.
  • “I learned so much when I was out of the band. I was a way better singer when I came back to Maiden [in 1999] than when I left.
  • “Consequently, the album we did when I came back, [2000’s] ‘Brave New World,’ I think is one of our classic records of all time. That was because all the energy was back. Everything in the band changed at that point.
  • “Before I’d left, there’d always been these little power struggles. When I came back, it was much more honest. People always say, ‘Maiden is like a family,’ like a family is a good thing.
  • “But families aren’t necessarily good things. A happy family is a great thing, but families are just random events that happen. That organisms pop out of the same hole, that’s no reason why they should like each other, in truth.
  • “All this ‘Blood is thicker than water’ … sorry guys, if your brother is an asshole, he’s an asshole!”
  • Bruce concluded: “We’re probably more friends now than we ever have been. We’re a band of brothers born out of the same mother, which is Iron Maiden. The mother ship gave birth to our relationship. We all accept that now.
  • “My loyalty is not to Steve, Adrian, or Janick. It’s to Iron Maiden and on that basis we have a great relationship. It means that we forgive each other, all of our little trespasses, if you want to use the Lord’s Prayer.
  • “I think it’s the same for everybody in the band, like, ‘Nu uh, it’s about Maiden, stupid.'”

  • At the height of his fame in 1967, Pitney married his childhood sweetheart, Lynne Gayton, and the couple had three sons
  • What a career Gene Pitney has had! He’s charted sixteen Top 40 singles and released 47 albums.
    Q– You’ve always had great success overseas, but, the British in particular really took a liking to you. What do you think accounts for that?
    A – I started over there. It was a strange time to have success, because the first big record I had over there was around ’64. It was right smack in the middle of the British Invasion, when The Stones, The Beatles and just about everybody else, were dominating the world market. I had a song called “Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa” which was right against the grain of what was going on, but it was a monstrous success for me. They’re kind of like a Country ‘n’ Western fan. Once they’re a fan of yours, they’re pretty much a fan for life. I’ve gone back and done at least one tour a year over the last 25 years.
    Q – How many months of the year are you on the road?
    A – That varies an awful lot. I was traveling 11 months of the year, then I cut back to 6. I’ve found that when I made the commitment to cut back on my time, which was really made for my family’s benefit, I benefited myself, much, much, more. I didn’t know enough to stand back and get away from what I was doing. I think anybody who’s in any job at all, I don’t care what it is, if you just keep hammering away at it, you work just as hard, but you lose the one hundred per cent. Your one hundred per cent becomes ninety per cent, eighty per cent, but you’re still hammering away, so you think you’ve got the same output. You become mechanical. If I didn’t have that chance to back away, for that reason, I never would have known it. When I did walk away and take 2-3 months off, then went back and did a ‘live’ performance, the enthusiasm was so incredible. I hadn’t had that for a long time.

4._________________ in a manner that is appropriate or suitable in the circumstances.

    1. This is a breakup song, with Baby Jane being the name of the singer’s romantic interest, who is also the addressee. And the way the situation reads is that she more or less dumped him or at least has moved into a ‘higher’ social class which he cannot follow. Or stated differently, it appears that she has attractive options to move on without him and has decided to do so. And the singer is heartbroken, even offended, as a result. But instead of asking her back or anything like that, he is rather taking it as a lesson learned. Indeed through such aforementioned actions on behalf of Baby Jane, he has come to realize that she has unfavorable characteristics which he was not aware of when their relationship began.  So in a way, he is actually glad that their romance has ended. And he is also optimistic that the next time he falls in love, it will be with his true soulmate. And this confidence is perhaps once again due to the fact that now, via his mistreatment at the hands of Baby Jane, he is wiser in terms of what to look out for in a partner.
    2. Baby Jane is a self-conscious gold-digging whore seducing and using the person from whom’s perspective Rod sings.

    [1] The fall of man, or the fall, is a term used in Christianity to describe the transition of the first man and woman from a state of innocent obedience to God to a state of guilty disobedience. The doctrine of the fall comes from a biblical interpretation of Genesis. At first, Adam and Eve lived with God in the Garden of Eden, but the serpent tempted them into eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which God had forbidden. After doing so, they became ashamed of their nakedness and God expelled them from the Garden to prevent them from eating from the tree of life and becoming immortal.

        Dead Can Dance: an inward musical trip

        Music is essential, and we know that. It is the most powerful fashion of non-verbal art to express the ineffable. That is why music is so closely interwoven with religious practices and mysticism.

        Still, not all music is similarly capable of inspiring deep and sincere spirituality. The music industry is on the one hand mostly about ‟entertainment” and brutally commercialized. On the other hand, certain examples of ‟spiritual” and ‟new age” music sometimes sound too superficial.

        Medievalism and Exoticism

        In 1991 Dead Can Dance released an album that caught the attention of music reviewers by constructing an aural allegiance to the Middle Ages. Suitably called A Passage in Time, the album was described as imitating medieval chant, troubadour music and Latin hymns.

        Dead Can Dance envision an idealized Middle Ages untouched by industrialization and other “modern” practices. Contemporary society is described by band member Lisa Gerrard as a “culture that just keeps churning out robots.” Malaise is the obvious consequence: “People are not content with their lot in life … They can sense that there’s something else living in their unconscious being … we’ve been brought up to deny the inner being”.

        4. ______________ relating to the ear or the sense of hearing.
        5. _________________ loyalty or commitment to a superior or to a group or cause.
        6. _______________ shake (milk or cream) in a machine in order to produce butter
        7. ____________________ a general feeling of discomfort, illness, or unease whose exact cause is difficult to identify.

        • The uplifting chorus can mask the meaning in this song, which is about a woman who is leaving her man because she needs time to find herself. She asks him to “leave a light on” for her, meaning to wait for her return, but that’s a lot to ask. The lyric was written by Ellen Shipley, who said in a Songfacts interview: “That was very specifically a feeling that I had about people going on their own way. Even though they love someone, it’s just time for them to find themselves. It’s pretty easy. In that story, she had to go find herself in order to come back and be with this person. Oftentimes people leave because they’re not done growing up. It was more important for her to find herself first, which is my feeling in life. And if you’re in a relationship and something feels wrong, if you break it down to not the guy or not the woman but in yourself, it usually has to do with finding yourself and coming into a relationship as a full authentic person. So, I tried to do that with the lyric.

        About Belinda Carlisle

        1. Belinda Carlisle’s story is well known to some. That is the story of the ex-punk rocker, ex-cocaine addict, ex-lesbian lust icon and the ex-target of no fewer than 32 stalkers.
        2. …Belinda was a girl scout troop who got expelled after three days for placing cicadas in people’s sleeping bags
        3. …it was not until belinda turned 19, argued with duke and duke throwing all her clothes outside that belinda left home, claiming that one day she would be a star
        4. …wranglings over what the Go-Go’s stated were $1 million in unpaid royalties led to a lengthy legal dispute that finally was settled out of court, but not without leaving bitter feelings among the participants
        5. …they began to indulge a strange sense of humour. they would meet some businessman, get him drunk, take pictures of his and their private parts, and secretly place them in his pocket. ’so much the better if he was married,’ they would say
        6. …it was a case of too young and too much too soon. throw in egos and issues with royalties for song writing mixed with substance abuse and non-stop touring and you have a recipe for disaster. we simply imploded
        7. …we were getting ready for a concert in rio and it just didn’t feel right. i remember it real clearly because i started to cry. it wasn’t fun anymore. we were just sort of going through the motions, pretending to have all the fun on stage that we really did have in the beginning
        8. …i was so unhappy that i hated seeing new artists because i knew i couldn’t be one of them. i couldn’t share their freshness or excitement. i was sort of envious
        9. …it wasn’t until complete strangers wanted to kill her that made her worried. belinda had 32 stalkers, at once, after her and her husband that were considered dangerous. she began to feel like her private life was being invaded
        10. …i’m really fed up with whole media thing where you have to be 20 years old, a size 0, and blond with plastic tits
