Excellent, underrated song. Killer opening riff courtesy of Mr. Adrian Smith. Listen carefully to 1:27, when Bruce sings "I see sixes all the way". There's a whispering voice which apparently says "six six six". I just noticed it recently, after first listening to the song 25+ years ago.
Powerslave has always been my favourite Maiden album but "Back in the village" was the only song i did not like in it when I first listened to it back in the 80's. I quite enjoy it today, however.
the only reason this is considered a filler track is because it's on power slave. If any other band had written this it would have been their best song
wow wat a beautiful song. sadly u hardly ever hear this song among the greats of maiden cuz maiden just has so many greats, people seem to have overlooked this one

Badass song. I used to love this when I was 11. Has a bit of a Motorhead / Di'Anno era feel.
