"Wasted Years" was the fourteenth single released by Iron Maiden and the first from their Somewhere in Time album. Released in 1986, it was the first single to be written by guitarist Adrian Smith alone. It reached number 18 in the UK charts.
Adrian was going through hard times, trying to cope with Touring with the band and never getting time with his wife and kids... Maybe he was inspired by Ulysses (the greek king that was always out at sea, seeking new adventures, leaving his kingdom for many years... and almost lost his wife in that time).
I live away from home too... and it's tough. Maybe someday, I'll go back home and reflect on these 'Wasted Years' with a smile.
Cheers Adrian... This one is for you.
