No Picture Matt Rhythm Player	#1 by Matt quinn at Jul 3, 2006 at 6:12 PM EST
	This was the first Iron Maiden song I heard, actually the first heavy metal song I heard in my life and it's been my favorite IM song ever since. Weird, my friends who are fans of IM say that this song is insignificant compared to other IM songs coz it doesn't talk about anything. I don't think that. I love "Rolling shadows of nights", especially in the live version.

	One of the best Maiden songs ever, every time i hear it makes me wonder about my life 1

	There are some fantastic lyrics here. The lines "Wasting love, in a desperate caress/ Rolling shadows of nights" say it all. I think it's about the dark side of love - perhaps a passionless marriage or relationship, and the hopelessness of it all. It's quite a dark song for me, and I think the video reflects that. If you haven't seen it, check it out on YouTube.

No Picture Jeremy Rhythm Player	#4 by Jeremy Dosser at Jan 11, 2007 at 10:49 PM EST
	This is one of the most wonderful love song. So symbolic, of how hesitating the moment is only wasting love. Very true. Also, the song is just very calming and just amazing. Love the solos.
