I'm a 36 year old man that's a foreman of a construction company and my eyes were wet throughout that whole beautiful song. Great job!! You pull it out of me sir

As with most, if not all nations, we the people do not hate others from foreign lands. However, we could care less for the so called leaders and governments. In the end, we all want the same thing. Peace, love, and happiness Stay healthy, safe, and free🤙🏼
Hello Russia and thanks from England. True we don't like Russia, but we know who's to blame. I just wish for peace. Thank you for listening and commenting ❤🙂
If you actually get down and read the lyrics of many maiden songs, they are like literature... now compare that to stuff popular now... (Conan O'Brien and Andy did a funny take on it here but it drives home the point so hard.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QnAMiFAU420.html) I pitty kids now, I mean when I was young I listened to everything but now most just want what tiktok tells them to worship next
Hello from Sweden! Excuse my bad english. I'm a big Maidenfan and I have NEVER heard the lyrics so clear and beautiful. You sing the brilliant Maidensongs like a fairytale, thank you sir, from the bottom of my heart ❤
Bravo, Sir!! There is something special about you. My wife and I are always moved by your Iron Maiden interpretations. I hope Maiden gets an opportunity to watch and listen to you. I hope to meet you one day in this life or the next. Praise Jesus. 🙏
Stuart, I'm going to turn 54 next week, and I grew up with Iron Maiden's filling the holes in my heart. I'm from Argentina, so I hardly understood the lyrics written in the albums. But their music hit me deeply. Many years ago, I left Maiden's angry shouts for more delicate sounds. Today I discovered your acoustic versions and found out why I was so moved by that metal. Thank you for gift. I thank God for your gift. By the way, reading today's readings for the Catholic mass, I read some words that may answer to this song's key question: God, tell me why... From Isaiah 58, 1-9; So speaks God the Lord, shout out, don't refrain, raise your voice like a trumpet, denounce to my people their rebellion and their sins! They ask me every day, and they want to know my ways, like a just nation. They fast to turn into fighting and hitting badly with the fist. [...] This is the fasting I love, Lord's oracle, loose the unjust chains, untie the ropes of the yoke, give freedom to the oppressed ones, and break all the yokes. Share your bread with the hungry ones, give shelter to the homeless ones, cover the naked ones, and take care of your own flesh. So then, the light will come out like rising sun, and your wound will heal fast. Your justice will go in front of you, and the Glory of God will go behind you. So then you'll call, and the Lord will answer, you'll ask for help, and He will say: Here I am!
Thank you. Im in my late 40s and my guitar has been hanging on the wall in my study for over 20years.,,,,. I forgot my Crazy youth and You just gave it back to me.,. Sadly you make the music i us to listen to then sound so much better now,. Time marches on.,
You make my old music sound so pure ' what scares me is when 2days youth google the song the cover art puts them in therapy 😂 just watched the Neil Young cover ''' Epic.
I second that comment. We heard Mr Clifford's amazing wasted years cover and came back for more. Once again, Bravo! It would be interesting to hear about your musical background
Wow Stuart! It's not only a great version in what regards to music (guitar + voice), your rendition is awesome. The passion you put in it is what moves me the most. Please keep posting videos such as this.
Yes when I really read the words (in order to learn it) I was amazed how they match the current madness. Thanks for listening and commenting it makes my day 🙂 🎸
@@stuartclifford8795yeah thank you for the notes in the description (and the performance, of course), but I can’t see the main issue of today’s people reflected in this song. When half (or most) of what we perceive of the outside world today is just theater and propaganda, it’s hard to even mention the most current issue which this song might be used to describe without being mislabeled or just simply ignored. Oh well...
Stuart your rendition of this song was so evocative and brilliantly done on acoustic, surely this song describes what mankind does to itself and our lovely earth which the mindless few desecrate ❤
This is my first RU-vid comment in years... Your music gives me chills, you have the gift to create emotions and touch your listeners. There are so many people being musically perfect but have pretty much nothing but technical skills (although I admire that as well) but you are a real musician, thank you Sir!
I’m glad the algorithm introduced me to your video. I’m a longtime Maiden fan and I love this interpretation! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Texas.
A GLORIOUS version! Thank you very much Sir for sharing your incredible talent with us Iron Maiden fans and introducing their work to those who do not know then using your skill sand talents.
hi Stuart, I like it great job. Love that song. You are going to have to break it down for me like you did with wasted years. Maiden is one of my alltime favs
Hi Glenn. I've had a couple of requests for that. I'll see what I can put together. I've got something else on my music stand at the moment so I'll try and do something after that 😬. Thanks for listening and commenting 🙂
Fantastic, really enjoyed that. Yes Thomas has done fantastic acoustic Iron Maiden covers, I went to see him with the ex Iron Maiden vocalist Blaze Bayley, a real treat. Look forward to hearing your next one. Thanks for sharing.
May you be live a long life singing songs like this. I am the biggest Maiden fan & probably their biggest critic. I can’t believe what an amazing job you did with this song acoustically. I am going to share this on Facebook. Up the Irons 🤘
Once again I’m here listening to your incredible performance, wondering if the actual original will live up to this. Never heard such a heartfelt ‘cover’. Fantastic.
Awesome video, I'm 45 yr old guitar player. And I find it hard to watch some people do covers that just aren't done very well. Maybe it's because of my ear. I can figure out most songs within seconds. But because of my good ear it's hard to find good covers on here. Where they did justice to the song. And you sir did justice to this song. Watched all the way to the end. Well done! MORE!
Stuart toda vez que escuto seus vídeos só lembro de uma belíssima praia com um luar maravilhoso refletindo no mar, uma fogueira no meio da roda de amigos, cerveja gelada, esses seus acordes e a certeza de que a vida é bela sim.
"Tell me why?" Well I am not sure of what to say yet. Hope I have the answer one day. Or at least my definite pov. I've read the description after hearing this interpretation. Exactly what I suspected. Count on me to spread what is in my power to avoid wars. We need to keep the children out of this mess by educating and showing them that there are over ways. Thanks for your rant of the day. I haven't heard this one of Iron Maiden yet. Take care ! I am sure that one day this mess will be cleaned. I do not know if I will be there to watch...
Very good voice you have! And yes, Thomas Zwijsen is brilliant. He is from my country and seen him live. You keep this up, awesome cover this is!!! 🤘🏻😎
Paul Glancy hete again (wondering where'd want) I'm subscribed l, so not too hard to find. I saw Maiden at Donnington in 88. K remember you saying you lived a 30 minute drive from Donnington. You've nailed it again Sir. Thankyou..Paul.
