Probably the best track off Iron Maiden's Live at Rock in Rio album.
With an acoustic intro building up into a manic crescendo, this is another maritime epic in the same vein as 'The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner'. The Instrumental part summons up images of a ship struggling in the middle of a storm. During this particular part, Nicko's fast foot gives the impression of a double-bass drum. This spurred a polemic among the fans, some of them saying that it was the first time that he used double-kick mechanism.
The lyrics are a metaphor of life, with the ship sailing west towards the setting sun representing death. The "ghost of navigators" could be an allusion to all of those who go through life without really realizing it, being therefore "lost" and not in control of their navigation. This sentence could also refer to our forebears who have sailed the same 'seas' as us whose memory stil remains. In any case, "nothing's real until you feel" is probably an advice to experience life to the fullest, with its ups and downs, or run the risk to have wasted the short time between the cradle and the grave.

Ben: What are you doing?
John: Getting faced and listening to Ghost of the Navigator.
Ben: That's Iron Maiden's best song from the Rock in Rio album.
John: Yeah, I know.

Get the Ghost of the Navigator mug.A luxury SUV, manufactured by Lincoln (a subsidiary of Ford), marketed towards wealthy house wives, inter-city youth, drug dealers, and mafia members. It was purposely designed to compete with the Cadillac Escalade. Next year's new "M.D." (Mafia/Drug Dealer) model features larger windows allowing passengers to fire an Uzi 9mm or HK MP5 in complete comfort and special new materials which allow blood, heroin, and cocaine to be easily wiped off the seats. Best of all, ten kilos of C4 are located under the chassis for instant evidence destruction. This vehicle is perfect for dive by shootings, making “visits” to people you don’t like, and camping trips in the forest.
Hey, Furio, get the Navigator and a couple of pieces. It's time to pay Guido a "visit." He forget to pay on time

Get the navigator mug.N. One who is skilled in the ways of anal navigation. Often aboard his ship is an anal cartographer who aids in the newly explored rectal area. It in no way involves anal sex or homosexuality, but rather, the exploration and charting of new asses.

Get the Ass Navigator mug.You find yourself wanting to fornicate doggy-style, however, there are no chairs and/or stationary objects nearby for your partner to put his/her arms on--so essentially he/she is standing up, bent over, looking at their feet whilst receiving a meat-bat. While doing this, you steer your partner (unknowingly) little-by-little until their head hits a wall (if you're a real sport, you'll give it a little UMPH as their head hits the wall)..you then yell something to the effect of "AHOY MATEY, YEE HAS HIT LAND!!"
My fucking head hurts me...last night my boyfriend thought he was a funny guy and pulled THE NAVIGATOR on me!!
