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.

It was all Merry Christmas and Peace on Earth ‘til the fight broke-out and, next thing I knew, it was Police Navidad.

Get the Police Navidad mug.One of the nicest person you can ever meet. Navika is a really cute and sweet girl. She tries making her loved ones happy. She's always there for her friends. A lot of the boys try talking to her ,but she isnt that easy to get. At the end, if you're loyal, she can never leave you.

Get the Navika mug.One of the nicest person you'll ever meet. She's extremely caring and sweet, with a good sense of fashion and a loving personality. She can never leave her close ones. She's insecure about herself but she need to know that she is beautiful the way she is. She is cute and always cares for her friends. Sometimes she is rude to me but she looks very cute when she is rude .In the end, I love her and she is my world.

Get the Navika 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
