Oh boy, are you guys ready for some epic news? 🤩 IRON MAIDEN’s Bruce Dickinson just dropped a new video for his solo track “Change Of Heart” and it’s a real tearjerker 🤧. I mean, who doesn’t love a good ballad about the human condition, right? 🤷♂️ The video was shot in São Paulo, Brazil, because why not? It’s not like they have anything better to do there, like, I don’t know, watching soccer or something ⚽️. Anyway, Bruce performs in an abandoned space, because that’s not a cliché at all 🙄, accompanied by his guitarist Philip Naslund, who’s probably just happy to be there 🎸.
The video’s all about how life is hard and people are suffering, but hey, there’s still hope, or something 🌟. It’s like Bruce is trying to tell us that even in the darkest times, there’s always a chance for redemption, but let’s be real, we’ve all seen that movie before 🎥. The child in the video carrying a William Blake painting is just a nice touch, because who doesn’t love a good symbolism? 🤔 It’s like Bruce is trying to say, “Hey, kids, don’t forget about the importance of art and literature, or you’ll end up like me, a 60-year-old man singing about dragons and stuff” 📚.
The Making of “Change Of Heart”
According to Bruce, the song has always been special to him, and the new arrangement on the “More Balls To Picasso” album is just, well, more of the same, but better, apparently 🤷♂️. He says, “This song has always been very special to me… its message and power feels even more enhanced” 🌟. Yeah, because nothing says “enhanced power” like a ballad about the human condition 🙄. The William Blake painting was used because, as Bruce says, “he devoted much of his work to the eternal tension between innocence and experience, freedom and spiritual enslavement, consciousness and alienation” 🤯. Wow, that’s deep, Bruce, really deep 🙄.
The result is a thoughtful, beautiful video that perfectly complements the songwriting and performance of the song, or so they say 🤷♂️. I mean, who am I to judge? Maybe it’s a masterpiece, maybe it’s just a bunch of old men playing music in an abandoned space 🤷♂️. The new version of “Change Of Heart” is part of the “More Balls To Picasso” album, which is just a reimagined version of the original 1994 recording, because why not? 🤔 It’s not like they’re just trying to cash in on nostalgia or something 🤑.
Bruce’s Upcoming Album
Bruce’s new solo album is tentatively due in early 2027, because we’re all just waiting with bated breath for that 🤩. Most of the album was recorded at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606, because that’s just a normal thing to do, right? 🤷♂️. The album’s being mixed by Brendan Duffey, who’s just happy to be working with Bruce, probably 🎸. Bruce recently told TalkShopLive that his upcoming solo album will include a collaboration with his son Austin, because that’s not a recipe for disaster or anything 🤯. Austin’s a musician, you know, the former frontman of the metal bands RISE TO REMAIN and AS LIONS, because who doesn’t love a good metal band? 🤘.
In conclusion, Bruce Dickinson’s new video for “Change Of Heart” is a real treat, or so I’ve been told 🤷♂️. It’s all about the human condition, and hope, and redemption, and stuff 🌟. Just what we all needed, another ballad about how life is hard 🙄. But hey, if you’re into that sort of thing, go for it, I guess 🤷♂️. Just don’t forget to bring some tissues, because it’s a real tearjerker, or so they say 🤧. 🎸💔
