Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture stone Average	#1 by stone sucks, at Apr 10, 1972 at 3:55 PM EST
	song is about premenitions of the future and foresight. the definition of the word 'claivoyant', is one who can see the future. the who album is about prophecy and shit like that, hence songs like 'the prophecy', 'infinite dreams', 'moonchild', ect. maybe insanity too...

No Picture Drennan Professional Badass	#2 by Drennan Bragg at Jun 17, 1996 at 7:16 PM EST
	my favorite song on the album, love how it starts

No Picture Prince Alex Lead Player	#3 by Prince Alex at Sep 9, 2002 at 8:48 PM EST
	this is about a guy pondering life and reality. this one is more focused on ones power over life, its beginning, its end... so he consults a clairvoyant for answers. still not satisfied, i get the impression that the guy is curious about killing the clairvoyant another subtle reference to the possibility of reincarnation. i love maiden, they are such an intelligent band, but their music still holds its own in intensity

No Picture Katia Average	#4 by Katia Zg at Jul 10, 2005 at 8:49 AM EST
	This song is about The Seventh Son of the Seventh Son, who possesses the ability to see what will happen = clairvoyance, which means clear sight. He can see what will happen, but not what will bring his own end. 1
