To continue the celebration of D-Day's 65th anniversary, we proudly present a cut off Iron Maiden's most recent effort, A Matter of Life and Death.

D-Day has often been referred to as "the longest day." This comes from a quote by Erwin Rommel: "...the first 24 hours of the invasion will be decisive...the fate of Germany depends on the outcome...for the Allies, as well as Germany, it will be the longest day." That description of the actions of June 6th have been applied to books, a very good film, and to today's song. Set brilliantly to the stunning opening sequence from Saving Private Ryan, we present Iron Maiden's The Longest Day (lyrics here)
