Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) has shared a new video for a reimagined version of “Change Of Heart.” That track appears on “More Balls To Picasso,” a “revisited and reinvented” version of the singer’s 1994 album “Balls To Picasso.”

Dickinson commented:

“When we shot a video for ‘Tears Of The Dragon’ in Brazil last year, I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to also shine a light on the song ‘Change Of Heart’. This song has always been very special to me with the wonderful new arrangement of it on the ‘More Balls To Picasso’ album, its message and power feels even more enhanced.

We used the William Blake painting because he devoted much of his work to the eternal tension between innocence and experience, freedom and spiritual enslavement, consciousness and alienation, and I’m very aware that my own work often deals with the same subjects. So having the young boy in the video, carrying that particular painting is a very deliberate choice. The child embodies that primal awareness, capable of seeing what adults have learned to ignore.”
