Paranoid. Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler (from Guitar World magazine, March 2004): "A lot of the 'Paranoid' album was written around the time of our first album, 'Black Sabbath'. We recorded the whole thing in about two or three days, live in the studio. The song 'Paranoid' was written as an afterthought. We basically needed a three minute filler for the album, and Tony came up with the riff. I quickly did the lyrics, and Ozzy was reading them as he was singing." (thanks, Tim - Miramichi, Canada)

Only heroes are taken to Valhalla, where they will wait for their certain doom. (thanks, Mike - Chicago, IL)

Flight Of Icarus. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"The song is loosely based on the ancient Greek myth of Icarus who was imprisoned with his father Daedalus in the Labyrinth on Crete. So the pair fabricated wings for themselves from feathers and wax. Unfortunately Icarus, not heeding the advice of his father, flew too close to the sun, melting the wax that held the feathers together and thus fell to his death in the sea.
Vocalist Bruce Dickinson admits that he had modified the original tale to make it an allegory of teenage rebellion against adult authority (which caused the death of Icarus in this case)."

Logical Song. This is a quote from vocalist/bassist Roger Hogson on this particular song...
"You can't preach to people, but you can stimulate their thoughts, and I think that this song does do that. I hate to use the word 'message,' but the thought here is that throughout childhood you are told so many things, and yet you are never told who you really are; you are not told anything about your real self. Very rarely, anyway. We are taught how to function outwardly, but not told who we are inwardly, and no one explains it to us." This song is on the album "Breakfast in America" released on November 30, 1978.
