My friend you chose this song to kick off your new year. Your life is already more together than you know. Just get out and do your thing with the words running through your mind!
@Esperant3 The lyrics are awesome enough to love them for... I hope someday you can hear the music too. If you can turn it up loud enough just the vibrations will rock you.
Geddy the bass player.....very much appreciated and renowned......Geddy "the vocalist".....very underrated.....i grew up listening to Rush, but never really paid serious attention to his rawness, emotion, and power, starting with 2112 thru Hemispheres....possibly even Permanent Waves....really great vocalist
2112 is a 20 minute long song with several parts, one of these parts is named "Discovery". That is the part where the guitar is introduced. The parts of the song are named "Overture, The Temples of Syrinx, Discovery, Presentation, Oracle: the Dream, Soliloquy, and Grand Finale". The song's name is 2112, Discovery is a part of that song. The Album name is also 2112 (Like how Test For Echo has a song named Test For Echo). The song is 2112. Hope that clarifies.
I agree with you that Tom Sawyer wasn't the best Rush song even though I live in Missouri. Don't say Geddy hates America. I live in Kansas City., Missouri.. Geddy donated his entire collection of almost 200 autographed negro leagues baseballs to the museum here.
2112 was the best and last best album rush ever made. tom sawyer wasn't shit. getty lee and the boys blew their load in the studio on this one and will never have the success like 2112 ever again. they hate america anyway.
@daddyishot2 if you can't spell Geddy's name right then you have no real understanding of the music. RUSH is a journey of the mind and senses, not just a band But,,, I agree that 2112 was truly unbelievable and I have told more than 1 that at my funeral I'd better not hear any of that "how great thou art" shit. I want 2112 played. I want it loud, and I don't care who is there
Definately just posted some Rush as my status on facebook... I personally chose: I stand atop a spiral stair An oracle confronts me there He leads me on light years away Through astral nights, galactic days I see the works of gifted hands ...That grace this strange and wonderous land I see the hand of men arise With hungry minds and open eyes because i was listening to 2112 at the time :P MON THE TRILOGY! Cannot wait to see them in May in GlasgoW!
@mitchsquires66 Peart is a Libertarian and many times vocalized his dissatisfaction with his homeland. This was also shown in the song "The Trees" as the Maples are collectivist.
don''t try to tell your kids how much todays music sux... just play this song and all the other good songs from your youth 10,000 times a day. I know your stereo is better than your kids stereo. hehehe
@coldfarted If you play it constantly they'll just feel the need to listen to Justin Bieber to be rebellious. Wait until they hit their rebellious stage, then forbid them from listening to Rush.
@coldfarted I dunno about 10,000 times a day, but I do play the classics like Rush 2112 around my kids...seven of 'em!...and they all like Rush... my almost-17-year-old daughter is even a little obsessive about them. Does my heart good to see kids appreciate good music. RUSH: The modern day Mozart.
@3soccerstars My girlfriend wishes I would do it outside lol. hahah but if you have a great spot somewhere out there...can't get any better. especially if you have some rush playing!
I like Metallica but they were still crapping in their diapers when this alblum came out so if anything Metallica sounds like Rush or was influnced by Rush.
Waiting for the winds of change To sweep the clouds away Waiting for the rainbow's end To cast its gold your way Countless ways You pass the days Waiting for someone to call And turn your world around Looking for an answer To the question you have found Looking for An open door You don't get something for nothing You can't have freedom for free You won't get wise With the sleep still in your eyes No matter what your dreams might be
You don't get something for nothing You can't have freedom for free You won't get wise With the sleep still in your eyes No matter what your dreams might be What you own is your own kingdom What you do is your own glory What you love is your own power What you live is your own story In your head is the answer Let it guide you along Let your heart be the anchor And the beat of your own song
....no they're not? rush are some outstandingly talented musicians who have a combination of beautiful lyrics, intricate melodies and complex time signatures. Metallica is good at chuggin the low e string and using the wah on solos to give the illusion of speed in solos. metallica was only as good as lars was, and when he didnt give a fuck during the black album and past they're sound went to hell
@AZNman11111 Let us not forget Neil Peart's awards (too many to put in here) for his drumming abilities and Geddy Lee for both Vocal and Bassist accomplishments. Unbelievable group and performances live. Enjoy!
Great intro and then great heavy driving rock for the rest of the song. While I like some of the keyboard stuff rush does this song is exactly why I didn't like power windows this alone kills everything on there.
I have some problem cause this is the only Rush Song I like ....
