@sensualbunny1 this song symblozied the fall from grace rush managed in just 5 short yrs since MP. fans left in droves after this release as any hope for rush to return to anything remotely like rush as the past was dashed with this release. they lost all the momentum generated by the ground breaking MP which went triple platinum upon release. The expermental Signals records was understood to be just that & accepted, but rush cont to fall from its core fans base until all was lost by HYF.
@fendergibs I agree that it costed them alot. But personally, I really like this era. I think that even though old-school Rush was the best, the era represents Rush's ideology of music, to experiment diffirent types of music and art. So I can see why the core fan base disliked this change, but as a youngster lnowing Rush for almost a year, I love all eras of Rush and glad it worked out the way it did. :)
@That70sShowRocker73 I liked it too, wish they had used and cont with the production quality on all these records that PW had, as it was the best sounding. i guess my main complaint is that they did not go back to Terry Brown in 89 for presto when they wanted to go back to a harder sound, which was at its peak with perm waves & MP, who else would be better to go back to? the sound of the 90s was ok but lacking & production tended to lead to a thin steril sound lacking depth & dynamics
@ZACfromSCB More like pilots! Those instruments are nothing without the best musicians in the world (Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee and Neil Peart) playing them!
im glad..me being nearly 20. that i was brought up with this instead of pop and rap and all that..proud to be one of many listening to amazing music today =)
Don't forget that when Gene Simmons first heard Rush he thought "Who is this canadien Zeppelin". Gene asked Rush to tour with Kiss . They toured for quite a while.
Rush is not old school. They are as good as an other band. Like The Beatles and Kiss [2]
Since 9 years old I listen Rush. Of course, I hadn't the conception of rock band with this age, but the music swing make me to listen and to know "what is a good music"!
RUSH = Philosophy of Live
Obs.: sorry about my English... it is not so good!
Rush has a true talent, I'm 16 and they've always been my favorite band. They always will be. I go to every single concert they have here in Denver. Rush for life!
haha, look at geddy's hairdo, it's like a braided mullet ponytail, lol, but that doesn't matter, geddy is great, but does anyone know the name of the lady using the camera? i mean the quality of this isnt great but she looks kinda hot....
Just another extraordinary RUSH song... These three (3) guys aren't in the R&R Hall of Shame.. John Cuga Mellencamp is. The injustice speaks for itself. Nuff said....
your right in a way. seen all the generations play that same ole game. like, they will get something out of the old way. it's a new way know. don't tell all your friends now. wait.
If only time could stand still, but it can't. Every generation before mine knew that fact and accepted it. We were the first generation to believe otherwise. We were brainwashed from all the crap on the radio and television. We were conditioned from all the propaganda in the commercials and magazines. We came to think we could live forever. Yesterday, I looked in the mirror and I saw time didn't stand still. Time flew right out the window.
RUSH is the result of tremendous and rarely found chemistry. They are the synchronization of a rare universal oddity, combining unbelievable personal gifts with extra human insight. At best, such a human confluence occurs once in a lifetime....
Great song, Not so great video but i must admit i think it is growing on me. Song really has a true meaning. Occasionally i ponder the same thought behind this song. Time really does fly and there is nothing you can do. Trippy way of looking at life
Some people think this is the worst rock video ever made..idk I kinda like it, I guess because it just reminds me how random and out of left field Rush is.
Fantastic song btw, I will cry when they play it live this April.
If I was a Dictator, I would have had the video maker shot for messing up such a deep song with a PBS children's show video!What is the name of that show with the cute human kid creatures? TELETUBBIES!!!!
That person who made this video would have been executed. I couldn't finish the video, that song means a lot more to me then seeing them bouncing around like that.
Rush should have known better. The SONG IS ABOUT MISSED OPPORTUNITIES NOT BOUNCING AROUND!!!!
@verbusen Relax: No one died, i'm sure the guys rue the day they gave this celluoid life and if they knew where you lived, they would fly there immediately, fall to their knees and beg for your forgiveness. Which you would deny them until they played 2112 in its entirety in your living room, on ukeleles.
@teababe27 Ah, you see, this was made before your time: it's what the major labels all did at the time. I can guarantee you Rush had either very little or zero creative input to the video. This was the time when the only way any potential new buyer could be reached through either MTV or the radio...more likely MTV. And, it was the 80s. This is what ALL videos looked like then.
@dalisman Rush was a very veteran group when this came out, maybe 10 years old. They blew it. One of my favorite songs by them, this is a horrible video.
rush is the perfect band, ive been listening to them almost nonstop for a year and still not sick of them. never have i had a favorite band which i liked more than rush
Ahhhh yes ... MTV in the old days,... before all the silly rap music, stupid-stupid game shows and (especially (!)) scripted reality shows. As goofy as that video was, done deliberately of course, the music is great ! Rush kicks A+ !!!
