I just went back to some of the best memories ever...frickin Saga rocks man, Thanks! Thses guys never got the recognition they deserved, they were even better live than in the studio, and no freaking auto-tune BS!
Oh my stars, did I just hear the "c" word? Loriann, I had the LP (remember those?), which I purchased at a Venture store, somewhere in St. Louis. Think it cost like 8 bucks or so. Of course, 8 dollaz was alot for a record, and I didn't quite have the luxury of cassettes yet--I did run reel-to-reel tape. Hell knows what happened to all my old LPs.
Wow, I recall being 15 or 16 when Worlds Apart came out. Approx a year later, Rush released Signals. Point being, I wore both albums out. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it seemed that Rush and Saga had something in common aurally. Oh wait, it must be a Canada thing!..LOL.

@MegaJoker1967: I agree - but they were just a bit too musically intellectual to hit completely. On par with bands like Yes, EL&P etc. Luckily we are a few who dig SAGA!
These guys rock! I was in a cover band back in the '80s and we played this tune - I was the kbd (and key-foot) player, and learned the parts off the tape by ear. I just played what I heard - you could have knocked me over with a feather when I found out that Saga had two keyboard players!
The sound at 3:08 is, or sounds a lot like, a pipe organ stop called a Vox Humana, for what it's worth.
@godiamone Merry Xmas! Y'know, i belatedly thought there was a newcomer to a SAGA song and mistakenly hit the wrong "thumb" button. But still, I've noticed a tendency among the anti-societal or intellectually deprived to flatly make the statement that "Led Zeppelin sucks", "Queensryche sucks", "Tesla is bubble-gum pop" purely because he had to quit school because of his illiteracy, "high school graduates are pussies", he hates the world because of his low-aptitude, has to be contrary about all.
OMG.. You guys can't be serious... or really really high.... SAGA is a great band.... and so is Triumph.. and Zebra, but you can't compare them to RUSH.. ...Rush was really into Concept Album sort of like Moody Blues... they didn't care if you liked it.. they played what THEY liked to play. By the time the 80's rolled around.. they just did the technical stuff to make a living....... I'm not saying who is better , I like them all a lot. "Let's not BICker and ARGue over who killed who!" -MP
@LoganIV2112 Agreed my friend it seems the generation of today will hear a few songs from some bands and almost want to trash that band,Rush and Triumph are Canadas two hard kegend bands that stuck it out especially Rush.They have the Proffesor on the drum kit Neil Peart is the best drummer.Triumph is another legendary band and the stage shows are awesome.Rush holds the record for there consistentcy as three members still hold it together lets not forget,Goddo,B.T.O.Max Webster.April wine,prism
Bands like Saga and Triumph just don't get their due. Though I like Triumph better because Rik Emmett is a guitar God ( look up their US festival 83 set - it's crazy tight) - so many great bands like Saga never got their respect. I loved Saga and hand all their all their early LP's.
i missed the Rush Saga comparison, so i'll just chime in, Saga would technically destroy Rush...Ian Crichton is perhaps one of the godfathers of the technical guitar(yet no one has ever heard of him).Rush has Neil Peart,that's it, Rush was just mainstream popular.Saga were originators, for which no one will reference,perhaps the greatest band most have never heard about,and will never imitate
Opinion is one thing,but Saga is perhaps the biggest hidden gem in rock music history...fact
@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA-80's did it but they were comparing apple & oranges. Rush has & always will come out ahead over many Rock bands for their originality, use of classical riffs & jazzy style (like Zeplin,Yes,etc). Can anyone say this about Saga (which also 1 of my favorite band)? No way. Saga's originality is about their progressive (psychedelic if I may) style & electronics. As U C these 2 great bands are from different spectrums. Where would Muse be without Saga?Now compare them two or Triumph.
That's why i say "technically destroy Rush", it's hard to think of any band that was a technically precise as Saga. Of course they aren't as varied as Rush(obviously not as popular), but i think Saga deserves mention for what they've done.
@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA Triumph would kill them both :) Rik Emmett alone is the single best talent (neal peart is a close second). Fact is I saw Rush and Triumph live and anyone who saw them both live would condider Rush Zombies compared to Triumph. Rush amped up Peart on their studio stuff. He's very good but no one sang and axed like Rik Emmett. Look up the US Festial 83' set here and awe. But I wish I saw Saga Live. Not sure they ever did NY when I was a fan. I have all their early albums.
well, nice post, as i've seen Triumph a few times, never saw Rush though. While Emmett is sick, my point is per the technical playing of Ian, he was certainly unique, especially and in particular how he and the keys harmonizations were almost unbelievable.
Check these guys out, they're called 'Consider the Source', incredible band especially the guitarist, perhaps as talented as any i've seen in a damn long time. They play very technical, yet free...wow
SAGA HAS TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK GROUPS VERY PROGRESSIVE AND AHEAD OF THEIR TIME ALWAYS NOW AND FOREVER!! THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN TONS OF MORE CREDIT THEN THEY GOT:):) AWESOME FOR SURE:):)
WRONG! Emphatically WRONG! They are both excellent in their own right, but to say that Rush is superior is simply just your opinion. I feel that Saga's compositions are superior to Rush's. BTW, Saga's songs are more complex and highly textured, something that a 3-man band simply can't pull off. Just my 2-cents though. Peace.
@TheCprailfan1 Yes, I noticed your comment. There really are illiterates and lazies out there with no talent at all who have to jump to the contrary to knock music that the rest of the world likes.
@chukuni76 yea God forbid someone dislikes something in a world full of opinions. I love Saga, but I have just as much respect for the people who have grown up with different tastes than my own. It's when someone insults this music that they deserve to be called illiterate and lazy, not when they give a thumbs down passing by. The button is there for a reason. This is why people dispute over music, sour opinions, unjustified by anything but one's personal taste. Such is life.
@riveracollazo Compare this to Rush is something just somone that have never listened to Rush or a complete idiot would do, i grant that the 80s sound of Rush is likely to this one, but compare the band Rush with all his career with Saga is just playing stupid.
@Akron162 I agree, Saga doesn't compare to Rush at all. Saga actually has complexity and depth never matched by a band that doesn't even have 1 permanent keyboard player. Also, Ian Crichton is far better more skilled and interesting lead player than the boring and unimaginative Lifeson!
Well considering there were acts like Max webster and kim mitchell opening the show for rush it was only a matter of time that saga would open for rush too. usually the headlining act performs last . Saga found their audience in europe ,typical canadian story, having to leave canada to find success.
Common people, it's a personal matter of a opinion. You think Saga is better, that's great. You think Rush is better, that's dandy. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Listen people. Saga rules and that's just a fact. Saga has produced one great album after another. Listen to Images at Twlight vs. 2112. Saga wins!! They are still around and still delivering just like Rush. But if I compare, let's say, Cygnus X-1 (a great tune) with The Interview, Saga wins hands down again!!. Plus Rush being #2 isn't so bad. At least there above Triumph, Aldo Nova, Loverboy, Red Rider, and Celine Dion.
@xtroxtro1 People have the right to listen and champion Celine Dion. It's just that simple. Listening to this Saga tune, after so long without thinking about it, is awesome. (Wind Him Up) Some of it reminds me of Asia. They're ok. Saga, cool.</:-)
Rush #2 to Saga? Are you mad? look at the credentials... Anyone who thinks that doesn't know music, and you can stop pretneding you do. Yes this is a great song.. But Rush didn't become Rush.. without being #1.
Ah yes, another classic song from the lost era of rock and roll...the early 1980's, which was also played on album rock station WSLQ - Q99 ROCKS ROANOKE !
I heard 'On the Loose' about a year ago on the radio for the first time ever so I decided to download about 10 tracks or so and make a playlist. Epic Sim City 4 custom background music!
@compelx try any King Crimson from Discipline album or later for SC4; they did some live improvs that melt into the game. Seven Teas, Beautiful Rainbow, Thela Hun Ginjeet (original features a background monologue about NYC's crime) or even Heavy ConstruKction.
@PeacefulColours - Too Funny. I remember in Gr. 7 we had to create an aerobics routine around a song of our choice as part of a gym assignment. Guess what my choice was......oh and I got an A!! :)
Another great song from a bygone era - the early 1980's... album rock radio's glory years. Used to come home from middle school with no computer, no cell phone, but with a nice stereo to crank up with hits like this! The best days of my life.
@CaptNemo100 The good news is that you can now come home and crank up the computer on youtube and kick back....use technology accordingly....no rap, just classic rock :)
These tunes get stuck in my head for days after. Can't get the catchy riffs and hooks out of my head. Lady Gaga some of these and put a modern Dr Luke styled beat and Will I Am 808 groove. Get some attractive dancer/frontwoman to release these and most folks in the US would eat it up and not even care if you said they were old Canadian prog rock band, Saga, covers. These are increadible pop hooks!
I listen to a lot of rap now, but I always used to listen to this when I was a little bit younger and it is indeed one of the best songs of that time. Still in my memory and mind forever because it's one of the dopest songs.
@BBQFanNo1 I guess you just haven't heard real rap then. There is some really good stuff, you just haven't heard it. If you're referring to shitty rappers that only make the raps to make money then yes that rap is shit, don't just judge an entire genre based on shit rap.
@BooSpriter I've never been a big rap fan, but you're right, especially some of the old-school stuff from Run D.M.C. & "Rapper's Delight" from the Sugarhill Gang.

My first record was one called Llena tu cabeza de Rock, for the mexican market and this song was one of my favorites....Almost 30 years later I am hearing this once again!!!
They sure as hell don't make em like this anymore, its a shame. For those who don't know, this is called talent, back in the day when people could actually sing. We need more bands these days like SAGA, Honeymoon Suite, Santers, Boston, The Eagles, .... you get the point. Most bands nowadays lack that fundamental lynchpin required in any excellent band, and that is called "chemistry". Anyways, that's my 2 cents..... count it.
This song give me Goosebumps every time. Saga is VERY underrated, they should get the amount of exposure these no talented fuckers like Justin Beeber, Milee Cyrus & Lady Gah Gah.
Defenatly my favorite song by Saga. But just a question for anyone who played video games back in teh Playstation and N64 days. Dosnt the intro to this sound like the Main Gate Theme from Megaman Legends (Megaman64 if it was on the N64)
I remember having this album back in the day. I was watching an Iron Maiden interview today and their drummer Nicko McBrain mentions this album as one of his favorites. Kinda cool how musical tastes that seem so different end up intersecting.
Awesome song along with "On the Loose" and a few others!! Brings back some great memories!! I remember buying this when it first came out - Still have the cassette!! I was 11!! Efffing Awesome!!!
It doesn't get much gayer than this. Give yourself a pat on the back... Not many people could survive through this much fagotry. During the 80's this was about as gay as you could get. You did good faggit!
@thadbadass This was badass in the 80s. What are you talking about? This is the early 80s; it wasn't until the late 80s that music got really lame. Then the 90s....sheesh. Has anyone listened to 90s alternative lately? Sounds like junk. That's just my opinion, of course.
@thadbadass Yeah, you clearly are desperate to get sodomized by a splintery broom handle. It's always the ones who go on and on and on AND ON about "gay" this and "faggot" that who are always buried the furthest back in the closet. Why don't you start frequenting airport bathrooms until some horny politician gives you "the sign?" ROFL you freak
Not surprisingly (due to rather close proximity to Toronto), this group was quite widely played in Syracuse 1982-85. Sadly slipped into oblivion now...
Thanks for posting. Love this song and of course I could never remember who did it! Think of all the awesome old songs we never think about anymore!?! DAMN.
@evolution4407 I don't know... Do you know exactly how varied Rush's catalogue has been? From hard rock to ponderous sideline suites to reggae to synth pop to modern jazz, Rush has done it.
The ultimate energy-kick! SAGA forever and ever! They have created music that lifts me up when the days are very much grey. A walk with my dogs and SAGA in my ears - I can do miracles.... =)

Saw the band in France on Worlds apart tour, I was 13yo... the best concert I've ever been to ! the guy opening was a blind canadian guitar genious!! sh**! what's his name ??? he had his guitar on his knees playing blues stuf... I'm getting old !
@BlackDragon1963 Jeff Healey... yes, a great great show he gave ! So RIP but true musicians never die my friend, they keep on living somewhere between our head and our heart. Thank you anyway ! Jeff Healey... great memories !
@4BellaHeike ain't SAGA fantastic Bella ? how did you find my comment ??? that's cool :))) Healey is great memory to me, and Saga they just blew the mind of the kid I was when I 1st saw them in France for this Worlds Apart Tour.
@xtroxtro1 Sorry friend, Saga does have their moments, esp. a couple decades ago with a whole string of good albums.. but Rush keeps on pumping out classic after classic right down to their latest effort. Although I would like to, I just can't say the same for Saga.
This is my favorite song ever, my friends mocked me for playing it so much. It is very uplifting and addictive song, I have listened to it about 2000 times over the past 29 years and never tire of it.
I love that so many of you feel this is the best or near best song ever, my friends mocked me for playing this so much back when I was a teen when this came out, I really feel this is probably the best songs ever, and sadly very underrated, probably because it is too long for pop radio stations. 70's and 80's music will live for many centuries.
WaldoSkates 80'S is long gone, of course there gonna play it in the under ground, not the main, still maybe be played, doesnt mean its the 80's its just remembering it now..
Man, I was so SO SO into this song when it first came out. It's like Prism, Rush and Toto put in a blender. But I liked On The Loose even more.

@compelx try any King Crimson from Discipline album or later for SC4; they did some live improvs that melt into the game. Seven Teas, Beautiful Rainbow, Thela Hun Ginjeet (original features a background monologue about NYC's crime) or even Heavy ConstruKction.

These tunes get stuck in my head for days after. Can't get the catchy riffs and hooks out of my head. Lady Gaga some of these and put a modern Dr Luke styled beat and Will I Am 808 groove. Get some attractive dancer/frontwoman to release these and most folks in the US would eat it up and not even care if you said they were old Canadian prog rock band, Saga, covers. These are increadible pop hooks!

They sure as hell don't make em like this anymore, its a shame. For those who don't know, this is called talent, back in the day when people could actually sing. We need more bands these days like SAGA, Honeymoon Suite, Santers, Boston, The Eagles, .... you get the point. Most bands nowadays lack that fundamental lynchpin required in any excellent band, and that is called "chemistry". Anyways, that's my 2 cents..... count it.

@thadbadass This was badass in the 80s. What are you talking about? This is the early 80s; it wasn't until the late 80s that music got really lame. Then the 90s....sheesh. Has anyone listened to 90s alternative lately? Sounds like junk. That's just my opinion, of course.
