Was actually thinking the other day that Rush should do an Unplugged kind of thing. It'd be awesome to hear the songs bare and probably show just how powerful they are.
@eaglebowwer rush or kiss hasn't really revoulutionized music in a large scale way like mettallica has or U2(hate them btw). alot of great artists havent gotten in like the allman brothers.
@rushsps250 I agree that Kiss hasn't but you've gotta be fucking nutso of you don't think Rush has influenced music. What their documentary, so many musicians were influenced by them. Metallica was born because of Rush you dipshit, without Rush, Kirk Hammet would have never learned how to play the guitar. He says it himself.
being 15 i am surrounded by all of todays "popular" or "cool" music, ill give it to them, some BANDS (not those stupid autotuned artists) are pretty good and talented, nobody listens for talent anymore. and talent? yeah, rush definitely has it...
My friend knows my love for Rush, but she hates them. I made her listen to this song; she said she liked the guitar but hated Geddy's voice. I told her to kill herself. Lol.
@EvilDemonKidGuyMan Someone just couldn't learn to resist anything but temptation. They couldn't learn to co-exist with anything but pain. They couldn't learn to compromise anything but their desires. Most importantly, they couldn't learn to get along with anything they couldn't explain.
@sketchyfolk Yeah, but this is Rush so even a down tempo acoustic song from them'll make you freak out. Don't deny that you'd scream like a little girl if you were there too man. We all would.
@mst2112 - I so totally agree. Guitar players would NEVER underestimate Alex. In most bands there are two guitar players - rhythym and lead. In Rush there is only one - who sounds like two or more. He's a master at switching between rhythym and lead, chords, the whammy bar, etc. HE IS EPIC!
"I could learn to compromise, anything but my desires"
That is POWERFUL!
Since the first time i heard this song that phrase REAAAALLY impacted me.. Neil Peart is a God! I don't have the words to express the level of greatness this consumated musicians are in.. nor i have the words to express my love for this 3 individuals. They're just unarguably great.. it's just something i can't explain.
RUSH is beyond the hall of fame, the best band on the planet for rock music, in my opinion...the songs all tell a story and touch you down deep... Just for instance; lest we not forget "Everyday Glory"... "Hope"... "Cold Fire"... "The Color of Right".. "Bravado" ....I could go on not even touching the surface of spectrum of music RUSH has offered to their fans..
One of my favorite songs >.>, I need to learn it for guitar! ...Better start practicing again hehe. I love Rush's music and the messages their songs bring and how it hits you ^.^. They been touring longer than I've been on this earth and still havn't been inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame... WHY?! We should start our own hall of fame of great musicians =o, fuck the guys that run it (The rock n roll hall of fame that is)!

.....who cares about the rock n roll hall of fame . Rush was , still is and always will be inducted in our hearts . that is the place they have all always been in and that is exactly where they ll stay .....forever in our hearts . they are simply great and someone ... someday will give them the recognition they truly deserve .
@brilaf01 They are in several hall's of fame,have received the Order of Canada and recently enshrined in the UK...so there not in the U S shit hole...why because they don't compromise to the ignorant...so fuck the ignorant!!
@lokibloo well, for starters, you must prove to the R+R hall of fame that missing the U and hitting the I key is only a matter of 1 centimeter. If they accept your proposal, then you will be "indicted" to the hall of fame. pretty simple really.
In a trip to Uk I listened to Rush for the first time (Reading, 1980) and I was astonished. Since then I've been a great fan of them. For me it is one of the best bands in the history, for the spirit of their lyrics and music, for that nice combination of melody and rhythm, for their quality of sound and, though it was not necessary, also for their human quality. I never saw them on stage, what a shame. Very nice acoustic version!! Thank you Rollthefemers!!!
Had to put this on my Favorites list. I love this song and it's very powerful played in this fashion. I love seeing the different playing styles - Geddy plays in much the same way as he does the bass and Alex.... well, Alex is just the best. BTW, I'm *cough* over 50 and female and have loved Rush since about 1980 (pre-Moving PIctures, though- so I get props for that LOL).
I wrote the rock n roll hall of fame and asked them why rush was not there..they told me a bunch of shit!1 ooh they don't project meaning full messages and some other crap ..well needless to say I tore the guy a new asswhole and dared him to compare their talent to any of the worthless rapers that they inducted into the their shithole hall of fame!!! or any one else for that matter!! RUSH!!!!!
One of my all time favorite Rush songs... I am only 19 years old and I love every single Rush song! They are a band that can appeal to all ages.. I love all 3 of them.. Seeing them in concert is just so surreal, every single time limelight makes me cry idk why lol

@ladielucks Just goes to show how universal Rush is. I've been a fan since around 1980, I'm 44 yrs old now. That a 19 yr. old and a 44 yr. old can love the same band, and that band being Rush, which isn't your typical commercial band is in my opinion amazing. Keep listening and enjoy forever!!
Bought this CD just before boarding a flight from Philly to Seattle in 1996 - my first flight. I rented a car and drove up into British Columbia where the majesticness of this album seemed to bounce off the walls of the Fraser River Canyon north of Hope, BC.
@Triplecenturies An epic drive isn't it! My uncle has been driving big rigs on that route for years and he says it still gets to him! You might appreciate my vid entitled "Vancouver to Smithers slideshow, BC, Canada, 22 Dec 07" :)
I LOVE the intensity in Geddes face during this song ... and I LOVE when Alex makes his 'faces' when he is getting into one of his solos ;p) I LOVE to see them LOVE what they are doing and I LOVE when we get to see it !!!

These guys are simlpy amazing. Whether they're rockin', or playing a stipped song such as this one. There skills as musicians are incredible. I can't think of anyone who sings, plays the keys, bass, & pedals like Geddy does. Alex is one of the best guitarist' in tmusic. Neil Peart is arguably the best drummer of all time (alive or deceased). Year after year they're one of biggest concert draws in the world, & album after album they release excellent, high quality music.
the last few dozen views have probably been from me :P..this is and will remain as one of greatest songs out there..its so powerful and has absolutely beautiful lyrics...i've just recently discovered the glorious-ness that is Rush and I can honestly say that are now becoming my favourite band by a longshot!!!
I totally agree, its really something, it is indeed very moving. The studio version is great but this acoustic adaptation is beyond words. Ill never forget the first time I saw them do this in concert, I was stuned. It always came after peart's drum solo, so he could catch his breath. Its awesome discovering rush, my older bro got me hooked on it. You should check out more rush, they put out quite a few albums since early 70s. They are simply amazing. Often they do better live, which is rare
Rush is the greatest band in the world period. I love all of them, and just about all of their songs, i hope they never stop touring. this is such a powerful song, i get goose bumps. and there is so much more i could say about them. LONG LIVE RUSH
People always talk about their death metal bands and how those guitarists are the best... But really it's just a bunch of chords that sound like trash... Lifeson's solos aren't pieces of shit, they actually sound good... He's the bridge between the classics and modern rock and he is simply the greatest
Most people see guitarists out of bands that just strum about 2 chords during the whole song as 'god' just because the band is well known. Since im 14, me and my twin are the only ones who like Rush in my school but i dont give a shit what people thing cos Rush is just amazing and the most talented band ever!
Last night on Palladia they aired the R30 tour... This song just made me smile to no end it's so amazing... They're such great performers too because they're not just playing to make the big money (haha rush reference), but they're also just having fun
Good to know that there are young people like yourself out there that can understand and appreciate Rush. They are true role models and inspiration for young bands and musicians. (and everyone else too!)
As a big fan of death metal, and a bigger fan of Rush, I'm going to have to disagree. There are many death metal guitarists that are able to play great solos and riffs, like Trey Azagthoth and the late Chuck Schuldiner. True, there are many death metal solos that sound "noisy", but that's due to the atonal nature of the music (most of the time, at least). But "a bunch of chords", it isn't. Unless you're thinking of watered-down deathcore like Suicide Silence, which isn't even death metal.
@EMBOBZ2112 The talent is the reason. Alex plays with 2 of the most recognized greats of their instruments. most bands thats the guitarist. Considering they have one of the best in bass and drums. He is far overshadowed. Alex is probably one of the best there is, no matter who says what. Def my fav guitarist.
I couldn't agree more...I don't think I ever heard a sloppy or bad live performance from them. They are true professionals. Alex is a great guitarist...one of my all time favorites. What else can be said about Geddy and Neil that their music hasn't already. "TheRushBravado" made a good point that Alex is the only giutarist and plays both rhythm and lead like there are 2 people. They fill the stadium with sound.
@dvdfrnzwbr Rush doesnt do that because thats not what real music is man. Is embarasing for me to grow up know, music is all about bangin some hooker doin drugs or wanting to be rich. this music here^ is fealing and comes from the heart and mind not the head under yur belt.
Amazing. I just saw this last night on VH1 classic rock. Neil Peart had just finished the simply stunning "Der Trommler" drum solo which took my speech away and I was awe-struck at how technically skilled Neil Peart is. And then Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson come out with this beautiful song which inspires such beauty in a person. 5 stars all the way :D
I saw them on the Snakes and Arrows tour in Hershey, PA. It was an outdoor concert in the middle of July. Everyone was sweating their asses off. They started to play this song and it just poured. The best (of many) Rush shows I've ever seen.
And really music can be like poetry, it has different meanings for each person.
I like to think of it like this: "You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray": You can give up without having any chances, and never have hope anyways....
"Pray without surrender": You can always have Hope without having to give up.
you're right on, it will mean different things to different people. To me it's like the line in the U2's song: "If you wanna kiss the sky/better learn how to kneel/(on your knees boy!)". While you can pray without surrendering your selfish desires ("please God let ME win"), it's not REAL prayer. Real prayer means completely surrender yourself to a higher power (God, Allah, The Universe, whatever). It's a Buddhist concept, and it's beautiful. Someday maybe I'll be able to pull it off.
...and for those non-religious types feel free to substitute the word "meditate" for "prayer", which is probably closer to his real intent, but it screws up the lyrical patter :)
I think now, after Neil's crazy solo Alex plays Hope, on his 12 -string
At least thats what they did when they played in Ottawa during the Snakes and Arrows tour. Too bad, I was looking forward to hearing this song live :(
I think now after Neil's crazy solos Alex usually does that guitar solo thingy from the Snakes and Arrows album, at least that's what they did in Ottawa during the Snakes and Arrows tour
They did this twice when I saw them in 2002 (July 12, 2002) and then in 2004 (August 12, 2004 at Tweeter Center, Mansfield, MA (second best Rush show I went to after June 23, 1997 at same venue which that gig's "2112" performance went on Different Stages)). The 2004 performances of "Resist" was more powerful acoustic than on Rush in Rio. I saw them a week before this performance and Rush were phenomenal as always.
this is after obaterista. he is probably resting thats why he isnt playing. i just wonder if he is still sitting in his drumming spot or somewhere else
In the documentary from the Rush in Rio DVD called ``The Boys in Brazil``, Neil explains that he prefer to sit in the dark for a while and let Alex and Geddy play just the two of them. Even Alex propose the idea of adding some percussion to Neil but he rejected it.

Ill never forget the first time I saw them do this in concert, I was stuned. It always came after peart's drum solo, so he could catch his breath. Its awesome discovering rush, my older bro got me hooked on it. You should check out more rush, they put out quite a few albums since early 70s. They are simply amazing. Often they do better live, which is rare

Why is Alex such an underrated guitarist?? Just looking at this shows how amazing at guitar he is!
A beautiful song, i love Rush!

People always talk about their death metal bands and how those guitarists are the best... But really it's just a bunch of chords that sound like trash... Lifeson's solos aren't pieces of shit, they actually sound good... He's the bridge between the classics and modern rock and he is simply the greatest
13timmy30 2 years ago
Most people see guitarists out of bands that just strum about 2 chords during the whole song as 'god' just because the band is well known. Since im 14, me and my twin are the only ones who like Rush in my school but i dont give a shit what people thing cos Rush is just amazing and the most talented band ever!
EMBOBZ2112 2 years ago
Last night on Palladia they aired the R30 tour... This song just made me smile to no end it's so amazing... They're such great performers too because they're not just playing to make the big money (haha rush reference), but they're also just having fun

Good to know that there are young people like yourself out there that can understand and appreciate Rush. They are true role models and inspiration for young bands and musicians. (and everyone else too!)
davegto67 2 years ago
As a big fan of death metal, and a bigger fan of Rush, I'm going to have to disagree. There are many death metal guitarists that are able to play great solos and riffs, like Trey Azagthoth and the late Chuck Schuldiner. True, there are many death metal solos that sound "noisy", but that's due to the atonal nature of the music (most of the time, at least). But "a bunch of chords", it isn't. Unless you're thinking of watered-down deathcore like Suicide Silence, which isn't even death metal.

@EMBOBZ2112 The talent is the reason. Alex plays with 2 of the most recognized greats of their instruments. most bands thats the guitarist. Considering they have one of the best in bass and drums. He is far overshadowed. Alex is probably one of the best there is, no matter who says what. Def my fav guitarist.
jemmani22 1 year ago
@jemmani22:
I couldn't agree more...I don't think I ever heard a sloppy or bad live performance from them. They are true professionals. Alex is a great guitarist...one of my all time favorites. What else can be said about Geddy and Neil that their music hasn't already. "TheRushBravado" made a good point that Alex is the only giutarist and plays both rhythm and lead like there are 2 people. They fill the stadium with sound.

@EMBOBZ2112 Why is alex such an underrated guitarist? Because rush doesn't sing about girls shak'n their asses.

@dvdfrnzwbr Rush doesnt do that because thats not what real music is man. Is embarasing for me to grow up know, music is all about bangin some hooker doin drugs or wanting to be rich. this music here^ is fealing and comes from the heart and mind not the head under yur belt.

Amazing. I just saw this last night on VH1 classic rock. Neil Peart had just finished the simply stunning "Der Trommler" drum solo which took my speech away and I was awe-struck at how technically skilled Neil Peart is. And then Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson come out with this beautiful song which inspires such beauty in a person. 5 stars all the way :D

I saw them on the Snakes and Arrows tour in Hershey, PA. It was an outdoor concert in the middle of July. Everyone was sweating their asses off. They started to play this song and it just poured. The best (of many) Rush shows I've ever seen.

I have a question. Do the lyrics go:
"You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray without surrender."
or
"You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray. Pray without surrender."
And what exactly does the lyric mean?
BigBusiness5 2 years ago
I think It means that you can give up without even having any hopes, but it's better to keep going while hoping for something good.
I also think the song is about human nature and about perseverance.
luistijerina 2 years ago
Its the second one.
And really music can be like poetry, it has different meanings for each person.
I like to think of it like this: "You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray": You can give up without having any chances, and never have hope anyways....
"Pray without surrender": You can always have Hope without having to give up.
bluntman1138 2 years ago
you're right on, it will mean different things to different people. To me it's like the line in the U2's song: "If you wanna kiss the sky/better learn how to kneel/(on your knees boy!)". While you can pray without surrendering your selfish desires ("please God let ME win"), it's not REAL prayer. Real prayer means completely surrender yourself to a higher power (God, Allah, The Universe, whatever). It's a Buddhist concept, and it's beautiful. Someday maybe I'll be able to pull it off.

...and for those non-religious types feel free to substitute the word "meditate" for "prayer", which is probably closer to his real intent, but it screws up the lyrical patter :)

I think it means that you cannot pray without surrendering yourself to whichever god you worship.
or it could mean
You can surrender without praying for mercy but you cannot pray for mercy without surrendering.

They did this twice when I saw them in 2002 (July 12, 2002) and then in 2004 (August 12, 2004 at Tweeter Center, Mansfield, MA (second best Rush show I went to after June 23, 1997 at same venue which that gig's "2112" performance went on Different Stages)). The 2004 performances of "Resist" was more powerful acoustic than on Rush in Rio. I saw them a week before this performance and Rush were phenomenal as always.

In the documentary from the Rush in Rio DVD called ``The Boys in Brazil``, Neil explains that he prefer to sit in the dark for a while and let Alex and Geddy play just the two of them. Even Alex propose the idea of adding some percussion to Neil but he rejected it.
