He wrote the vast majority...but not all. There are a few exceptions. (Ie: Lessons, and this one)
Geddy Lee wrote this whole song by himself on a tour bus while playing one of his acoustic basses. He even composed the guitar lines on paper before Alex got a chance to catch wind of the song.
you played the song pretty good but there was a few little fillswhere you kinda did you own thing, now im fifteen and i can playt this song as well as many other rush songs and ive found with rush i dont like to add bass fills cause it is already beautiful :) long live geddy
now, try playing that, singing that, and having written that!!!
Not to mention all the other 200-something songs he's written and the fact occasionally plays the keys/synth and operates the foot pedals all intermittently and sometimes altogether..... That man blows my mind like no one else.....
I don't know if I said that Geddy wrote the lyrics...but I do often make the mistake of saying that. I know for a fact he wrote the lyrics to Farewell to Kings. He didn't write the lyrics for Circumstances.
I don't know, I'm debating by memory...I don't know who said what or who anyone is.
Dude you just made my day ... that's one of my favorite Rush tunes of all time ... A Farewell To Kings ... classic album .. and one of Alex Lifesons best wah wah solos !!! .. great job toddkur
