I gotta say, while the rhythm section performance is awesome (does anyone expect otherwise?) I think this song and The Twilight Zone are pretty shitty as songs. A Passage to Bangkok, Tears, and Something For Nothing make up for it though.
@Eyedunno I have to say, i think Lessons is a fantastic song. It's always been my favourite song from 2112. Contender for one of my favourite Rush songs ever!!!
The first side of 2112, being the EPIC that it is, sometimes overshadows the great songs on the 2nd side of the album (yes, I guess I'm showing my age with the album reference). I've always loved this song, "The Twilight Zone", and "Tears", not to mention the SWEET "Passage to Bangkok" which has one of the greatest riffs in the history of R&R. Regardless of the so-called Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & their obssession with artists they think are/were "important", Rush will always be in my HOF.
I'd like to know why this song never gets radio play when they play Rush. It has such a cool groove to it, and Geddy's vocals are pretty awesome. He was still able to sing hard on this album.
@tonusaitis Because of the crtics on Caress Of Steel which was the album B4 this one so their not going to pay attention to it unfortunatly. They only look at hits like Spirit Of Radio, Limelight, Red Barchetta, Freewill all that stufffff oh yeah and Tom Sawyer lol got to say that one
why did i have to be born into a generation full of ignorant spoiled brats with that noise that's supposed to be "today's" music. apparently your not cool unless u listen to or wear whats in style. i hate ppl who think that way these "artist of today" don't compare to rush and never will. btw I'm 19
@shadowspain101 You know you're just as ignorant right? There is, has been and always will be great artists in every era. To ignore classics like this is heinous, but so is ignoring modern classics.The thing is that you have to dig, it's harder than just finding the oldies which have gone through the nostalgia filter (the bad is forgotten in time the good glorified) but it pays off. I'd skip the charts though, not entirely devoid of good music but there's definately a low signal to noise ratio
@deveeoos Great artist of the modern era? dude, if i really wanted to, really felt like it, all I'd have to do is go down to the nearest computer shop buy some type of audio editing soft ware, rip of some awesome artist from the past remix (destroy) the instrumental half of the track and and some poorly written lyrics that involve sex booze drugs with poor done dance for a music video, and now I've got today's next greatest hit. lmfao. that all the music of today is 80% of the time.
@deveeoos BUT!there are those who cant sing a note right to save their life, but slap an auto tuner between the mic and the speaker system and you got a your self a tone def hottie that now has the voice of an angel..... or an unattractive robot. if you haven't got the point yet, it's that computers can do some amazing frickin stuff. which takes me to my 2nd point, there "are" no great artist now, just 90% with good tech. screwing over the talented 8%, because that's not whats ppl want

What can sound better than this? I was 16 in late 76 when this album came out and can't get enough of it even to this day! Rush is part of our canadian heritage and an awesome heritage it is.
What can sound better than this? I was 16 in late 76 when this album came out and can't get enough of it even to this day! Rush is part of our canadian heritage and an awesome heritage it is.
I first heard this song when I was 14. I am now 49. Not sure how anyone could not appreciate this epic song. Nevertheless, I am not responsible for anyone's limitations....
First time I've heard this song in over 30 years. And around 1:30 I found myself waiting for the music to fade so the 8 TRACK CAN SWITCH TO THE NEXT TRACK!! Nice to hear the complete song without those annoying technicalities.
I'm one of the younger Rush fans and all of my friends hate rush. I did a school music project on them and we got to show a you tube video, so i showed vital sings and no one liked it. All my friends like Eminem and Justin Bieber.
@rushgirl16 Understandable! You listen to your junglebunny, bubblegum La Compton music. I'm just happy not to be part or your generation but if you put a dislike on Rush you better be ready to be told and put in your proper place. So go wear your fag jeans down to the crotch with your hoodies and listen to something else. Don't listen to Rush because your a brain dead retard and you can't process this kind of music.
@MultiFloyde Umm, exuse me? I said i like rush! I LOVE RUSH! Rush is the greatest rock band in rock history, if you dont like rush than your a fag! Geddy Lee sings like an angel and i know sooo mush about rush. Geddy's real name is Gary Weinrib but his stage name is geddy cause of his mothers accent, most people think its his grandmothers but its his mothers. So im not gonna wear my "fag jeans" im gonna wear my rush shirts! All 8 of them!
I like all Rush,but this song has always been my favorite by them.I just wish the song was longer.Seem odd how all great songs seems short though.Peace to all.
@TheRockenRandall There has been a lot of documentation via interviews as to why Rush decided to create short songs. It all comes down to spacing on vinyl or cassette. There was only so much space to record data to, and they needed to keep in mind continuity of the music. Its kind of cool if you think about it, listening to side A then flipping to B, if it was engineered right, it would not miss a beat
awesome tune....I forgot about this tune until I saw it here on youtube... Thanks for the "Sweet memories". RUSH RULES....especially the old heavy RUSH.
Hell yeah....... takes me right back to highschool ! It's 7:45am on any given weekday in 76,77 and I am in my moms '73 monte carlo with the sunroof open, pissed off. I then click this 8 track of Rush in the player and spark one up. I drive right past the school with the breeze blowing through my hair. Instantly life is good. lol
@RoCk4LiFe90 Yes, it was a good time to be alive. It was a very different world and music was a big part of everything. The music scene and even the people had a very different outlook. The government and society keeps putting pressure on the kids of today to conform. If you want to escape and really want to get in touch with the 70's, listen to the music of the day. It will set you free.
@pso7691 Oh believe me I'm well versed in rock from the 60s, 70s, and 80's. I have been listening to it since I was born (really I have). I have loved this music since I could consciously know what is was (I'm 21 now). That's why I wrote that reply to you, I'm completely jealous of you, I would love to be in a time period where I would fit in.
@dbarnett714 The R&R Hall of Fame is controlled by Jan Wenner of Rolling Stone magazine fame...he is as lame as his magazine. Only those he feels as cool enough are nominated...Rush should definitely be there along with many others like Paul Revere and the Raiders and Tommy James. Wennner is an egocentric moron.
I love this song so much, the guitar tone is fantastic, If you listen to the bass, you can hear where Steve Harris was influenced, Geddy Lee is an amazing bassist, as Neil Peart is a drummer, and Alex Lifeson a guitarist.
This is the music that will live on forever to trancend generation after generation, RUSH FOREVER!
I always loved the way Alex's soloing sounds on this song. He plays the outro with such an urgency and purpose. As for his tone, I dunno about a Strat, but it sounds like his 335 straight through a little Fender Champ cranked to 11. As far as the acoustic part goes I heard he was a fan of Nashville tuning.
I think this group is awesome 3 people do a damn good job excellent muscians not like today what happened to the real groups that play REAL music like RUSH Black SABBATH Iron MAIDon led zepplen ECT.
What a great album(yes,album) I cut my teeth and fingers on this album, Geddy made me learn the bass the right way. truley one of the greatest bands of all time.
This is one of the few times Rush used multi-tracking guitar parts (more than two anyway). There are multiple acoustic guitar parts in the intro (as well as a couple tracks with an acoustic equipped with an electric pickup, the bright and "twangy" sounding part) and one of Terry Brown's great mixes switches from all acoustic to more electric-sounding acoustic in the intro. One of my all time faves of Rush (an often overlooked track too).
@Sophenomenos yea someone told me what composes means. I should not have used that word. Thanks though!! That's what happens when your not a musician.
Why the heck is Marilyn Manson under the similar videos section. He, she, what ever it is doesn't even come close to thinking about comparing to Rush.
I remember when I was 16 my dad took me to a Rush concert and I fell in love. I'm 19 now and I still love them going to see them on August 31st. Can't wait.

If you love horses, Rush, AC/DC, Led Zepplin, Tom Petty, and etc. Watch Horse Shoe Stables. Comming Soon- July the 18th.
P.S mostly for girls, but it does have a boy in it.

@pluckhutma mostly because they play songs that only neil for some reason, this is writen my alex

@bllpg9 True. Alex and Geddy don't have too many songs that they have composed themselves besides the first album.
pluckhutma 1 year ago 2
@pluckhutma actually alex does a lot of composing, its just that neil writes 95% of the lyrics

@Sophenomenos yea someone told me what composes means. I should not have used that word. Thanks though!! That's what happens when your not a musician.

Why the heck is Marilyn Manson under the similar videos section. He, she, what ever it is doesn't even come close to thinking about comparing to Rush.

Alex Lifeson wrote this song -Music and Lyrics- by himself...

Geddy's voice is amazing on this album. High pitched, yet with some rasp and raw power.

I remember when I was 16 my dad took me to a Rush concert and I fell in love. I'm 19 now and I still love them going to see them on August 31st. Can't wait.
