Amazing song!! Memorable chorus ' Net boy Net girl send your signal around the world put your message in a modem and through it into cyber sea'. Tear..
Maaaan ! After being a Rush fan for more than 30 years, I wished, yearn for, and prayed for this song to be included in Rush in Rio, R30, or Snakes arrows live, along with Dog Years, Time and Motion, Alien Shore and many more, it's all right playing Limelight again or Spirit, But, come ooon! Alex, Neil, Geddy, you don't need more fans, just please th old ones, Pleeeeeease !
Although it's kind of sad how fast Alex turned into an old fat guy...his playing is still great, but man, he just seemed to age faster than Geddy or Neil...
Prophetic...this came out on an album...what...12 years ago as a song about human beings losing true contact with each other thanks to the "miracles" of technology and thanks to "texting" and e-mailing and instant messaging...well, here were are.
@DaNoid1 I see that thought...but I really respectfully disagree with that. I see technology expanding to let people who would have never had a snowballs chance in hell of ever meeting getting together...whether it's love, sex, anime, technology, science...whatever. Your right in some ways, but dead wrong in others. It's an "AX"..build a house or kill your family...you decide...
Wow, fanboy much? I think Neil would be the *first* person to invite introspection and constructive criticism into his work, but if you think he's "kick (his) queer ass", a) take a listen to "Nobody's Hero" the next time you drop a Queer Bomb, and b) You're an idiot... and not an "idot".

Very true. T4E seems to have either high or low points lyrically, with very little middle ground. But does "Resist", "Driven" and "Totem" make up for this and "Dog Years"?
I don't know...lyrically, it sure didn't stand the test of time well. Wow Neil, writing a song about the internet aged as well as writing a song about the space shuttle

I told my friend at work what I'd done, and he promptly hit me upside the head and gave me the complete rundown on the band and made me listen to "Archives" and the whole "TEST for Echo" album. (1) I now know who Mr. Lifeson is, (2) I will NOT get drunk and be a rock groupie on YT, and (3) Rush made a new fan.
My sister sent me this song along with a vid of my second oldest nephew playing hockey about ten years ago. (Net boy, net girl....get it...ha-ha!!!) I fell in love with the song before I even knew who sang it...11 years later, through a friend at work, I found out it was RUSH!!! (And that thier drummer wrote it.) If all music(especially techno) was still relavent 10-20 years from now, I'd be sooooo happy....chuck from oklahoma
