This is my favorite Rush song! I wish they had played this on their Time Machine tour! (Too bad I was born in 1996 and not fifteen years earlier... I really want to see them them play this song in concert!)
Neil Peart is, in my opinion, the greatest songwriter of all time. Many people might disagree with me, but I have listened to alot of music in my days, and no one's words capture the human experience so eloquently, or reach inside me to the deepest parts of my soul like Neil's do.
(And Geddy was the reason I learned to play bass!)
@TheOriginalAnalogKid actually Neil isn't the songwriter of the band, Geddy and Alex compose the music while Neil supplies the lyrics. I'm sure Neil influences the songwriting process but I would consider Geddy and Alex the songwtriters of RUSH.
A "song" consists of two parts; the MUSIC, and the LYRICS, which are commonly referred to as the "SONG". Just because one does not compose the music for a song that one has written, does not mean that one cannot be referred to as a "songwriter".
@TheOriginalAnalogKid well, that's all good, I personally would refer to him as a great lyricist but not necessarily a great songwriter. In any case these guys always end up turning out a great product "together". I've always heard Neil hands over a bunch of lyrics to the guys and they take them and use them however they see fitting. I think there's a good division of labor between them all.
@TheOriginalAnalogKid Rush is great and the songs are deep. but you should look into the songs of Tool, Pink Floyd and Dave Matthews. they also have very intellectual greatly writtin songs. dont be hypocritical just check it out. Dave matthews - Lie in our graves Satellite of love 95' Tool- Fibbonaci in Laterlus
really???... I appreciate your input brother, but do think I am not familiar with anything other than RUSH? I love Tool. They are tremendous musicians, yes. I am very familiar with their work. I have been listening to Pink Floyd since before you were masturbating to the JCPenney catalog . I am aware of every note, of every song they have ever recorded! ...and for even mentioning Dave Matthews in the same breath as RUSH, Floyd, & tool you should be strung up by your nutsack.
Rush is the best rock band of all time and Steve Nash is one of the best point guards of all time. I guess Canadians do better for themselves than many of my ignorant fellow Americans think they do.
I think this is my new favorite Rush song. It used to be a three-way tie between Anthem, Subdivisions, and Roll the Bones, but this... this is just TOO good. I question whether a band that can write something like this is even human.
One of my personal favorites that no one ever talks about is "Middletown Dreams" on Power Windows. Lyrics and music, powerful. ...Also "Bravado"! (gets me every time!)

Some people say that Alex lifeson or rush isn't anything after the 70's and 80's. Some people just don't like rush.
