Rush 2112 Discovery/Presentation

Guitar-Alex Lifeson
Bass/Vocals-Geddy Lee
Drums-Neil Peart

The Protagonist
The third section, "Discovery", introduces the main character who finds a guitar in a remote cave behind a waterfall. Alex Lifeson builds up from simple open string guitar playing into increasingly complex patterns and chords, showing the man's progress as he teaches himself to play the guitar.
Printed on the album were the lyrics "Chords that build high like a mountain" and Geddy sang it this way for the 1996 live album, but the original lyrics were the same way as recorded, with the word "sounds" instead of "chords"
Confident that the Priests will be impressed with his discovery, he brings the guitar before them in part four, "Presentation". The dialogue between the man and the Priests alternates between the gentle guitar work and clear pitch of the man, and the hard-rocking guitars and shrieking pitch of the Priests. Ultimately, the Priests dismiss the instrument and destroy it

  • discovery by rush a.k.a. the tuning song

  • @EvenFlowGaming This album definitely rocked but the approach to the writing of the lyrics and music is progressive. One of the finest rock albums ever and yet the Rock Hall of Fame has seen fit to ignore these guys...bunch of douche bags.

  • Have loved this album for the last twenty five years. only now am I asking myself where did this concept come from. Exactly 100 years after beginning of the age of Aquarius, 2012. The year we are expecting vast changes to the planet and the enlightenment of mankind.

  • " RUSH " is and has always been a part of my music life. They are among the best.. and their art... is truely artistic perfection of its own. I went to their " Exit stage left " concert in the early 80's.. it was magical to say the least. : )
