Rush - The Spirit Of Radio

Begin the day with a friendly voice
A companion unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood

Off on your way, hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the Spirit ever lingers
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude

Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free

All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open hearted
Not so coldly charted
It's really just a question of your honesty, yeah
Your honesty

One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity

For the words of the prophets were written on the studio wall
Concert hall
And echoes with the sounds of salesmen

Alex is one of the best ever because he works at it...even decades after he made a name as one of the best rock guitarists...how many freakin people have these guys played in front of?...I think it's probabaly more than any other rock band...and you can say the Dead...but I think Rush are the greatest Rock entertainers that have ever graced a stage,,,

[Chidanandaji]

Such great lyrics ....and fine, fine music.

saw a different video and thought that in the bridge? around 1:40 there was music in the background and they were syncing, i didn't think it was possible, this video proved my belief was true, niel was hitting the keys on his pad thing for the notes. crisis over
