There is a line in that song which said " it's understood that every single person would be elsewhere if they could" which is so very true. What a true genius Neil was, what a tragic loss.
42 year old Rush fan here, been a huge fan all my life. "Power Windows" is one of my favorite albums. The sound and lyrics of this song is just amazing. Loving the kick-bass sound from Neil Pearts drums. And the syntheziser melody in the middle part i cant even describe with words. For gods sake, dont forget "The Analog Kid" from the album "Signals", or the masterpiece "Natural Science" from the album "Permanent Waves". That song will drop your jaw to the floor. RIP Neil "The Professor" Peart.
The thing about this song is: I know it was "personal" for Neil...He grew up in a very small town. Worked for a while at a tractor supply store. The drums in this song - they build unlike any other Rush song. The fills keep getting fuller and "angrier" as the song goes on. At the end - he's going full ham on the kit....and I feel that.
Yes it is very deep! A beautiful, touching heart wrenching piece of musical genius from the best band to ever come into my life 46 years ago. The fact that so many people like this song and many other Rush classics gives me hope about the human race. Were not as bad as many think and I believe the bad guys are in the minority. Peace to all who live by it.
awful production sound quality on Presto, thin, hallow, sterile sounding.......not good. Why did they not c/w the high quality sound production in PW? p/g was a better record but again the production sucked.....Neil drums were attenuated, dead sounding, synth over blaring, highs screechy & thins, even the vocals has sibilance, hard to listen too on a good system
The production on this album has that BIG '80's majestic sound to it. It really comes through on The Big Money, Middletown Dreams and Territories. Love it!!
My favourite RUSH CD. Possibly my favourite song. Ive been listening to this CD since it came out. Its 2020 and have only just realised this could lyrically be Subdivisions Pt2. Thats the beauty of RUSH. AMAZING band AMAZING CD. How do you conceive this type of song writing is beyond me. CHEERS!!
Yeah, I can see that. Subdivisions is about an kid (Neil based the song off his childhood), who just wants to fit in, but nobody likes him so he can’t fit in, so he’s just tries to spend time by himself and do what loves. Middletown Dreams is about someone just try to get away from all the craziness and be by himself and do what he wants without being put down. So, I can’t see what you mean with the Subdivisions Part 2 comment.
I’ve been a Rush fan since 1983. When this album first came out I hated it. But as I got older, I realized just how amazing this album is. One of their most underrated.
One of my fav rush tracks. Def my #1 album. Peak Rush in all forms. Lyrics, Instrumentation, mix, solos are incredible on this album. Love Ged's voice on this record..
Totally agree with the music painting a picture with the lyrics. It's called 'Prosody'. From Wikipedia: In music, prosody is the way the composer sets the text of a vocal composition in the assignment of syllables to notes in the melody to which the text is sung, or to set the music with regard to the ambiance of the lyrics. However, the relationship between syllables and melodic notes is just one dimension of musical prosody. According to Pat Pattison, prosody is "The appropriate relationship between elements, whatever they may be." In this sense, every element in a song can and should create prosody, because prosody is "support for what is being said." Love your videos, and have subscribed. Welcome to the Rush Rabbit Hole
I rediscovered "Rush" in 2014. At that time, I was also expecting the birth of my precious son. I often thought about my future child when the "Power Windows" album was playing in the background and I thought about my childhood when I was still listening to "Rush" on the tape recorder. When I hear "Middletown dreams" it gives me goosebumps
My favorite cut on this album.... Gotta rock with this bass line. The premise behind this song is incredible... Dreams transport desires... Drive you when your down
I think Power Windows is one of Rush's most underrated albums. I rank it 6th out of 19. People write it off as lightweight 80s synth-pop. It is so far away from that. Yes, it has an 80s sound but the layering and complexity is amazing. The bass and guitar work are first rate as usual, the lyrics on most of the songs are pretty meaningful. Plus, Geddy's voice is near perfection, 1978-1988 was his sweet spot IMHO.
I agree, Geddy's voice is great on this...one of my very favourite albums. A rush fan once told me that Neil did some of his writing for this album while in my home town...Southport, UK (he supposedly had family in the Hillside area). I'd like it to be true...can any Rush fan confirm??
I love with a huge amount of Rush songs, every time the music changes, the first thing to pop into mind is: "ooh, now what's going to happen?" because they change up so much. The second thing: "Wait, what? It's over already?" :( after a 15 or 20 minute long song. lol lol
80's Rush is probably my favorite period for them. of course it is all good but the melody's and compositions of the 80's stuff just has so much more depth
This song still gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. The guitar playing has soouuul and emotion, man Lifeson was awesome with the solos on these albums. Three geniuses together in one band.
Un tema increible. Probablemente mi favorito dentro de PW, que es un excelente album. Las letras, la melodia, el bajo, la voz, la bateria !! Todo es perfecto. Y la guitarra es simplemente fenomenal. 💙 Rush
This era is undoubtedly my favorite, followed by the brief one after this, and the one after that. Their "classics" from the early 80's and earlier songs are actually towards the bottom of my list. I just prefer the more on-point lyrics instead of those flighty fantasy, or more abstract (Tom Sawyer) ones Neil wrote earlier. And as a guitarist, NOTHING compares to Alex's ingenuity during this time! His true talent really shines through. The album before this "Grace Under Pressure" and right after this one "Hold Your Fire" and two of their best, in my very controversial opinion :p
Great to see you discovering the "songwriting" era of RUSH! A lot of "old school" rockers dismiss anything produced after Signals (1982) which is a shame as RUSH produced so much great music after. I am a lifelong die hard fan of RUSH and when they retired I was left with a huge musical void I thought would never be filled again. However, recently I discovered a band that is without a doubt the best to come along in decades and even though it might not be apparent on the surface, they have a lot in common with RUSH. I will attach a link and hope you might do a reaction to them as I am sure they will blow your mind. Don't let the cover of this book fool you! this is Band Maid-Play ua-cam.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/v-deo.html
"Old School" rocker here. This song is somewhat partly stimulating on a mental level. Other than that I think and feel it is contrived. Seems to me like a huge waste of time and energy Rush poured into this song. But hey they were commercially successful and I know basically nothing compared to them.
"The office door closed early The hidden bottle came out The salesman turned to close the blinds A little slow now, a little stout But he’s still heading down those tracks Any day now for sure Another day as drab as today Is more than a man can endure Dreams flow across the heartland Feeding on the fires Dreams transport desires Drive you when you’re down - Dreams transport the ones Who need to get out of town The boy walks with his best friend Through the fields of early May They walk awhile in silence One close - one far away But he’d be climbing on that bus Just him and his guitar To blaze across the heavens Like a brilliant shooting star The middle-aged madonna Calls her neighbour on the phone Day by day the seasons pass And leave her life alone But she’ll go walking out that door On some bright afternoon To go and paint big cities From a lonely attic room It’s understood By every single person Who’d be elsewhere if they could So far so good And life’s not unpleasant In their little neighbourhood They dream in Middletown…"
When i purchased 'Power Windows' back in the day, it was with a certain trepidation. I say this because, (and i know a lot of fans will disagree), their previous album had left me somewhat underwhelmed, with, imo its tendency to err too heavily towards keyboard textures! So when it was released, i was hoping there would be a return to a guitar driven sound at the expense of the former albms over reliance of synth motifs. I couldn't have been more wrong in my longings for a more typical Rush, rock guitar approach, but here's where it gets interesting! 'Power Windows had actually doubled up in its big keyboard approach, at times sounding like they were at battle with the machines they were using, and i was completely bowled over! My belief is that in the space of a mere two albums, they had mastered the meshing of both styles, and in the process written some of their most emotional material! I don't have a favourite song, as the whole album blends so seamlessly into one remarkable piece of art. I believe i had learned my lesson to never doubt Rush, as they are always one step ahead of the game! After 'Permanent Waves' and 'Hemispheres', it is my third favourite Rush album. Something i thought was impossible in my eyes back in '84! The Kings are dead, long live The Kings!! 👑
Watching quite a few Rush 'Reaction' videos and my take so far is that you're the first one I've come across where it's actually about the Song being reacted to and not about the people doing the reaction. Thanks.
Dreams transport desires...drive you when you're down. Dreams transport the ones who need to get out of town. I have felt this way many times before. I hate the idea of being shackled to a job but instead desire to just be FREE. I LOVE RUSH
Very nice comments and reactions, I've listened to this so many times on replay on road trips, just a great tune to help you get away from everything for a bit. Try listening to anything from the Permanent Waves album, Jacob's Ladder is a good choice, thanks for sharing 👍
Everyone can probably relate to that feeling when you feel you just need to get away from it all. I like how towards the Neil states that “ life’s not so unpleasant in their little neighborhood”. When we stop and think about it , generally speaking, it really isn’t as bad as we perceive it to be.
For Preston, give Scars a shot and try to understand how Neil plays all those percussion sounds with no overdubs. That lesser-known songs is one of the reasons he is considered a drumming pioneer/god.
Greetings to you from Toronto. It's a shot in the arm hearing what you got from this particular Rush track. I saw the Power Windows tour at The Gardens in 86. I picked up other imagery from Mr. Lifeson's guitar prowess which coincided with the Challenger tragedy the same year.
Je dois avouer que ce n’est pas une chanson apte aux réactions, donc doublement apprécié. Encore une fois, merci. Vous avez manifesté une connaissance accrue de la musique! Pouvez-vous me le dire? Independement, merci.
Yh this is an awesome song to play on my PRS or Kramer. Love experimenting with the pitch harmonics, tremolo bar and in general noodling 😂. Also Lerxst is known in the 80s for reverb and chorus. Good suggestion would be Earthshine (Remastered) it’s about 17 years after this release, but it’s got a great guitar tone.
There are two songs that are my favorite from this album: this one and Territories. Middletown Dreams is such an underappreciated and understated song. One of my favorite highlights from their Clockwork Angels tour was that they played both. It was one of my favorite parts of that concert.
How Alex knows where the hell he is in any given tune is just amazing . . . . but this tune especially live has to be insanely difficult to get right live
If youre going to branch off from Power windows try out Turn the page off of Hold your fire. Distant early warning and Between the wheels from Grace under pressure would also be good ones.
Great pick to react to! I know for copyright reasons you have to pause but this song has like 11 beat changes so pausing it anywhere is going to be a bad place to pause. This album came out in the mid 80's when the switch to digital recording and CD's were still in a format war. The vinyl version of this album is sonically awesome, especially Mystic Rhythms, but this whole album rocks!
Come over to the world of Signals and if I could, could I make the first request "Countdown" no one has done a reaction so far. Rush was invited by NASA to the first launch of the shuttle and wrote a song about it. (Don't miss "the weapon" part two of "fear".)
This is not hard rock or prog metal Rush. What it lacks in musical audacity it makes up on thematic depth. I see this song as the sequel to "Subdivisions".
Would like 2 c reactions of Joe Satriani ;Shine on American dreamer,flying in a blue dream.Maybe some Tool;The Pot.Don't know if ur familiar with Joe or Tool.Thank you while i hit subscribe.😎
There is a line in that song which said " it's understood that every single person would be elsewhere if they could" which is so very true.
What a true genius Neil was, what a tragic loss.
But, life's not unpleasant in their little neighborhood..
Quite possibly my favorite Rush song of all time right after between the wheels
I'm this song and Red Barchetta.
@@frankbarnwell____ the reality is it’s really hard to pick a “ favorite “ . With Rush it’s usually the one I’m listening at the moment haha
@@k-popplayinklown5473 totally agree
And Between the Wheels. Lessons, is special to me, as well.
God such a good taste…feeling the same bro, those 2 songs are my favorites
I love this song!! I experienced the 80’s and this song went right along with my life, back then. God bless Rush!
42 year old Rush fan here, been a huge fan all my life. "Power Windows" is one of my favorite albums. The sound and lyrics of this song is just amazing. Loving the kick-bass sound from Neil Pearts drums. And the syntheziser melody in the middle part i cant even describe with words.

Fun Fact Natural Science is Alex's favorite song to play live. Incredible piece

If you go to Presto, listen to Available Light, a much underappreciated song.
Totally agree regarding Available Light Sir
Yes. Available is a huge masterpiece, sadly underrated.
awful production sound quality on Presto, thin, hallow, sterile sounding.......not good. Why did they not c/w the high quality sound production in PW? p/g was a better record but again the production sucked.....Neil drums were attenuated, dead sounding, synth over blaring, highs screechy & thins, even the vocals has sibilance, hard to listen too on a good system
@@fendergibs I largely agree with you but this tinny sound didn't happen by accident ..they don't do shit like that by accident imho
No no no!!! Available light is an incredible song!!!! I want to look at life in the available light!!!
The word say it all… Dreams, transform desires, and drive you when you’re down. Dreams transport the ones who need to get out of town.
That Power Windows album is freakin' awsome. From start to finish. Never get tired listening to it.
Pinnacle album. From arrangement to artwork to lyrics. It’s shines bright.
Hold your fire was a fitting follow up album. Both are masterpieces.
The production on this album has that BIG '80's majestic sound to it. It really comes through on The Big Money, Middletown Dreams and Territories. Love it!!
A tremendous song. My favorite from Power Windows. Mission from Hold Your Fire should be on your list. Beautiful song!
Makes me cry every time. Thanks rush
Welcome to the Rush family , we all have that feeling as you do when we first hear Rush and still do
🤘❤️🤘
My favourite RUSH CD. Possibly my favourite song. Ive been listening to this CD since it came out. Its 2020 and have only just realised this could lyrically be Subdivisions Pt2. Thats the beauty of RUSH. AMAZING band AMAZING CD. How do you conceive this type of song writing is beyond me. CHEERS!!

So, I can’t see what you mean with the Subdivisions Part 2 comment.
Jump to Mission on Hold your Fire and Time Stand Still their is a awesome song awesome reaction stay safe
"Mission" helped me through life, and still does. It was probably the reason I broke down into full blown tears when I heard Neil passed away :(
Thank you Derrick. Mission is on my to do list. Most Definitely!
I Know Brother ... Go ahead and cry ... Irony of this song and the execution in Brutal ... as Ive gotten older only come to love it more
This song is one of my very favorites and yes, I tear up when I hear this song. I miss Neil.
This album got me through High School. Fell asleep to it countless times.

Gerald excellent point
"The office door closed early
The hidden bottle came out
The salesman turned to close the blinds
A little slow now, a little stout
But he’s still heading down those tracks
Any day now for sure
Another day as drab as today
Is more than a man can endure
Dreams flow across the heartland
Feeding on the fires
Dreams transport desires
Drive you when you’re down -
Dreams transport the ones
Who need to get out of town
The boy walks with his best friend
Through the fields of early May
They walk awhile in silence
One close - one far away
But he’d be climbing on that bus
Just him and his guitar
To blaze across the heavens
Like a brilliant shooting star
The middle-aged madonna
Calls her neighbour on the phone
Day by day the seasons pass
And leave her life alone
But she’ll go walking out that door
On some bright afternoon
To go and paint big cities
From a lonely attic room
It’s understood
By every single person
Who’d be elsewhere if they could
So far so good
And life’s not unpleasant
In their little neighbourhood
They dream in Middletown…"

Kick ass band!! Miss these fellows from up North.
My favorite song from this album. Territories and Mystic Rhythms are good as well.
Neil Peart's bass drums on this tune though . . . . .
Soooo pillowy punch but so deep and powerful
It really does brother . . .
Something about the way the music is arranged it had a dreamlike kind of vibe
For Preston, give Scars a shot and try to understand how Neil plays all those percussion sounds with no overdubs. That lesser-known songs is one of the reasons he is considered a drumming pioneer/god.
Sorry...Presto. My son's name is Preston so force of habit:)
My fav rush song. Glad you seem to love it!!
you talked through the best lyric!!! ahhhh
Greetings to you from Toronto. It's a shot in the arm hearing what you got from this particular Rush track. I saw the Power Windows tour at The Gardens in 86. I picked up other imagery from Mr. Lifeson's guitar prowess which coincided with the Challenger tragedy the same year.
Fantastic song Alex 🎸 brings the mood and the soul every time!!! 3 Geniuses!!!
My favourite Rush album for so many reasons! All of the tracks are outstanding! Checkout the track “Territories” 😎
Je dois avouer que ce n’est pas une chanson apte aux réactions, donc doublement apprécié. Encore une fois, merci. Vous avez manifesté une connaissance accrue de la musique! Pouvez-vous me le dire? Independement, merci.
RUSH..ES LO MAXIMO....YO A VECES LLORO CUANDO LOS ESCUCHO
Yh this is an awesome song to play on my PRS or Kramer. Love experimenting with the pitch harmonics, tremolo bar and in general noodling 😂. Also Lerxst is known in the 80s for reverb and chorus. Good suggestion would be Earthshine (Remastered) it’s about 17 years after this release, but it’s got a great guitar tone.
There are two songs that are my favorite from this album: this one and Territories. Middletown Dreams is such an underappreciated and understated song. One of my favorite highlights from their Clockwork Angels tour was that they played both. It was one of my favorite parts of that concert.
I own every rush album...seen them live 4 times...I know every song...and this is my favorite.
This song is very close to me. Musically/lyrically ❤️
I so love Alex’s guitar tone in this era of Rush. Keyboards made him a better guitarist.
Great reaction and you are good at doing this... :)
Drew Davis thank you so much. I know speaking English is not always easy for me but hopefully I will get better for everyone’s sake. Lol
To go paint big cities from a lonely attic room! ❤️❤️❤️
Best song - from the best album - I guess that makes it the best Rush song!
I agree
Good reaction, great detail, same with on Big Money.
I’ve always wondered, is it an unspoken sequel to Subdivisions? About someone who never left?
"Geddy Lees voice is a little lower"
Geddy lee: *hits a huge C5 in the pre chorus*
Welcome to my favorite Rush song of all time...yup I said it....im actually jealous of ya hearing it for the first time....enjoy....
How Alex knows where the hell he is in any given tune is just amazing . . . . but this tune especially live has to be insanely difficult to get right live
If youre going to branch off from Power windows try out Turn the page off of Hold your fire. Distant early warning and Between the wheels from Grace under pressure would also be good ones.
Great pick to react to! I know for copyright reasons you have to pause but this song has like 11 beat changes so pausing it anywhere is going to be a bad place to pause.

yup this is my favorite song on Power Windows.... Mystic Rhythms is next. But what an experience overall.
your right on his voice on this album it was the begening of loosing his voice.
My fav song, my story, my life
Me too!
Come over to the world of Signals and if I could, could I make the first request "Countdown" no one has done a reaction so far. Rush was invited by NASA to the first launch of the shuttle and wrote a song about it. (Don't miss "the weapon" part two of "fear".)

Ya but Geddy and Alex are high school drop outs and Neil never went to college so how can they be worth anything? LMAOFROTF
This depresses me, not because your reaction wasn't good, but because Neil is gone--and consequently--Rush is gone. Alas.
