Some of my favorite songs from these two albums. I also think Entre Nous and The Weapon are underrated tracks. Even though their shorter songs are great, I’ve also really loved a lot of their deep cuts. Rush (aka my favorite band) 🇨🇦. Even though I’m American lol.
Permanent Waves KILLED it with the production. Everything is so full and clear and bright and punchy. I think it was the peak of their songwriting, moving away from their early prog years, but still very, very inspired.
I can't get into Tool - I know the singles mostly but can you recommend me a way in? xd I tried listening to Undertow because I like Sober but it really left me cold.
@@fuckamericanidiot is like any music. You just have to have the ear for the music. I will say to is a bit like Pink Floyd, the whole album tells a better story
I was fortunate to meet Alex and Geddy on thier Clockwork Angel's Tour, I told Geddy " There would be no hard feelings if they would implement Jacob's Ladder into tonight's set" ( they hadn't played live since the Moving Pictures tour in 81, which I saw them live that year) Needless to say, I hope that I influenced them to do it on thier last tour, which was fantastic hearing live again after so many years. Great reactions and comments to my favorite band and songs Hope everything works out with you channel, 1 of the best ones at there! Keep Posting and Rocking 🤟🤟
Rush songs definitely need to be listened to several times before the method to their madness is understood. With this song you can close your eyes and see the storm coming, then the intensity of the storm followed by the calm after the storm. I love when a song can take you away visually. Take care and safe travels ✌
Rick Haddad Rush’s unique interpretation of a huge storm and the calm afterwards. Another masterpiece by 3 MASTERS of their craft. In my humble (but slightly biased) opinion, the best band ever.
@ Bob Wayman;Almost totally agree. IMPOSSIBLE to pick a favorite Rush song if you’re in the Rush army like me. Agree that JL is way up on the list though. SOOO MANY didn’t care for Caress of Steel, but it’s one of my favorites. I was turned on to Rush by a cousin with 2112 almost Immediately after it hit the market in the late ‘70’s. I was hooked like a fish! I consider myself very fortunate to have seen them 17 times. I’ve told the story too many times, So I basically stopped telling it, but I can point myself out in the audience (festival seating, so I was front row on the floor baby) on the cover of Exit Stage Left. I could listen to Rush forever but I get so sentimental AND hyped at the same time listening to Entre Nous…it’s personal for me. I still get goosebumps when Part III:Discovery starts on 2112. Aleksandar Živojinović aka Lerxst, is the only guitarist in the world that can take a simulated guitar tuning and turn it into a fucking masterpiece. Far too many to list, but I’ve always loved the original version of By-Tor & the Snow Dog, side one of Hemispheres, Natural Science (OBVIOUS), The Pass & the title track from RTB… “You better run home boy, a fact’s a fact from Nome to Rome boy”…I LOVE the rap stuff in that song. Always loved Anagram (for Mongo), Where’s my thing & Leave That Thing Alone…but the best EVER…is Alex’s part of the acceptance speech when Rush were inducted into the R&R HOF!! Blah blah, blah blah….funniest shit ever!!
This was my first favourite song of theirs, as I'm a bit of a weather geek and, to me, this is the best musical depiction of a slowly-encroaching and utter relentlessness passing storm that there is. A drumming masterclass on how to build atmosphere, always evolving with very few bars (if any) repeating. Although I've been listening to this for over 30 years, I still can't quite get Neil's base drum pattern (coming out of the eye of the storm) right. Always throw this on when storms are in the vicinity. Never tire of it.
@Will: I recently watched a video in which Alex said Nat. Sci. Was his favorite song and he loved to play it. Umm... I admired his good taste lol ;-) I never forget the 1st time I heard that song...and I kept playing it over n over...:-)
@@USAMehdi I just think it is the quintessential Rush song that adds all the flavours and elalnents into one masterpiece. Permanent Waves is my favourite Rush album and is often gets over looked to Moving Pictures. To me they could have been a volume 1 and volume 2.
I suffered from TMJ for many years. In the end it came down to managing my stress and it seemed to correct it self. I appreciate your attention to this problem. I could have used some massage techniques as i struggled with this. This song always take me me back to my youth, listening to this song with my brother while the rain and clouds seem to move in concert with the song (sunbeams and all). It was such a powerful memory as we both experienced it. Thanks for taking me back to that day. :-)
Rush is just so good, from the very beginning all the way until the end. I would love to watch you two react to the last song on Rush's last album, "The Garden". It is such a perfect end to a perfect career.
This is one of their songs that hasn't been on my radar for a very long time and I'd forgotten how good it is. Can't wait to crank it up in the car tomorrow.
Rush relates to a wider audience because even though they are progressive, their roots are classic rock based. It's also more digestible because it's well structured and not fatiguing to listen to like a lot of progressive music that seem to forget the underlying primal hook, theme and grove required for the sake of simply over playing with "look what we can do" tactics with disruptive (and not helpful to the structure at all) time and key changes. I like lots of prog metal and classic prog rock, but there are many more acts with great musicians who simply can't write a song to save their lives, versus ones who can. Rush regardless of their genre, first and foremost were great song writers.
From 8:35 to the end (particularly from the fully developed rhythm at 9:15 ) is some of the best stuff that Rush ever did. This groove is theirs alone I think. It also pops up in LaVillaStrangiato, this rhythm, right after the long guitar solo. One has to go to Steely Dan to find such an excellent groovy sound. And the way they do it here (and on Hemispheres) in that messed-up time signature is like magic.
First, Thank you two for reacting to one of my all time favorite Rush songs. And most importantly you two are so entirely welcome!! I’m so thrilled you like it. If you hear 2112 in the middle of the night, it’s coming from the blanket!
Mr. Larry! We are now on alert for 2112 in the middle of the night. Either way, we rest easy no matter what because you are in the world. Much love our list special and terrific friend. Kel-n-Rich
Great song to react to. With RUSH to really appreciate their music and talents try reacting to their live versions more often. Watching them do this song live is priceless.
An underrated Rush song. I heard the Exit Stage Left version before this, and while I was first discovering the band it was one of my favourite Rush songs. I'd not heard it for some time. Great to hear it again. Probably my favourite song on PW.
Fantastic reaction as always. Try being a 14 year old kid who has never heard the band and finds out at 5 he's he's been invited to see a general admission show starting at 8... He begs his mom to go to his first concert. And she says yes. Permanent waves Tour and the first time I heard them was live in the Springfield MA Civic center... Of course I've been a huge fan ever since. Keep up the great work. And welcome back.
This era of Rush is when i started listening so I also have a soft spot for this album. What makes Rush so special is that their music is complicated with thoughtful lyrics and many odd time signatures but it is composed so well that it is approachable for the average person. People don't realize they are bopping along to an odd time signature, I sure didn't, I was just enjoying myself.
I enjoy getting your new perspective on Music that I have grown up with. RUSH is my favorite Band Ever. Y'all keep up the Good work. KING'S X would be great. Also if I may recommend FATES WARNING. Maybe THE ROAD GOES ON FOREVER. On a personal note I am very sorry for your loss. I grew up a Musician in a Family of Musicians and I have had an Uncle of mine that I have cared for that has epilepsy. He has lived with me for over 15 years and it still breaks My Heart to see him go through a seizure. Again, y'all keep up the Good work and stay safe...
Paul from liverpool england... Yes the friggin beatles land lol. Keep doing what you do as you are both beautiful people in your hearts. Long may you continue. You can work it out, you can work it ou, out. xx
Neil is such a great wordsmith...I've loved this album since it came out on vinyl but that was the first time I followed the words..The Outro is so profound! I wonder if she's listened to Fountain of Lamneth yet...
I like the echo starting at about 8:02 ...unbroken beamsssssssssss.... I used to play this whole song on my toy casio keyboards. 1 late night back in 80s I was delivering pizza to black neighborhood. 2 old men were on corner talking as I passed by them they heard my stereo n started to dance to the guitar part they waved cheered n smiled. That scene has stuck in back of my mind. They really enjoyed it.
Talk about overwhelming .... that is NATURAL SCIENCE .... also from PW. But it is my favorite RUSH song. But I also played drums for 40 years so it is indulgent to say the least. Back in the 80’s my drum instructor asked me to bring in an album for us to play to. It was PW. Half way through NATURAL SCIENCE his jaw dropped & he just put his hands in a surrendering position.
Congratulations on the book!! I will be one of many that will be purchasing the book when it hits the stands. My husband is permanently disabled from many illnesses, and this is one of them. TMJ is a PITA, or more like PITJ!!! He has been to many many doctors to no avail, and was also referred to an oral and maxillofacial specialist, an otolaryngologist (also called an ear, nose, and throat doctor or ENT specialist), and a dentist specializing in jaw disorders (prosthodontist, also called a prosthetic dentist) for further treatment. The dentist was the last resort when he wanted to TRY to relieve his symptoms for close to $50,000. Crazy!! Well, needless to say, that was the end of that, so he just suffers. BTW, great Rush song, and great reaction! Kel, I love your barrette. Wherever you got it, you didn't happen to see a Dio one, did you? I think I'm going to start wearing chokers again....they look so cool on you. I use to wear them all the time when I was younger, but I guess you're never to old, like they say. Take care you two!
HI!!!!!! Thank you so much for the message. I am so sorry to hear that your husband suffers with TMJ issues. Would you like me to help you with that? The book is not ready to be printed yet so why wait. If you would like to talk about it, I am happy to speak with you. I am using FB Messenger video chats or iPhone FaceTime to treat people across the world and I would be honoured to help him if you like. Please email me 😊
I think Rich is on to something here. This is definitely a top candidate for their best LP. "Permanent Waves" is often overshadowed by "Moving Pictures", but it is the major evolutionary (nay, revolutionary!) step in their development. You cannot get to "Moving Pictures" without going through this. What's even more important, is that "Spirit Of Radio" is an unabashedly joyful piece of music. It not only captured what Rush was, within a short running time, but it said "Hey, we're here to have fun too!". "Permanent Waves" was the album that hooked me, and I think it did the same for a lot of other fans.
Bonjour à vous deux. Greetings from Montréal! «Permanent wave» is one of the 8 albums Rush recorded in the northen wood's of the Laurentians in Québec, Canada (Morin Heights): the recording facilities were called Le Studio. I suggest you search for this recording location where so many great albums were made for bands/singers such as April Wine, Nazareth, David Bowie, Cat Stevens, etc... But it was Rush's home. Sad thing what happened to it.
and the instrumental section: every instrument plays different shit in a different rhythm and it sounds GREAT. And the damn rhythm is TRUE prog! One of my rush favourites !
When I was young songs like this and natural science just for two examples was my escape. Lights off, black light on, stretch back in the bed with the headphones on and my funny cigarette lol and I went on a trip. Rush has a way of making progressive and complex music while meshing everything together just right where it just sounds straight forward and not jumbled all over the place. The ability to do this really shows how great their song writing and musicianship is. Rush will always be the high priest of progressive metal.
What I find funny is that when I was 14, Rush played at our high school dance. They sucked! I refused to listen to them for the longest time. But then I heard them on the radio many years later and they had gotten good.
Those last lyrics. Follow -------_---- as they --- Reminds me of a Greek tragedy. It could have been written 2000 years ago. Not in the mood for it all the time. Love it though since 4ever
Excellent choice! The following is what happened last 30 years (in short, of course): My best friend Paul introduced me to Rush, and this became my favourite song. By coincidence, Paul was an amateur meteorologist, and teached/bored our friends group about weather/clouds, etc. He knew all about it! Some 6 years ago Paul suffered from long cancer and other complications. He died after a lot of suffering ( only 54 years old). I speached at his funeral, and somehow, (knowing his parents-in-law were/are very Christian), I could combine the song/rare video/biblical text. Not to praise myself, but the church liked my speech.. To you! Paul
So...This is the 'cool-down' track, after the epic "Freewill" (worth doing that lyric video) on a pure beast of an album "Permanent waves". It starts with "The Spirit Of Radio" and works it's way to the masterful finale "Natural Science". Do it all...drink it all in. Oh...BTW, can I just mention "Entre Nous" and "Different Strings"...beautiful. It's clearly my favourite album.
this is for you, Rich....theres a live version of digital man at Rush Digital Man 720p....its live, amazing and even a Rush fan such as yourself who has heard it all will be glad you watched...enjoy and keep up the great channel and intrigue you provide for all of us!
Every Rush album I hear makes me say "this is one of their best albums" for a variety of reasons. And every time, I'm correct. And who the hell writes lyrics like "the shifting shafts of shining weave the fabric of their dreams"? Neil. That's who.
Excellent Rush song, with incredible musical climates, thank you very much for this reaction, and Richard I envy you !! I dream of having a woman who listens to Rush with me !! haha, regards 😃
I always loved this one. I'm more familiar with the Exit Stage Left version, but honestly it's really consistent. Didn't really notice much difference at all. Maybe a lick or two was different from Alex, but still very much the same. Alex was a very underappreciated guitarist imo.🤘👍
Hi Pamela, I am so sorry to hear that you suffer with TMJ issues. Would you like me to help you with that? The book is not ready to be printed yet so why wait. If you would like to talk about it, I am happy to speak with you. I am using FB Messenger video chats or iPhone FaceTime to treat people across the world and I would be honoured to help you if you like. Please email me 😊 kelligafter@gmail.com. Hugs, Kel 😊
DH. Really...I mean who can write lyrics like this? This is 1 of the reasons I stayed with rush for all these years. The music is great but I also feel good about reading or memorizing all the words too. I read some to some unlikely coworkers and they were amazed...
@TheBlackiwid Thanks for the comment. Most of Rush songs feel perdonal ss if i wrote them. And to tell you the truth I was learning English as 2nd language (to me thd best tool is songs). so I liked the big n nice words. I didn't care much for song with incomprehensible lyrics or about beer or girlfriend break up or cuss words. So when I heard things like: Whole wide world an endless universe Yet we keep looking thru the eyeglass in reverse. .. Or One likes to believe in the freedom of music But glittering prizes n endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity. ..yeah. ..:-) I thought this guy got a hold of Rumi's books or something... So I think I get more of my money's worth with Rush. But I do love others like Pink Floyd etc... I think the Rush song "Everyday Glory" is 1 of their best ever. Always brings tears to my eyes. I feel like I wrote it...
Pretty sure the song is not about a dark and gloomy sky... Jacob’s Ladder is usually a reference to the Bible where Jacob had a dream where angels were ascending and descending a ladder between Heaven and Earth. I think Jacob’s interpretation was that before he was afraid, but now sees that the land and lives are blessed. The paintings I remember seeing showed the ladder piercing through the dark clouds (of fear), and beholding the light (blessings) coming through around the ladder.

An underrated Rush gem. This one, Natural Science, The Camera Eye, and Witch Hunt are monster tracks. Thanks!!
Chris Legner The Camera Eye awakened me to the group.
Geddy: I only play bass, taurus pedals, and keyboards on Witch Hunt. Oh, I sing also.
Some of my favorite songs from these two albums. I also think Entre Nous and The Weapon are underrated tracks. Even though their shorter songs are great, I’ve also really loved a lot of their deep cuts. Rush (aka my favorite band) 🇨🇦. Even though I’m American lol.
@@nickavenoso7851 Those are excellent. A wealth of underrated material in Rush's deeper catalogue.
Natural science. Top 5 at least
Permanent Waves KILLED it with the production. Everything is so full and clear and bright and punchy. I think it was the peak of their songwriting, moving away from their early prog years, but still very, very inspired.
Watching them play that live on R40 was priceless-
an eargasm for sure
Indeed it was an experience.
Yep. Great Tour, unfortunately I never seen them live,I watched a lot of their tours on dvd and UA-cam and it was incredible
Epic, with Xanadu & Hemispheres..., Epic!
The second instrumental break is phenomenal. Bass, keys, drums, and guitar using different time signatures to get to the same ending point. Way cool.
One of my favourite Rush songs off Permanent Waves.
RUSH is just in another class.
Loving tool right know. BUt these guys are the goats of their craft
I can't get into Tool - I know the singles mostly but can you recommend me a way in? xd I tried listening to Undertow because I like Sober but it really left me cold.

This was my very first Rush album. I bought it in 1980 when I was 15. I've been in the rabbit hole ever since.
Rush was such a great band to see live! Awesome music and a Great light show. i Saw them 3 times..
What an absolute masterpiece from ☝️ of my favourite bands amazing rhythm 🥁
I am literally in tears watching this!! I absolutely adore RUSH!! This tune live on R40 is just.....🧨🧨🎸🎸🇨🇦 🇨🇦
You guys ROCK...🕺🕺💃💃🥰🥰
Best to Kel and book…thanks for all your reactions…especially RUSH ! God Bless!
I love her honesty! At first she didn't get it. Then I seen the moment she did and I celebrated!!! You got a good woman there man! God bless you both!
For me permanent waves and moving pictures are the 2 best albums from rush
Mike Cates I always go back one more, and throw Hemispheres in there for my Rush Trio of Perfection. They were on fire.
Signals is a highly underrated album for me :)
All the girls smile when Alex starts to wail🤘🖖✌️🎸🎸🎸

Mr. Larry! We are now on alert for 2112 in the middle of the night. Either way, we rest easy no matter what because you are in the world. Much love our list special and terrific friend.
Kel-n-Rich
Have a listen to side 1 of Hemispheres!
With a Rush song you're always waiting for the something to happen, when all the while it is.
10 seconds in, looking forward to see someone blown away by their first listen to one of Rush's best songs. #greatwhite house of broken love please!!!
and why are we not seeing a reaction to By-Tor & the Snow Dog or Beneath Between and Behind? :-)
It is nice to see a couple such as yourselves being true loving mates. Bless you both.
Neil's drumming is so good here
A masterpiece. Thanks for playing it.
Great song to react to. With RUSH to really appreciate their music and talents try reacting to their live versions more often. Watching them do this song live is priceless.
Welcome Back! You guys are awesome!
The most hypnotic Rush song.
This was so awesome on their last tour.
Just love that guitar sound on the first lead, the best guitar sound... ever
An underrated Rush song. I heard the Exit Stage Left version before this, and while I was first discovering the band it was one of my favourite Rush songs. I'd not heard it for some time. Great to hear it again. Probably my favourite song on PW.
Watch them play this live on their last tour, R40 in 2015. 3 guys in their early 60"s absolutely smashing it
Fantastic reaction as always. Try being a 14 year old kid who has never heard the band and finds out at 5 he's he's been invited to see a general admission show starting at 8...

I can't drive when there is a storm brewing and not think of or listen to this song. Glad you gave it a listen.
Wheels within wheels in a spiral display, their patterns so grand and complex. Gotta love RUSH.
RUSH is amazing . To me this song is a master piece. It is so emotionally powerful!!
If ever I wanted to introduce somebody to listening to Rush for the first time, this was always the song I recommended.
I enjoy getting your new perspective on Music that I have grown up with. RUSH is my favorite Band Ever. Y'all keep up the Good work. KING'S X would be great. Also if I may recommend FATES WARNING.

One of my favorite rock bands These guys are supremely talented Put them right next to The Who as the greatest of them all. My opinion.
Paul from liverpool england... Yes the friggin beatles land lol. Keep doing what you do as you are both beautiful people in your hearts. Long may you continue. You can work it out, you can work it ou, out. xx
It was an epic performance on their last show!
Neil is such a great wordsmith...I've loved this album since it came out on vinyl but that was the first time I followed the words..The Outro is so profound! I wonder if she's listened to Fountain of Lamneth yet...

So glad to hear you're going to do some Kings X! Vastly underrated band.
Remember when SNL did NPR Delicious Dish? Jacob's Ladder. Great song. Unique beyond acknowledgment.
This sounds like it could be on Hemispheres. The tone and riffs are impeccable!

"Permanent Waves" is often overshadowed by "Moving Pictures", but it is the major evolutionary (nay, revolutionary!) step in their development. You cannot get to "Moving Pictures" without going through this. What's even more important, is that "Spirit Of Radio" is an unabashedly joyful piece of music. It not only captured what Rush was, within a short running time, but it said "Hey, we're here to have fun too!". "Permanent Waves" was the album that hooked me, and I think it did the same for a lot of other fans.
A masterpiece from Rush. Permanent waves is such a good album
Playing the guitar parts r so cool to play along with WOW
Bonjour à vous deux. Greetings from Montréal! «Permanent wave» is one of the 8 albums Rush recorded in the northen wood's of the Laurentians in Québec, Canada (Morin Heights): the recording facilities were called Le Studio. I suggest you search for this recording location where so many great albums were made for bands/singers such as April Wine, Nazareth, David Bowie, Cat Stevens, etc... But it was Rush's home. Sad thing what happened to it.
and the instrumental section: every instrument plays different shit in a different rhythm and it sounds GREAT. And the damn rhythm is TRUE prog! One of my rush favourites !
If more people, from many backgrounds, listened to RUSH how much better would this world be?
Such a great song that flies below the radar, even with the band members. Geddy Lee seems perplexed by the popularity of this one...
Love this song. AWESOMENESS
The course of History-the embodiment of Jacob's Ladder.
HELL YEAHHH ..ANOTHER RUSH MASTERPIECE !!!!..GETTING BACK TO THE ROOTS ....
When I was young songs like this and natural science just for two examples was my escape. Lights off, black light on, stretch back in the bed with the headphones on and my funny cigarette lol and I went on a trip. Rush has a way of making progressive and complex music while meshing everything together just right where it just sounds straight forward and not jumbled all over the place. The ability to do this really shows how great their song writing and musicianship is. Rush will always be the high priest of progressive metal.
Permanent Waves has always been my favorite album
What I find funny is that when I was 14, Rush played at our high school dance. They sucked! I refused to listen to them for the longest time. But then I heard them on the radio many years later and they had gotten good.
Those last lyrics. Follow -------_---- as they --- Reminds me of a Greek tragedy. It could have been written 2000 years ago. Not in the mood for it all the time. Love it though since 4ever
The Garden with lyrics RUSH a must listen
The perfect final song in a stellar career
If you’re a long time Rush fan and listen to The Garden and don’t cry, you’re not human.
bellissima canzone,
come tutte le altre...
RUSH ON!!!
Excellent choice! The following is what happened last 30 years (in short, of course):
My best friend Paul introduced me to Rush, and this became my favourite song. By coincidence, Paul was an amateur meteorologist, and teached/bored our friends group about weather/clouds, etc. He knew all about it!
Some 6 years ago Paul suffered from long cancer and other complications. He died after a lot of suffering ( only 54 years old). I speached at his funeral, and somehow, (knowing his parents-in-law were/are very Christian), I could combine the song/rare video/biblical text. Not to praise myself, but the church liked my speech..
To you!
Paul
Way to go! What a great story!!!!! Thank you Olaf!
So...This is the 'cool-down' track, after the epic "Freewill" (worth doing that lyric video) on a pure beast of an album "Permanent waves". It starts with "The Spirit Of Radio" and works it's way to the masterful finale "Natural Science". Do it all...drink it all in. Oh...BTW, can I just mention "Entre Nous" and "Different Strings"...beautiful. It's clearly my favourite album.
☆The Greatest Band In The Galaxy ☆RUSH☆ 🤠👍
Alex is such an underated guitarist, he is one of the greats along with his bandmates

Another from my favorite Rush album
Whenever there is a thunderstorm coming through I play this song
Every Rush album I hear makes me say "this is one of their best albums" for a variety of reasons. And every time, I'm correct. And who the hell writes lyrics like "the shifting shafts of shining weave the fabric of their dreams"? Neil. That's who.
Jason Williams. “…the river…!!! Best band in the galaxy.
Neil Peart's drumming masterpiece
Excellent Rush song, with incredible musical climates, thank you very much for this reaction, and Richard I envy you !! I dream of having a woman who listens to Rush with me !! haha, regards 😃
I always loved this one. I'm more familiar with the Exit Stage Left version, but honestly it's really consistent. Didn't really notice much difference at all. Maybe a lick or two was different from Alex, but still very much the same. Alex was a very underappreciated guitarist imo.🤘👍
One of there best songs
.....from there best album.....alsome!!!
Can't wait for the book, I have TMJ, and the mouth guard doesn't help. Happy you guys are back!

@@kelligafter502 I would like that soon, need to buy an external mic, the laptop one died.
Kel and rich, you guys are fucking hilarious and .too cute sometimes, love and RESPECT! Peace.
Such an epic song.
It's great for Kel that Natural Science is still to come.
Who else can write a song about a dark and gloomy sky?
DH. Really...I mean who can write lyrics like this? This is 1 of the reasons I stayed with rush for all these years.
The music is great but I also feel good about reading or memorizing all the words too.
I read some to some unlikely coworkers and they were amazed...
@TheBlackiwid Thanks for the comment. Most of Rush songs feel perdonal ss if i wrote them.
And to tell you the truth I was learning English as 2nd language (to me thd best tool is songs). so I liked the big n nice words. I didn't care much for song with incomprehensible lyrics or about beer or girlfriend break up or cuss words. So when I heard things like:
Whole wide world an endless universe
Yet we keep looking thru the eyeglass in reverse. ..
Or
One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes n endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity. ..yeah. ..:-)
I thought this guy got a hold of Rumi's books or something...
So I think I get more of my money's worth with Rush. But I do love others like Pink Floyd etc...
I think the Rush song "Everyday Glory" is 1 of their best ever. Always brings tears to my eyes. I feel like I wrote it...
Pretty sure the song is not about a dark and gloomy sky... Jacob’s Ladder is usually a reference to the Bible where Jacob had a dream where angels were ascending and descending a ladder between Heaven and Earth. I think Jacob’s interpretation was that before he was afraid, but now sees that the land and lives are blessed. The paintings I remember seeing showed the ladder piercing through the dark clouds (of fear), and beholding the light (blessings) coming through around the ladder.
Every Rush song is a journey.
Jacobs Ladder is a journey
Rush RUSH and more RUSH
Was never one of my favorite Rush tunes, but a couple edibles later, it's a f#@ing masterpiece lol :-)
