Rocinante was Don Quixote’s horse. That’s where both Neil and The Expanse takes the name from. He was a tired old work horse that Quixote saw as his trusty warhorse. Niel’s use of the name is clever and makes us wonder if this journey into a black hole is a fool’s errand. Have to wait until part 2 to find out!

@SaeedReacts. 2 месяца назад

Thanks letting me know! Looking forward to part 2.

@markstromberg1148 2 месяца назад

I've always wondered if the final stanza is Neil Peart's settling of the question of whether or not the black hole is a portal or a "final" destination for the traveler. Regardless, the musical descent past the Event Horizon into the violent, swirling chaos of the vortex of gravity, followed by the echoing guitar depicting the deceptive, empty "peace" of space after the Rocinante is devoured by the black hole, is one of the most brilliant and evocative bits of songwriting EVER! Masterpiece!

@darronhuggins4788 2 месяца назад

No one knows what happens if u actually entered a black hole but u have to remember this was the first black hole ever discovered by telescope. NEIL with his giant brain could compose a song and describe what it would be like to travel through a black hole, is music greatness. This is one reason RUSH IS ABSOLUTELY THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME. They make songs that we are going through today. Like fascism, FREE WILL, 2112 AND OTHERS. SO DON'T VOTE FOR THE "R" AND TRUMP you will regret it if u do the past has shown. PEASE

@Fred-vy1hm 2 месяца назад

Neil wrote Cygnus XI about a year after it was officially confirmed as being the first black hole discovered. Book II Hemispheres is about twice as long and complicated as this one and is perhaps the most technically difficult piece of music they ever performed, it's like 2112 on steroids. 😊

This song is from the album "A farewell to kings" released in 1977. Us old time Rush fans had to wait more than a year for Hemispheres to be released before we got to hear Cygnus X-1 book 2. It was a very long wait but worth it. Book 2 is one of my favorite Rush songs. By the way excellent reaction!!! Thanks.

Yeah, they did it as much justice as they could with the circumstances of that last tour. Lyrics were dropped entirely, they shortened not only the entire piece, to allow for the drum solo, but a lot of what they played was truncated too, with fewer repetitive sequences instrumentally then the original version. I was just happy to be there and experience it regardless of how they had to pull it off.🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎤🎹🥇🇨🇦🎼

Neil was a prolific reader, so I'm guessing he read about the Rocinante before writing the lyrics for Cygnus.

Favorite Rush song!! The music is very thematic and perfectly captures the imaginary experience of getting sucked into a black hole. The listener can almost feel the protagonist lose control of his ship when the song kicks in after that small breakdown section. What happens to our hero in the black hole? Cygnus X-1 Book II Hemispheres next!!! Rush is from Canada, so they have to rock twice as hard... just to stay warm.

@markb.2112 2 месяца назад

This was my first Rush concert back in 77. Prior to that, I had seen Kiss, Aerosmith and Nugent. After this concert, I was spoiled. No one plays like Rush in concert. I was about third row in a quarter arena in SD. Rush laid out the white shag carpet and proceeded to blow everyone away! I did see them another 10 times. To this date, never saw a concert so memorable (except the other Rush concerts of course). Part two is probably the most technical thing Rush ever did. To see it live in front of you is just unbelievable. They play exactly in concert as the studio album, except little tasteful surprises here and there. Nice reaction too Saeed, keep it up please!

You really must listen to the second half which is “Book 2”. This was the last song on the album “A Farewell To Kings” and we had to wait until the next album “Hemispheres” to get the second half. Book 2 is the first song on the next album………Hemispheres. You can’t go wrong with RUSH.

Gotta share the discovery of this track myself with you. My friend and I were starting to discover Rush in the early to mid eighties and worked our way backwards into their catalogue. One day we listened to this one and were quite high on the weed of the day, and laughed our asses off re-listening to that intro and surmised that Geddy was in a Spinal Tap situation where he was llost and trying to get to the stage, so his signal was weak at first and was getting louder as he was running to the stage.😂crazy kids right? True story tho 👌🍻👍

All of side two from their next album Hemispheres (of which I own an original release copy of both Hemispheres and A Farewell to kings on vinyl) and both sound just as great now , as they did the day they were pressed 40+ years ago.

Been tuning out today and I really think you’d enjoy Hold Your Fire 🔥 another great RUSH album. Lock and Key as well as Second Nature are my favorites on this album.While I’m here, I want to tell you about another great Canadian trio. Triumph isn’t as prolific but they’re still quite powerful. I suggest the live album; Stages. Fight the Good Fight, Never Surrender and Hold On are some of my favorites. I think they would’ve been more popular if they’d had better studio production 🤷‍♀️ Rick Emmett is definitely one of the greatest guitarists ever in my opinion. Midsummer Daydream is a beautiful instrumental that I’m sure you’ll enjoy listening to!!! I hope you check them out! Enjoy 😉
