I have been listening to Rush for the past 40 years, they are hands-down my all-time favorite rock band, and that’s saying a lot because there were some amazing bands that came out of the 70s and 80s. The thing about Rush is that their music evolved decade to decade. They had a progressive attitude towards their art and it showed in their performances. I would encourage you to listen to the various eras starting from the 70s into the 80s the 90s the 2000s and see how the band evolved with the times, they didn’t get stuck in one particular genre, they were constantly growing and evolving and that’s why they were so amazing! Listen to the album hemispheres, trust me. Then listen to 2112, then a farewell to kings and Fly by night. After that you’ll understand their origins. And by the way the guys in the band are Geddy Lee on keyboards and bass and vocals, Alex Lifeson on six string electric, 12 string electric and acoustic as well as others and of course the professor, Neil Peart the master percussionist and songwriter!

@deanlindholm8663 2 года назад

@Tonyr0206 2 года назад

The song is about an introverted free thinker. "His mind is not for rent to any God or government. His reserve, a quiet defense." He keeps to himself as a defense mechanism. His views are not swayed politically or through religion. He forms his own opinions based on his own experience and his observations. "He's always hopeful, yet discontent. He knows changes aren't permanent, but change is." (self explanatory, but some great lyrics) "The world is, the world is love and life are deep. Maybe as his eyes are wide" Comparing his love for what he cherishes, runs as deep as his eyes are wide open, skeptically taking in his surroundings and everyone in it.

Rush would have a hard time making it today because a lot of kids would not like their lyrics and their message. Neil Peart was a huge fan of Ayn Rand, the mother of objectivism and a radical capitalist and a huge influence on libertarianism.

@heathw4739 4 дня назад

The great thing about Rush's music - Tom Sawyer exemplifies this, btw - you'll get at least two OMG! moments. The first is typically with the music and its tempo. Just exhilarating! The second, usually much later, is when the lyrics are comprehended and brought in unison with music. Total synchronicity! Other bands old/new have these tsunami moments. Rush was one of my first.

@WoodFishN1 2 года назад

What is really amazing about RUSH is they play all their songs live. They are all amazing musicians. You watch some of their concert footage. Geddy Lee will be playing the keyboard with one hand, plucking the bass with the other, and also has his foot going on synthesizer pedals. All the while signing the lead vocals of the song. Pert's drumming is so out of the world, most drummers can't even keep up to some of his songs. Alex Lifeson guitar work is also so technical, it is amazing guitar work.

@victord8175 11 месяцев назад

You are so on point. I listened to them and was "kinda a fan" for a long time, when I became friends with someone who was a huge RUSH fan and he talked me into seeing them in 1992.. when they came on stage I turned to him and asked "where's the rest of them?!" (I thought they had to be a 5 man group, they're so busy!) After seeing them, obviously, my fandom rocketed! :-)

@garylagstrom3864 10 месяцев назад

RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR! With heart felt admiration and sincerity! Gary

@kenmolinaro 2 года назад

Rush early on jokingly said amongst themselves that they would become the world's smallest orchestra. And they pretty much did. Over the decades as they decide to add other instruments to their music the question was always ok, which one of us three is going to play it. You may have noticed the pedals Geddy (the singer/bassist/keyboardist) was playing with his feet. They are Moog Taurus Pedals. It is basically a synthesizer played with the feet. Both Geddy and Alex Lifeson (guitarist) play it in various songs. It can be used for synthesized bass sound when Geddy is busy on keyboards. Or it can be used for keyboard sounds when Geddy is busy on bass. The video for Rush's song Xanadu on the Exit Stage Left tour shows them playing everything you can imagine in one song.

Well put. And there were times when Geddy was playing 6 string rhythm guitar on his double neck, keys with his feet, and Alex was leading/soloing and play the bass pedals. Four instruments, 2 guys.

A normal song and normal band might do 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4... while Rush (and a few other bands like Yes) will do 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4-5-6, 1-2-3-4... or something along those lines. It's tricky to perform and you really need to feel rhythm especially well to pull it off correctly. Hope you guys see this. I know it's been a while since you posted this one.

@edanielgreen 2 года назад

That was me, in the '70s ... and, subsequently, me now (I've apparently got a decade on ya LOL) ...Yeah, I didn't realize it at the time, but I was a very lucky young Canadian high school lad, to be there at the beginning, so to the speak. To be at a bud's house in 1974 when he unwrapped the plastic from the debut album of a band he'd heard about from his cousin in Ontario: Rush. Naturally, I suppose, I became an immediate fan. I still remember the shared amazement when four of us sat down and listened to 2112 on the day of its release a couple of years later. Pure cosmic joy. I did see Rush in concert numerous times, but obviously nowhere near enough. If I'd been born wealthy, I'd probably have attended every concert of every tour. The whining of the unsophisticated at Rush's music and Geddy Lee's voice has faded over the decades. I do believe they have possibly, finally, ascended to their rightful place in the musical universe, of this planet and beyond, to hence forevermore be acknowledged as among the best. I suppose I was lucky to be born when and where I was, and, due my appreciation of these true artists, I was moved watching this video. It is indeed a joyous thing to experience the band and their music through the ears, eyes, and minds of a new generation. I wouldn't have thought it possible, but such makes me love and appreciate these three rather talented fellow Canucks even more!

"The Trees" I'm split on, because I love the way the orchestration was put together, but the lyrics are straight-up Commie. I know, it was the 70's, but still.

@shallex5744 2 года назад

@@ThePresidentialTouch that's your interpretation. everyone has their own wacky interpretation of the song's lyrics. i don't see it that way at all. the line at the end about 'noble law' and 'equality' are clearly meant to be ironic, showing, in my interpretation, that such a system of 'equality' is not possible. so if anything, i see it as anti-commie. it's about how true equality (at least amongst the trees) is impossible, and that there will always be a naturally superior race of tree (the oaks) that will inherently rule over and 'oppress' an inferior race (the maples) simply by existing according to their natural biology. the ending line about the trees being kept 'equal' by being cut down to equal size is ironic, because cutting down an oak to the same size as the maple is not actually equality. that is simply mutilating the oaks for being born who they are, which could be seen as oppression by the maples. in this scenario, equality is impossible, because either you let the oaks live as they are, and the maples will suffer and die out because of it, or you mutilate and harm the oaks just so that the maples can prosper. you cannot achieve equality, you can only shift the reigns of oppression from one tree to the other. i think the only hope for each species would be to form their own respective tree ethnostate where they can all live amongst themselves and not worry about the needs of another species

@ThePresidentialTouch 2 года назад

@@shallex5744 Equality of outcome has always been impossible in real life, because real life doesn't work that way, unless you introduce Communism. Yes, there is a lot of irony in Communism, and the outside force of the hatchet, axe, and saw, is that ironic force that provides equality of outcome, which, isn't present in Nature, and so the bulk of the song tells a story of trees, bitching about their natural order as to sun aquisition, and finally it's the Union of the maples that creates the organization they think they need to get the job done ( how it gets done always seems to end up an afterthought with unions) and such a fervor is reached that the outside force beckoned by said union reduces all of the trees so the smallest can't be effected in any way by anything larger than it, because there aren't any. It's the outside force that limits them all to only absorbing what the smallest of them can take in for itself, thus insuring the equality of outcome for all. So, your solution then is for those who are of the same, to gather in their own respective areas and just live among themselves. I agree that this would be a solution, and for achieving it, other areas will condemn it for causing segregation of the species, (see Hungary) and publicly portray it to the rest of the areas in the worst light possible with hidden jealousy and expounded derision. But hey, that's just my wacky interpretation.

Neil Peart was notoriously shy. He loved to make a music and he loved that people enjoyed the music but he hated fame and never understood it. It was well known that if people were backstage and they started complimenting him too much, they would be escorted away. Early on, he received a lot of criticism for being "stuck up" When he was just really terribly socially awkward. That's what the song Limelight is about, particularly the line "I can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend."

@@chrissiecruise7196 "The Trees" can be interpreted in a lot of ways.

Of course, now I'm much more philosophically and politically mature, but the song is still meaningful. Now I interpret it in light of those with resources to be magnanimous, because those whom you step on will not hesitate to take vengeance on you even at cost to themselves. And that's the mark of great art: it can speak to people coming to it from totally different perspectives.

@JDPWALLACE 2 года назад

I always saw Trees as the struggle of the oppressed (maples) wanting the higher position, while the oppressors (oaks) couldn't understand why the oppressed couldn't be happy where they were.
