Is Circumstances In Your Top 10 ??

[chemistry]

[Segue Myles]

Its not even on my radar.

 

Decent song. Ok album.

[thirteen]

IMO Circumstances is defined by Geddy's ass-kickin' bass lines.

 

A very good song IMO

[JohnnyBlaze]

I've gotten great enjoyment out of this song. Because of its length, it's the only one I routinely listen to off of Hemispheres; all of Hemispheres is good but it's just more of a commitment. Circumstances is lyrically one of their best, sonically catchy and rewarding, and while the production's definitely too hot it can be forgiven--I suspect they were just trying to go for a bolder, more ambitious sound on the album which I think was at least successful.

 

Also sing-yelling plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose is probably the most satisfying thing I've done to a Rush song (not that I can think of very many satisfying things I've done to the tune of Rush in the grander scheme of things) so there you have it.

Now that you have seen all you have done...it's time to take that step...into the kingdom...

 

And that includes doing many more satisfying things to the tune of Rush in the grander scheme of things.

Its a wonderful song but not in my top 10. Rush just has to many songs that are even better for it to crack my top 10. Most likely my top 25. Still, one very fine song.

[lifeson90]

I divide my top tens or whatever into 3 stages now, circumstances defo gets in my pre-1980 top ten

[The K Man]

No. I like it a lot, but it wouldn't have a prayer of even making my top 50.

[diatribein]

This is my favourite 70s RUSH song, so it is in the top 25 overall.

[laughedatbytime]

Top 15 but not top 10

[WildKineticDreams]

You know, I have to listen to this one again, and really the whole thing cause it's probably a top 5 album. However, Circumstances was always my least favorite part of the Hemispheres album. It just didn't click with me like the others, but I am eager to listen to the whole album soon and will see if my opinions change.

[Pound of Obscure]

VERY dissapointed to hear the 2007 Tuned Down version������

Well, it is insanely high, like all of Hemispheres. It would have killed Geddy had they not tuned it down.

 

Awesome song. Geds bass line is one of my favorites. How he plays that and sings at the same time is unreal.

My most satisfying moment is the opening few words.. AAY boy alone- so FAR FROM home.. And that part where Ged sings and plays "I felt the gloom of empty r-do doodledo doodledo do do do.." ya you know the part. How the fukk does he do that! This may be a top 5 song for me and it's an amazing showcase for Ged's ability to sing complicated words while playing complicated bass at the same time.

I love the mid section of this song. Fore score and twenty years ago I posted how I saw it as a video. Too lazy to search for it, though.

[furie]

Not my go to song to be sure
