Just a brilliant piece of writting! One of my top 5 songs.

I'm trying to find the video for everyone right now.

I adore the entire song but especially the ending, that ending, that magnificent ending, with drum fills to die for and Geddy's misspelling and...! Oh, just call it one of the coolest endings in the entire catalogue!

 

There is nothing I dislike about VS, absolutely nothing...except perhaps the fact that I can't make out most of the lyrics properly. Fortunately the music itself more than compensates for that!

 

"Everybody got to deviate from the norm..." Nice one, Neil, but if everybody did that, there would soon be no norm to deviate from. LOL.gif

I just added those two videos to my shared file on Winmx if anyone wants them.

Thanx Indy! I do have winmx and i'll look out for those vids!

HAHA - be careful. I did a search for Rush videos and most of what came up was gay porn with Matthew Rush, and Jennifer Rush anal vids. laugh.gif

I know i hear ya....and it's not Jennifer Rush...she's the singer with that godawful "Power of Love" song from the 80's... laugh.gif The problem with Rush is the name is so vague....

I think Vital Signs is a killer song. For some reason, I wasn't big on it until the Rio live set...I think while MP is a great album, I just think the sound of it is too "closed in" and Vital Signs seems to have that feel that it wants to "break out" and give room to breathe with some echo going on, which Rio supplies in heavy servings.

 

It sounds sort of Police-ish...well, not "sort of"...more like DOES sound like The Police, but of course it has that unmatched Peart subject matter to it that makes it firmly a Rush track.

I just turned my Winmx back on if you want to look for those vids. This time I will keep it on, I feel asleep last time and my computer rebooted for some reason, it has a mind of it's own sometimes, I built it so that might explain that. laugh.gif

Vital Signs is probably my favorite the most often, especially during "close." During the first week of every month, we "close" the books of the previous month and report financial position and profitability. The reporting deadline creates tension among us with interruptions, crashing computers and out of balance reconciliations. Don't get me wrong, after about day 3 it all comes together and feels f*cking fantastic. But on the way home from day 1 or 2, I will crank the car stereo up to 11 and play Vital Signs over and over on the ride home. It's therapy.

BTW just the standard deviation, please, I am an accountant after all. biggrin.gif
