Recommended Posts

Name your favorite lyric. Must be a 1 phrase only! Meaning 1 or 2 sentences.

 

Mine is:

 

Time Stand Still-

"Summer's going fast, lights growing colder,

Children growing up, old friends growing older"

hmm... Good question. I'm having difficulty answering this one... I'm torn between "Frozen in the fatal climb" or that wonderful alliteration in "The shifting shafts of shining weave the fabric of their dreams"... or maybe "Net boy net girl" biggrin.gif

I can't pick ONE favorite, but here's one of my favorites:

 

"You can never break the chain

There is never love without pain"

It is almost impossible to have one. I cannot decide between these two so I am just going to list them both

 

Subdivisions -

"Any escape might help to smooth

The unattractive truth

But the suburbs have no charms to sooth,

The restless dream of youth"

 

The Analog Kid -

"When I leave I dont know

What I'm hoping to find

And When I leave I dont know

What I'm leaving behind"

On a side note, doesnt this belong in the Rush forum, not Random Samples?

Sure, move it please!

Since it was just a general question, I thought I'd post it here. wink.gif

Me, also. Although I like:

 

I've got celestial mechanics

to synchronize my stars

Having worked in radio on and off for over 20 years and being all too aware of the business reality as well as the magic of the medium, it's got to be

 

"All this machinery making modern music

can still be open hearted.

Not so coldly charted, it's really just a question of your honesty.

One likes to believe in the freedom of music,

but glittering prizes

and endless compromises

shatter the illusion of integrity"

 

My first show as a DJ was November '82, that was the first song I played.

My last was in June '90, and TSOR was the second last song I played, because any time I left a station, my last song was always Alan Parsons' "Old and Wise".

 

I've written that verse on the wall of the record libraries of the The Voice of Peace which was anchored off Israel and Radio Caroline in the North Sea.

 

Honourable mentions go to Witch Hunt, Prime Mover and Resist.

Hmmm, that's more than a single phrase, the way I describe it.

"You can surrender

Without a prayer

But never really pray

Pray without surrender

 

You can fight

Without ever winning

But never ever win

Without a fight"

OK, I'll go for the last two lines-

 

"Glittering prizes and endless compromises

shatter the illusion of integrity"

Hello fellow Rush Fans!! Here's one of mine... We don't have to talk

We don't even have to touch

I can feel your presence

In the silence that we share
