madra sneachta Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 It's aerobic (air drumming and guitar playing make for a good workout by my standards at least), and it exercises the brain. Neil's lyrics often help me stand back and examine situations and scenarios. Coincidentally, as I read this, I'm listening to The Pass. QED.

deamhain Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I tend to come at this from the other direction. Like other artists or styles, what I listen to depends on my mood to start with. Melancholy, upbeat, joyful, cheesed-off - whatever, will affect my choice. Must admit that Roll The Bones is a good uplifter when taken at face value. No point moping about, it says to me, things are as they are so get with it. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushengal Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Rush gets me thought the day, from the cold walks to school (-18 windchill yesterday... and I have a school uniform consisting of a kilt), to lunches playing cards with friends, through 4 hours of work, and its normally the last thing I listen to at night... set the stereo on sleep and go to bed. Their music always puts me in a better mood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pags Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I get how certain music seems to fit our various moods. But it's just not like that for me with Rush. Other music/artists... yes, but not Rush. They are so embedded as a part of my lifestyle that they have transcended fitting into certain moods. However, the original post was from an opposite perspective - what mood does Rush put me in? Well... it is my therapy, my escape, my return to reality, my 'getting in touch with myself' (without using my hands ), my getting my Adrenaline Surge fix, and my relaxation. It is everything. Rush is... every mood/emotion/perspective, etc. to me. No other artist, band, music genre, poet, writer, blah blah blah can encompass what they do. They are ALL.

Me too. Always at least one Rush CD in my 10-disc CD autochanger in the car. I spend over 2 hours a day going to/from work and I need music to put me in the right frame of mind - both directions. Needless to say at the moment there are 10 CDs in said autochanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huck Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I agree with Paganoman, with other music there are choices - different music/artists for different moods, but with Rush its different their music suits any mood amd I'm a very moody person! Rush gets me rockin', rush gets me nostalic, thoughtful, soothes when I'm wound up, cheers me up when I'm down and lifts me even higher when I'm up! I'm off to a client now for a difficult meeting but switch on the car stereo - Rush and I know it will be fine.....................and it was!!!

No way!! I've tried to work to Rush and it all goes horribly wrong - I need smooth music to give me the illusion that it not all going well. I slap on a bit of Rush when I want a bit of intensity and integrity after work At work I'm so in my own head space, really measured and slow, - so it's great to hear something intense (start of Sweet miracle at the mo) to break me out of that. But it has integrity, it people doing exactly what they want without compromise (which makes a break from the day). And cos no-ine else likes it in my world, it's a bit of time to myself.

Indica Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Most rush songs gets me excited. I get what I call "pumped up".............Like parts in red barchetta or digital man or analog kid, I will play air drums a lot. To be honest, if I was in a hyper rush mood and someone that wasn't a rush-head was around, I would probably get on their nerves quick. Like when Peart would hit the splash cymbal, I would do the air drums in their face, so close they feel the air off of it, and miss them by about an inch, and never miss a beat. I wouldn't do that to a fellow Rush fan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
