Two different things


Tom Sawyer

Recommended Posts

It's just one of my favorites, so I thought I'd repost it.

 

Is there any connection between "Where's My Thing" and "Leave That Thing Alone?"

 

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson discussed this during the Counterparts world premiere:

 

GL: Only that the fact that they both have "things" in the title.

 

AL: Yeah, and they're on our records.

 

GL: The "things" are different are different things.

 

AL: It's not the same thing.

 

GL: It's not the same thing. Really, you have to say, "It's just not the same thing."

 

AL: No, no... it's just a... thing.

 

GL: It's a different thing.

 

AL: A totally different thing

 

GL: Yeah.

Doing 3 albums in a row with an instrumental was so cool since they hadn't done one since YYZ. too bad we didn't get one on VT. All of Rush's instrumentals are amazing. Really showcase the talent of these dudes.

I think there is a definate "things" theme whether they admit it or not..

What about 'A Farewell to Things'?? Was that a foreshadowing of the later 'Thing' songs?

I only know of "Peaceable Thingdom" cool.gif

They sound a lot alike to me.

well you see, he didn't leave that thing alone, and took it. Now they are wondering where the thing is.

Of course, it happened in reverse order. It's all really confusing!
