Tom Sawyer Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yyzyy Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Love both of 'em...they kind of have the same feel to me. But all in all, I prefer Leave, just because it is a little bit catchier IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetmiracle Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 What about 'A Farewell to Things'?? Was that a foreshadowing of the later 'Thing' songs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midway Hawker Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 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..

Red Porschetta Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I heard somewhere that Peaceable Kingdom was supposed to be an instrumental. Does anyone know about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they are wondering where the thing is. Of course, it happened in reverse order. It's all really confusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
