Geddy's Soul Patch Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 There are endless choices, that's my favorite thing about Rush, Geddy and Alex are the masters of melody 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The Big Wheel may be the least melodic song in their catalog, the verses especially. Sorry, but reverbed staccato syllables do not lend well to "catchiness" or whatever they were going for. Then that godawful Barry Manilow frickin' chorus. Cher or Barry Manilow? Which is it?Cherry Manilow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I never thought of singing a Rush song in the shower. Don't try it - you might inhale too much water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but reverbed staccato syllables do not lend well to "catchiness" or whatever they were going for. I don't know...7COG and The Larger Bowl are pretty lacking in the melody department as wellMaybe... I can remember how 7COG goes though, melodically speaking, especially the chorus. It's not very melodic but certainly not the least. Larger Bowl, kinda, though I couldn't tell you how the verse goes. Big Wheel... nothing but that "Looking for luuurv" line, and that only stood out for being so cheesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Would Rivendell be considered melody? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I say this with all due respect, because I love Rush . . . but listening to The Big Wheel is like actually witnessing a castration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagegrace26 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 I believe in what I seeI believe in what I hearI believe that what I'm feelingChanges how the world appears Angels and demons dancing in my headLunatics and monsters underneath my bedMedia messiahs preying on my fearsPop culture prophets playing in my ears I've got celestial mechanicsTo synchronize my starsSeasonal migrations, daily variationsWorld of the unlikely and bizarre I've got idols and icons, unspoken holy vowsThoughts to keep well-hiddenSacred and forbiddenFree to browse among the holy cows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
