Lucas Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 We thought we were really smart. [Rush] couldn’t do that now, because [we’re] not armed with the same naiveté. That naiveté makes you a bit more audacious — and great art comes from audacity. I love this - and it is completely true 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verena Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Some backstory behind some of the bands songs. http://www.ew.com/ar...es-behind-songsI didn't know the story behind Anthem. (Neither the others, except YYZ). I loved this article, thanks for posting. :cheers: When you’ve had a long career it’s OK to borrow from yourself, because that’s sort of what style is. But you have to do it in a fresh way that brings something completely new. I’m particularly proud of that song, I think it’s one of the best we’ve ever written.It's great to hear from Geddy. It's really among their best songs, indeed! :ebert: We thought we were really smart. [Rush] couldn’t do that now, because [we’re] not armed with the same naiveté.

There's a lot of truth in many ways to what Geddy said: "That naiveté makes you a bit more audacious — and great art comes from audacity" When you're young and everything seems exciting and new you feel like you can do anything. I know. I did things that I think about today and wonder how or where I ever had or got the nerve to do them. I wouldn't dare today, but back then.....it's like someone said once - I think it was Justin Hayward - you think yourself invincible when you are young. That's why I always loved the chorus (I think that's what it would be called - correct me if I am wrong) to Dreamline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
