Geddy's Soul Patch Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Why does everyone hate the lyrics so much?!?! They're good lyrics... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Nope. Good lyrics were quoted above, by Segue. Real lyrics, about real people in real situations. Not this cosmic hogwash about radiance or whatever. He said with a grin Edited July 17, 2014 by toymaker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I kinda like something about "two halves make two wholes" (I assume it's not "holes"). That's a cool lyric. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 But seriously, Speed of Love is a nice song. I quite like it for what it is. I mean, it's pretty sensitive. It's not as sensitive as, say, Wang Dang Sweet Poontang from Cat Scratch Fever, but then not everyone can be as sweet as Uncle Ted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Why does everyone hate the lyrics so much?!?! They're good lyrics... I'm listening to it again and I will adjust my previous comment to say it's the chorus that doesn't do it for me. For some reason "At the speeeeed of looove" just doesn't work for me. And the music behind the lyrics I find very middle-of-the-road and uninspired. There's a prominent cheesy funk-bass part in the middle of the song that I don't like. I guess the song as a whole just isn't my thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ah, after listening to The Speed of Love, Double Agent comes on! So refreshing. The band has again found their testicles. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugen Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 You can see how far the love for Rush goes when a topic about Speed of Love has spread out on more than 3 pages. Love is blind... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaghetti Lee Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I like "Double Agent." I don't LOVE it, and I find the riff very redundant (they have SEVERAL similar riffs in different songs) but I really like how it begins, and it's some of Neil's only redeeming work regarding their later albums; the drums are nearly impossible. "Double Agent" is a DIFFERENT song in a sea of four albums of near-sameness. I don't quite get the hatred for it...sure, it's kinda silly, but it's a GOOD silly. If you want cringeworthy platypus piss, then that'd be "Alien Snore" with all that "race is not a competition" unlistenable dreck; if you can't take Geddy singing "soooo tight" but you can sit there and not want to puke your intestines out when he sings "for you and me, sex is not a competition...sex is not a job description" then there is something wrong with your brain...and your peter! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
