On TheRoad To Adventure

I came to write this song.

When our weary world was young The struggle of the Ancients first began The Gods of Love and Reason Sought alone to rule the fate of Man

1950's - ( I feel old!) I looked for some interesting facts about the year of my birth. It was before the Grammy awards began! It was the year that "Summertime Blues" by Eddie Cochran peaked at #8. And of course, Geddy, Alex and Neil were all born a few years before me, but still in the same decade. That makes the 50's the best decade!

I went to a Optometrist a couple years ago, after buying a set of 1.75 readers and the first thing he said was "How old are you"? - "I'm 46"... "yeah, that's about the age I start seeing people. Evidently my sight is diminishing further and further. I can usually see fonts a foot away at or above 10pt but smaller... need the readers. Anyone else a lost sightseer like me. Yes, it's a familiar story. It happened to both me and my husband at the same age, about 46. It sounds like you're normal. At our age it's important to see an optometrist every year or two, more often if you've had a sudden change. Hope this helps.

I can't believe it! This one just jumped out at me because it's been running through my head all day! As the sun goes down On the western shore It makes me feel uneasy In the hot dry rasp of the devil winds Who cares what a fool believes

These are the Rush songs we hear here. 1. Tom Sawyer 2. Subdivisions 3. Limelight 4. Spirit of Radio 5. Freewill 6. Closer to the Heart 7. Red Barchetta 8. Working Man 9. Fly By Night 10. In the Mood 11. The Trees 12. Distant Early Warning 13. New World Man 14. Time Stand Still (twice) 15. The Big Money (once) 16. Superconductor (twice) I believe Time Stand Still is the newest I've ever heard on the radio. And yes, some of us do listen to the radio - my old car doesn't have a CD player, and satellite radio costs an arm and a leg.

People are busy posting today. It's hard to keep this thread on top!

Mine is a re-issue and it is upside down too when I place them all the shelf. In addition, the lyrics are printed in the wrong order! I only bought it a couple of years ago - the last Rush album I purchased, so I don't know the songs very well yet. When I want to follow along, it's a little annoying that the songs are in the wrong order.

I love this song too. In fact, when I heard VT the first time, it was the only song I liked (except for "One Little Victory," which is in my top 10). Gradually, I grew to like the whole album. I would love to hear CU played live! I did not see Rush on the VT tour, and they haven't played it since.

You know you're a Rush fan when you start singing "Red Lenses" every time the weather changes: And the mercury is rising Barometer starts to fall You know it gets to us all...

Good one, 1 of the 7! I believe you go next.
