Musical Instruments You Play
Well, I've got a good voice. That's about it. I could probably play the triangle if someone gave me one.

I love this song. I've been saying for a while that I want In the End played at my funeral during the recessional. The live version from All the World's a Stage. It'd be totally unexpected...particularly when the first part is rather melodic, quiet and poignant sounding in tone, and then the pause and it comes in hard and oh so good. I think it'd lighten the mood a little and send everyone along on a higher note. Particularly with the applause and "THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" Not that I plan on having one soon. A funeral that is. Still...it's good to have plans.

Oh no...this is so sad! I was recently wondering how Lorraine was doing,I knew she was ill but it'd been a while since I checked in here. I always enjoyed the interactions we had. She was a very nice person. Rest in Peace, Sweet lady. :rose:

The entire lyrics to Natural Science but especially the last part... Wave after wave will flow with the tide and bury the world as it does tide after tide will flow and recede leaving life to go on as it was *Sigh* ...Sublime

The problem I have with the lyrics on the last couple records, and it's a problem I've mentioned before, is the shoehorning of the lyrics into the music...like it used to be that when crafting a song, the lyrics fit seamlessly into the music. The tempo was correct for both in a way that was smooth and attractive. But the last couple of albums there was very little effort to fit the lyrics with the music, or the length of a sentence into the time frame of the alotted melodic bit (See Armor and Sword, The larger Bowl,The Anarchist, Seven Cities, etc) The result is an awkward blend of run-on sentences, ill-fitting lyrics (not in terms of content/meaning but clunky and awkward). That combined with the lower pitch to Geddy's tone (the funeral dirge, as I like to call it) just made both S & A and CA not as good for me. Not as well crafted as their earlier albums. Dont get me wrong, there are some excellent musical bits (the Anarchist is well nigh perfect musically, it's just when the lyrics come in that they lose me), it's just with some of the lyrics and lyrical bits and the way they fit, that I take exception to.

And here was I thinking you were a big fan of the Roll the Bones "rap"... “Fridge, relax! Get busy with the crap” The rap becomes more and more shite over the years. I blame Rupert Hine for allowing them to do that. If I'd have been the producer I'd have said, "you're not doing that on one of my records." As producer I would’ve said, “Boys, I know you’re just takin’ the piss with this rap but it’s got to go.” I can imagine Fridge dancing to it right after he called the album a pile of crap, and really humping the stereo like a misguided RUSH Casanova, that's right Fridge wants to f**k the Roll the Bones rap! If by f***ing it you mean ramming a sawn -off shotgun up it's fetid, putrescent arsehole and squeezing the trigger as hard as I can then you would be quite correct.... :eyeroll: My but you do have a flare for the melodramatic, don't you? If you knew me in person you would know that is most certainly not the case... He's more of a dour understated curmudgeon. :hail: So kind of like this then? :codger: (I hope you know I'm just teasing you, Fridge...there are a few Rush songs that get my ire up...I've myself have been know to have a flare for the melodramatic regarding them. Just ask Goose ;) ) Here’s Fridge with a shotgun dealing with Powers Boothe and David Carradine’s kid brother: http://youtu.be/f0CSZxcmXfY So yeah, he probably won’t shoot you...but he would if it came to it. If you’re wondering what happened to one of his arms - he had a couple of mosquito bites on it one night that really irritated him so he sawed it off with the rustiest blade he could find. Melli/mellow-drama and all. *Slowly backing away to the hillside just beyond shooting distance...* His name is Keith...the Carradine that is... JB & treeduck: "What?!" *Comes a little closer..* I said...His name is KEITH!! KEITH CARRADINE!!! Fine, Fridge can dislike Roll the Bones!

I think the flare he might have in mind is one that sets fire to the place! Pffffffttt... yeah, I think that much is obvious.

POLL: Best Rush Song From Signals To Test For Echo (shorter, popular songs)
Alien Girl replied to _hi_water._'s topic in Rush
that comes second for me... or TSS Well, if we're talking seconds...Distant Early Warning or Dreamline for me. Are you back for good? I don't know...I wander in, I wander out. I'm gone for a few months then I'm back for a spell. There's no set formula. Maybe I was stranded on an island for a while without internet! I mean, not that I was, but I could've been...there's no telling!! It's because you're traveling around in a flying saucer! Well, yeah... It's the only way to fly. But it does tend to mess with the time/space continuum. It's nice to be back though. ;) -
