Baggins4Rush Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hey Rush fans, Currently listening to Farewell to Kings. YES! Just had a question regarding resources for official Rush lyrics and/or other bands. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable, bug-free resource? The Official Rush website? I cannot find anything that resembles a lyrics section. Thanks to all you like-minded Rush fans !! Baggins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I know I'm quite old but I thought the lyrics came with the album/cd. That was what I was going to post also, quite seriously- just look at the booklet or sleeve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins4Rush Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 I don't know how old you are but my vinyl versions (with covers) are long gone, my 8-tracks are....gone, even my cassette tapes are missing in action. All that I have are the CDs and they don't always come with lyrics. :codger: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe all of mine do. 99 percent of bands have the lyrics in the CD booklet. Sorry, I should have been more clear. Totally my fault! I had just gotten off the train from Bangkok. After looking more closely... Admittedly, it was a dumb f***ing question as I should have looked more closely to the descriptions of the forums. Shame on I. My main question was in regards to lyrics resources for all rock bands online or even on bands' official websites. That's why I mentioned that there weren't any lyrics to songs on Rush's official website. Even Lyrics.com, the "greatest lyrics resource in the world", falls woefully short of being worth a shit. I was only asking if there was a go-to place for official or close to official lyrics to Rush songs or anyone's songs. I salute this site for having a complete f***ing catalog of lyrics for Rush !! Thank you ! And when I mentioned that I was listening to A Farewell to Kings, seriously, THAT was one of the last CDs that I have purchased for Rush. Most all of my music is digital in a cloud somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most all of my music is digital in a cloud somewhere. I do like when I purchase something on iTunes and they offer a digital booklet you can flip through on your computer. Not sure they ever offered that with Rush but I do enjoy it when it's included because a lot of my newer musical purchases have been digital over the last several years. I've had everything from Rush on CD for a long time now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins4Rush Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Good point and I agree. And no matter what physical format I've ever bought for any band, I've moved so many damned times that it's no wonder I can find anything from my youth and early adulthood. Again, this great site has ALL of Rush's lyrics so no need to go anywhere else but I did find two lyrics sites with large and somewhat complete databases and they are metrolyrics and findmusicbylyrics if anyone cares to view other, much more inferior bands' lyrics. Only kidding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Not every album included lyrics. I only owned three Rush albums and don't recall if any of them had the lyrics. CD's were past my time and I never collected enough of them to know if they always included lyrics too. Edited June 13, 2019 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdogged Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) I have just recently started memorizing the lyrics to every song in Rush's catalog. So far I have La villa and YYZ totally committed to memory. Edited June 13, 2019 by snowdogged 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is there were several versions and the ones without lrics i got through a cd club like bmg as a cost cutting measure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Villa is a long song too. Must have lots of verses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had obviously been to that point but didn't click on each of the album icons. I always knew what their albums were and didn't ever go any further. It's actually pretty extensive after drilling down on each link. Liner notes were just what I was looking for. Thanks all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
