Principled Man Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I would nominate Entre Nous as the Best Lyrics Neil Peart ever wrote. We are secrets to each otherEach one's life a novelNo one else has readEven joined in bonds of loveWe're linked to one anotherBy such slender threads We are planets to each otherDrifting in our orbitsTo a brief eclipseEach of us a world apartAlone and yet togetherLike two passing ships Just between usI think it's time for us to recognizeThe differences we sometimes fear to showJust between usI think it's time for us to realizeThe spaces in betweenLeave room for you and I to grow We are strangers to each otherFull of sliding panelsAn illusion showActing well rehearsed routinesOr playing from the heart?It's hard for one to know We are islands to each otherBuilding hopeful bridgesOn a troubled seaSome are burned or swept awaySome we would not chooseBut we're not always free http://media.beliefnet.com/~/media/photos/love-and-family/relationships/galleries/emotional-affairs/shutterstock_1604905.jpg 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 No better album to start a new decade! I had a great listening experience on New Year's Eve. I started to play the album exactly at midnight and the fireworks sound in the background created an almost surreal atmosphere to it. Must confess, I had tears in my eyes... :rush: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) This discussion has been brought up before. January 1st is NOT the release date of Permanent Waves. It's January 14th, which is noted here. I'm going to share this February 9, 1980 article from RPM Weekly Magazine (a former Canadian music magazine) re-posted on the Power Windows Tribute website below. Intense Early Reaction to Rush's Permanent Waves Every year that someone posts the milestone anniversary release date of Permanent Waves, this will be rectified. In a perfect world, I wish every single RUSH fan on this planet past, present, and future by default would bypass January 1st and remember January 14th for this. It's like Spinal Tap, don't look, don't touch, and don't think about January 1st in this context.

edhunter Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Greatest Rush album of the 70's! I never knew there was an edited version of TSOR. I wonder what was cut. Edited January 3, 2020 by edhunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taurus Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 January 1st would have been a holiday and all the shops would have been closed. little taurus fact: My small town had one record store "Sam the Record Man", it initially had only one copy out in the racks when Permanent Waves was released. I bought the first copy in town. The hole was a bit off centered and the ending part of Natural Science sounded a little wavy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Permanent Waves (whatever day it was released [the 14th!]) is such an awesome work. Blending the big and the little, the complexity of the music, the lift of the lyrics -- for me, it's the most Rush-y album. No weak track on that one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I never knew there was an edited version of TSOR. I wonder what was cut. The "radio" edit ironically missed out about half the song. It fades out during the instrumental bridge after the 2nd chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I never knew there was an edited version of TSOR. I wonder what was cut. It's a 3:00 minute edit in the US and the Canadian Anthem single is 3:40. Don't remember what they cut exactly it's been ages since I put it on the turntable. Not really a fan of edits. Give me the full 4:54. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Here's the 3:00 minute US edit version below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77hmXDN4tCg I viewed a documentary on Yes over the weekend, and the promo guy mentioned pushing for 'Roundabout' to get airplay on AM radio. Below is the edited version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6aJ_VlCQ30 I'm sure with RUSH it was the same related scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Here's the 3:00 minute US edit version below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77hmXDN4tCg Yep that's the same edit as you'd hear on UK radio, and jukeboxes too. I looked at the track list for that Top Of The Pops, some classic songs on that week:- https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05pl7rt I'd probably have watched it at the time and had no idea who Rush were, that obsession would come later....
