I know i'll probably get canned for saying this ... but i LOVE the song Countdown .. .always have. It really gives you a great idea of what it would be like to actually attend a shuttle launch.

 

Might be that it was the first Rush album i bought "as it was released" But i just find this song (and album) so captivating ... Losing It/Subdivisions/The Weapon/New World Man ... they are al ltruly great songs !!!!! new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

In Losing It, by the time "The flooding through her memory, The echoes of old applause." I'm usually moved. It reminds me of my last "real" basketball game. I was on varsity in high school, but wasn't good enough to go on to play college ball (at least in a school worth getting an education from, which was really the prime objective). Intramurals just aren't the same as having a whole school hollering for you.

 

In OLV, "a spirit breaking free." Self-explanatory.

 

Mission- Final solo!

 

Ghost Rider- makes me feel for Neil

 

Afterimage- Self-explanatory.

 

Plenty more moving pieces, but those are the first few that came to mind.

Analog Kid - You move me, you move me. With your buildings and your eyes. Autumn woods and winter skies. You move me, you move me. Open sea and city lights. Busy streets and dizzy heights. You call me, you CALL ME.

 

 

Different Strings - All there really is, is the two of us. And we both know why we've come along. Nothing to explain, it's a part of us. To be found within a song.

 

 

Armor and Sword - No one gets to their heaven without a fight. A refuge for the coming night. A future of eternal light. No one gets to their HEAVEN without a fight.

 

 

All of Hope, from beginning to end, I'm in total "moving" mode.

 

 

I have more, too many to list.

Bravado

 

"If we burn our wings

Flying too close to the sun

If the moment of glory

Is over before it's begun

If the dream is won -

Though everything is lost

We will pay the price,

But we will not count the cost

 

When the dust has cleared

And victory denied

A summit too lofty

River a little too wide

If we keep our pride -

Though paradise is lost

We will pay the price,

But we will not count the cost

 

And if the music stops

There's only the sound of the rain

All the hope and glory

All the sacrifice in vain

If love remains

Though everything is lost

We will pay the price,

But we will not count the cost"

 

 

always gets me- I will pay the price, but i will not count the cost

I have to agree....this takes me back to a very hopeless time of my life and can still bring me to tears...... eh.gif

Another one that gets me:

 

This particular part of Presto

 

"I had a dream of a winter garden

a midnight rendezvous

silver, blue, and frozen silence

what a fool I was for you

 

I had a dream of the open water

I was swimming away out to sea

so deep I could never touch bottom

what a fool I used to be

 

if I could wave my magic wand

I'd set everybody free"

Great lyrics, I don't see why so many people dislike that song

I didn't know there was any hate towards this song. It's definitely overlooked, but one of my favs.

I would have to say the chorus of Time Stand Still when Ged and Aimee are doing the call-response vocals. Resist is also a very beautiful song. Also, the acoustic beginning of The Trees brings has sentimental meaning to me cause I remember listening to the Chronicles cassette my Dad gave me when I was 10. I remember sitting in my room listening to that intro over and over and over....
