Show Don't Tell Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 QUOTE (Choose/the/light @ Feb 27 2008, 06:19 PM) I think the fade out solo on Mission is one of Alex's best solo's 100% agreed. I'm learning to play this on guitar, and the first thing I wanted to learn was the solo. Simply beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gleamingalloyaircar81 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 QUOTE (Show Don't Tell @ Feb 27 2008, 05:45 PM) I simply love the end of Marathon live on A Show Of Hands. I also love the chorus to Marathon. Those and all of Mission have made me spring a leak in the eyes. Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gleamingalloyaircar81 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I just love the part in Workin Them Angels when Geddy sing "Filling my spirit with the wildest wish to fly" and how it echoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missionman Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 The solo on Mission. That one has a lot of emotion to it! And fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mankad89 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 The instrumental part that fades out at the end of Countdown. The arpeggios create a VERY vivid atmosphere in my mind, and the radio chatter in the background is great as well. It fades out beautifully and has moved me on more than a few occasions. I feel like the ending of Countdown is genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Muffin Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Presto tour, The part just after the first solo in La Villa with the synths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfGumby Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 La Villa always moves me.... Also Hemispheres. And there are so many, lately I have been really digging Mission (read my signature) Natural Science is also such a fantastic song. But this one gets me in the right mind every time I hear it - "All of us get lost in the darkness Dreamers learn to steer by the stars All of us do time in the gutter Dreamers turn to look at the cars" Presto is on right now and I am listening to it, there are some fine verses there too! Red Sector A is probably one of the bands most powerful songs,and has always moved me. My son recently was studying the Holocost and I had him listen to Red Sector A and read an interview with Geddy talking about that song and when he and his Mom and family went to Germany to see Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz... http://www.heebmagazine.com/articles/view/205 All that we can do is just survive All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive Ragged lines of ragged grey Skeletons, they shuffle away Shouting guards and smoking guns Will cut down the unlucky ones I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed A wound that will not heal A heart that cannot feel Hoping that the horror will recede Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed Sickness to insanity Prayer to profanity Days and weeks and months go by Don't feel the hunger Too weak to cry I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate Are the liberators here? Do I hope or do I fear? For my father and my brother, it's too late But I must help my mother stand up straight Are we the last ones left alive? Are we the only human beings to survive?

Nate1647 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 All of TFE version of Resist. All of Ghost Rider Final chorus of marathon with the 2 key changes then the huge charge into the halftime All of the pass Instrumental Section of DEW Instrumental section of TSOR Chorus of Color of Right 2nd chrous of TWTWB many many more and most importantly for me The drum fill from S+A tour on Ghost of a Chance at 5:04 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCapHXrKZXk All of mission (espeically the harmony on "if their lives were exotic and strange," and of course Al's solo) and my favorite mission moment: THE DRUM FILL AT 2:56 just before ged starts singing the 2nd chours. don't act like i'm crazy, from a very musical drummers standpoint, this is the best fill neil has ever come up with. it is simply BRILLIANT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush Cocky Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 The start of Cygnus X-1 on Rush in Rio is awesome. Actually, I get a charge every time I hear that intro bass line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good,bad,andrush Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 The Fountain of Lamneth-Still, I am. 2112-my lifeblood...spills over Cygnus X-1-the x-ray is her siren song, my ship cannot resist her long La Villa Strangiato-(Has better lyrics than most other songs) the really heavy guitar part after the solo right before the rhythms become jazzy again Different Strings-all there really is, just the two of us Vital Signs-the chorus towards the end...Everybody got to elevate from the norm Losing It-thirty years ago, how the words would flow (being a writer myself...wow.) Between The Wheels-we can go from rocket's red glare...down to brother can you spare another war...another wasteland...and another...lost generation Middletown Dreams-dreams flow across the heartland Time Stand Still-time stand still...I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me now Prime Mover-anything can happen Mission-the intro, because when I saw it with my dad on the Snakes and Arrows tour (and this was one of the first time I ever decided to do something with my dad; we used to not get along; he asked me to go with him, and I didn't know much about Rush then...but I went anyway) he cried when this song opened up (it had been his favorite)...ever since then, my dad and I have become absolute Rush fans The Pass-Christ what have you done? (This song made me complete forget about ever considering suicide) Ghost Of A Chance-I don't believe in forever...or love as a mystical state Bravado-we will pay the price...but we will not count the cost Everyday Glory-though we live in trying times...we're the ones who have to try Leave That Thing Alone-the background during the whole song takes me to another world Cold Fire-I said if love has these conditions...I don't understand the songs you love Resist-you can fight without ever winning...but never ever win, win without a fight Hope-the whole song Faithless-but I still cling to hope...And I believe in love Bravado on Different Stages-the extension, especially towards the end...always hits me...this is my favorite song in the world.

Ted Barchetta Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Marathon's final chorus is waaaay up there. Anyone who shuns the synth period really should listen to this song, It's a masterpiece. Another great one is Time Stand Still, especially now. it's so relative in my life, I'm going into the real world. I wish I could just slow it all down.

Babycat Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 QUOTE (drewb93 @ Aug 31 2007, 02:02 PM) Resist, where it goes, "You can surrender without a prayer ...", I feel that's a very moving part. I also like The Pass, and Losing It. Both are both emotionally moving songs! I just love that part of Resist: You can surrender Without a prayer But never really pray Without surrender You can fight Without ever winning But never ever win Without a fight That totally moves me.

Show Don't Tell Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Available Light - the outro gets me every time. "I'll go with the wind... I'll stand in the light..."Marathon - the whole songGhost Of A Chance - basically from the second chorus till the end. Beautiful.Afterimage - the instrumental middle section. Also, I always get chills when Alex hits that harmonic at 2:17.Losing It - the outroEveryday Glory - the soloBetween The Wheels - the solo, and the refrain after itMission - the whole songTime Stand Still - the musical interlude in 7/8 (with Aimee's reverbed vocals)2112: Soliloquy - needs no explanationThe Analog Kid - "Too many hands on my time, too many feelings..."Open Secrets - the whole song, but especially, "I find no absolution..."Bravado - the extended outro and solo by Alex on Different Stages, Rio, and many from the Roll The Bones and Counterparts tours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a little bit afraid of dyin', but he's a lot more afraid of your lion.... this always made me think about lions and how they are so beautiful yet deadly. and why someone who was not a zoo keeper actually own a lion?
