Well, I know most of you are obviously gonna be Rush related, but for those who are not, or if there is more of a story to it, let's hear it!

 

Mine is from a Jerry Garcia Band tune called Might as Well

It's from my all-time favorite series of books! Here's the first volume of the saga:

I was originally gonna go for FishEyeLens but it doesn't sound that charming to be honest. laugh.gif

Shame about that.

 

Due to a common mis-hearing of the Camera Eye we could have called you Fish Island instead tongue.gif

It's from my license plate number (see avatar...as that is my actual license plate on my Trailblazer). I got that plate because I love Bytor and the Snowdog, and I'm an avid snowmobiler and winter aficionado.

Hahaha, I actually wrote that on the new misheard lyrics thread. I love Pod's username on here. NooneAtTheFridge. Classic. laugh.gif

Nothing exciting really. I just came up with the name 'Jaye' and had it in my head for a while, wanting to use it somewhere. And this was the next place I ended up. tongue.gif

I almost called myself 'Jaye_Lee' actually! laugh.gif blush4.gif

 

(I usually use 'Jett Moonwing' as a username, though.)

Mine is probably obvious tongue.gif

 

I was just a kid when the first 2.gif album came out in 1974 (I was 11, to be exact) and I had a couple of older brothers & sisters who corrupted me into rock music at a very early age; Rush was the first band I really got introduced to - followed quickly by The Who, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Lou Reed, etc.

 

Got my first Geddy crush wub.gif in 1976 when I was 13 and he sang Tears just for me... laugh.gif

 

Been a major Rush fan ever since! 653.gif

Song: Love Is Like Oxygen

Artist: Sweet

Year: 1978

 

Love is like oxygen

You get too much

you get too high

Not enough and

you're gonna die

Love gets you high

Love is like oxygen

. . .

Time on my side

I got it all

I've heard that pride

Always comes before a fall

There's a rumour goin'

round the town

That you don't want me around

I can't shake off

my city blues

Every way I turn I lose

Love is like oxygen

. . .

 

Love is like oxygen

. . .

Time is no healer

If you're not there

Lonely fever

Sad words in the air

Some things are

better left unsaid

I'm gonna spend my

days in bed

I'll walk the

streets at night

To be hidden by

the city lights

City lights

Love is like oxygen

. . .

Love is like oxygen

. . .

 

My parents are English and were big fans of them in the early days, I remember it playing on the record player when I was a kid so I kinda got stuck onto it from there.
