trick_and_secret Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Is there anything he can sing that DOESN'T send a shiver down your spine and make you go all goose-pimpley??? Ummm, no. I heard Dream Theater doing Tears once, now, great respect to these guys, but you can ONLY sing a Rush/Geddy song if you are Geddy. Therefore, no covers please!

gypsy_owl Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I just listened to Hemispheres (the song, not the whole album) for the first time in a few years. The vocals on the entire thing physically hurt me because they were so great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I recently came across a 'demo' version of Double Agent, and the opening singing ("Where would you rather be...") accompanied with only bass sounded stellar. His voice is so nice! Lovely tone, and soothing vibrato. I listened to that same song a half dozen more times, then trawled through all the live versions I have of it. I certainly appreciate Geddy's singing chops more now! And the bridge in Everyday Glory ("If the future's looking dark...") has always brought shivers. One of the best snippets in Rush's catalogue, methinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 We'd be here for a few days if I listed every line that makes me swoon, but I WILL mention that I have the biggest thing for the way Geddy sings the word "move". Think about how many Rush songs that word's in... Hey baby, the hour is late, I feel I've got to move ...oh yeah... Just keep smilin', move onward ev'ry day I cannot move, I cannot hide/ I feel a silent scream begin inside The mob moves like demons possessed ...this one... You move me - You move me - ...OH BABY... Some are born to move the world - ...mmm... Why move around the world when Eden was so near? We can move with savage grace ...uh huh!... To the movers and the shakers- ...stretching it a bit, but man, I love Second Nature... Watch his every move ...oh, but I am... You move around ...yeah, to get a good view of you, Geddy!... You moooove like you're walking on thin ice ...*THUD* If you could just move yours As they move among the crowd Carrie? Carrie? you okay? *still passed out* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 ^^ ^^ You do have a point there. I'm just going to add that I find Geddy's singing on Ghost Of A Chance to be very sexy. Carry on..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZrocks Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 QUOTE (1 of the 7 @ Jul 26 2011, 05:38 PM)Watch his every move ...oh, but I am... Presto is full of these! "I radiate more heat than light" (not only is that true, he sounds really good singing it!) "In the available light" (powerful and sexy voice!) I could ramble on about all the others but I have way too many to list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageAmy Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Oh, man, I can't believe I just found this thread! I'm glad it's still active... A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned, but here goes: Animate (pretty much the whole song) Cold Fire (staying up all night talking...) Presto (just a very romantic song in some ways) Ghost of a Chance (ditto) Between the Sun and Moon (the much discussed "aaah yes to yes..." along with "penetrate") In the Mood and Need Some Love (mmmm.... portrait of the artist as a young hormone bomb) Rivendell (sensitive '70s Ged!) Madrigal (see Rivendell) There are a TON more, but that's all I could think of off the top of my head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can no longer listen to that song innocently. My dirty mind completely misinterprets it. The video of Rush's first show on the Vapor Trails tour, in Hartford, Connecticut, doesn't help. See what you do to your fangirls, Geddy? I don't mind it, but whoa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobodysHeroine Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I'd like to add the song "Earthshine." One of my Rush nicknames is Earthshine, so whenever I listen to that song, it seems as if Geddy's singing to and about me. Quite a lovely feeling... Also "Double Agent." His voice is very sexy while it's in a low, almost hoarse whisper in the spoken parts. He should do that more often in Rush songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Lately I've been noticing his singing of the word 'hand' - I dunno, I just like the way sings it! Let's see, what is 'hand' in... Earthshine... The Big Money... Witch Hunt... Secret Touch... Hmm, wonder what else there is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobodysHeroine Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I recently found this epic video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzDZRnc8oLE Holy crap. There is no one like Geddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On TheRoad To Adventure Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I absolutely love Geddy's voice in Red Barchetta where he over-enunicates: At the one lane bridge, I leave the giant STRANDED at the river SIDE, race back to the farm to dream with my uncle at the FIRE SIDE. I also love his speaking voice when he introduces the song on "Exit Stage Left" "This is a song about a car - the Red Barchetta." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hastoloverush Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Well I still get really high when he sings on Sweet Miracles and breaks into the interlude...he is supposedly singing "salvation" but I can't hear it. If I am not in love with that, then I am more in love with that thing he does with his lips...kinda like when they say you purse your lips...don't know how to describe it but that movement or motion of that sweet mouth of his caused me to FALL IN LOVE. Morphed from fan to fanatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humanoid Escapee Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 "she limps across the floor and closes the bedroom door' (losing it) - I have to turn it up, stop singing along and press the headphones against my ears... ah, bliss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philidel Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hmmm... in many 70s lines, he sounds sooo cute that make me wanna hug him! Like these: Rivendell: the whole song. Especially that "escape the world" part, it sounds like an elf singing... aawwnn. In The End - the acoustic part. Reeeeeally cute! Panacea in The Fountain of Lamneth. I love when he sings that softly, it really gets me. The "Discovery" part of 2112, too. Listen to that "gently like rain". I love to hear his tongue on "gently", and... he sings it so gently Tears is one of those I just can't sing along, it's almost a sin. You have to hear him doing it. And, ooh, it's so sad and beautiful and great and... The chorus in The Twilight Zone. It sends a shiver down my spine. Skipping a few years... oh, wait, there's Xanadu. Another big one. Natural Science... the Tide Pools part. Damn, he's great! I overplay this one every time I listen to Permanent Waves. Losing It is one of the best pieces of melancholy a guy has ever sung. Thanks God it was Geddy! The chorus in Between The Wheels too. And that "handle with kid gloves..." on (duh) Kid Gloves. So cute. Okay, let's shorten it. I guess I posted enogh, but there's so many more "cuteness"... So I'll finish with Double Agent. Its spoken part - so sexy. The first time I heard it was like "WOW, is this Geddy himself?" So that's it, it seems I another Geddy addicted... what can I do, it's not our fault if he is so great! Hope you enjoy my little list. PS: I'm new here, feeling at home!
