The Trees

The bass in the intro.

The Drum and Bass bit right before Alex's solo

..And the very ending of the song "The trees are all kept equal, by hatchet... axe... and saw!" a truly epic conclusion to a great song lyrically and instrumentally, my favorite song from hemispheres hands down.

The bass chords in the pre-chorus of Chain Lightning (Respond... Vibrate...) . They sound just so packed with energy and fury almost... and then it goes smooth...

 

The entire pre-chorus and chorus of Available Light. It gives me chills every time, it's indescribable. And the little riff Alex does right after his solo...

 

The drums in Mystic Rhythms. Need I say more?

 

THE FREAKING SOLO IN EMOTION DETECTOR. In my mind, his absolute best. That dive bomb gets me every time...

 

Mind you, I'm just scratching the surface here.

I especially like THIS part of Necromancer:

 

Brooding in the tower

Watching o'er his land

Holding ev'ry creature

Helplessly they stand

Gaze into his prisms

Knowing they are near

Lead them to the dungeons

Spectres numb with fear

They bow defeated

 

AWESOME. Just AWESOME.

That's what's a bit of a letdown with T4E and S&A.... they're too slow...

In your opinion of course...

I happen to think the swaggering prowl of slow-hard-rocking songs (depending on which) sounds more confident and determined and thus heavier.

 

2-3 hits with a sledgehammer > 20 hits with a tack hammer.

 

IMHO.

Freewill -- The part where Alex does this harmonic thing at the end of the solo, where everything comes back together -- epic

 

AFTK -- The opening electric chords after the gentle intro

 

TSOR -- The intro. Magnificent.

 

The chorus of Beneath, Between, Behind

 

Hemispheres -- "Let the truth of love be lighted, let the love of truth shine clear..."

 

I'm sure there are a billion others.

The Analog Kid: "You move me, you move me...."

"And when I leave I don't know what I'm hoping to find, and when I leave I don't know what I'm leaving behind."

 

Subdivisions: "Drawn like moths we drift into the city. The timeless old attraction, cruising for the action. Lit up like a firefly just to feel the living night."

 

Leave That Thing Alone: Anything to do with Geddy's bass.

 

Natural Science: "Wheels within wheels in a spiral array...."

 

Grand Designs: The end of the song with all of Geddy's "ooooohs". You know what I'm talking about. That is amazing.

 

Red Sector A: "I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed..."

 

Cygnus X-1: I really like everything before Geddy starts singing....well I mean I like everything after Geddy starts singing too, but I dunno the intro to that song... I just love it.

 

The Pass: "Somewhat set a bad example, made surrender seem alright. The act of a noble warrior who lost the will to fight"

 

Presto: "What a fool I used to be!"

 

 

I could go on and on.

Natural Science- when the tempo picks up(III)

2112- This passage:

"I can't wait to share this new wonder

The people will all see it's light

Let them all make their own music

The Priests praise my name on this night"

 

 

Analog kid and The Camera Eye both tell such a vivid story, I love them both.

 

This is like asking which of your children is your favorite!! Not fair. tongue.gif

The way Geddy sings during the verses of Faithless:

Everything during those parts is awesome.

 

"And all the preaching voices -

Empty vessels ring so loud

As they move among the crowd

Fools and thieves are well disguised

In the temple and market place"

 

"And all the shouting voices

Try to throw me off my course

Some by sermon, some by force

Fools and thieves are dangerous

In the temple and market place"
