Good,bad,andrush Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Either because they're sad, moving, they remind you of something...whatever. For me, Bravado. I can't sing it without crying. I also get all emotional with The Pass. Which is a good thing, since my band is covering it, and I deliver a stunning vocal performance Okay, not really I wish I did... Anyway, what Rush songs are just completely moving to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdryan Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Time Stand Still made me pull over a few weeks ago and made me think of a friend i lost a few years back Losing it Nobodys Hero- again makes me think of old friends HYOF in general can catch me on certain days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 I might add that the DS version of Bravado is my favorite. The outro says so much to me, and I kind of like that. I feel like I'm the only person in the world who can relate to this song, and that version specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Bravado - The message is so uplifting and Ged's vocal just goes straight to the heart. Tai Shan - I completely understand this feeling of being so in touch with a place that it "sings" to you. Add the beautiful keys, midi-koto and vocals and I just lose it. High Water - This one gets me because I have such a connection to water. Whenever I went into the water in Hawai'i, this song would be in my head. In fact, I'm putting together a video of the underwater stuff, waterfalls, ocean and rain in Hawai'i using this song as the audio. I hear the wordless voices.... Time Stand Still - I simply can't listen to this beautiful, haunting song right now. I lost my Mother and a good friend in 2009 and this song just brings home how much I wish I could make the title happen. Afterimage - Same reason as above.

IChoseFreeWill Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 The Pass. It got me crying when I first saw the music video- ok, so I thought maybe it was the time period. But every time I hear it, my eyes get misty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3strukt Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I don't get how anyone can cry, actually "cry" over a song. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I just don't get it. Perhaps someone could explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Dudad Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Sorry, but no Rush songs have ever moved me to tears (well, maybe Rivendell, but that's a different matter entirely). The closest I've ever got to "misting up" with Rush was not song related at all, but was rather when I first saw Neil get behind his kit on the Vapor Trails tour, five years after I was certain they were done forever.

The Lost Xanadu Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Afterimage and (so appropriately) Tears. I don't full on cry with these but they're enough to make me show some emotion while listening to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwentyOneTwelve Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Time Stand Still gets me all nostalgic and reflective. Which is never a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvgeddy05 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Mission: because that song means so much to me. Resist (live/acoustic): it was a beautiful rendition and when I saw them do it acoustically live, I didn't know it was coming and caught me off guard. It was my first Rush show and I can only imagine my jaw was on the ground. Marathon: I took up running seriously 2 years ago and I can relate to this song in ways I never could before.

slappa_da_bass Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Well, no song makes me actually cry, whether that's good bad or indifferent. But there are three songs that make me really emotional and awestruck, and those are Mission, Marathon, and Different Strings. There may be others but those are definitely the three that stand out the most right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 The Pass makes me come close to tearing at times because of how I can relate to it. Tears almost made me tear up the first time I heard it, now it just makes my heart heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMWriter Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 In the Mood (those lyrics!! D| ) But in all seriousness... - Nobody's Hero :: Geddy sings the chorus on this one with so much passion, it just moves me. I mean holy cow. - The Pass :: I really like this song, both lyrically and musically, but the whole song is simultaneously uplifting (since it's almost like trying to convince the subject not to end his or her life) but at the same time pleading and very sad. Love the line "Don't turn your back / and slam the door on me..." - Losing It :: The part about the writer (Hemingway) hits me every. Single. Time. I guess it's a very personal thing, since I write (duuuuh) but I couldn't even imagine what that would feel like. Wanting to write, but having this never-ending block.. nightmares! - Mission :: These are usually happy tears. Because Geddy's voice never fails to astound me on this song. I love, love, love it, and I can't help but sing along at the beginning and at, "I wish I had that instinct / I wish I had that drive". - Afterimage :: I was okay with this one until I made the mistake of looking up the (A) music video and ( B ) what the song was actually about. Don't think an explanation is needed for this one..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NobodysHeroine Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 So many Rush songs move me to tears. That's a testament to their music's power, lyrically and musically. Nobody's Hero The Pass Tears Afterimage Red Sector A Resist (live acoustic) Bravado Witch Hunt Losing It The Larger Bowl Vapor Trail Ghost Rider Whoa. That's a lot of songs. God, I'm sensitive...

Xanadu93 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I've never cried at a Rush song - in fact, I've never really cried at any song - but I have shed a few tears at both "Time Stand Still" and "Mission" when I saw both songs live. "Bravado" and "Heresy" can also move me, depending on how I feel. More recently, when I listened to Vapor Trails and it kicked me in the face, the first three songs nearly choked me up.

sanzo Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 For me - Bravado any time I watch it on RiR, on the SnA tour the ending of mission, had me bring a tear to me eye,it was my fist concert too. I remember witch hunt on Asohs made me a bit teary once too, then somtimes I just cry with happyness knowing that I know about this band and the joy it has brought me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
