Cygnals Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I do like the song overall and agreed that the guitar solo is good. One of those underrated songs for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Love it!! The guitar and keyboards go well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamelight Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I've been listening to it a lot lately. Brilliant song. I think it's one of the best ending songs ever. And yes, the guitar solo.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rummut71 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I love this song... I just wish the production was not so thin and bottom end lacking. Everyone likes more bottom! Still a good track though, and I would love to see it played live sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 This was one of those songs that I did not like at first listen but has grown on me a lot over the years and I now think it's one of their best songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NobodysHeroine Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 "Available Light" is easily one of my favorites from the album. Presto is such an underrated album. I love Presto; it deserves more love than it has. Geddy's voice is incredible here. So full of emotion. I adore expressive singers. And I adore Geddy...but we already know that. I'm open to all of Rush's eras, including the era during the 80s that incorporated keyboards much more dominantly into the music. Any Rush is good Rush. And good is an understatement.

I like the way Presto sounds. I think it was a great choice for the album and it worked, especially on Available Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I think that this song is Geddy's best vocally. If anyone says he has a bad voice or can't sing, I play Available Light. Great song from a very good album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Great song IMHO. Love the lyrics, the vocals, the guitar.... just beautiful and blend to make a really striking song. I love all of Presto but I do see what is meant by it being "thin", especially the bass drum. Still, it's okay with this material and this period in Rush's career. Very underrated album and song.

Jomboni Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I'd love to see this live but I don't think it'll happen... Geddy hits some reallllly high notes considering how old he was when they recorded this, and there's no way he could even come close today.

Queen of Megadon Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Love it. Always have. Presto was my top album for the longest time (til Counterparts nudged it out of first) and I. simply. love. Available Light. It's a great song. I love it. Did I mention that?

dakota2112 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I had this song played at the end of my wife's funeral back in 2007. It's their most emotionally gripping song for me, always was, and moreso after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
