IChoseFreeWill Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Does anyone else like this song? It has become my favorite from Test for Echo. I do not see why so many people complain about it. It is hilarious. It is fun. There are many way worse songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scars Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I wouldn't exactly say I *love* it, but I do like it and I rarely skip it when it comes on. I do enjoy Geddy's vocal melodies during the verses (though the chorus is another story ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 One of my favourites from this album! A lot of people dont like this because of the lyrics. I dont care, I have read worse lyrics and the song rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ak2112 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 One of the few songs I really like from T4E. Never understood why so many on here dont like it. The first line is classic : In a dogs life, a year is really more like seven. And all too soon, a canine will be chasing cars in doggie heaven". Hilarious.

rushgoober Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Sometimes Rush has lyrics that are borderline and I can forgive them or not let them faze me, but not when they're this bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 This album would be fantastic if they followed my idea of the 40 minute (give or take) album length. Test For Echo Driven Half The World Time and Motion Totem Resist Limbo Carve Away The Stone If they could find a way to use that riff from Virtuality...maybe somewhere in Limbo? That would be the way I would like this album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Enemy Without Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 It's funny, because Geddy cusses, but its also kind of... interesting. I prefer Resist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pags Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Not the greatest song on T4E - there are many that are so much better. But I like the song a lot. What turned me around to it was Neil's A Work In Progress drum video. He spends time on each T4E song, and the portion on Dog Years was great. It totally made me enjoy the song more. The funny part is, in the middle of all those silly lyrics is probably one of his greatest written lines, "I'd rather be a tortoise from Galapagos, or a span of geological time." Awesome line.

Lerxster Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 QUOTE (Pags @ May 1 2011, 09:08 AM) The funny part is, in the middle of all those silly lyrics is probably one of his greatest written lines, "I'd rather be a tortoise from Galapagos, or a span of geological time." Awesome line. I always liked the "tortoise from Galapagos" part of that line, but the "a span of geological time" just goes too far for me. I suppose it does fit or support the lyrical theme, but I always felt that I just couldn't relate to "a span of geological time" on any level. Just can't get past the HUH?? factor of that line. But it's a really good tune that I have enjoyed since the first time I heard it, and I appreciate what Neil was going for with the lyrics and find them pretty humorous and clever. And the music is great, of course. It rocks. Like.. a span of geological time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerxster Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 QUOTE (Pags @ May 1 2011, 11:28 AM)I actually love the span of geological time part. Imagine living that long? http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii282/Lerxster/ELROND-1.jpg "Yes.. yes I can." QUOTE A much better option than living like in dog years. I love that comparison. It's brilliant. Especially to us aging folks. That's cool. You're the first person I've talked to about getting that line. But that could be a mightly long time, a span of geological time.
