The Big Money Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 On Rush.com and on youtube they updated the site with an "official" Lyrics video to the song. Here it is:
Unobtrusive Companion Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Awesome! It seems Rush have now got an official YouTube page as well, good news.
Principled Man Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Now that video took a LOT of editing prowess..... EXCELLENT.
Merely Space Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Sweet video. And I think Godeater owes everyone $20 dollars on lyrics!
Strangiato Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Did they get some of the lyrics wrong? At the :58 second mark it sounds like Geddy sings 'This didn't always feel that way' and the TV says 'It didn't always feel that way' Edited April 19, 2012 by Strangiato
Lerxster Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Oh shit, I thought this was fan made. Was thinking that's damn pretty creative for being made in one day! haha
Rush-O-Matic Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 That's pretty cool. I notice they didn't show the lyrics during the Demonic Talking part.
Geddyleegenes Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 DAMN F-ING COOL!!! The editing throughout that video makes it look like all those Geddys, Alexs and Neils from through-out Rush's history are all really playing the song in concert. Love the "TV Credits" and "Movie Titles" print of the lyrics and all that. (That Zeppelin doesn't look steam-driven though!) All this and they're hitting Chicago on Sept. 15th, too. Not sure if we'll see them then or get ourselves back out to Vegas November 23rd. My Sweet Baby and I saw Rush at the MGM on our Wedding night, August 14th, 2010. I think I've got to try to get us back out there for the CA tour now too. WHAT A RUSH!!!
rushgoober Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 That was a million times better than the surreal for the sake of surreal ridiculous video for Far Cry. VERY cool, and the sound quality is so much better than the RS link - I'm digging this song more and more! Also, it's a HELL of a lot better than Caravan and BU2B!
Principled Man Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 This video should be nominated for some award, be it a Grammy or whatever. It's the slickest thing I've seen in many years......

It's the slickest thing I've seen in many years...... I don't know if it'll get nominated, but it's EXCELLENT as a promotional tool. I have heard these various criticisms over the years - some from fans, some from haters: - lyrics are "crowbarred in" - Geddy doesn't enunciate clearly - I can't understand him, the music is too busy - nerd rock / math rock / too much philosophy to follow Then there are Rush's strong points: - longevity - virtuoso musicianship The video manages to emphasize those positives with the concert footage and spin the negatives to the band's advantage with the lyrics right there on the screen. Kudos to the video maker for cleverly using the fonts / title style and for tying it all together with the Steampunk cabinet. Well done.
danielmclark Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Anyone else notice that the lights and gauges are in-time to the music? Well, more or less. It's not exact. The light in the upper left corner is the most obvious of them.
They Bow Defeated Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Very cool! In before trenken chimes in to say it's "crap" and he could do better in Windows Movie Maker.

drbirdsong Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 It is a very well made video. It's funny that the older vids are so cheesy to watch these days. Suddenly they have this. If they had put out something this good in the 1980s or even the 90s they might have won an MTV video award (for whatever that piece of crap is worth).
lerxt1990 Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) That's. VERY. Cool. Ooooooooh boy. Edited April 20, 2012 by lerxt1990
