H. P. L. Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 In the last weeks, whenever I feel the need for a boost of self-confidence, I find myself going back to HF more and more. Up until now, my favourite Rush-penned confidence-booster was Far Cry. I'm not completely sold on HF, I find it too repetitive and those "some nights were daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark" squeals... well, they don't seem to work for me, but there's no doubt that the power and the kick-a@@ value of the song are off the scale.

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Confidence builder as in you have a low self-image and this song helps? If it works great, but I don't see the relation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Makes me air bass like no song in Rush's catalogue since Leave That Thing Alone from Counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it works great, but I don't see the relation Not necessarily, no. Just when you need that extra-drive to make it to 7 pm after a hard day at work, or you need a kickstart song to start running... just something like that. If you meant relation to the lyrics, not that kind of relation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarkus406 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Sounds like it would be more of a confidence killer, since it would cause more speeding tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYM86 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'm not really looking for a confidence boost but it's a great treadmill song, as well as a very good song in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 When I start stressing over how much I've spent on tix, I imagine singing the lines "I don't regret it, I'll never forget it" at a show, and living every word. The song is an affirmation of how I feel about my own life in general, so it certainly helps keep me fired up, much as other favorites like Marathon, Middletown Dreams, The Enemy Within, Cut To The Chase, and We Hold On do.
