HeadlongMark Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) And if you read the mini story that goes along with the lyrics, The Wreckers is an extremely heart breaking song. That chorus gives me goosebumps. To add, I can't wait to see this in concert. I'm going to be a blubbering mess between this and The Garden.

cygnify Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 awesome lyrics and perhaps the most radio-friendly chorus Rush has ever written. Well done modern rock song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dscrapre Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I don't blame you. It's glorious. It's running through my head right now too. All I know is that sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably the first "new" Rush release where I am EXTREMELY excited to hear the new material played live...Clockwork Angels, The Anarchist, Carnies, The Wreckers, Headlong Flight, and The Garden ESPECIALLY Oh man...September 9th can't get here fast enough!!!

EmotionDetector Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 It's outstanding. I've said it on a few threads...but it gives me goosebumps. Right from the first listen...I was humming/singing it immediately. Just an awesome hook...and I love the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gedneil Alpeart Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I LOVE the chorus, but who also love the middle interlude when the stringss build up into this epic, cinematic sound than crashes back into the chorus again a pitch up? That middle section is EPIC!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
