Phantom Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) One of the most interesting things about this song for me is that though I find so many Rush songs emotionally moving, I find this one as moving, or more moving, than any of them..... largely because it's a " less is more " approach. I'm listening to 3 of the most incredibly gifted musicians, each of whom is among the most accomplished at his instruments, yet on this song, their musicianship takes a back seat and makes room for the melody and strength of the song itself. That takes guts. It's so pure, so raw, and so gut wrenching beautiful that I can honestly say that I've never been moved by any song, by anyone, in the same way that I've been moved by the Garden.

Rush! Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yeah this song has quickly become my #1 favorite tune on CA. They just went all-out on it, delivered the whole package, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Too bad this isn't the 70's or 80's and the age of the rock single. If it were I actually think Rush would have had maybe a top 10 hit with The Garden. I think all people would connect with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of a ton of songs I like more than this, but thats my opinion. Those vocals in the middle breakdown section kill me, they should have just put some effects on his voice or something to mask how much its degraded and maybe I would feel better about this song than I currently do. Like the effect in the middle of Jacobs Ladder, anything to clean his voice up would have been fine with me. try flushing your ears, good chance they are plugged with wax. Apparently this guy has no idea what a good singing voice is. THIS sounds like good singing to you? Jesus. Actually, as I listened to this a few times I began to think this may be the best "singing" Geddy has ever done! He has been a great vocalist for decades. He has really tried to become a better singer for the last 15 years or so. With this performance on The Garden, he has succeeded. I agree.... to my ( untrained ) ear, he sounds incredible.... off topic: This may be some good singing from Ged on The Garden, but let's be real. He is not a great singer. He has good pitch and control, but he really doesn't have a typical vocalist voice. I don't mind his voice, but he wouldn't get too far on those singing shows. This being said, the rock world has many vocalists who simply aren't great singers. His voice is part of the definition of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXXB0BXXX Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 This is the only song that clicked with me instantly. Man, what a gorgeous song. I just don't know how a band can be that creative and fresh after 20 albums. Call me crazy, but this is the best album closer since Natural Science.
