Alchemical Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Am I just a pansy? Honestly if the boys decide to retire, I don't think Rush could have ended their career on a higher note. What a way to go out...just a beautiful, beautiful song. Edited June 16, 2012 by Alchemical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I don't think you are pansy. Just a Nancy Boy like me. This song gets me too but I have shed a tear during "The Wreckers." This band is getting better with age and wisdom. They are better than an old bottle of red wine. I remember when Wendy and I flew to see Rush twice at Red Rocks in Colorado that on their day off the boys went into Boulder and had a wonderful dinner together. Geddy, Alex and Neil had a 400 USD bottle of wine to celebrate Neil's anniversary in the band. I know of this story because that very same day Wendy and I were in Boulder. Great town. Great college. Great place to film a Seventies TV series. Signed, "Mork And Mindy" I can't wait for the next Rush album. I've written threads on here in the past about it. There is no way in Hell this band is done. I will be anyone of you who reads this post that Neil has already written enough lyrics for a sequel!! "Clockwork Angels II: The Devil's Watch" Get it? Pun intended!!! Hey not a bad album title by a TROLL! Go see "TROLL HUNTER" Rushhead Haters!! Great movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Bridge at 3:45 is incredibly power in its restraint. Just killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sark Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Can't wait to hear this live! (should they play it) Lighters and cell phones above your heads for that one. I'm assuming that's Geddy on the piano? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Geddy, but his pal Jason Sniderman (who also played a bit of keyboards on the Presto album. If I had to take an extremely wild guess, maybe the piano on Anagram?) Alex is actually the one who came up with the part, funnily enough. But on the album proper they got Jason to perform it.

Bangster of Goats Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Alex says he tears up when he listens to The Garden. Clearly, he needs to quit Rush and become Cher's touring guitarist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

templejanitor Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I have been following RUSH since 2112. I have ridden the ups and the downs, the happiness and the tragedy, the good albums and the maybe-not-as-good albums. I cried with Neil in 1998 when I, too, lost a child. I lost my sense for music. Then I jumped for joy when they decided to go on. VT was a comeback album for me too. I think CA may be the end. I can live with that. It's OK to cry when you know friends are crying too.

Aeolian Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The wider of bandwidth of emotions you're able and willing to express is a sign of intelligence not "weakness". What's weak, is people who have that emotion welling up and have to cover it by expressing anger instead. The song is moving as any song could be. It's an expression of one of the greatest bands of all time, with a storied career, and an adventure filled life giving you the most raw and honest interpretation of life from that vantage point. I'm personally worried if you don't tear up. That one song representation the culmination of an entire life, career, and wisdom learned. You won't find much more moving than that in life.

templejanitor Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 What is a man card anyway? I guess if I have I ask, I really don't need to know anyway. Sounds like a license to be a loser. Geeez, I'm in trouble now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriGuy Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 It saddens me that many people will never hear this song because it's, you know, "Rush." And the way music is these days... ugh. Maybe some people like crap because it's all they're ever fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The entire thing is lovely, but especially so when the piano break begins til that last cello note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
