I've always loved smart lyrics and most Rush songs have more than one "layer" - some universal truth - you know what I mean.

 

I think I love Wish Them Well because it takes me right back to Something for Nothing and Anthem. Simple ROCK with a straightforward point.

Great uplifting lyrics with a seriously positive message combined with a damn catchy rock song. Thumbs up! new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

I agree! Great song, and the first that stood out for me on CA!

 

I've been a bit confused about the dislike for WTW that's been bandied about on here by some people, but to each their own, I guess. I'm glad other people are speaking up about their love for this song!

 

And Geddy does sound good singing this - I particulary like in the line "People who judge without a measure of mercy" how Geddy sings 'mercy'. He sounds strong!

 

I admit, too, that I was confused about "even though you're going to hell" (Why am I going to hell? What have I done?!) until I realized it was "going through hell"! biggrin.gif

 

Gosh, I could say good things about this song all day! wub.gif

And, yes, I love WTW because it's logical to do so...

I've said it before here, this song will be a barn-burner live. this song IS an anthem (and I don't mean the "prior" anthem). the vocals are so soaring. fantastic!

I really like this song as well. It puts me in a good mood whenever I listen to it. new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

"You're a traitor from a race of traitors. Disloyal to the core. Rotten! Like the rest of your subhuman race. And you've got the GALL... to make love to that girl! Does she know what she's getting, Spock? A carcass full of memory banks who should be squatting on a mushroom? Instead of passing himself off as a man? You belong in the circus, Spock, not a starship. Right next to the dog face boy!"
