spock Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Curious: Even a offhand mention of an interesting song from the greatest band in the galaxy evokes strong ad hominem attacks from the native species. Clearly these people are not ready for warp drive nor should we invite them to join the United Solar Federation of Planets [Editor's note: notice Spock's clever interweaving of the governing body of Star Trek (circa 2161) and that of 2112 (circa 2112) - (kids, don't try this at home!); the non sequitur being necessary to maintain a de minimis association between this nerdfest and TRF...] Beaming up now...

SlyJeff Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jul 3 2012, 10:46 PM) Great uplifting lyrics with a seriously positive message combined with a damn catchy rock song. Thumbs up! I don't think "uplifting" is the right word. It's a song with a sad strength to it about letting go. This song speaks to me and something I just went through- so I really count this as the strongest song on the album lyrically (I am completely biased, though). It doesn't make me happy (or uplifted) when I hear it, but it does make me nod and remember that I choose to be strong. I just wish I liked the music better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope it is left off the set list. I will give it more listens but I consider it my least favorite off the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldRush Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 My two girls ask me to play this song at home and in the car all the time ... This is the best reason to love this song ... This song makes me happy, full of energy ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearingsky Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 The day I brought the CA disc home, before I had even had a chance to give a listen. I broke open the case and perused the liner notes/lyrics. I knew my 15yr old son had previewed CA earlier and I asked him [flippantly] what his favorite song from the new release was. His instant reply of WTW made me quickly read the preface/song lyric. I held back tears as my human half reflected on being bullied as well as being a bully.

HowItIs Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 QUOTE (spock @ Jul 3 2012, 06:21 PM) 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. It's also great advice!

Pound of Obscure Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Perhaps I should post some guitar solos for you guys to enjoy. Alex breaking from his wall of sound and kind of playing something different for a couple bars is far from a guitar solo. At best, its a mutual jam. Its ok. Its the only part of the song that I like. But its hardly a guitar solo. Edited July 28, 2012 by Pound of Obscure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Oh it's a solo, and one of Alex's best on the album. Anyway Wish them Well is probably the most important Song in the Context of the Concept. Here is where Owen Hardy choose to turn the other cheek, forgive those who have wronged him and move on with his life. Its a much deeper song than the music portrays.
