Definitely NOT one of their best songs, but I think it's underrated - it's a decent song.

 

I agree!

 

Last time I listened to this song was years and years ago and all the sound was only coming out of one speaker.. But the rest of the album was fine so I thought it was recorder that way!! Then I just listened to it on YouTube now and it sounds fine! Boy do I feel stupid lol

 

It's a good song even without Neil. Geddy actually sings in this one..

:LOL: Good Stuff!

It always did it for me after a long night of :smoke: :hail:

Many rough mornings woke up with my late 70's pioneer oversized head phones wrapped around my head and pillow turntable Fly By Night still spinning. Last song remembered before i passed out... Rivendell :P

Rivendale is the Insomniac National Anthem.

 

:zzz:

How? Insomniacs have trouble going to sleep, and would be more suited to an anthem that represents their nocturnal restlessness

Anyone remember Necromancer's amusing rendition of Rivendell? Of course, that behemoth had to go the extra yard and dress up as a hobbit while singing it

 

oooooo *is very interested* is this on youtube?

My favorite version of Rivendell is this acoustic cover:

Wow now that's an awesome cover. :)

This makes the song so much better.

WHo is this person?

 

I think she is from South America- there is a link to her YouTUbe page.

 

almost afraid to admit it but.. he cover is actually.... dare I say it... BETTER than the album version.....

It works...interesting how an old song like that can get new life breathed into it within a differnt genre!

 

 

I think it would be cool to see this get some buzz, then have people freak when they find out it's an obscure Rush tune!

How beautiful was that! Lovely.

 

This may sound strange, but I'd love to hear this done by Paul McCartney. :)

 

Edited to add, this cover should have been playing over The Hobbit's credits.

They also fell asleep during the mixing

 

I was really hoping there was going to actually be something along the lines of explaining the recording of the song, rather than an amusing story of falling asleep during the mixing.
