The Analog Grownup Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I went into this thread thinking about the "you can do a lot in a lifetime" part of Marathon, but now I get goosebumps just by reading your answers. I think every Rush song has a goosebumps moments ;) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I went into this thread thinking about the "you can do a lot in a lifetime" part of Marathon, but now I get goosebumps just by reading your answers. I think every Rush song has a goosebumps moments ;) Analog, you're right. After I posted in this thread yesterday, I watched a DVD concert and thought the same - I get the chills during every song at different moments - sometimes it's the lyrics - sometimes the music. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 The intro to Natural Science gets me EVERY time! (in fact, I just heard the Different Stages version on my iPod while at the gym) That one is my favorite. The beginning of 2112The beginning of LaVilla from Exit...Stage leftThe drum intro to By-Tor on ATWAS. There's more...but these are the ones that REALLY get me going!

mandydog Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 "Invisible To telescopic eyeInfinity The star that would not die" "It ought to be second natureAt least, that's what I feelNow I lay me down in DreamlandI know perfect's not for realI thought we might get closerBut I'm ready to make a deal" "And he stares out the kitchen doorWhere the sun will rise no more..." "I learned your love for life,I feel the way that you wouldI feel your presenceI remember I feel the way you wouldThis just can't be understood..." When the guitar kicks in after the quiet woods intro on "Xanadu" (cranked up as loud as humanly possible) And the words "All right! Would you please welcome home RUSH!" Probably hundreds of others including most of what everyone else has shared. Man, I love Rush!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 If I had to name only one, the guitar "solo" (or whatever you call these brief, hypnotic Alex guitar parts) between III. DIONYSUS: BRINGER OF LOVE and IV. ARMAGEDDON: THE BATTLE OF HEART AND MIND, right before Geddy sings "The Universe divided as the Heart and Mind collided..." has always been my favorite Rush moment since I first heard it. Others: the beginning of VI. Soliloquy (the melancholy guitar and the opening lines "The sleep is still in my eyesThe dream is still in my head"); nearly all of Xanadu; the instrumental portions of Circumstances and Trees, and the middle Alex-centric part of La Villa Strangiato; the opening of TSoR; the "wheels within wheels" part of Natural Science (the first time it appears, esp the extended one from Different Stages); nearly all of Red Barchetta and Limelight's guitar solo. I'm still learning their later stuff but I like a lot of moments from Vapor Trails and I love the guitar work on S&A's A Larger Bowl. Recalled two more runner ups: Lakeside Park and In The End from All the World's A Stage. As a Zep-obsessed 6th grader, these were cosmic bombshells. The haunting, echo-ey auditorium effects transfigured those songs. Of course the studio versions are great as well, esp In the End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Too many songs/parts to list but I give it a try: Here Again - Al's soloChemistry - one, two, three...YYZ - ES...L version, right after the drum soloRed Barchetta - wind in my hair...The Spirit Of Radio - invisible airwaves...Countdown - keyboard partThe Garden - guitar soloXanadu - IntroTom Sawyer - the world is... (yes, still, after more than 2112 times listening to the song)La Villa Strangiato - once again Big Al's soloBroon's Bane - The TreesBetween The Wheels - IntroResist - you can surrender... One of my favourite live moments was on the T4E tour, right after The Temples..., when I realized they're doing the whole thing! :ebert: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theanalogmiddleagedman Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 SO many listed here. I have goosebumps just reading this thread! Sensory overload! :) Great point. It is amazing to read everyone's excitement. I just thought of another one last night as I was listening to Dreamline. The end of Alex's so right into We Are Young does it to me, too.
