Segue Myles Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Great song? 2112, Subdivisions, Cygnus X-1, Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta and Clockwork Angels are great songs... But Spindrift? A great Rush song? Ok... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucsteve667 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) I think it is, I love it even more live. Alex's guitar work is amazing to me. Vocally and lyrically it has a desperation to it I appreciate a lot I guess. Im pretty sure thats what they were reaching for I figure and I think they captured it well.

Grover Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 For me, the topic/lyrics so not require the level of urgency or angst that is in the vocals, and the lyrics do not form a cohesive track. Put the intro on a track with more excitement and it would work, and build a song around the 'closer to you' and it could work. The two tracks that I always skip on S&A are Spindrift and Armor and Sword, Take away those and I think the album is quite good, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucsteve667 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) is it you dont like heavier darker stuff? The "closer to you" part is what i find weak in the song. Armor and Sword has some great heavy riffs in it. Edited January 14, 2014 by ucsteve667 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armor and Sword has some great heavy riffs in it. I love both of those songs, but I vastly prefer the live version of Armour And Sword. Particularly the break :drool: :haz: :rush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anima Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 For me Spindrift just doesn't hang together. It could work based round the "closer to you" bit or it could work as a heavier, darker song without that part. Instead of that the song seems to pull you in different directions at the same time. Considering the theme, that may well be what they were trying to do (very clever), but it doesn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddysMullet Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Caravan is what Spindrift wanted to be...... :finbar: Or maybe Caravan wanted to be what Spindrift is! ;) That never occurred to me before, but now thinking about it, I can see parallels between these two songs. There are the slightly discordant verses and more melodic choruses, and an overall feel to each song of restlessness and a need for change. It's an interesting comparison. I'm not sure which song I like more. Spindrift has more sentimental importance to me, but Caravan is part of Clockwork Angels! I love them both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Caravan is one of the greatest Rush songs. Spindrift doesn't even come within a infinity- galaxy radius. Sorry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I dont get it, Spindrift is a awesome song, I love it! You guys that skip it, should give it one more try, and you will love it! Trust me! I like it more then Caravan I think, even thou they are two kind of songs. Edited January 22, 2014 by Zumbi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caravan's a better song though :finbar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucsteve667 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Caravan is to me a much heavier and busier song of course, but Spindrift has a mood, an feeling ominous foreboding that I get from it I really like. I think thats what they were going for, and I believe the got it just right. For me at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Spindrift is one of those later-period Rush songs where it sounds like Geddy was handed the lyrics for the first time after the music was recorded and tried to invent a melody as he went along :| 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushBoingo Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 For me it's good, just a bit too noisy and distorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanP Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Anyone else think that some parts of Spindrift (e.g around 40 seconds in) sound a fair amount like some parts of Time and Motion (about twenty seconds in)? Anyway, seems to me that there are pieces of Spindrift that could be great but as a whole it is not a standout song. I like the "a little closer to you" part best (which is also the part that the instrumental portion in the middle plays over). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snyder80 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I actually like the song. S&A is a horribly underrated album and I don't feel it's ever been appreciated the way it should. Very complex material; musically and lyrically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
