Segue Myles Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 One of the best Rush songs in my opinion, but I see even massive fans of Counterparts disregard this beautiful piece with predictable and gleeful derision. So why does this song stick out like a sore thumb, or even fade into the background like a vulnerable, bullied little girl? Come on guys! Give it a chance! Or simply explain why you love, like, loathe or hate this song... (Sorry Lorraine...I want to hear peoples comments on this gem). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) The song is decent but I think it gets overshadowed by the rest of the album. All the other songs on CP are better. Edited July 17, 2014 by J2112YYZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Hope Spaghetti doesn't see this thread..... :outtahere: I am not worried. Spaghetti has a problem letting everyone know what he really thinks about something. He is always hedging and mincing his words. Can never really quite articulate what he thinks. You know?

len(songs) Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Meh, too slow-paced and sleepy, with not much instrumentally to offer, and the lyrics don't help much.

LedRush Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 "At the speed of loveNothing changes fasterThan the speed of loveMy heart goes out to you" It's painful even without the bad melodies and boring music. As I've said before, it the worst song on Rush's worst album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I think the first time I heard speed of love, I thought it might be Grover Washington Jr., or something. I didn't realize it was a Rush song. I thought somebody at the record company had made a terrible mistake and mixed up two different artists' song lists, and this Hall and Oates tune accidentally got inserted into the middle of a Rush album. I couldn't figure it out for the longest time. Then I realized, oh my gosh, that is Geddy singing and I suppose there's something about that guitar that sounds like it could be Alex. So then I had a really hard think, and decided, well, it's Rush, so I guess I better like it. I mean, I am a Rush fan, so I better give it some respect. So I can't explain how, when I listen to that album, my hand sort of "slips" and hits the "next" button; I mean, I don't even think it's a conscious thing. You know how some people sort of mysteriously black out sometimes and don't remember doing things. I think that's what happens to me when the song starts. I think I might be sort of programmed to accidentally hit the next button, but I don't realize I'm doing it. That's the only explanation I can offer, because it really is an awesome song. I love it. I really love it. I'm trying really hard to love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
