Blue J Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) "Then all at once, the chaos ceasedA stillness fell- a sudden peaceThe warriors felt my silent cryAnd stayed their struggle, mystified! Apollo was astonished; Dionysus thought me madBut they heard my story further,And they wondered, and were sad"... My favorite passage of music in the entire Rush canon- from that first lyric above to the end of the song.

Segue Myles Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Ok, i am going to play Hemispheres now and see how i feel about it. Bear in mind my statements regarding this song refer to my opinion on it from about july time. I havent heard it for months! Should we be prepared for you to "do a Segue", and place it back in your top three Rush albums? :) Ok: 1. Hemispheres2. A Farewell To Kings3. Hold Your Fire Flip me I have a lot of posts to go back and edit...lol!Hey!! Not ahead of AFTK's....  Actually...you are right. AFTK is its equal. I wish the pair had been released as a double album!http://38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqxbqaGYLK1qii6tmo1_250.gifHow awesome would that have been!!!! Actually, glad they didnt. None of us would be worthy. We are lucky enough they shared even one song off each album, nevermind two full lengths. Hemispheres is a damn sexy album. If it were Jennifer Lawrence i had just been playing it wpuld have been pregnant ten times over by now.They may do this in the future when they are short on cash... :) Maybe the key to AFTK is a double album format. maybe just back to back isn't enough. I need a linked double album, Mick The double album could be called: Closer To The Trees Or Circumxanadu. Or...i am proud of this...La Villa Madrigal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 I only listen to my music with headphones, but there is one part of Hemispheres that I love what is done with Geddy's voice. It's at 10:26 and he is singing the word "hemispheres" - "Their spirits were divided into blinded...hemispheres." That part? I think it is. Just heard it on my stereo and the effect is not so pronounced so I might have missed it.You have to listen to it with headphones to get the full effect.

Blue J Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Just finished listening to it and I am in awe of that fact that they were so young when they wrote it. Talent always impresses me (having none of my own, I am always appreciative of it in others), but these three young men had an abundance of it. No wonder they had such confidence in themselves back then. Yes...Geddy and Alex were still 24 and Neil was 25 when they recorded it. Add that to the body of work they had already amassed, up to that point, and...it's just astonishing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hemispheres is the brainwashing album. I'm telling you.No - posting something three times in a row, that's a (feeble) attempt at brainwashing! (Yeah, I know, computer glitch, etc. and so forth.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
