hughes&kettner Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Once in a while I get the urge to hear that song. I know even Ged has said it wasn't his favorite. But I simply LOVE Lerxt's tone and mood on that song, especially when he first comes in and the outro is goose-bumpy for me. I wouldn't take it over By-tor or Lavilla or anything like that, but I dig that tune and don't care what haters may think. :dweez: :rush: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummerrobin Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I really like it too, never understood the hate. Really nice melodic song I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Personally Find it to be one of the bands most beautifully produced and arranged ambient songs. Extra points for making an epic short and sweet.Just as everyone around here seems to act like Hemispheres is the be all and end all of life itself, it seems that to be taken seriously around here you also have to hate on this gentle little beauty.

Cyclonus X-1 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Nice song, better than La Villa Strangiato but not as good as Anagram (for Mongo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relayer2112 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I don't think it's a bad song. I love the guitar work in particular. It's common knowledge that the band (at least Geddy and Alex anyway) thinks it was a mistake to have recorded it with the lyrics that Neil came up with. It's hard to be objective about a song when you know that the band themselves have mixed feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to be objective about a song when you know that the band themselves have mixed feelings. I could come up with a double album of good songs that those fools have "mixed feelings" about.

madrushian Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I agree with all the positive reviews. the whole HYF albums is such a diverse album touch some mny different music styles and such a departure from the rush sound. It is a nice change of pace 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A work of art, and too easily overlooked by those who merely look at the surface. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 You won't find any love from me. Those last 2 songs keep HYF from perfect status for me. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irenicus Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Nice song, better than La Villa StrangiatoHahahaha good one, dude! Seriously though, I don't think it's garbage, but it would even be cheesy for a synth-pop band. They have some worse songs, but not many...

Digital Dad Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Ehhh. Its not a great song by any stretch. Is it nice? Yeah its nice. Its ok. It better rhan many many many songs but not much better than the worst Rush song. I would take it over Virtuality any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very close to how I feel about it, too. I do love Hemispheres as fervently as anyone- the most ridiculous degree of hyperbole is not enough. But I feel the same way about Hold Your Fire as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket ignites Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I love plenty of Rush songs that get slammed by the many...everybody digs different things. Tai Shan isn't a favorite, but it fits fine in the Hold Your Fire realm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
