madrushian Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 What other songs are you referiring too. I probrably like them too. One for me is Tai Shan and the last track on HYF. They are different and far from "RUSH" But I think especially Tai shan musically and lyircaly are wonderful. I never thought I would like the soun of a pan flute in a rush song.

DirkPrattLerxst Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I really like Wish them Well because it's more of a straightforward rock song. Superconductor on the other hand... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummerrobin Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I really like Wish Them Well and always have. Definitely some of the strongest lyrics on Clockwork Angels for me. Superconductor... I'm not so keen on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disk98 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I like them both. I won't by any means call either song extraordinary, but both Superconductor and Wish Them Well are good listens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummerrobin Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I like Superconductor. I don't love it. I like Wish Them Well, but the drums always bother me. Just go to the ride for once!!! Which he does at 0:25, 1:21, 2:24, 3:02 and 3:52. Are we talking the same song?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul2112 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Rgarding Wish them Well.....The groove when this line comes in the song "People who judge without a measure of mercy" is just amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graxxus Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I love them both, but I really love Superconductor. That song is awesome. I've always been a sucker for 7/4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gypsy muse Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) 1 of 4, (about superconductor)I'm a freak among freaks I guess. I love it. I went a looooong time not listening to any Rush & every so often, out of nowhere, I would catch myself singing just "superconductor...watch his every move" I never paid much attention to the words other than those, so for many years I had it in my mind it was about some sort of charismatic superhero guy. Like "oh, I bet he has electrical powers or something..." & I never watched videos either, so I never saw the video.

gypsy muse Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) 2 of 4 (about superconductor)Then, many years later (this year) I learned what it was really about (a song making fun of self-absorbed movie stars), & also seeing the video for the 1st time. I gotta tell ya, I was CRUSHED! The song I'd loved all those years was just a bunch of sarcasm?!?! It was the first time I felt let down by Rush. :( Edited October 30, 2015 by gypsy muse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsy muse Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 3 of 4 ( about superconductor ) Also, the video sucks, except for the black & white footage of aforementioned self-absorbed movie stars. (And Geddy, I don't like your hair like that either) Another side note, I never realized it was Alex singing the word "superconductor" over again & over again. I love his voice on that! He can sing, who knew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 2 of 3 (about superconductor) .... & also seeing the video for the 1st time. There are support groups and counselors for this very same issue It effected many RUSH fans, some traumatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsy muse Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) 4 of 4 ( about superconductor ) So, you may wonder, how can I still love it after all that? A great question. I pretend it's a happy song & try to ignore the sarcasm. I just focus on the purity & beauty of Geddy & Alex voices and... that strong & simple beat, that you can dance to. Superconductor...superconductor...:banana: (I'm still mad at Neil though, about the core meaning of the song. My superhero theme would have been much better & would of course require some lyric changes.) Edited October 30, 2015 by gypsy muse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsy muse Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I was always soso about Superconductor. I thought it was one of the weakest on Presto but I liked the lyrics, just not as a song. I used to think about Madonna when I heard it but then Neil seemed to appreciate Madonna in his later writings. When did Neil seem to appreciate Madonna in his later writings? Wait, don't tell me, it'll just contaminate another Rush song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
