Has Geddy's delivery of a lyric moved you?

[The Cat 3]

The future disappears into memory,

With only a moment between.

Forever dwells in that moment;

Hope is what remains to be seen.

Forever dwells in that moment;

Hope is what remains to be seen.

[Lorraine]

Forever dwells in that moment;

Hope is what remains to be seen.

Forever dwells in that moment;

Hope is what remains to be seen.

 

i have a few minutes. Going to go listen to it again off of CALive.

Just think of what my life could be

In a world like I have seen

I don't think I can carry on

This cold and empty life

Ohhhhh Nooooooooooooo...

[The Cat 3]

We can walk our road together

If our goals are all the same

We can run alone and free

If we pursue a different aim

Let the truth of love be lighted

Let the love of truth shine clear

Sensibility

Armed with sense and liberty

With the heart and mind united in a single

Perfect

Sphere

[Lucas]

I know this is the other side of the coin, but the way Geddy delivers:

 

Brooding in the tower

Watching o'er his land

Holding every creature

Helplessly they stand

Gaze into his prisms

Knowing they are near

Lead them to the dungeons

Spectres numb with fear

They bow defeated

 

is very moving - in fact, I feel so moved now listening to it I want to fire up the 455 and scream down the road, snow be damned !

[CMWriter]

His final delivery of "one moment's high / and glory rolls on by" always sends chills up my spine. Marathon is such an obvious song for a run but man, does it work.

[ytserush]

Not often, But it happens. Especially live. Predominately 1980 to now rather than pre-1980.

[Day of Light]

I really enjoy Geddy's vibrato on pretty much every live version of The Weapon. The more dramatic the better.

Did someone mention The Weapon? :wub:

I know you like that song a lot. Me too, for many of the same reasons, I think. Signals is my favorite album, and The Weapon is my favorite track on that album. It just faded in and, like, boom, I was paying attention. I rarely pay attention to music for the entire duration of the song, especially if it's my first listen, but I did it for this one. It just resonated.

[Lucas]

Just for the sheer emotion he puts into No One At The Bridge, it is very inspiring - esp

 

.. scream out desperatioooonnnn, but, no one cares to hear

[Lucas]

.. and I just realized that my three examples are all from Caress Of Steel

I particularly love how he sings the first section of Witch Hunt.

The night is black without a moon

The air is thick and still

The vigilantes gather on

The lonely, torchlit hill

Features distorted, in the flickering light

Faces are twisted and grotesque

Silent and stern in the sweltering night

Mob moves like demons possessed

Quiet in conscience, calm in their right

Confident their ways are best

[hcm]

yeah, pretty much the reason I became a Rush fan...and continue to be one, too many to mention really, but honestly I don't know that it would have the same impact without the music underlying it all, it pretty much is a package deal for me, it would not be the same with another vocalist, or drummer or guitarist...you get the picture

[Day of Light]

Electricity? Biology?

Seems to me it's Chemistry

 

and also

 

Oh but how

Do they make contact with one another?

 

Chemistry is a beautiful song, f**k da h8ers

[Chronos]

"Weighs like iron teee-eeee-eeeeaaarrrrs"

[tas7]

Like his delivery on Limelight

[RUSHFREAK101]

Sometimes when I hear the opening lyrics to closer to the heart

 

And the men who hold high places

Must be the ones

to

start

to

mould a new reality

closer

to

the

heart

 

 

I just love the way he delivers that opening verse

[The Cat 3]

This one always gets me...

 

You can surrender

Without a prayer

But never really pray

Pray without surrender

 

[Day of Light]

I tried to believe, but you know it's no good

 

That vibrato at the words "believe" and "good" sounds like his voice is quavering. Very emotionally provocative for me.

"Make each sensation a little bit stronger"...this line sung at the end of Time Stand Still. You can really feel the emotion in his voice, as if he can't emphasize these lyrics enough.

[MusicHead]

If the Analog Kid doesn't move you, I question if you have a heart.

[Lorraine]

i was thinking of this thread earlier this morning because I wanted to add another line he sings, but now I can't remember which one it was. :( It will come back to me. :codger:

[Day of Light]

I love Geddy's voice on Manhattan Project. Approaches a dark topic with romanticism and joy.

 

Flying out of the shockwave

On that August day

[Brucey]

All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary of a miracle too good to be true
