Plays (last 30 days): 0
With a friendly voice
A companion, unobtrusive
Plays the song that’s so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood
Off on your way
Hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the Spirit ever lingers
Undemanding contact
In your happy solitude.
Invisible airwaves
Crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle
With the energy
Emotional feedback
On a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price –
Almost free…
All this machinery
Making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted
It’s really just a question
Of your honesty
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity
“For the words of the profits,
Are written on the studio wall,
Concert hall –
Echoes with the sounds…
Of salesmen.”
Fun fact, I have never ever met a female Rush fan...
I'm a girl who's obsessed with Rush and whose only tattoo is the Starman with Peart's signature above it ... so maybe you just haven't met that many women? ;D
this bloke as what is "singing"? does he only have 1/2 a testicle?
If reproductive organs are your focus, you are exploring the wrong part of the Internet.

Sorry to hear that. They exist.
this song i had a new appreciation for after reading the amazing lyrics. such a great song.

So you're telling us you don't know many women into music?
Fun fact, I have never ever met a female Rush fan...
True, you haven't met my wife

Fans of Rush here? Any fans of Neil Peart?
I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that many of you will love Porcupine Tree's latest album Closure/Continuation that came out over June and July in 2022.
Thank you for this comment. I only recently learned about Porcupine Tree from Radio Paradise and have been doing a crash course over the past year or so. When I first started listening to them in 2021, Wikipedia quoted Steven Wilson saying that Porcupine Tree was broken up forever. Then, all of a sudden, they announced they are releasing a new album and going on a tour. I am really enjoying Closure/Continuation - you are spot on that it appeals to those of us that are big Rush fans. I am also going to cruise up to LA and see them live at the Greek Theater at the end of September. I guess this is another big thank you to Bill and Rebecca for Radio Paradise.

My buddy Richard G (rest his soul, much too early departed) and I were 2nd Row for this show on this tour, AND IT KICKED ALL KINDS OF ASS! I'll never forget that before the show, The Who Who Are You was BLASTING -- the entire album -- over the sound system, and had us ALL FIRED UP!
Neil fucking loved Keith Moon
how about Brand X instead of Rush to represent prog rock?
I wouldn't really call Rush prog rock. But I'll check out Brand X.
I know there are a lot of Rush fans here… but I just have register myself as someone who think their catalog is shite. And that
Thanks brother. If it wasn't for this opinion Rush wouldn't be Rush.
my username is relevant!
Me too!!!

Can I rate this 11?

I found Rush through watching the mockumentary 'Trailer Park Boys'. It's good light hearted television if you haven't watched before. Alex Lifeson makes several appearances on various episodes and movies.
Alex...totally underrated rock guitar god.
1986. Rosemont Horizon, just outside of Chicago. Power Windows tour. Front row. Opened with this. High school kid in sheer heaven.
i was there with you, Deep Woods! loved the opening of every show with Spirit of Radio. i was just out of high school, but in sheer heaven as well. Bill, how about something from Hemispheres or Farewell to Kings?
I admire your restraint.

Geddy explains in a documentary that the band was so loud he had to sing in a higher voice just to be heard.

My wife cheated on me with a guy who loves Rush. I can't listen to them anymore without feeling pissed off. So, they're off my playlist.

Rush...
Been listening to RP for a couple of months now while working from home, I've never heard so much Rush prior to this stint with RP... I'm just not getting it though, what am I missing?
Patience and exposure. You'll get there...

An Interesting insight was they were about to be dropped from their label for poor sales and were given one more shot - rather than play it safe they would do what THEY wanted and hence 2112! Also didn't realize that Ann Rand was a big influence for that album; I say very cool!
The world NEEDS to know!

Never heard them here, apparently USA and Europe loved them. For a three piece they rank at the top. Musically and progressively they rank at the top.
