I was already a Rush fan when 'Subdivisions' came out. I straight up cried when I heard it. I had never had such an emotional response to a song before. I had never felt so SEEN and understood. "Conform/be cool or be cast out". I didn't have many friends back then, but we ALL related to this so much.
This song is from Rush’s 1982 album Signals. You definitely should have watched the video for this one. It pretty much explains the whole song. Please keep the Rush coming. Happy New Year guys!
Watch the music video. It'll help clarify the lyrics, Smokey is really onto them. I miss seeing this live. It was a concert staple, so they played it on every tour during the later part of their career. The opening synth hummed and vibrated, and you could feel it in your bones. Good times🥰. Have a happy, safe, and blessed New Year, fellas!
This song, for Rush fans, is the "YES! You're speaking directly to me!!!" song. To anyone who ever felt uncool, stuck in a boring cookie cutter world, who felt that being a nerd who loved this odd band and their unique music- this was the song. The lyrics are indeed about being a youth caught in the machine of 'normal'- and hating it. To me, this song resonates so much. The line 'Conform or be cast out' perfectly sums it up. And to that sentiment I say, to anyone who feels out of place in a 'normal' world- keep being you, embrace being 'cast out', and just be who you are. Because there are millions of you out there, you'll find your people, and as Rush proved in their 40+ year career, the Uncool become COOL :-)
Neil Peart was not only the greatest drummer who ever lived, he was also the greatest lyricist ever.
Hey Guys, when you finish with Rush, check out another 3-man Canadian rock band Triumph!
It is a song about growing up in the suburbs. Sometimes these neighborhoods are called Subdivisions. Also it is a nod to the free thinkers and and how people are excluded and divided. Smoke Dog nailed it!
Neil is the greatest drum composer in history.
Simply, Neil was writing about growing up in a typical subdivision life, but in schools, malls, basement bars, etc, unless you were one of the "cool kids", you were an outcast. All the Rush band members related to this. As always, RIP to Neil (Peeer-tuh) THAT is how it's pronounced.....period. Oh, and you should watch (or react to) the documentary "Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage". It will explain a lot about the band members, their families, etc.
Once upon a time being an outcast, and outlier, a nerd, would be a very difficult life in high schools/society when you were young. Getting bullied, beat up, laughed at everyday. Nowadays, society has embraced the nerdiness of media and people openly embrace it. Fortunately the bullying of nerds has dramatically decreased, though it still will happen. This song was the anthem for the nerds that needed some light in the darkness and who better to give them that than Rush, the biggest nerds on the planet who also happen to be one of the most famous bands on the planet.
Smokey was right on the money. It is about living in the suburbs and how your life is planned out for you. All the guys in Rush never felt like they fit in. On his book tour Geddy talked about how he would get beat up in school because he was Jewish but ended up becoming friends with Steve Shutt who became a famous hockey player in the NHL. Steve was one of the cool guys in school because he was a hockey player. Not only did he save Geddy from being bothered anymore but he also introduced him to a fellow named Alex Lifeson.
I was a 15-year-old suburban kid when this came out, and I felt like the lyrics were written specifically with me in mind. This was the first concert I ever saw, and I saw them an additional 14 times through the years. RIP Neil.
This was a change for Rush in 1982... they opted to use more synthesizers and electronic beats from the album 'Signals'... Fans were disappointed that the band was heading away from 70's rock into pop music, but they still appealed to a loyal audience... They continued to experiment w/ electronic music until 1987.
Grew up in a suburb located about 60 miles west of Toronto. I was 14 when this song came out in 1982. It took one listen for me to become a lifelong fan.
Released in '82 when I was 17, this song is TIMELESS. I grew up about 5-minutes north of the Bronx and my high-school had 3000 kids - so this really spoke to me! Everything about this was ME in my formative years - from "cruising for the action" to "the backs of cars," from "the far unlit unknown" to "ticking traps." I'm now 59-years old, and it brings right back to my home city of New Rochelle every single time I hear it - because that's the power of a timeless song!
The last time I saw Rush was doing the Clockwork Angels tour in Cleveland. They opened with this song, and I swear at the beginning , the synth went straight through my body. I never felt anything like it.
Having reacted to every single Rush song, I can say that this is my favorite era of Rush! They got so experimental with their synth sound. Always looking forward to more Rush reactions from you guys! Keep up the good work and thank you! Happy New Year!
This song is a great example of the noticeable shift their music took going away from the sound of the 70s and embracing what was possible with keys and synth in the 80s. As others have mentioned, watching the OMV will provide clarity to the meaning of the song. After Rush finished the era of their epic prog songs featuring elements of fantasy and science fiction, Neil began to write extensively on the human condition. Subdivisions doesn’t really describe a plight or conflict, but serves more as an observation of the restlessness felt by young people growing up in the homogenous suburbs of cookie cutter neighborhoods, as well as the “subdivisions” of the social hierarchy and the feeling of loneliness or searching for an identity for those who feel like misfits or otherwise on the outside of the cool kids club. Great song and always a staple of their live shows.
I have seen Rush 49 times since the 'Signals' Tour in 1982 when I was 12. I have NEVER tired of this song. From the lyrical and drumming composition to the addition of keyboards as a melodic hook. there have been songs they've done tour after tour that I had grown tired of, but never this one. Growing up in the '80's, this song represented so much to those of us who were insecure, geeky or just plain.....Rush fans. One of Neil's finest moments, both "lyrically and drumistically. "
OMG!!! 🤦
