‘Permanent Waves’, Rush’s seventh studio album, was originally released in January 1980, and its forward-thinking music signaled a new direction for the Canadian band as it entered a new decade. The six songs encompassing the album encapsulated the breadth of Rush’s formidable progressive chops meshed with its knack for creating radio-friendly arrangements, all elements that were embedded within the grooves of their previous album, 1978’s widely acclaimed Hemispheres. ‘Permanent Waves’ also signified Rush’s first of many recording sessions at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec, which was at one point nicknamed the trio’s own personal Abbey Road recording studio.

Doctor: You've got 5 min to live
ME: Play Natural Science
Doctor: But it's over 9 minutes long
GOD: it's okay I'll wait.
Well done -- well goddamned done! Rush rules!! (I added an extra ! because you and Rush deserve it)
The more I listen to this song, the more I think it's a masterpiece. It started when I read about this song in a Limelight comment section or something, and the person said it was one of their favourite songs ever, so I decided to listen to it, and I initially thought "eh". BIIIG MISTAKE. It initially came up like half a year later on autoplay while I was studying and it eventually ended up on my playlist, and here we are.
Amen...Brother
No 2112 to stay alive even longer?
"And so it goes." - Kurt Vonnegut
"Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea"
"The most endangered species, the honest man, will still survive annihilation, forming a world state of integrity, sensitive, open and strong."
-- Neil Peart. Rip.
Such a great thinker he was. ❤
Exceptional human being
The last time we saw Rush [June 12, 2015], as they began this song, I yelled, "I love this one!" Geddy leaned over the edge of the stage and yelled down to my sister and me in the second row, "Me too!"
I miss them so much.
Amazing! So lucky... I never got to see them live...
Wish I had seen them live.
Kudos for the proper pronoun usage; it's refreshing to see.
Jesus Christ! Really!? That’s amazing.
Saw them a couple times for Snakes and Arrows and then a couple for Time Machine and their shows were absolutely amazing. Wish more people could have seen them before Neil went through Cygnus X-1 for the last time.
Great song that is terribly underrated.
I’ve loved Rush for most of my life. This song basically encapsulates why.
The most endangered species, the honest man. .... Neil was too wise for all of us.
@Albert Mojica,Jr. That sounds good, but i think it was 2112 were they rebelled from the record label contract.
Natural Science was a b side, never intended to be a top 40 song like Spirit of Radio, but i think its one of there best.
This song totally hypnotized me as a teenager.
Me too. And this is my favorite song.
We understand
Yup, I remember spending two weeks learning the bass line to this song when I first heard it. Incredible, genius song writing
Alex Lifeson says that for him this was the most difficult of all the Rush songs to play. Fabulous stuff!
Just read that myself and came back to listen!!!
I saw the interview, I didn’t really get the feeling he meant it that way. He was asked what was the hardest song to record, he said all of them laughingly. Then he went on to say natural science was very difficult.
I think the boys all agreed la villa was the most difficult to record because they had to do it in 3 separate recordings and cut it together.
Neil Peart drumming once again is Masterclass 👏
La Villa is awesome. Still listen to it regularly! @@jeremycleary2002
That’s funny to me as a drummer who’s learned YYZ. The only thing that’s difficult about it is the time changes and signature changes. The technical skill isn’t that demanding for this one lol
The pinnacle of progressive rock!
The pinnacle of all music
I'm listening to a Question of Balance, by The Moody Blues. I'll decide
It was on this day (October 20) 43 years ago that I received a copy of Permanent Waves as a birthday gift from my sister. We were at my grandmother's place celebrating, and I couldn't resist putting the album on her stereo and listening to it using headphones. When I first heard 'Natural Science', I was absolutely, utterly blown away by its sheer power and majesty. One of my best birthday memories ever.
I learned so much from this one song as a musician, arranger, composer, and producer than any other rock song! Proud to be a RUSH fan!! My lifeblood spills over!
and they make commentary without beating you over the head with it, gotta admire anyone who can do that.
is that from soliloquy?
@@diegoflores3831 yeah
'Art as expression, not as market campaigns' (Peart) I agree
I always thought it was "Not that market complains" because the producers and executives could still take a cut on producing the vision of the artists.
This is one of Rush's best songs
Wow, I haven't listened to this song in probably 20 years and had forgotten how epic it really was. Poor Alex is so underrated.
Alex isn't underrated; he stands among the best of all-time guitarists, and I'm sure his contemporaries would agree.✌
Alex has SOUL.
hes not really underated....but hes with one of the most influantial drummer and bassist....he did get forget a bit@@SouthernStorm_61
Alex is a genius. The 80s guitar work is incredibly sophisticated.
The most endangered species, the honest man
Will still survive annihilation
Forming a world, a state of integrity
Sensitive, open, and strong
First time I heard this I was stationed in Germany, driving on the Autobahn at 140 mph. Talk about a Rush!
As Dali said that the hallucinogenic toreador was “all Dali” and Led Zeppelin said that Kashmir was “all Zeppelin”, for me Natural Science is “all.Rush”. Genius.....
I get it. Well put.
Nobody else can play this live. One for the record books.
This really is one of the finest pieces of music ever written.
Love you coach
Mr misogynist
I agree coach
Coach! Looking forward to the Sunday webinar. You better do a stream of yourself listening to all of the Rush albums like you promised!
@@roben8610 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mr. Neil Ellewood Peart Rest In Peace 🥁 😥
What a Álbum What a Sound What a Power-Trio Canadian
If you love this you have impeccable taste.
Also basically a life long Rush fan and this is my favorite song of all time.
This and La Villa Strangiato may be the band's magnum opus..in mother nature's crucible, she concocted the trio of three uber geniuses at the top of their game..the chance of these 3 meeting and having neil at the helm of the ship with lyrics that are beyond meaningful and resonating, is nothing short of astronomical..like one in a gazillion..like a gift from the gods rush was given to us all. I'm not a religious person, but their music touches me at my core..beyond explanation..they are like air for sustenance..a necessity in life...hard to explain...songs that describe such esoteric subjects with ease, interpersonal dynamics..neil was a great observer of life and saw things in a very unique way and his verbiage and vernacular in the lyrics is beyond superb...beyond sad what happened to him..my heart weeps...but he would not want that..we have such a huge legacy to enjoy time and time again...bravo for all they have done.
do not forget Jacobs Ladder.
Awesome comment. Well done.
Top five from RUSH
1. Xanadu
2. Cygnus x-1 book 2
3. La Villa Stangiato

"Time after time we lose sight of the way our causes can't see their effects."
“The most endangered species the honest man!”
@@jonathano6946 Alex's favorite song to play live. Kinda' surprised me. I don't know why.
Me too, honestly. It is guitar laden, though.
This is about how people can forget about nature because of technology, and how we must value this blue planet❕
There are some odd 7/8, 6/8 and 3/4 time signatures in “Natural Science” (1980) along with the normal 4/4. Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson stated : “I can pick a song that was a hard song to play and feel that was what was challenging and developed a particular style and difficult songwriting. ‘Natural Science’ from those days is one of those songs. Hard to play, the parts were really interesting to develop and were challenging, and the songwriting itself was a challenging experience.”
Producer Terry Brown and assistant Kim Bickerdike used oars in lake water to make the splashing sounds at the beginning of the piece. ❤️🌎💚
Impressive and accurate comment....
@@be5586 Thank you very much for this kind feedback, B E. Warmest regards to you.
@@be5586 Hi
This bands gonna be big one day
lolz
HA
🤣
These type of comments are a little aged at this point. Don’t ya think?
@@blackened_curtains8332 You're saying this to Darwin???
Rush - great musicianship, song structures, lyrics, Alex Lifeson always on the cutting edge of technology availability, using Marshalls, Fenders, Jc120's, Hughes & Kettner, Washing machines, echoplex, every rack effect ever created, Gibsons & his collection of 400 guitars, being in total control of the equipped & technology. There will never be anything like them ever again. Hats off to Rush!
The washing machines gave Alex an amazing tone!
Okay but I'say that all 3 musicians / artists were cutting edge; just leading the way in all areas!!
The original art work its unbeatable
One of the best almost 10 minute songs I have ever heard... possibly the best this is a progressive rock masterpiece
You get caught up in it so much that it goes past like a dang heartbeat. 10 minutes, over and done. Onto the next. Or replay from the beginning. I've done that with most of their songs, "holy SHIT what was that, I have to hear it again so I'll just listen to the whole song!"

The opening lines of this song resonate so clearly, and along with many RUSH fans we may relate to this. As a child I was brought by my bearded scientist father to a special place for camping stays in a place in Western Washington state called "Tongue Point" on the north shore of the Olympic Peninsula. It was/is a paradise for tide pool experience, observing the tides going in and out, and perfectly describes what I think this song is about. I marveled at it as a child and have returned several times with several friends to experience those little pools of impressively diverse contained aquatic worlds.
"When the ebbing tide retreats
Along the rocky shoreline
It leaves a trail of tidal pools
In a short-lived galaxy
Each microcosmic planet
A complete society
A simple kind mirror
To reflect upon our own
All the busy little creatures
Chasing out their destinies
Living in their pools
They soon forget about the sea"
... Wonderful!
Incredible and moving lyrics, aren't they?
It's Rush. This is what they do, make the best music in the world.
Thank U Rush! For becoming a unbelievable fantastic band.... &Rest in Peace Neil
Greatest talent ever ,hard to believe there's only 3 of them. 😊😊😊
Best bands always had 3.
This came in my notifications last night and I saved it for in the morning to have with my coffee.
Great way to start the day!
One of the best songs ever made. that space voice, those lyrics, the progressive energy is unreal, that solo, the melody dang nothing comes close but Rush themselve hahaha
at that time, this one came from the future
Best RUSH track ever IMHO.
RUSH FOREVER! LONG LIVE RUSH!
Hope my air-drumming, honors the drum God. #RIPNeilPeart
I'll bet that 85% of Rush fans are air drumming this one.
Being a big Rush fan I don't know how I overlooked this song to add to my playlists. Shame on me. I guess it's number one on the new playlist as my other two were full LOL. R i p Neil Peart.
Me too
No shame on you. You found it. You’re always searching. That’s everything about Rush. Always search. Always grow, always keep wanting more.
3:41 - 3:56
The greatest to ever do it. PERIOD.
This song makes me happy. It covers a lot.
Ever since I heard this song many years ago, it’s always been my favorite. It is absolutely flawless.
Beautiful, truly great and wondrous.
For me this song was the apex.
The best Rush song IMO. Had this on Record and it skipped. Heard it on the radio when they played the whole album and it skipped in the same place. I remember hearing their effects over and over. Lol
Their musicianship really shines on this track. An epic jam, no doubt.
this was the golden era of music
60s to early 2000s to maybe 2008 2009 was good shit
@@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03 For rock. I'd go back to the 50s for jazz and blues.
@@markhunter8554 ok
Each Microcosm planet a complete society. Miss this visionairial songwriter.
I love this album, so much heart and thought put in to it.
Signals got me. Now all of it gets me!
Natural and wonderful!
Best Rush song ever.
Six people see art as market campaigns
the other 27 lost sight of the way their causes see their effects.
Three years ago, I bought a Rush patch in Niagara Falls/Canada side. A week ago I finally had a company sew it onto a hat. I just picked it up yesterday. Patch is exceptional and I wondered how long it would take before someone complimented me on it. In fact, I wondered if someone would say something to me on the first day. Sure enough four hours later I was walking through Safeway and a young dude said to this old dude, me, “Great hat, man”
7/8 time makes me happy.
Really impressed with this 40th anniversary remaster. Alex's guitars sound absolutely beautiful and you can hear Ged's bass much better where it got lost in the mix before.
I love my wife, I love my family, I love my dogs, and I love "Rush". My neighbors know I love your music also. After making a nuisance of myself my neighbors started coming over to jam. I thought I was the best guitarist in the hood. I was wrong. I'm no slouch, but this one son of a friend of my wife is incredible.
My front porch is 11 by 40 with a 12 foot ceiling-all wood and glass. It sounds great. Music is fun. We jam twice a month at least. When we really go at it we use your style, Alex.
First, RIP Neil…second, this song ends the first album that introduced me to Rush. I went back to the record store that same week and bought everything they had produced to that point. The leads in this song just blow me away. The creativity and production of this album, song, group…I cannot say anything more than so many have said before me. Except thank you Geddy, Alex and Neil!
Greatest Band In The History Of The Universe!!!
Absolutely
One of their best songs if we as fans can even comprehend what a best Rush song is
One of the greatest songs of all time!
One of the all time epic rock songs. How can one band have so many all time great songs?
First Rush album I bought as a new fan (Moving Pictures turned me on to Rush). My favorite album ever since and Natural Science is the essence of Rush in one song 🙂
Rush's most complex song
Never get enough of Natural Science,..ever !!
I can't unsee that the guy looks just like David Lee Roth 😳 😂
When progressive rock peaked
It was when Hemispheres came out
It's yet to peak.
It peaked in 1974 with Relayer.
@@nista67 ...and that will perpetually be so.
@@nista67 that's the point of prog rock, and its amazing
I won an air drum contest off of this track 40 years ago.
PQP que banda mano. Eu escuto Rush desde 92 e não conhecia esta música. Muito foda. Nunca mais vai existir outra igual.
I vividly remember sitting in front of my stereo when I was a lad and hammering away on bass to this track. One of the most fun Rush songs to play, in my opinion.
Best progressive song in history.
I've checked out the comments & it's true. We RUSH fans are like NASCAR fans. We are brand loyal & not going anywhere.
Hello, I'm British, so I don't understand the NASCAR reference, but I agree that globaly, we Rush fans are loyal.
@@leethomas255It was a terrible analogy… NASCAR is ridiculously lowbrow , but I get what he’s saying.
This is one of 3 songs to give me the chills, the other two are rush as well, truly an amazing band
This is taking me a couple of months practice air drumming this song and I still can't get it right.
Rush é o meu sentido de vida.
Alex Lifeson said this was one of the most difficult songs of theirs to play. Who knew?!?!
This is a workout, from a bassist standpoint. It'll test your endurance, if you play it properly.
POETS OF BRILLIANCE
dream theater could only dream
The artwork fits the song perfectly.
"Wheel within wheels in a spiral array. A pattern so grand and complex" I love when that part hits!
Alex took his triple shot in the remaster sessions lol
Piece of art.....
My favorite song. From any band, of all time. Rush forever. 🤘
as an 8 year old , with my 16 piece drum set made from every pillow in the house , i sat stunned , overjoyed , confused , mesmerized, and unsure of why i felt this way every time this played on the gigantic stereo/cabinet furniture thingy (remember those?)……now , 42 years later , older , wiser , smarter ……….I realize ……i feel the exact same way
Beautifully said. The same as it is with me, these sound "waves" have stayed with us and have now become Permanent Waves.
My 17 y.o. coming back!!!
These three guys are amazing beyond amazing,so much inspiration..... God bless Neal peart so so sad 😭
Everytime I hear this song and for that matter the whole album, I picture myself at the Le Studio during the recording. What a masterpiece of work 👌😎. I told my wife that I want my ashes spread on the lake at Le studio and play this album there for the service 👍🙏. And @125+dB with good quality equipment 👍😎
Favourite rush song
Like a fine wine this song gets better with age.
An absolute smash hit Rush song. In my top 10 favorites.
Que canção sensacional da banda!!!! Curto de mais....🎸🎼🎼🎸🎹🎹🎸🎧
I don't think there's any band that can top this. I'm sure the lesser ones have tried.
Check out YYNOT they do a really nice job.
You ever heard of Dream Theater?
@@flak4438 Yeah? Are you saying that DT can top Rush?! 😂
@@flak4438 Sure, they are one of the lesser bands
Alex is so unique man
The song is amazing, and the lyrics are mind-blowing.
Obviously Charles Darwin’s favorite song
This song, and Camera Eye. Oh, and everything else too....
That 7/8 riff tho
This 8 track was in my headset every night at 14 years old. 😁
Alex is so unique man
They all were
Alex Lifeson . . . you mean Alex Awesome? (Yeah I’m cheesy and cringe when it comes to the boys, I don’t give af.)
Someone in the comments section of a different song compared his style to Gordon Lightfoot, a Great Lakes sort of sound but more rock and less folk. I can honestly kinda hear it. Just so happens that these two masterclass guitarists also grew up in overall the same area (as far as North America goes, North York to Orillia is nothing. ~72 miles and almost a completely straight shot North-Northwest once you hit the 400, they may as well have been neighbors.) Wonder if any kind of local, Ontarian music tradition may have influenced them both?
One of my favorites 🎸
1980 I was 13 year's old when my dearest friend turned me on to Rush and this was the album that started it for me! Rush 4life💯💯💯💯 cheers from Pasadena CA 🎸🎸🥁🎤
One of the best metaphors for society.
