Distro Kids... I'm 63 years young. As a fan of Rush since 1976, You could probably understand why I didn't like the direction my favorite band was headed for. It took me a while to warm up to the heavily synthesized direction they were going to, But their musicianship and creativity won me over. Rush Till I Die... #The Garden At My Funeral
So happy to see a Black woman enjoy Rush. I "discovered" Rush my 7th grade year in 1979. As a Black boy who love comic books and fantasy, their music hit me like a ton of bricks. The last great gift my first wife gave me was gallery tickets for me and our older two kids to their farewell tour. She passed in 2022. I played all of Geddy Lee's paets on the bass. They mean a lot to me. Thanks for this.
I've found that Neil seemed to write lyrics that related to so many things I was feeling at the time their albums came out. Example: My best friend was living in Los Angeles and told me he was moving back to our small hometown in central NY, I responded with "And start to dream of somewhere to relax their restless flight, somewhere out of a memory of lighted streets on quiet nights." from this song. Neil's books are great reads if you're interested.
I am a new Rush fan thanks to this song, which I just discovered a few months ago! As a shy, lonely child, I relate to the lyrics even today. I was only 5 years old when this song came out, so I don't remember it from then, but I love the 80's-style sounds. (Rush's "keyboard era" was maligned by some fans of their 70s work, but I have discovered that I love all of their eras). Another recommendation would be to react to the live version of their song 'Mission; from Birmingham, 1988.
This song can elicit different emotions depending on the listeners mood. It’s an intense energetic song for the most part and can be great while on a road trip, but it can also bring back not-so-good memoirs of growing up. Either way it’s one of my favorite songs by Rush and can be therapeutic either way.
This song came out when I was in high school, and the lyrics really hit home for me. Another powerful performance from this era that you may like is Red Sector A from the Grace Under Pressure Tour, whose lyrics were based on the experiences of Geddy's parents as Holocaust survivors. Cheers from Toronto! 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐
Good work you Honi, thankyou for the reaction and enjoy more Rush as a lot of songs of theirs is a commentary on some aspects of life or society. Cheers.
Me too. there was about 10 of us that went to Catholic school on a voucher because we were poor, so we were the misfits and outcasts because our clothes came from Kmart and Ames. It was that way until I quit in the 10th grade and never looked back. Rush was a big part of my life at that time and it was nice to now someone else felt like we did and went through the same BS.
Neal Peart - Greatest drummer ever!!!!!

And you remind me of my oldest child, lol.
Every Rush "era" was totally unique...and every single one was fantastic.

I found very much the same. Great band.
I'm a fan since the 70s and I've loved all the eras, welcome to the RUSH family!

Another great song off the same Signals album is The Analog Kid. I flip flop on wich of the two I like better. 😊
I always love that The Analog Kid has to go through Chemistry to become the Digital Man 😂
🏆🏆🏆🏆
All the guys in Rush lived in the suburbs and all ofcfelt likecthey didn't belong.
Be cruel or be cast out. Wow. How true is that.
Thanks for sharing my highschool life.
