    As a Canadian speaking for the country we're very proud of the fact that Rush is the greatest band to come out of Canada. As for Neil Peart in particular (the drummer) - he has the respect of being known as one of the top 5 drummers in the world. Literally. Yep. Canadians are very proud to call Rush one of ours. RIP Neil Peart.

  • @jvondd
    @jvondd Před 9 měsíci

    Everyone is talking about the music, but I heard you ask about the lyrics.
    Don't get me wrong; it's Rush. The instrumentation is always the most impressive aspect of all of their songs, but the lyrics to this one are also pretty interesting.
    That having been said, it might need a bit of context.
    If you don't know, Tom Sawyer is the titular character from a book by Mark Twain. He's a rebellious, head-in-the-clouds kid who lives in a town in Missouri during the 1840s and has a lot of little adventures while learning more about the adult world along the way. There's a lot more to the story than that, but the important thing is to understand what kind of character Tom Sawyer is.
    The lyrics are actually a collaboration between Neil Peart (drummer) and a friend of his. His friend wrote this poem about a person who's sort of like a Tom Sawyer for modern times, and Neil thought it was interesting. He decided to put his own spin on it by making the song less about being an idealistic youth and more about reconciling that sense of free spiritedness with the pragmatism of being an adult.
    Come to think of it, a lot of Rush's songs have literary references, so they kind of expect the audience to have a certain cultural familiarity to understand what the songs are about. Fortunately, if we didn't know what's being referenced in the song, the instruments help us understand the emotions behind those ideas.

Other songs are Limelight, Subdivisions, 2112, Closer To The Heart, YYZ, Free Will, New World Man and maybe the best rock song ever recorded The Spirit Of Radio...also Geddy Lee, vocals, also played keyboards and bass, at the same time via a special foot pedal, Alex Lifeson is a highly underrated guitarist and like I said...3 guys.

The guy's been voted best rock drummer of all time in every poll I've seen. Congrats on the new crib, sweetie!

    Nice! Hello from Brasil! From Rush I also recommend the live videos of "Xanadu", "Red Barchetta" and "Frewill" from the show "Exit: Stage Left". And also the official video for "Subdivisions"! Oh, and of course the live video of "YYZ" from the "Rush in Rio" concert!

    Arguably the best 3 man band ever ! And Canadian 🇨🇦 as well !
    And NO arguement, Neil Peart is the Best drummer the World has ever seen !
    Look for Neil Pearts drum solo when they were in Berlin ! 6:08

      Nah. Band of Gypsys was better, but I can still appreciate the sentiment.
