Always been one of my favourites Rush songs. Great song for all of them to get a chance to show off their abilities and create an almost orchestral instrumental part. But the lyrics are the thing that really got me, and also explains why the song ended so abruptly.
Thanks for doing my request. I did request the official music video with them playing the song. These fan produced videos don't really give the proper vision of the song. Sorry, I am not that tech savvy to send a link.
If you watch their official music video you will see Neil using wooden blocks and other percussion instruments.
That sound was a synth that you asked about. Also, the guys are quite young in the video as well.
This song is off Hemispheres and the album has both the brains and the gentleman in the suit on the cover of the album.
Neil said of song, what if trees behaved like people.
Cheers
sorry for getting the wrong version, that's why i like to get sent the links, I will try to revisit this track again later. Thanks for watching.
@@MJLimey.ReviewsAll No worries. Once you the correct video you will get all your answers. This song was written when they were in their mid 20's.
The whole Hemispheres album is a masterpiece.
Cheers
Go one step further on the great album for the most underrated RUSH track with the best guitar transition lick ever.... Circumstances 😊
Ive added that one to my to do list, Thank you for watching!
The brains and the suit are from the album cover. This is from the Hemispheres album. The title song is about humans being divided into parts dominated by love or by logic. This was represented by brain hemispheres, one with a man in a business suit and hat (representing logic) and one with a naked man dancing (representing love). Yes, this is not the video to watch for The Trees. The 'live' (on a soundstage, no audience) video is the one to watch.
I will check it soon thanks for watching!
Rush was a tight unit.
This is one you should look up on Lyrics meanings, online. The Trees are allegory for human political activity. The Maples stand in for the "lower classes", in society, who feel oppressed and disadvantaged by the rich and powerful -- played by the Oaks -- and they are banding together to speak out against the oppression.
LOL, love the dragon avatar, 3:15 I think that's basically a bamboo xylophone, I forget what it's called, but it's used a lot in traditional Japanese music...
Thanks for liking my dragon! this one is called Bob, i am still waiting on suggestions for names for the purple dragon and the 2nd green one. ? Ok thanks I will look it up, some people have said they are wood blocks, but if it is Japanese it must have a proper name! thank you for watching!
@@MJLimey.ReviewsAll Yeah, it may be wood blocks, though I'm pretty sure that I've also heard that sound in conjunction with taika drums (Y'know, those Japanese guys with headbands and what look like diaper thongs jumping around and beating those white skin drums...) it's a total performance, just look up "Taika drums", and I love the mundane naming of fantastical creatures...so a dragon named Bob or Steve really hits...perhaps I'll suggest "Cormano"...just because the SNES game Sunset Riders features 4 playable characters: Bob, Billy, Steve, and Cormano...lol...
Those are temple blocks, no flute, synth
Yes, it’s about trees, but it’s a metaphor that Neil has carefully left open for interpretation. Given his interest in the writings of Ayn Rand, I’ve always assumed he wrote it during a period that reflected her philosophies that if you control those that are achieving great things, you will end up with all of humanity cut short to make everyone equal, and no one will be extraordinary, that is the central theme of “Atlas Shrugged’. Neil eventually evolved his personal thinking beyond these simple frameworks, as a lot of people consider them somewhat oversimplified in today’s terms.
Thanks for that Michael. and thank you again for watching!
Wood blocks or temple blocks. Neil’s used them extensively in his early drum solos as well😉
ok thanks for that info. do you know what type of wood they are made from?
@@MJLimey.ReviewsAll no, but if that interests you, tangentially, Neil’s last kit for the Clockwork Angels tour was made from a tree that was submerged in an Eastern European bog for over a thousand? Years! His collaboration with the drum makers was captured in a documentary, that I think is called “masters of Resonance”. th-cam.com/video/gzt-PaR0XUw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=R9P_mlru9nsevKWh
Only one thing wrong with The Trees.......... it's too short
Agree. 🤘🤘
Was always a fan favorite at the live shows.
🤔 We listened to the story told in the song & figured it out. 🤷🏿♀️ There was no Internet or Computers or AI creating nonsense videos to confuse us. 😔 Sorry you had to hear the song that way 😏 and I can see why you were confused. 🥰🐰
Thank you for your honesty and comments, Ijola! and thanks as always for watching!
No Flautist in RUSH just synths & temple blocks.
Did you pay attention to the lyrics? The last line of the song is "now the trees ARE ALL KEPT EQUAL BY HATCHET, AXE & SAW. It's an allegory about the generational battles that happen in human society: the oaks are the older generation, the maples are the younger generation, the maples are complaining about the oaks, get it.
Its a fan made video!
aah thank you that helps, and thank you for watching!
You missed seeing them perform it.
wasn't born then Lol.
@@MJLimey.ReviewsAll plenty of videos of them peŕforming this live, if you do Rush you should always look for one where you can see them play, one of the few bands that can reproduce their studio sound on stage.
Can you react to Chas & Dave - “Ossie’s Dream' Top Of The Pops please. Great song and would love to see your reaction 👍
I have added that to my to do list James, thanks for watching!
Simply wood blocks.
Technically the name is “temple blocks”
@@generoberts9151 Temple blocks are a type of so-called wood blocks, aka woodblocks.
@@mdu2112 I think I said that
thanks for that, being tone deaf I can't always sort out the sounds of individual bits of kit. thanks for watching!
cowbell
Oh right, thank you ! and thanks for watching!
When you listen closely to the flute sound you can notice a sweeping tone between some of the notes.
This is using a controller on the keyboard.
Video killed the radio star.
bear in mind, I am tone deaf, but i will try. LOL thank you for watching!
Do you understand the message?
with help from the comment above, I think so, not used to this intellectual style of song writing, LOL. thanks for watching!
Recently released video related to the Hemisphere album art. The "live" video you saw was the original release video. th-cam.com/video/JnC88xBPkkc/w-d-xo.html
added your link to my to do list thanks for watching!
NO VIDS. Music only, so as not to be distracted. Really
I will try Jeffrey, but most of these tracks come from you tube, so video tends to be presented with the music. the days when you sit and listen via speakers or headphones are almost long gone. Thank you for watching!
