I saw a lot of reactions to this song and you were one of the ones who caught the essence and meaning of it the best. Over the time, Rush was being labeled as "nerd music", "too complex to understand", so people try too hard when in fact all of their songs are actually pretty straight forward. Neil used some uncommon words and phrase constructions, yes, but that's because he never underrated the people that would listen to the songs, never thought "people are too dumb to understand this, let me use a more simple vocabulary". He once said in an interview: "I'm writing, if I can understand it, anyone can".
Good job and glad you're passing the message to your daughter. This new generation is becoming absurdly attached to the "seem" over the "be".
Your daughter is fortunate to have such a caring and thoughtful father.
One really cool thing about Rush is, Geddy Lee (the lead vocalist) is a fanatic fan of baseball. You will often see him sitting in the front row behind home plate during televised games of the Toronto Blue Jays. Geddy has a baseball that has been signed by every modern day player with 3,000 hits or more. There is a Geddy Lee exhibit at the Negro Leagues Baseball Hall of Fame in Kansas City. Getty donated over 500 baseballs signed by Negro League players to them. There's a video on youtube of Geddy approaching Albert Pujols and asking him to sign his legendary baseball after Pujols got his 3,000th hit.
Dirk was sitting behind home (his usual seat?) the day that the "Big Maple" became the first Canadian citizen to throw a no-no on Canadian soil. Of course, he was wearing a Seattle Mariners jersey at the time. That said, history was made and I'm an M's & a Rush fan so it was an especially fun game to watch. And the Toronto Blue Jays came into existence the same year as the Seattle Mariners. Both teams played their inaugural season in 1977. The Jays have done rather better over the years, but we had Junior, the "Big Unit", Edgar (Garr) and Ichiro so we still had a good reason to go to the games💯⚾👍
Geddy graciously donated all of his memorabilia to the museum. He said he couldn't keep it in good faith, knowing it should all be in that museum... Pretty cool, I'd say.
@@JimiBurleigh During the pandemic when no fans were allowed to attend MLB games, they placed placards of fans faces in the seats where the TV cameras were focused most. It was good to see the placard of Geddy in a seat behind home plate in Toronto during those days.
Geddy also scores the games in the old school scoring book way.
One of the greatest if not the greatest band of all time. RUSH ON bud.
Welcome down the rabbit hole, that is RUSH!
Really appreciate how you take deeper dives into the songs you're hearing. The meaning behind the words. Rush is so musically talented, that sometimes their lyrics aren't quite as appreciated. Neil Peart was a genius.
RIGHT ON BROTHA, HAVING ONLY BEEN ON THIS ROCK FOR 60yrs PREACH THAT WISDOM TO YOUR PRINCESS AND SHE WILL BE A QUEEN.
You definitely caught the essence of this song. The drummer, Neil Peart, wrote most of the lyrics, and they were often thought-provoking and introspective. He’s affectionately called “The Professor“ by fans not only because of his technical proficiency on drums, but also due to his way with words. The song Freewill is a great example, plus it has a badass instrumental jam in the middle. Cheers and best wishes to your daughter.
Alex and Geddy nicknamed him the Professor after the Professor on Gilligan’s Island TV show because he was so smart and the nickname stuck. Geddy talked about it in an interview
You ABSOLUTELY sussed out the meaning behind the lyrics. “In the backs of cars…” watch for your daughter. Love this.
I turned 57 Super Bowl Sunday. This song is in my Top 10 favorites ever.
Rush...... thinking man Rock!!!!
8:59 "Don't worry about everyone else....do you" - Good suff man, good stuff.
This is the 3rd of your videos I've watched - not only do I see you clearly understand the messages of each song and equate it with society's reality, but I'm very impressed about the way you speak to your little girl with guidance and encouragement daily. Seem like a great Dad. i'm enjoying your reactions :-)
You get it. This song never gets old. It's so fitting throughout our entire lifetimes. "Some will sell their dreams for small desires"... As adults, most of us do this every day. We settle in a job so we can live in a nice area or start a family... I wanted to be clown, and ended up an accountant...smh...lol. Yes, three guys doing multiple things. Lol. My personal fave is Natural Science. Lyric version you will enjoy... Especially if you are digging on the time changes. It's a journey.
Love your energy !!
None of their songs get old !!
I wanted to be Alex Lifeson and I am now an Accountant. LOL
@Thomas Kramer seems to ne some sort of trend. Hahaha
Your daughter is lucky to have a father like you. One who teaches her well and is expanding his own mind. Congratulations sir.
I honestly don't think you talk too much. I actually appreciate your commentary. I don't subscribe to reactors very much but this is the third video I've seen from you and am subscribing because of your insights!
I love you you’re awesome! Welcome to the #RUSHFAM❤️🤘🏼🎤🎸🎼🙌🏻
Yes, you got it! All three of the members of Rush lived in the suburbs and felt like outsiders. Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee met in junior high when they were 13 and formed a friendship over their humour and music. Alex was the one who started the band at 16. You are a great Dad giving your daughter that advice. It's so hard for little ones these days. The push to fit in is hitting kids younger and younger.
Other Rush songs
YYZ in Rio
Working man live in Cleveland
Xanadu live from Exit Stage Left
Digital Man from the Snakes and Arrows tour
Natural Science from the Molson Amphitheatre Toronto
Cheers 🇨🇦
Yeah.. great song... I lived this song in the 70's............. I was that misfit............. No Proms... no Homecoming... Hung around the shop wing... Joined the US Navy as soon as I could................... this song is so relevant...
About my 10 reaction I watched from you today (it's raining hard so) I really appreciate how you not only feel the music but you are really good at breaking down the lyrics too. Rush is great for both. Best 3 piece band ever IMO. You want the hardest RUSH songs look at their first album. In fact watch Working Man live in Cleveland for Neil's final performance. It rocks so hard and they put a nice twist on the live version opening.
Getting caught in ticking traps. The rat trip or 9-5 job is the trap most of us get caught in. Good reaction.
You really need to watch Working Man - Live in Cleveland. You will be absolutely blown away.
Very intelligent review. You got it in an instant.
You are a smart cat!! I'm digging your Rush reactions since they have been my favorite band for 43 yrs! LOL
Another banger of a song from Rush with deep lyrics is "The Analog Kid". It's a song that hits you right in the face starting with the very first note of the song.
Microwave society I love that! I'm so happy to hear that you're instilling the right things in your daughter that's the greatest thing about this song it's trying to tell you to be you and not to feel the pressure of society. You should listen to what I call the companion piece to this named the pass it's a song they wrote about teenage suicide
I like your attitude to life. Good for you. The more Rush you listen to ,the more you will understand that every song has a deep meaning. Also great music.
YESSSS SIRRRRR! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯😎🌝
Well done sir. Your daughter is in great hands!
I was in High School when this Album can out and I saw that concert in Memphis for that tour and it hit me right between the eyes. Welcome to the RUSH family Sir and you got my sub from seeing you the first time today.
You're a good dad bud! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yep. He gets it.
I think you gave good advice to your daughter. This world is really just a game (in a sense), and learning to play it, while external forces don't want you to, is the key.
RUSH Army is present and prepared for duty.
Way to go! You picked up on the song's meaning quicker than most reactors!
Yes, only 3 musicians. Neil Peart, arguably the best drummer of all time - G.O.A.T. Geddy Lee, arguably, the G.O.A.T. bass player of all time. Lastly, the most underrated rock guitarist - Alex Lifeson.
BTW, Neil Peart wrote all the lyrics! He was a genius besides being the 🥁 G.O.A.T.
Anything you want to know about Rush, ask me! Been listening to them since I was 12 years old (1978).
R.I.P. Neil Peart - January 7, 2020
Great reaction to a great band and song. I urge you to watch their live performance of "Xanadu" to get a true appreciation for how talented these three musicians are.
I love that you get it man ♥️
Rush’s goal was to be “the world’s smallest symphony orchestra.” They wanted to have as big a sound as they could without adding musicians to the band, so Geddy started playing keyboards, both he and Alex added foot pedals, Neil added various percussion instruments and eventually electronic drums and voila! The greatest band on Earth!
This was song that really hooked me. This song hit home to us suburban dreamers. I wasn’t an outcast by any stretch, but I was friends with some who were. You should watch the video for this song, not to react, just to watch. This was Neil’s experience, growing up as an outcast and always being an introvert, even after success. I think if you really want to dive into Rush, you need to listen to 2112 (twenty-one-twelve). It’s the epic, title track to their breakout album in 1976. You need some time, it’s a bit over 20 minutes long and is comprised of seven suites, from Overture to Grand Finale.
You want to see these three legends LIGHT IT UP live? Check out the song Working Man live in Cleveland from the Time Machine Tour. Face melting, mind melting, legendary
La Villa Strangiato is a masterpiece by them.
I think it's the only song they ever released where they had to resort to using tracks, because creating the whole thing in one take in the studio was too challenging on a tight recording schedule.
I'd guess they eventually got it all memorized where they could do it live, but iirc that's what they said in the 'Beyond the Lighted Stage" documentary.
This song is classic !!!
Bingo! I loved your AJ reactions but you definitely got this right out of the gate. Treat your self.... Working man live in Clevland. You will see just 3. With an ear for Rush your in for a ride. Best live band. Best studio band. I could go on and on. You"ll see and btw, welcome to the Rush Army.
You nailed it my man. The borders and subdivisions are both physical and mental
Another really thoughtful reaction :) Good journey...Peace!
Yes influenced Rush.
An individual is a leader a group are followers...I always tried to install that in my kids. Be a leader, if you want. You must be yourself.

Sceez, you're on 🎯 with your analysis of this one, Sir
Thank you kindly!!! Appreciate you
2112 - 20+ minutes
I see this in your future. Great analysis.
9:00 Some real truth here, the pressures of society begin almost as soon as we leave the womb...all the things we hear and see and touch and taste and feel leave their imprint on our personality...it's why they say the first six years or so are the most important, because that is where we form our first and accordingly deepest memories...
You've opened the door on a great journey. I saw Rush in 78, they were phe6. The crowd was one of the most involved I've ever experienced and I went to a ton of concerts back in the day. I highly recommend The Trees, so much subtext. I'd recommend more but it would be a ridiculously long list.
Can't wait till you get around to their performance of XYZ live in Brazil 😁👍
Absolutely agreed ‼️ That crowd was crazy! Only time I have ever heard a crowd sing along with an instrumental was at a Rush show.🤘
We should probably tell him that it's Y-Y-"Zed" because they're Canadian, eh🇨🇦🤔🤣LOL🤣
@@JimiBurleigh oops, i said XYZ. I stand corrected Y Y Z
New respect for you bro.. way to be POPS!!! 👍💪❤️😎
Thank you for paying attention to the lyrics. Great reaction
Limelight needs to be next up. You're gonna love that one!
I hope he watches the OMV
Absolutely 💯 🔥
It only just started but man I'd love to point out that it opens in sevens rather than fours or eights or threes or sixes which are the familiar rhythms we are used to. But literally just listen for the downbeat and then count out one two three four five six seven one two three four five six seven and you will truly feel how amazing this odd but shifting beat is. And of course they come out of it now again like any good sign that uses strange time signatures to something more straight to really drive the point home. But sevens is the theme for this one for sure!
next one from Rush - Roll the Bones ( with lyric ) 😎👍
Since you are interested in the lyrics as well as the music, for your next few reactions I recommend you listen to "Freewill," "The Trees," "Natural Science," and cap it off with "Tom Sawyer."
You nail it brother
Hit it out of the park
Check out rush-Tom Sawyer that song would have you at the edge of your seat.
Rush - "Working Man"
They lyrics of the songs on the album from which this song comes (Signals) were very personal and introspective, and although I've not researched this, I think they reflected some of Neil Peart's experience of his adolescence and his discomfort with others and in growing up in general.
I had to subscribe to you because guess what? You are intune with the lyrics. The 2nd Rush song that I watched that you reviewed and you nailed it.
Music and Lyrics for all Humanity!
RUSH Reactions are the best! Thanks for the fun reaction. Hope you react to TOM SAWYER next if you haven't already. Keep smiling
Awesome content & honest assessments!
Keep it going man. You seem a lot more genuine than most in this genre 🎉
You have to check out RUSH ZANADO(1981 video)👍
Xanadu - Exit...Stage Left live video. Best watch to see three master multitasking musicians.
Tell it! Preach Sceez!
The whole band was in this situation in School , They felt they did not fit in with the so called click groups , They just stayed on the outside and played music , Also the drummer was a book worm
Loved what you're saying a little bit through it man interpreting the lyrics and the feeling and so right man it seems to be timeless. I would say though get a blast of something slightly heavier from maybe as little as 5 years earlier. From the album 2112, but from the B side cuz the a side is this long story which I've seen people react to but it's like 20 minutes long but anyway it's mind blowing but anyway the other side side B of the record album, has five Standalone individual songs and they're all incredible. So really any of them are fantastic but I would suggest, do this one called something for nothing. This will give you insight into where this rocking band was at slightly before this '80s technology. And they used the new technology masterfully and they continued to but I think it's really important to hear where they came from and that's not even their early shit that's just from like 1975 or something.
We all fall into that trap, societal norms and pressures, this includes racism, takes a strong personality to not be a follower and not even a leader, carve your own path, if people wanna be friends cool, if not, it's whatever
Bruh! Loved it. You get a thumb and a sub!
Indeed ✌❤🎶
Hope you do ' Ghost of a Chance', soon!!
Hidden gem.😊
@@kevinmcfarlane2752 Love Geddy's lower register. Also add Cold Fire to the list.
You get it Dude!
Subdivisions is the one I suggested. Next should be Limelight then Tom Sawyer.
Great reaction and commentary!! Rush has many thought provoking messages, wrapped inside masterful music. You should check out The Analog Kid and New World Man, also from this album. See what you think...
So amazing 👏
Awesome reaction bro!!!!!!!! I do the same with my kids.
And only three members. The Holy Trinity!!!!!!!!! Check out Limelight, and Leave that thing Alone, live in Cleveland. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Like some rush, you gotta listen to……….
Spirit of radio
Sceez squad
What up Aurora yeah get throwing it down throwing it down yeah
Check out “Working Man”live from Cleveland next my brother. Unbelievable
YYZ in rio , you will get to see them in action
I here everythig you said and I agree to most of it. And I but not like you that have child. And herring the song Subdivisions it's mainly a motivatioal song to help someone to get out the loneliness there in. In other words watch the music video Subdivisions.
Hey the lame table actually are some of the cool ones
You must do the tom sawyer video that usually a good start for new rush fans
Love this reaction! Keep 'em coming!!!😎 Check out Three Days Grace - "I Hate Everything About You". 🙌 From what I hear, great respect to your fathering skills as well.❤
"Only three people back there!" There is a simple way to prove it. There is TONS of live Rush video footage. Most of that is better than the album version. React to it, you will love it.
im all in in the chaneel this is a request from brazil xanadu, please give us
hey xanadu live one the 2 versions urgent u never been the same masterpiece total
Only 3 people... But they're Canadians - 'nuff said. (Sometimes Bubbles helped)
Drummer considers one of the best ever . When you react to Led Zeppelin, you'll hear Drummer John Bonam, considered the greatest.
Let's Take and Bake Some sneakers yeah yo
Tom Sawyer next!
You gotta listen to xanadu
No one spits that stuff now
Try Natural science bro !!!!!!
I recommend the 1997 performance at Toronto's Molson Amphitheater, followed by a mind-blowing performance of 2112 from the same show.
🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🔥 🔥 🔥
teach your little gal to be a leader and not a follower or sheep, worked for me
