Thank you. This is the first book of a trilogy taking a deep dive into Rush's lyrics. I combed their catalog looking for songs that remain relevant many years later. I searched for songs with universal truths that could have been "written last week". There were MANY, which is why one video turned into 3. It means a lot to me that you're here! Eric
@@TheLoudboyExperience And you being here is very awesome!!! Was it the Cygnus Books that inspired the book idea? You could have gone with the multi-album, out of order Parts of Fear. Which are put together in order on GUP Live which precedes Part 4 on Vapor Trails. Those guys are so sneaky!
So many of Neil's lyrics were timeless. Certainly the one's you highlighted but so many others. Did we take it a little for granted at the time ? I'd probably say no, I used to pour over his lyrics with each listen of the latest album, but I think now that he's gone & the band over, I've developed a new appreciation for his work - maybe partly because I know there won't be any more. Thank you for helping to keep the memories of Rush alive.
Me too my friend. I feel the same way. This is Book One of Three, and I'll be releasing the full Trilogy throughout the crazy holidaze. Thank you for coming on this deep dive with me. I wasn't sure if you guys would share my enthusiasm for Neil's lyrics, at least enough to come on this spoken word examination of his work. Lyrics are always my focus for any band, any song. For you and me, we agree. Neil's lyrics moved us then and will for the rest of our days. Thank you bud, Eric
I love all their creations. Their silly, sad, sincere moments. The way they have so much fun playing shows. It's all or nothing. GUP is certainly a poignant Lp.Thinking man's art.
Wow! Yes. Well said. They took their art so seriously, yet, behind the scenes they couldn't stop laughing, and on stage having as much fun as we did seeing them live. Just like many of us, RUSH was a big fan of MST3K. Through their ups and downs, good times and bad, we were there sharing their journey through life. For this reason, our global Rush Family will remain connected for many years to come. Thinking man's art, indeed!

I have been wondering how great it might be to have a collection in book form of Neil’s lyrics. Many other song writers have been published as such. Neil deserves such an honor as well.
This is a great idea. I can't believe I haven't thought about a real paperbound book with Neil's lyrics before myself 🙂 Such a fantastic idea. I've been using www.rush.com/albums/ for years. Each Rush album link has a complete set of lyrics. It's been my go-to for official copy-and-paste lyrics, and I used it for this set of videos. A REAL Book is overdue. Hint, hint, Geddy, Alex, and Backstage Club 😉 We're glad you're here, bud, stay tuned; more Rush Lyrics videos are coming.

Hey bud! I love that you picked up on that. I've been saying "let's go" since I started this channel. Merry Christmas, my friend; as always, it's wonderful to hear from you. Eric
Thanks bud. I love your channel too, I just went to subscribe and found that I already was. Old age! If you can help it, don't ever grow up. ;-) Hey, like you I do this because I love video production and RUSH. This is my honor and pleasure. Happy Rush Day my friend, Eric
Humans don't change. That's why cautionary tales become playbooks. (We are the priests of the temple of syringe... The words of the profits are written on the walls... It's the fool on television getting paid to play the fool) A little mistake: you hummed Kid gloves, not The body electric. Agree, its 5/4 time signature is so cool. Happy 21 12.
Crap! Ahhh! LoL! You're right! I'm eating a crow dinner right now. I've told you guys that I talk 100% improvised in real-time. I was one track off. Please accept my sincere apologies. Kid Gloves is 5/4! Thank you, my friend. Thanks for watching and especially for making this correction. Thankfully, I don't think I hum in Books Two and Three of this series. These episodes are coming soon. Happy 21/12. I'm glad you're here! Eric
BTW, upon closer examination of your note, I see the carefully chosen words. Nicely done, and you're right! I think I get every meaning. Thanks again, Eric
