My favorite Rush song. Reminds me so much of my Dad. He died from cancer a few years back and he absolutely loved Rush. I feel so blessed that I got to see Rush with him before he passed. R.I.P Pops Edit: wow, thanks for all the likes and kind words y'all ❤️🤘
@@danbardos3498 thank you. But you know, shit just happens. You mourn and then you pick yourself up and keep going. Life will put a lot of weight on your shoulders one day and you have to make the choice whether or not to press on, or let it weigh you down.
Reminds me of a short story we would have read in English Lit class back in high school. The only song that paints a visual picture better is Springsteen's "Jungle Land".
Having the car is illegal, he takes a ride of freedom, illegally while the law chases him. That WAS an instrument making that sound! Lol i knew you would like this one too!

The 80's was the greatest time for rock n roll, metal period so many great concerts, so many great bands, my favorite part of my life, I'm 53 years old and the 80s were amazing 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻☠️☠️👍👍👍
I'm 52. Started my teenage years in 1980. Kids today don't know what fun is! The music was incredible and summers seemed to last forever. Man I miss those days!
47 here. 80's were undoubtedly the best decade hands down. Best pro sports, best movies (Carl Reiner and similar style movies) and THE BEST ALL AROUND MUSIC EVER! Moving pictures with Red Barchetta, my fav Rush song, brought it in in style.
Jim, you hit it on the head! I am 53, admit I had a mullet back then, lol!!! But the best musicians who could actually sing and play an instrument were from the 70,80 rock bands. Rush,triumph,April wine,38 special, bad company,eagles,heart,dio etc!!! Simple!
One my favorite Rush songs. When I was young, I joined the Air Force and was stationed in Spain ( Torrejón Air Base), and I would take out one of my albums, often Rush, put it on the turn table, crank up the volume on my Kenwood Super-Eleven receiver, and my big ol' pioneer cabinet type speakers would this for all to hear. This was 1980-1982. Damn. It feels like a lifetime ago.
I am a rash fan of 38 + years... this guy is really getting the experience and really putting it together. There is much more, I love his videos, they make me smile on Rush, I get a huge kick out of you really enjoying this...I've taken so much crap for loving this band in the past its refreshing to see others see what I do and hold value to it. Thanks
I'm sure there's something else I should be getting done this weekend, but I can't stop watching these Rush reactions. Your amazement and appreciation for these songs is like reliving hearing them for the first time.
So true! I watch all Rush reactions online. It's great to see so many first-timers immediately see the gulf of talent between Rush and everyone else; especially today's mainstream artists.
Im sitting here with other pages open to things i need to do. Pay bills, order a transmission for my broke ass honda, and Im here enjoying Jamal's adventure into Rush discovery. Lol just realized i havnt made myself dinner yet either. Totally worth it.
Also check out their DVD “Time Machine, Live”, they play the entire Moving Pictures album. I attended the concert and it was so friggin’ awesome! I especially love the intro videos at the beginning and at the second half of the concert.
This is one of Rush's best tracks. I can't think of another song that SOUNDS more like what it's about than this. You can hear the hard shifts, the squealing tires, the soaring engine without the lyrics.
@@vxCrusaderxv : There are subgenres of the time they Rush taps into. Two artists can share the genre of a period while simultaneously being sufficiently original that we would not likely say one sounds like the other. Haydn and Bach are clearly both writing is a romantic style while sounding distinct. 1981 Rush is distinguishable from 1977 Rush, while remaining distinctively Rush.
@@zapazap what other artist at that time sounds like Rush? Rush certainly wasn't sounding like any other. Rush was ahead of their time in the 70s and 80s.
@@vxCrusaderxv : am not saying that the Band sounded like other bands. I am saying the band and adapted (and transformed) styles and aesthetics of the times tjey moved through. I emphasize *transformed*.
Your appreciation for Rush helps me remember my original falling into love with them 15 years ago (yes, I was late!), thank you for continuing to try new tracks from them!
"The song describes a future in which many classes of vehicles have been prohibited by "the Motor Law". ... The song was inspired by the futuristic short story "A Nice Morning Drive", by Richard Foster and published in the November 1973 issue of Road and Track magazine Yep...The car sound was done by Geddy. The bass lines in this song are amazing. They are melodic and not just keeping rhythm. Peart on the drums is a percussionist and adds dimensions to the music, not just keeping the beat. Alex as always is a monster on the guitar and everything just fits perfectly. Whenever I hear this song, I just want to go on a long drive in my convertible to anywhere. :)
Joseph Clark Seems like it’s gonna be based on OUR future. I can totally see a future where single piloted, gasoline burning cars are illegal. You know damn well some old timers’ll have a Dodge Hellcat or Porsche GT3 hidden under the barn & just rip the hell outta that thing every once in a while.
Can never go wrong with RUSH. I've been listening to them for over 30 years and all their songs make me think of my younger years...even at my current age RUSH never gets old.
My impression has always been, the first car sound is a pic drag on the guitar and the second is again a pic drag with a gradual pitch shift with either Alex using a pedal or Geddy using the pitch shift wheel on one of his synths.
This is literally one of the best rock albums of all time imo. Rush was the soundtrack of my life during highschool and im 24! If you havent already check out some of their longer EPIC songs (20 min each at least) like 2112 and The Fountain of Lamneth and Cygnus X Book one and two! you will FOR SURE love them!
I was a ninth grader in 1981 when I saw this tour my second ever concert. I only knew a couple of songs of theirs I can assure you my reaction was one of amazement. 34 years and 20 more Rush shows later I’m thrilled all over again seeing you and others discover them. Thanks!!
I have been a fan of Rush since 1975, when I was only 8 years old ... Never, I repeat, never seen reaction to the band's songs so spontaneously and vicerally ... Congratulations brother!
Couple of primary school buddies created one of the best progressive rock bands to this date, with the addition of possibly the best lyricist and drummer on the planet.
That sound put’s you into the driver seat , and experience spinning those wheels as you speed on down that road . As a gear head , this is my favorite song from Rush . They know how to tell a story through music to the point you feel as though you are there .
So glad to see some Rush love. Glad it’s being dug. And their musicianship was always tight along with thought-provoking lyrics. 3 of the BEST rockers ever!
I remember the first time I listened to this song,I had just smoked a little hash and had my headphones on and my mind was blown away, this song and the spirit of the radio are my favorite Rush songs Having headphones on and smoking a little hash was the only way to listen to music from"the day" I really miss those days,I'm 54 now and dealing with Leukemia, but I still have my headphones and wished that I could find some"hash" and relive those days
I heard for the first time just a couple of years ago. Even though I have been a fan for decades. Time, budget, or life always kept my music library limited.
Along with the constraints mentioned by Connor, mainstream FM classic radio is to blame. They wouldn't know a deep track if it bit them on the ass. Those who do are forbidden to play them since deep tracks aren't on the approved list. For that reason it is the responsibility of those of us who know our shit to pass our knowledge on to the youth that truly love the history of the music that we lived.
@@guillermo3564 in the late eighties/early nineties, a station in Tampa started. It was/is 98rock. When it started, they had actual disc jockeys choosing and playing a list. They would also play entire sides and albums. It was one of the last stations to do this kind of programming, and it killed it's competition.
Grew up on RUSH. They were like food and water to me. So cool to watch new generations like you being introduced to one of the greatest bands ever. Keep on rockin'.
THIS! THIS IS IT! The track that first pulled me down the Rush rabbit hole. (And this whole Moving Pictures LP...perfection. So grateful I saw this tour.)
Still one of my favorite Rush songs, especially when I go blasting through the countryside in my little convertible. Thanks for getting my day started off right Jamel!
Darlin, I just found you! Thank you for your honest candor, your humor and love for all music! As a musician, I know that all music evolves constantly; jazz, blues, hip hop, rock, punk, country... Thank you for doing these and sharing your love of music and broadening everyone’s musical horizons ♥️
I can’t recall and dare say that never before or since has there been a drummer (Neil) and bass player (Geddy) that plays to each other and compliments the other in all they play. While the lyrics and guitarist (Alex) just completes the master piece !!! Together, they’re master musicians, masters of ever changing time signatures in their musical creations, showmen, storytellers, entertainers of the highest skill and calibre, and above all during good times and in bad ... life long brothers and best of friends !!! How I lament Mr. Neil Peart’s passing. I still mourn his departure, but rejoice at his arrival !!! May you rest in eternal peace !!! RUSH !!! Celebrate with me every year on the 21st day of December (2112), a Rush Day !!! ( in case you didn’t ). Be loud and proud !!! Peace ☮️ !!!
I saw Rush in Concert in 1980 or 81 when this album came out.....I can't believe how people are finally figuring our how great they are(were)!!!!!!! thank you for bringing them to light
@@4juno Grace Under Pressure is one of the most under appreciated albums of all time. Between the Wheels and The Body Electric are two of the best songs Rush ever did imo
Another Rush fan has been born! It's just too bad that they've retired as a band, I'm sure that you would have loved to see them live. Take it from me, it was definitely a great experience! At least there's plenty of live performance videos of them for you to enjoy. You're obviously a true music appreciator, and Rush has given us 40 years of awesome material to appreciate, that's for sure! This is one of my favorite Rush songs, it's a great storytelling song, and the music and lyrics take you on a journey through a futuristic time where gasoline powered vehicles have been outlawed by the government. It's rebellious, glorious, and completely paints a picture in your mind. That's a hallmark of great writing, and something that seems to be lost in today's music. So glad you are enjoying this legendary band! It's been a blast taking the journey along with you! And yes... that's instruments creating the sound of the car engine accelerating, Geddy's synthesizer to be exact! As always, Peace and love from Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A!
Thank you from this Rush fan! After hearing of the passing of Neil Peart, I was listening to Rush and came across your channel. You got it Jamel, how can three guys put out all that sound. I’ve listen to these guys sense 1974, went to 3 of their concerts, WOW!!! Again thank you!
I saw them in concert in December 1982 in Philly at the Signals Tour. Awesome, insane, and perfectly performed. I wish you could have been there with me.
Montrose's song, "Bad Motor Scooter," the 🎸 sounds like a bike taking off! The lead singer actually was the singer for Van Halen, after they regrouped, taking Eddie Lee Roths place.
Also Hagar, Schonn, Aaronson, and Shreve; Chickenfoot (awesome supergroup) and the Circle as well as a solo career that spans the decades. Sammy is the man!
One of the greatest rock bands (hell, just bands) of all time, top track & incredible album. Really enjoying these reaction vids.Rush spanned 40yrs, lots of style-transitions as they morphed as they aged.Incredible band.
Not only are the technical aspects of the music so good but hot damn what a set of lyrics. The best songs are the ones that create a picture in your head as you're listening. This song is awesome.
I grew up listening to Rush so I can’t pinpoint my first time hearing any of these songs. But seeing you react to them the first time is such a delight. This is my very favorite Rush song. I used to sing it to my daughters when they were babies as a lullaby.
Dude you’re awesome. You made my entire night. Tuned into lots of your videos after I woke up with horrible nightmares. Turned it all around. Thank you for what you do.
@@DTWC yeah the only Rush that really sounds a little dated is their mid 80s albums when they used a lot of synthesizers and keyboards which were a big thing at that time with many bands
Wow, man! I wish there was an excellent button for your reaction. Your pure emotional reaction brings me joy and excitement to my soul to have you experience what I experience almost 40 years ago when I was 15(mind blown). Great work my friend. FYI, “Rush” and “Judas Priest” are my best live performances in almost 40 years of concert going. I saw Rush 3 times, the last time being their next to last tour. Rush was my 2nd concert ever in 1981. Thanks for reading my comment. GBY.
Great name. I feel the same about my Miata. When all the battery trash inevitably fails my ICE will not be bothered. But "Black Barchetta" would have to be mine if it was called that haha
One of the best Rush songs ever. I’ll never forget the first time I heard it at a buddy’s house at 14. I was soooo high and his older brother said “check this band out!” And he laid the needle down. And I was never the same again.. I miss those days when music was diverse and good. Rock, Pop, Soul, Funk...Many great bands and songs to listen to. Even the Country music was tolerable as compared to today.
Check out RUSH'S YYZ. Oh my goodness, I can't even explain it it's amazing. I believe YYZ is on the same album if I'm not mistaken. Please please please please listen to YYZ
Normally right-handed. Now she's trying left-handed. Little sister on bass is 9. ⭐Audrey & Kate👽 "YYZ" {Left-handed} th-cam.com/video/-WuJ3WlW3Vg/w-d-xo.html
It is so awesome to see you paying attention to the lyrics, especially with the Rush songs. It tells me that you want to get the full story. job well done. This is also one of my favorites, glad to see you doing it.
I love that you reacted to this song! This is one of their best songs and underrated a bit I think. By the way, you should react to By Tor and the Snow Dog. They use instruments in a way that will absolutely love.
Such a powerful messege from "At the one-lane bridge I leave the giants stranded at the riverside Race back to the farm To dream with my uncle at the fireside" Thaaaank you Neil!
I see Rush, I watch. Also, please react to the live version of YYZ with the drum solo from a show of hands tour, I know you've seen YYZ live but this drum solo is such a defining moment in my eyes for neil peart to help solidify him as the best of all time.
This is undoubtedly my favorite Rush song. I'm a huge gear head, and this song lyrically and musically perfectly sums up my love and passion for cars and for driving. Makes me want to go out and buy an old Alfa Romero Spider and tear up some back roads.
My favorite Rush song. Reminds me so much of my Dad.
He died from cancer a few years back and he absolutely loved Rush. I feel so blessed that I got to see Rush with him before he passed. R.I.P Pops
Edit: wow, thanks for all the likes and kind words y'all ❤️🤘

Sorry for your loss. 😞 #RushFamily

Glad you looked into the lyrics - one does NOT sleep on Rush's lyrics!
RIP to The Poet & The Professor.
Prez Larfleeze Yes! The lyrics are poetry.
You didn't have to smoke anything, stoned from the tune!!!
this was the first song by Rush that really grabbed my attention. it's been 35 years since then, and this song still gives me shivers. Thanks, Jamel!
The beauty of this song is that it's a story, rich with illustration and emotion.
Well said, I've always thought that abstractly but you put it into words.
Reminds me of a short story we would have read in English Lit class back in high school. The only song that paints a visual picture better is Springsteen's "Jungle Land".

NOTICE: from the album 'Moving Pictures', album cover shows men moving pictures.... I miss cool album art.
And there's a guy filming them too, creating "moving pictures", it's a four way pun!!!
AND all the songs on the record were meant to have a cinematic feel to them.
Also check out their DVD “Time Machine, Live”, they play the entire Moving Pictures album. I attended the concert and it was so friggin’ awesome! I especially love the intro videos at the beginning and at the second half of the concert.
Talking about album covers: Signals; a dog sniffing a hydrant. It's about time to revive the licorice pizzas, if not only for the covers.
Right! Album art was the best!!
And..Thanks Jamel for jamming more Rush and bringing back good memories.
One of the best ever Rush songs !! Geddy omg bass guru / vocalist nails this to perfection Neil and Alex sublime as ever! We were spoilt in the 80’s
This is one of Rush's best tracks. I can't think of another song that SOUNDS more like what it's about than this. You can hear the hard shifts, the squealing tires, the soaring engine without the lyrics.

My absolute favorite song ever by RUSH. So much going on in this masterpiece. Haven't heard it in awhile, thanks for the reaction.
My problem is that EVERY rush is my favorite song.
I haven't heard this since I started playing guitar when I was probably in my 20s and im 56 now. And I like it better than I did when I was younger.
Your appreciation for Rush helps me remember my original falling into love with them 15 years ago (yes, I was late!), thank you for continuing to try new tracks from them!
Better late than never.
That was the car tearing off. Guitar.. That was won awesome 3person Canadian Band. ✌️🎸🥁

This is the song to my soul... "shifting and drifting... mechanical music... ADRENALINE SURGE!"
I saw RUSH moving pictures tour in concert . I was in the seventh row from the stage it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen!
If you only knew what it was like for us to grow up with this music in the 80's and hearing it for the first time on the radio.
This song always gives me the same adrenaline surge that Geddy so heartily sings about.
Definitely geddy sings those amazing parts. This was integral to my life.
This was one of the first few songs that got me hooked on Rush. I never tire of this song 🎧.
Actually the car is from the past. And in the future said car is illegal. And the chase begins.
Exactly!
Yep! It’s based off of a book or short story
Joseph, it’s based on “A Nice Morning Drive” by Richard Foster. Later on, the band actually met him. Pretty cool.
Joseph Clark Seems like it’s gonna be based on OUR future. I can totally see a future where single piloted, gasoline burning cars are illegal. You know damn well some old timers’ll have a Dodge Hellcat or Porsche GT3 hidden under the barn & just rip the hell outta that thing every once in a while.

I can’t recall and dare say that never before or since has there been a drummer (Neil) and bass player (Geddy) that plays to each other and compliments the other in all they play. While the lyrics and guitarist (Alex) just completes the master piece !!! Together, they’re master musicians, masters of ever changing time signatures in their musical creations, showmen, storytellers, entertainers of the highest skill and calibre, and above all during good times and in bad ... life long brothers and best of friends !!! How I lament Mr. Neil Peart’s passing. I still mourn his departure, but rejoice at his arrival !!! May you rest in eternal peace !!! RUSH !!! Celebrate with me every year on the 21st day of December (2112), a Rush Day !!! ( in case you didn’t ). Be loud and proud !!! Peace ☮️ !!!
Yes! That was Alex's guitar making that "car" sound! Such a cool, fun song!
I saw Rush in Concert in 1980 or 81 when this album came out.....I can't believe how people are finally figuring our how great they are(were)!!!!!!! thank you for bringing them to light
"A nice morning drive" was the short story Neil based the lyrics on. This song and album are a masterpiece of prog-rock.
And this was the day that our very own Jamal dove into the Rush Rabbit Hole.
Ahhhh...the song that's always playing in my heads soundtrack as I hop on my bike and head up the coast 😁
✌
Rick Haddad amen bro
I knew about Rush but didn't become a fan until "Moving Pictures" was released. Then I realized their previous albums were better than I thought. ,
That's exactly how a Ferrari Barchetta sounds!!😂😂😂
I got to see these guys live three times in the 80s here in Philadelphia at the old spectrum. Some of the high points of my Music life of the 80s.
If you're really looking for that 80's sound from these guys, Big Money will get you there
Yeah, or Grace Under Pressure
Time stand still also has the 80’s vibe..
Big money awesome song
@@4juno Grace Under Pressure is one of the most under appreciated albums of all time. Between the Wheels and The Body Electric are two of the best songs Rush ever did imo
Another Rush fan has been born!
It's just too bad that they've retired as a band, I'm sure that you would have loved to see them live. Take it from me, it was definitely a great experience! At least there's plenty of live performance videos of them for you to enjoy. You're obviously a true music appreciator, and Rush has given us 40 years of awesome material to appreciate, that's for sure! This is one of my favorite Rush songs, it's a great storytelling song, and the music and lyrics take you on a journey through a futuristic time where gasoline powered vehicles have been outlawed by the government.
It's rebellious, glorious, and completely paints a picture in your mind. That's a hallmark of great writing, and something that seems to be lost in today's music.
So glad you are enjoying this legendary band! It's been a blast taking the journey along with you!
And yes... that's instruments creating the sound of the car engine accelerating, Geddy's synthesizer to be exact!
As always, Peace and love from Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A!
Hans Gruber “Moving Pictures” for a reason... most songs on this album were written to be very cinematic.
Thank you from this Rush fan! After hearing of the passing of Neil Peart, I was listening to Rush and came across your channel. You got it Jamel, how can three guys put out all that sound. I’ve listen to these guys sense 1974, went to 3 of their concerts, WOW!!! Again thank you!
The Working Man has 100K subscribers. All that hard work is finally bearing fruit.
This song literally makes me feel the story. On of the greatest compositions ever!
this is such a wonderful song, and classic Rush. I'm glad you love this one. 👍
I saw them in concert in December 1982 in Philly at the Signals Tour. Awesome, insane, and perfectly performed. I wish you could have been there with me.
Montrose's song, "Bad Motor Scooter," the 🎸 sounds like a bike taking off! The lead singer actually was the singer for Van Halen, after they regrouped, taking Eddie Lee Roths place.
David Lee Roth
Sammy Hagar was part of Montrose and later Van Halen.
Also Hagar, Schonn, Aaronson, and Shreve; Chickenfoot (awesome supergroup) and the Circle as well as a solo career that spans the decades. Sammy is the man!
My Favorite Rush song! Thanks for fulfilling a request. I'm sure many others requested this as well
Yes that most definitely was a guitar making that sound. Alex Lifeson is a master!
As underrated as it gets. Sadly.
I think musically, this was an absolute master piece by Rush. Crisp, clear, beautiful fluctuating of sound and pace of sound. Truly amazing.
And don't get me started on the awesome lyrics....
Fecking love this tune.
One of the greatest rock bands (hell, just bands) of all time, top track & incredible album. Really enjoying these reaction vids.Rush spanned 40yrs, lots of style-transitions as they morphed as they aged.Incredible band.
Not all 80's, it's all masterpiece.
Not only are the technical aspects of the music so good but hot damn what a set of lyrics.
The best songs are the ones that create a picture in your head as you're listening. This song is awesome.
I can't tell you how many times I raced my car through the hills, this song blasting me along ;)
What a song. What an Italian made car!!!
Can you do Rush song A Farewell To Kings. Great song and I haven't seen anyone do it.
Or Madrigal
And the lyrics are some the most profound in what is already a catalog fecund with profundity.
Agreed! He should definitely do "A Farewell to Kings"!
Yes please!
In my top 5
I grew up listening to Rush so I can’t pinpoint my first time hearing any of these songs. But seeing you react to them the first time is such a delight. This is my very favorite Rush song. I used to sing it to my daughters when they were babies as a lullaby.
This is a great song while driving! 🚘
Dude you’re awesome. You made my entire night. Tuned into lots of your videos after I woke up with horrible nightmares. Turned it all around. Thank you for what you do.
The 80's feel. Yeah, like exactly 1980.
Yep, released in '81
Actually, 1981
This dont sound dated like most 80s music though
@@DTWC yeah the only Rush that really sounds a little dated is their mid 80s albums when they used a lot of synthesizers and keyboards which were a big thing at that time with many bands
@@youtoo2233 Oh you mean when RUSH wanted to sound like the Police for a few albums? LOL
Wow, man! I wish there was an excellent button for your reaction. Your pure emotional reaction brings me joy and excitement to my soul to have you experience what I experience almost 40 years ago when I was 15(mind blown). Great work my friend. FYI, “Rush” and “Judas Priest” are my best live performances in almost 40 years of concert going. I saw Rush 3 times, the last time being their next to last tour. Rush was my 2nd concert ever in 1981. Thanks for reading my comment. GBY.
"Red Barchetta" is what I call my Jeep, I'll be driving it when the world is nothing but burning Tesla's in the ditches...
Düde, I’m at 358K in a 1997 Jeep Cherokee. The straight 6 engine is a mofo.
@@moabmoron8607 NICE. I'd love to slap a turbo on my V-6, that would make it perfect. But adding Banks intake and exhaust really helped.
Great name. I feel the same about my Miata. When all the battery trash inevitably fails my ICE will not be bothered. But "Black Barchetta" would have to be mine if it was called that haha
One of the best Rush songs ever. I’ll never forget the first time I heard it at a buddy’s house at 14. I was soooo high and his older brother said “check this band out!” And he laid the needle down. And I was never the same again.. I miss those days when music was diverse and good. Rock, Pop, Soul, Funk...Many great bands and songs to listen to. Even the Country music was tolerable as compared to today.
This is what I listened to from high school through college.
One of the best trio bands on the planet. There music takes you on a journey where the mind travels to a soundtrack of freedom. Absolute brilliance.
Check out RUSH'S YYZ. Oh my goodness, I can't even explain it it's amazing. I believe YYZ is on the same album if I'm not mistaken. Please please please please listen to YYZ
Dionne Hoffman he already did.
Normally right-handed. Now she's trying left-handed. Little sister on bass is 9. ⭐Audrey & Kate👽 "YYZ" {Left-handed} th-cam.com/video/-WuJ3WlW3Vg/w-d-xo.html
4 of Rush's 10 best songs are off of this album IMHO.
The best instrumental song ever imo.
Listen to the exit stage left live version
It is so awesome to see you paying attention to the lyrics, especially with the Rush songs. It tells me that you want to get the full story. job well done.
This is also one of my favorites, glad to see you doing it.
I love that you reacted to this song! This is one of their best songs and underrated a bit I think. By the way, you should react to By Tor and the Snow Dog. They use instruments in a way that will absolutely love.
It should be the live version though
@@lifesabeach2597 Live version is too short, IMO.
Such a powerful messege from "At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside"
Thaaaank you Neil!
I see Rush, I watch.
Also, please react to the live version of YYZ with the drum solo from a show of hands tour, I know you've seen YYZ live but this drum solo is such a defining moment in my eyes for neil peart to help solidify him as the best of all time.
This is undoubtedly my favorite Rush song. I'm a huge gear head, and this song lyrically and musically perfectly sums up my love and passion for cars and for driving. Makes me want to go out and buy an old Alfa Romero Spider and tear up some back roads.
