Awesome, so glad younger generation appreciating this Album, Graduated 1986, went cycling all over for a year with power windows cassette only in my yellow Walkman. 😅 still doing both at 55.👍😎
One of their best albums, every song is well constructed and sonically rich and balanced. Alex's lead tone on this song is perfect, the whole album actually. Love those custom built strats the hentors.with the bill lawrence pickups.
First, he was in his prime here [32] and Peter Collins was brought in to give them all the commercial tricks they were missing. Geddy was ‘layering’ his voice. Recorded it one way with up pitch, down pitch and neutral with slight reverb. Done at the same time, it was considered the 80s analog way of creating auto-tune - yet sounded much better than synthetic fake robot voices of todays auto-tuners
Geddy is all over this album, and absolutely nothing wrong with that because I really think Alex and Neil are also well accounted for, but it just seems that Geddy's bass is just barrelling along and holding it all there with him. :)
Is it a love song? Is it soft rock with a bit of an edge, or is it hard rock with a gentle touch of power? Is it Rush going adult contemporary? Yes and no all at the same time for each of those questions. Why? Because it’s Rush baby, it’s Rush.🤘🖖✌️🎹🥁🎹🎤🎹🎸🎹
I forgot how much I enjoy PW. It is and was a great album. I really appreciate the talent of Lifeson in his ability to layer sounds and pick his spots.

One of Alex's best solos, in my opinion. The Power Windows tour was the 1st time I saw the band live, they played the entire album except this track.
My fav solo(s). Read years ago that this was one of Alex’s favorites and actually two solos they decided to merge and include. Simply brilliant!!
Creo que nunca tuvo una versión en un disco en vivo , pero fue cantada en varios shows .
Tragic they never played this song live.
"Sometimes our big splashes are just ripples in the pool" gets me every time.
The older I get, the more striking I find a lot of Neil’s lyrics. The one you quoted is one of my favorites.
INCREDIBLE song, both lyrically and musically! A master aural brushstroke!

40 years later and this song still gives me chills ❤
Brazil here. Rio . Rush in rio
This song is my #1 favourite of Rush and 1 of a handful of songs never played live.
4.26 to 5.17 is my favourite Rush section on any album. awesome.
Those crazy canucks❤😂.😊
Still have my tour jersey from this tour 😊
We know Geddy can belt and wail, but there’s something I just love about his singing on this whole album.

RUSH were 'purposeful chameleons' that had so much talent, they could change it up often! We, as music fans, are all the luckier for it!

Verse 2 is some of my favourite of Neil`s work.
plus Geddy and the way he sings sometimes......so great
This is some of Alex's finest axework!
Easily top3 of Alex solo's. They never played this live. But, what a song. And solo........
Funny, never really liked this song before your reaction, guess listening it in isolation. Now I appreciate it, thanks!😊
Yeah this is one that doesn't do much for me besides Alex's guitar solo. It's not bad, but not that exciting.
