Without a doubt one of the best songs ever written, ever sung, ever aired.
It’s timeless and it’s an undeniable masterpiece.
I don’t deny the songs you just listed are among my favorites - they are. Wish you were here is in my top 5 of all time. I’m a huge Floyd fan. Love Zepp. and Queen. It’s just Subdivisions was written specifically for the “ misfit “ or nerd and I was definitely both in my hs days. So subdivisions has intense meaning for me, as I think it did for so many others.
In my personal opinion it’s the single best song ever written but it’s just subjective opinion.
agreed
100 %
Together with 'Analog kid'...
This was the song that speaks to everyone from their awkward middle school and high school years
Subdivisions spoke to a lot of teens, Canadians and Americans alike.
Like I was when I first heard this song... A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
I was about 14 when I saw the video for Subdivisions on MTV. It was a game changer for me. Still my favorite Rush song. Just nails the disconnected day to day life of a teenager.
@@msh6865 I had that video on now expired VHS cassette. Really connected with my own experience.
This song speaks for generations of young people
It spoke to sensitive teens the world over. I'm British, and this was the anthem for me and my friends in the mid 80's, with our heavy metal tee shirts and greasy hair, trying to figure out why girls ignored us Lol. Brilliant song. Very moving, ad certainly one of my top Rush tracks. The opened with this when I saw them for the first time in 88.
Not only is this the greatest song of all time, but there is so much more to this song than meets the eye. I personally know several people who have done their Ph.D. theses on RUSH and this song specifically. Aside from its OBVIOUS meaning (i.e. people who are not considered "cool" or "popular" being cast out from society), there is actually a "double meaning" to this song. The secondary meaning is the irony of people from the big city wanting to escape to where there is peace and quiet (i.e. the suburbs) yet the people from the suburbs want the "action" and want to go down to the big city to find it/experience it. Hence, we have subdivisions socially as well as geographically. It's almost the "flip side of the coin" kind of song. The more you listen to it, the more you appreciate its many, many layers and (as always) magnificent musicianship by the greatest band of all time. Not my opinion, but simply a fact of life.
Very well put.
Rush was already my favorite band and then they released this when I was 15yo.
I was right in the crosshairs of the message in this song.
This still fits today and if anything, with social media, this pressure on kids has amped up tremendously.
I have a 16yo son and 21yo son. They grew up on their Dad's Rush and luckily I was able to get them to a couple of shows before the band retired. One of my greatest joys ever was watching them reacting to live Rush.

My favourite RUSH song! The panic of being traped in the suburbs of Canadian cities in the 1980s... "Conform or be cast out"..."Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight"
Great to see people who love music and who love each other this much, always good ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊😊☀️☀️
Subdivisions is one Rush song with lyrics more powerful than the music because of the social commentary.
Every time I hear the intro to this song it just reaches around my soul.
I'm not the most emotionally advanced person around. But this is just one of those songs that digs deeper.
Neil's lyrics floor me every time I listen to this song. It's in my top 5 favorite Rush songs, and it's THE song that made me a life-long Rush fan. As a 14 year old kid, hearing this for the first time I thought, "oh shit...these guys know how I feel." You grow up in a subdivision as most kids do and instantly through school, shopping malls, parents, peer pressure...you're asked to conform. "Be cool or be cast out." Individuality is discouraged or just outright ridiculed. "Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone."
The great attraction for teens is to get out of the subdivision; to experience freedom with your peers. Travel into the city, walk the streets of downtown, cruising around to be noticed. "Drawn like moths, we drift into the city. The timeless old attraction, cruising for the action." The irony here is that conformity is still in demand. "In the basement bars, in the backs of cars."
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth
Suddenly the teens are now adults. Working a 9 to 5 job in the very city they were so drawn to in their youth. The great promises the city and all its wonders seem to hold were just lies to lure the youth into the jobs of accountants, lawyers, etc. Adults who sold out their true desires because society told them what they truly wanted was wrong...conform or be cast out. Stuck at a job they have no emotional investment in, they long for the workday to be completed. The tragic twist for these adults is that the very thing they wanted to escape...their subdivision...is the very thing they now long for at the end of another workday.
Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight
Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights
LOL added a like just for your intro story Rich hehe. Too funny. Seriously tho.. this song still holds true to this day.
Peace
The GARDEN. WILL TOUCH YOUR HEARTS
Most "moving song" in Rush's catalog. No disrespect to The Pass.
You can't go wrong with Rush!
You're a lucky guy, I wish i had a lady that would look at me like that
yep. that stuck out to me more than anything.
me too man
I have one, and it's awesome. I love Kel and Rich..
Ron - give it time it will happen...:)
Yup - agreed
I totally agree that this song is as close to perfection as possible. Many Rush songs are, in my opinion. My favorite band ever. So many songs from their 80's work is incredible. The Analog Kid, Time Stand Still, Red Sector A, all of Moving Pictures. So many. I loved watching your reactions to this one.
Life is so much better with music in it, but a life with Rush in it doesn't get any better. Neil's lyrics resonate so well with us as human beings. We all can relate in some way. Thank you guys for doing this and any other Rush. I was so happy to catch Chain Lightning, my 16 year old daughters favorite tune. Middletown Dreams and Natural Science are a couple of good ones I would love to see you react to. Thanks!
This song is just hauntingly beautiful. For such a high energy song it just makes you want to stop and listen and reflect. It's like the sound of Silence but on the other side of the spectrum. It's just as powerful to my soul.
Definitely in my top 5 favorite Rush songs, if not #1. Thank you for playing it. My wife and I are still dealing with the shitstorm created by hurricane Michael, but you guys are a nice distraction from the mess. But some have it worse than us, so we feel blessed to have a home to live in at least. Thanks again. Now to bed with you.
I was 15 in 1982...man this song never gets old... It's a timeless old attraction... Best band ever if you're lucky enough to find them
That's how it was growing up in the 80s. Subdivisions. 🤘👽🤘
And the 2000's
3:09 she couldn't care less... she's just watching him enjoying the music he loves. :)
Just an amazingly deep and relatable song to millions of youth both then and now. Three kids from Toronto that became famous me of the most talented and amazing bands ever. Just awesome.
NO ONE ELSE SOUNDS LIKE RUSH......, Unique Enjoying your harmony together. Thanks
RIP Neil Peart. My first concert was RUSH 2112. Awesome. Neil was a legend and the words he wrote were art wether it’s a song, poem or books. The talent of the drums were awesome. He put his love into it and you felt it. My husband and I connect through the beauty of music as well.
I love the Kel's reactions, as someone that's hearing these songs for the first time. And they don't keep stopping the song like other reaction videos do. They let it play and enjoy the music. And I like that they play so much Rush too.
As a Canadian, nothing makes me more proud than knowing that Rush is a product of our culture. 'Subdivisions' was released when I was 13 and remains my favorite Rush tune.
My fav song from Rush, because I identify with it. I didn't conform to this society.
I had a band in high school and played this song. Being naive at the time, I had no idea the song described me and my life exactly.
Me being quite a mature kid for my age in high school i never understood the need for everyone to show off how cool they were or how fucking badass they looked when they were all reckless and smoking and drinking and shit. I absolutely hated all of that and for that reason i always felt like a complete outsider to everyone else and was constantly picked on. Even my friends at the time started to ignore me and bully me which lead me to almost commiting suicide. This song hits so close to home. Hang in there all of you who have been bullied, you are the most amazing people
In my high school back in the early 80's they held an assembly which had the theme of "Battling Peer Pressure". As part of the assembly they had a multimedia presentation that featured "Subdivisions". It was absolutely AMAZING!
One of my fav songs all bands included. The music is awsome, the lyrics is awsome! Thx for this!
So now this one is one a my favorites from you guys. Wow. Very genuine and when you guys were motionless, it was touching and honest.
I am SO GLAD I found your channel. I just love how authentic and beautiful you both are. It's just so great to watch people's response to hearing this awesome music I grew up with. I wish more kids in high school today could hear it.
Only been watching for a few weeks, but this song seemed to get Rich right in the heart. :) Love u guys !!!
Watching the music video of this takes me back to that time, where I was the kid in the video... even when I first listened to this song in 1983, it struck a chord in me that very few songs have been able to do, to the point where I personally identify with it.
I could tell by watching you both that you two went to different places through the song.
Rich...you summed it up perfectly. This song is in my Top 3 of RUSH. Also, this song solidified you two as my new favorite reaction channel. I rarely watch TV anymore. I listen to music, read, and play the drums. Thank you for your time putting these videos together. I look forward to seeing you both, hopefully, for a long time.
Love it... I'm a Mexican born
My lady is chinese......we love rush...
Can't get better than this
Rush is actually part or our life
You guys are fantastic! Kel is exceptional because of her incredible ability to listen with so much emotion! Rich, you are a good and fortunate man as well and hope your son will live in this music forever!. I am now a devout follower, thank you!
Thanks for your heart felt thoughts God has truly blessed you both to have each other. And the music is great also.
Thanks guys for sharing!!!
greetings from New Orleans gang , great analogy of the song and it’s one of my all time favorites that will never get old
Been loving your channel since I discovered it a few days ago. I have been a fan of Rush since I turned 6 in 1979. I will be 46 next month. For me, like most Rush fans will tell you, they are the soundtrack of my life. I was blessed to have parents that embraced my Rush fandom at an early age. If I look back on my life, I can point to a Rush album that was the album which helped shape me at that point. They are the reason I am a musician today and I owe so much to that band. I know you get lots of requests and a couple of Rush tunes to check out that will stir your emotions are Losing It from Signals and The Garden from their last album, A Clockwork Angels. With that said, the one song that always stirs my emotions is Time Stand Still; not because it is my favorite song (that would be Limelight), but because my mother loved to listen to that song. She kept a cassette of Hold Your Fire in her car and we'd listen together. She passed in 2008, so hearing that tune, always gives me goosebumps and I always feel like she is with me when I turn it on. Hope you go to see Dream Theater on the current tour. It is epic to see them live. I'll be at the Beacon Theater on next week for their show. Anyway...you two are awesome. Much love.
I *love* the video for Subdivisions! It's absolutely perfect!
A subscriber for a while but had not watched this one because I know the song so well. Wonderful reaction. Keep it up!
Awesome!!!!! I have ALWAYS loved Rush... Listened to them back on Exit Stage Left al the way to Power Windows and such.... My fave song on that album tho is Countdown. I was there when Columbia first flew.
YES AND RUSH WAS IN RED SECTOR A THE VIP SECTION - THATS WHY THEY CALLED A SONG RED SECTOR A CAUSE THEY WERE VIP'S RUSH AT THE COLUMBIA TAKEOFF SHUTTLE SEATED IN THE RED SECTOR A SECTION - TRUE STORY
It such an incredible song, i loved, and it´s amazing to see your love for the music and between each other. greetings from Argentina!!!
I had that same feeling when i heard Mystic Rhythms.....HEY !!! HERES AN IDEA ..PLAY MYSTIC RHYTHMS ..I KNOW ITS A SHOT IN THE DARK AT THIS POINT BUT ..it is what it is ...good request LUCAS !!!..woooo hooooo !!!!
God gives everyone gifts, these three are some that knew them and used them the way they where intended. Great examples of sharing God's gifts and love. Thanks brothers.
Your channel is amazing in that you, Kelli, are experiencing for the first time, in a very brief period of time, my entire lifetime of music experience! All this music (and you're just scratching the surface) came out in steady waves over decades. Highs and lows, bands, producers and record labels experimenting and competing to give us a thrill. I sure hope your videos inspire others to get digging!
We so appreciate your words. It truly is a thrill for us as well. Each time we turn the Camera on, it really does feel like we can feel everyone with us. I never thought that would be possible but there it is. This whole experience has improved an already magical mating to new levels of bliss and interest. Thank you for being such a great part of that and please keep checking in with us and contributing in anyway that you feel moved to. If you ever want to send me a message, my email address is Richgafter@gmail.com. Later! Rich.
You two, as for your strong bond, Rush, "Closer to the Heart!"
Or "Counterparts"
It's a joy to see people discovering the music that one love, sharing his love for music with... LOVE. Thanks you from Artgentina!
I just discovered your channel and just wanted to say thank you for the videos. I am enjoying them very much and can't wait to see more! You seem like cool genuine people and your attitude and way you appreciate and look at and feel the music is inspiring to watch. Thanks guys. From Australia!
Well HELLO over there from K and I!@!! We are so glad you found us...about time:-))) Kidding ...3 weeks in...that's all. Request some songs for us! Big love from South Florida @Tommy O. Later!!!!
@@Kel.N.RichReactions Thanks guys! look forward to more. \m/
You two are a breath of fresh air, thank you, RUSH FOREVER!!!!!
Great song and Rich you summed it up perfectly about the subject👍🏻👍🏻
I was going to request this, it is my favorite song by them it reminds me of my youth in many ways. You hit the nail on the head with this one so when you wake up you can do my other favorite Lime Light! You know you want to do it come on
You the nail right on the head! This song is absolute perfection!
You two are beautiful people. I love watching every video. I discovered you both so late, I doubt I'll ever catch up. But man! This song! I'm in your generation 42 in three days and that song when I first heard it was a revelation! I was the outcast the different one, the handicapped artsy emotional kid. And so an easy target for the bullies and far too young to realize then that so many of them targeted kids like I was because they had their own damage and didn't know how to deal with it constructively. So this was another song that made me think "Oh my god! Someone really gets it!" Love it. Thanks for your great reaction to this wonderful song.
Lovely reaction, and LOL at the story at the start. Lerxst's solo in this always gives me goosebumps. It's one of my favourites. Me and a friend travelled from the UK to see them in Calgary and Vancouver in 2015 and the solo almost reduced me to tears because I kept thinking "This is the last time I'll ever see them play this". Signals was the first of their albums that I bought on the day it was released, and it was also the first tour I saw them on in 1983, so it will always hold a special place for me. Thanks for reacting to it.

Now for Keeper of the Seven Keys :)
This song speaks to really almost everyone in life. The words in the back is a nice touch. Seeing 2 people dig it, one for the first time is cool beans. The power of RUSH.
Well, Kel n Rich, grats to you both. I'm lucky enough to have found my mate too, after a whole bunch of trying.
'Subdivisions' is one of the soundtrack songs of my life. I can honestly say that 5 of the best minutes of whole life were in 1982, when I ripped the cellophane off 'Signals', loaded it into my Walkman, and my mind just *exploded* .
Welcome to the wonderful world of music without autotune :)
You guys look exactly like i feel when i listen to it. I feel like building something. Thank you for the vibe. Night night.
They played this song on nearly every tour they went on from 1982 when it was released and I've never gotten tired of it having seen every tour since 1982 until the finale in 2015. Some songs like 'The Trees', 'Tom Sawyer' and even 'Limelight' I had tired of from tour after tour (not that any were bad songs, obviously), but this one is just so well constructed and such a period piece that spoke to me as a confused, skinny 12 year old kid, that it's never lost the impact it had on me.
omg...that might be the funniest shit ive seen in a minute...love your guys work...keep it up ")
God, I feel so old. Got this on vinyl and proceeded to wear the grooves straight off the record while living what this song was talking about. Malls, cruising, smoking blocks and the burbs
You are amazing guys! I was going to bed too (3:00 a.m in Brazil), so this was a draw Lol. #RushDeserves
Haha. Hell yeah man.
In a word. Awesome!
I loved to see how much Kel loved this song!!!
dude .......i teared up myself .....such a great song
My fave Rush jam.. Takes me back to being a 6 yr old kid again..
You must to love music for real! You react lots of the best music I ever heard. Thanks to remind us how great all that music was and still.....
One of my top ten favourites of all times. Never get tired of it.
I can see it like it was yesterday, me walking into my third grade class near the beginning of the school year in 1982 with my Rush Signals album art notebook locked in my trusty blue Trapper Keeper. I still remember a girl from my class commenting on the cool Dalmatian on the cover...mostly because she like dogs, and thinking how cool I was.
"Subdivisions" is still my all time favorite song from Rush. I listen to it at least once a day...and every time, it makes me smile. Guess what, Kel-n-Rich...I'M SMILING RIGHT NOW. Thank you.
Growing up in Willowdale and going to Northview Heights makes this song my favorite of all time. Without even realizing it I lived this song in my youth. Always craming into my buddies Mustang and driving up and down Yonge St on Friday night and going to Video Invasion hanging out trying to be cool in front of the girls. Geddy and Alex lived it.
Wonderful everything...period.Even the lyrics are genius.So much music...I agree that this may be a perfect song.
It always does the world good to see two people who love each other so much :) Peace!
😁😁😁...Love you guys...
Signals was my 2nd concert(golden earing opened) and still my most memorable .it was so awesome.sure miss neil.
This is my all-time favorite Rush song. Perhaps cos it's one of the first ones i heard form them ever, and it was during a much simpler (albeit more painful) time in life (mine, and in general). The one good thing the made existence tolerable was music.
My absolute favorite Rush song of all time, and there are LOTS of great Rush song. Brilliant on multiple levels. Glad to see others are moved as much by this as I am.
One thing i will say about you two is that she really digs you. I watch her eyes so close and see every reaction she does and i have have come to a conclusion ' she truly loves you with everything she is' God you are blessed my friend and i know you return every bit of love back to her. Love feeds love. Hate feeds hate. Need more love in the world.
I had my teen years in the then suburbs of Agincourt north of Toronto and damn this song since it was released rings deep... I lived on the east side of Vic Park and Lifeson was just as subdivided on the west side in willowdale.. So much depth and true meaning..
Y'all are so cute together enjoying a classic. Forever Rush!!!
Really miss your reactions!!
Awesome reaction!👍👍 my favorite new channel😎🙏😎👍👍👍♿♿👍👍you two are great!!! My mood actually got better watching your reaction videos 👍🙏♿♿👍👍 I'm depressed a lot! (Because of my broken brain lol) but I try not to be depressed so much, and I still have my weird sense of humor 😲 and things could be worse!!!👍👍👍
You are correct. There are perfect songs. This is one of the few. My eyes; the lump in my throat; perfection.
Subdivisions is amazing, transcendent, but it almost feels incomplete to me when it doesn't lead right into those stellar chords from Analog Kid. You move me you move me. Do Analog Kid!
Great review, keep em coming. On the same Signals album is the song "Countdown". Since you're from Florida, and the song is about the Shuttle launch, it would be great if you two react to it.
Very cool and special song. Just listen while watching a launch. Goosebumps.
My favorite Rush song...so poignant and impactful.
One of Rush's social commentaries. I love the message in Trees. All of this, on top of incredible musicianship.
Indeed, a masterpiece.
Havent heard this since my early 80s,in teen,great one,i was awed by it because i thaught it was a spacecraft song,so glad to hear it now again 15 may 2020,thanks kel n rich👌
this song has givin me chills along time!cant wait till she hears analog kid!
_Subdivisions_ is definitely one that dug in deep from the very first time I heard it.
I feel you on your point at the end. So much music, only so many hours in a day. Now get to bed! :D
"Losing It" off of Signals. Try that one.
Amazing song. The whole Signals album is underrated comparing to Moving Pictures and other famous stuff.
@@Alex_Alx a great album. My intro to late night Rush. A very introspective album.
Alex Alx, Signals suffers a bit from juxtaposition, following two stellar albums.
My favorite
I get great joy, from seeing Kel exploring and experiencing some of the music that makes up the heart and soul of my musical being. Rush, Queensryche, Iron Maiden.... those were at the core of my musical coming of age.
Music wads, and still is as much a part of my life as breathing.
The musical brilliance of Rush is astounding. And another great, 3 man band from Canada... that it's possible Kel hasn't yet experienced...#Triumph
Two specific songs to check out, if you've not already done so, #MagicPower and #FightTheGoodFight
Like Rush, Triumph is just as good, live, as they are in the studio. Very tight.
Give then a try, if you haven't, already.

And, speaking of 3 man bands...a little band from New Orleans that never really made it big. Well, big, in the same way Rush did.
#Zebra...2 of my favorite songs... #WhosBehindTheDoor #TellMeWhatYouWant
Sorry, but your TH-cam channel has awakened the musical beast, in me.
My apologies, up front, if I get carried away, and bug the hell out of you two, with a barrage of suggestions. 😳😊😎
The first tour I saw RUSH....2nd soldout show in Houston, Texas. saw every tour except Roll the Bones after that up to R40.
For the reasons you stated about peer pressure, it"s why some much of their music is timeless.
One of my favorite songs ever
My favourite Rush track. Many thanks.
Great opening to this masterpiece...
And I guess this song is my childhood.
- signed, a kid of the 80s
I have loved RUSH since before I started playing drums as a teenager. This song is my SECOND favorite after Limelight. BOTH songs spoke clear understanding into my life as a teenager about how the isolation I was feeling personally had to do with the fact that I was a little different from others because of my being a musician. This song spoke to me about my isolation and Limelight helped me see that my love of playing music was something that not everyone could understand, and that was ok.
This song reminds me sitting in the Lakeland Civic Center watching them on the signals tour big rush fan send so many times I lost track great song great band
I was 16 and would listen to Rush and this song with my best friend at his parents house. Except there were no parents as they lived 3000 miles away and left a mansion to my friends 19,18 year old sisters. I basically lived there 6 nights a week. It was fun but we both kinda knew that nobody really cared about us. All of our outsider friends thought we had the world by the tail. We were the cool ones in the basement bars in the backs of cars but it all was a bit hollow. Holed up in a bedroom at parties smoking weed playing God of who or who wasn't allowed. It was our only power over jocks and the Cheerleaders who only wanted to be your friends on the weekends.
