#Rush #CygnusX1 #AFarewellToKings
Sorry if I was a bit distracted at the end, a gunshot went off upstairs (I'm at a hotel) so I was very worried there for a sec at the end. I don't know the details of what happened but if you listen closely towards the end of the song you can hear it
This is a epic story told in two parts, it’s incredible
RUSH ain't no joke.
I first saw Rush in 1975 when I was 15. They were touring with a band worth checking out; Nazareth from Scotland. "Hair of the Dog" is a banger.
Lots of Rush to explore and many other Bands. Progressive Rock is my favorite.
Enjoy 🎶🤟
Be Calm, be Strong and Carry On.
I fell in love with this album after I saw them perform it live. What a great prog song Cygnus is. It's so heavy! Book 2: Hemispheres is probably the most proggy thing they've done.
His voice could cut glass in his younger days
No lie detected. His voice is just mesmerizing in this.
Cygnus X-1 books 1 and 2 played together are the most epic 28 minutes of ear candy you will ever listen to. 😊
Heavy metal at its finest
What I've always liked about this one is how Geddy's vocals and the instrumental composition actually create the sensation of falling into a black hole; from Alex's wah-wah solo as the narrator becomes trapped in her gravitational pull, to the increasingly chaotic instrumentation as he continues his downward spiral, to Geddy's high note on the word "unending" as he crosses the event horizon AKA the point of no return, to the climactic moment when he is ripped apart by her immense tidal forces, everything is top-notch. Take care of yourself and your little one, and we'll see you in Book 2.

Book 2 is my favorite Rush Album and s masterpiece
Perhaps the coolest thing about this song is that it was written just a few years after the existence of the first black hole seen from earth had been agreed by scientific consensus. Keep in mind that this was a time before the World Wide Web or even cable TV news. Most of the debate on black holes could only be found in scientific journals. So, how did Neil Peart - who was then doing an average of 200 gigs per year and was therefore almost constantly on the road - manage to write intelligently about how it would likely feel to be drawn into a black hole?
That, my friend, is friggin’ amazing!
Sounds like Neil has a space obsession 😃 probably since he was a kid. You can tell the whole band likes scifi and science from the lyrics and song titles and the music for sure! I love it 👍
Book II, Hemispheres, is one of those songs that I could listen to on a continuous loop.
I agree
The amazing thing is when I saw a clip of Katy Perry’s band doing the beginning riff. Out of nowhere. Not a traditional hit song, this is a deep cut. Yes they were Rush fans!
Hahaha that's awesome. Prog is everywhere. Everyone just keeps it a secret that they love it I guess 😂😂
Farwell to Kings was their fifth studio album. It is too bad you were distracted as at the end of the song Geddy hits an incredible high note! Geddy's voice changed over the years. Our voices get deeper as we age and especially for Geddy as they toured so much in their earlier years that in later years he wasn't able to hit the higher notes like he did in his youth.
Hope you are safe and doing well.
Cheers
Sorry bout that! A gunshot literally went off upstairs. I didn't even know if I should post this because of it but here we are... Lol. Thank you for correcting me I thought it was earlier then that 😊🤣
@@L33Reacts Yikes, that's not good. I am glad you are all fine.
I would suggest listeninging to the
song again when you can. There is a lot going on in it and that last
note is off the charts.
Have a good one and I hope things are going well for you.
One of my favorite moments in music: "To soar-soar-soar-soar..." and then Alex and Neil drop the bomb...
The next part is side 1 of "Hemispheres", it's epic and the story is amazing.
Stay safe!!
Thanks bro will do! I'll check it out for sure because this was just awesome 😎
In Cygnus Book I the traveler entered the black hole (Cygnus X-1) in his ship the Rocinante (the name of Don Quixote’s horse - like Don Quixote, Rocinante is awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities) and the traveler’s body was destroyed and "every nerve was torn apart".
In Cygnus Book II the traveler's disembodied spirit passed into Olympus and he was made the God of Balance between love and reason.
I’m definitely more of an 80s Rush fan, but Rush are always great. And Geddy’s voice was so high…unreal 🙂
Dude his voice was nuts on this! He was soaring!
Yes Book two , Also By Tor and The Snow Dog , And Anthem early Rush classics
I like that your version has a extra dog yell element in the remix. It actually kind of works
You mentioned this was young Rush, paraphrase: "back when they were full of energy even though they went on for another 20 years."
Try another 38 years, actually, their last tour being in 2015. and that's if you start counting from this album, A Farewell to Kings from 1977, ignoring the first 4 albums! And if you think they didn't have the same energy 20, or even 40 years later, it's only because you are still new to Rush. Check out some songs from 20 years later and even from their last album, Clockwork Angels, released in 2012; 35 years later:
From 1993's Counterparts album, 'Stick it Out' and from 1996's Test for Echo album, 'Driven.'
From 2008's Snakes and Arrows check out 'Far Cry.'
And from 2012's Clockwork Angels album check out 'The Anarchist,' 'Headlong Flight' and 'Caravan.'🎸
Rush was known for their "concept songs" or what I like to call rock symphonies. The first example is probably 'Bytor and the Snowdog' off their second album Fly by Night. The next two came on their 3rd album, Caress of Steel. They were 'The Necromancer' and 'The Fountain of Lamneth,' the first to take up an entire album side (B). Then came the legendary '2112' off the album by the same name, which covered the entire side (A). That brings us to 'Cygnus X-1: Books 1 & 2', the first being the last song on Farewell to Kings and the second book the first song on the next album, Hemispheres.
After those albums the rock symphonies went back to only about 10 min. in length with 'Natural Science' from the Permanent Waves album and 'The Camera Eye' from the album Moving Pictures. That ended the ~10 minute or longer rock symphonies or "concept songs" until 2012's Clockwork Angels. Though all songs on the album are less than 10 minutes, the entire album is their first true "concept album," of a man's journey through life, living in a Steampunk world. It's the most "metal" sounding hard rock album they ever made yet still has a few beautiful songs on it as well, like 'Halo Effect' and 'The Garden.' They went out on top, IMHO, with the best rock album they ever did, the best rock album of all, IMHO.
Boom!😊
Cignus X-1 is the first widely accepted black hole discovered in the early 70's
I knew it was a black hole but I didn't know that. That's awesome. These guys love space 🚀 just like me haha
Don´t forget Neil is "The Professor", "The Human Metronome"
The next part is the Hemispheres album. Side one is all one track which is part of Cygnus X-1
Awesome reaction!! If you haven't already, you must do Cygnus X-1:Book 2. I think it's even better. See what you think.
My favorite album of theirs.
My request is I would like for you to react to the Jimi Hendrix song machine gun. It is off the band of gypsys album. You might want to listen to the rest of the album on your own it's something to behold
Great reaction!! This song is absolutely insane. 'From the beginning'?! This was album #5 for them, 1977 - they were in full-swing by this point, and due to the success of 2112, they could pretty much do what they wanted. 2 epic prog masterpieces on this album - this and Xanadu (not to undersell the other amazing tracks - A Farewell To Kings, Madrigal, Cinderella Man, and Closer To The Heart)
Indeed, they'd continue this prog mastery with the next album - Hemispheres. Book 2 of Cygnus, La Villa Strangiato, The Trees & Circumstances.
😄If you think Book 1 had a lot of tempo changes, Book 2 will keep your head spinning! Actually, Book 2 is both a prequel and a sequel IMO. Book 2 explains why the voyage to CYGNUS took place as well as the result of the voyage. There is a version of Hemispheres Book 2 that employs a Graphic novel that goes with the song, and it might be better to use that version when you get to that reaction! 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Think about creating this Cygnus X-1 book 1 to end the Farewell to Kings album...followed by Cygnus X-1 book 2 to begin the Hemispheres album... like 35 minutes in total put together. I mean who could even comprehend something like this, let alone actually create it
The second part is just a tiny little piece of filler on the next album that wraps up the story. Barely worth firing up, unless you want to react to one of the greatest 18 minutes and 8 seconds in the history of recorded music.
Holy shit I'm so confused 🤣🤣🤣
Is it the greatest thing ever or is it tinny little piece of filler lol
@@L33Reacts LOL, it's mindblowingly good, the whole of side 1, and when combined with the genius on side 2 you've got one of the best albums ever made. Ignore my poor attempts at trying to be funny 😄
Believe it - that is, the part starting by "unless you want to react to...". :D
As you're a drummer, I heartily recommend you check out Porcupine Tree. I'd say Fear of a Blank Planet is a good start. Their drummer, Gavin Harrison, is like a modern Phil Collins. Listen to the title track first, then check Anesthetize.
My friend, may I direct you to my PT playlist 😀 I've done both of those songs and a ton more. I just posted part 2 to my full album reaction to "Deadwing" and yes... Gavin is insane 😀
@@L33Reacts Ooops! My bad Lee. I just checked via the Lee reacts section on the right hand vids list, shuda checked your channel, which I will now do to find those. Thanx
If you can try to listen to it without distractions so you can fully take it in, but yeah I cut my Rush teeth on this album around '79/80 when I was only around 10 years old, that's right just a young whippersnapper just a punk kid😅
This is right in the middle of my favourite Rush run _(2112_ to _Permanent_ _Waves)_ - the fact that they left it on a cliffhanger is just so cheeky! I'm glad I discovered them after the next album came out and didn't have to wait over a year like the contemporary fans. For me, _AFtK_ and _Hemispheres_ is the best ever double album that wasn't actually a double album (followed by Jethro Tull's _Songs_ _from_ _the_ _Wood_ and _Heavy_ _Horses,_ released around the same time).
😁🥰🐰
As Chad Smith drummer for the Red Hot Chilli peppers said every drummer should study Neil Peart
"That dude's is trashed on that album cover. Holy sh*t!" - It's supposed to be a marionette 😄 If you look very closely, you can see the strings 😊

Listen to some Kingsx
The man on the cover is a marionette.
