My favorite album by Rush is Permanent Waves, full of fantastic tracks ending with one of their greatest songs Natural Science. The best rock trio in our lifetimes. Great review, thank you.
My favorite Rush album is "Fly by night" from 1974. RUSH has been my fav ever since. Yes I'm old (54). It fills my heart with so much joy to see younger generations listening to and enjoying the classics.
Geddy and Alex write the music to go with Neil's lyrics. No one ever mentions the writing of the music! They could have written for movies, video games or musical theatre! Thanks for mentioning their masterful ability to compose and arrange. Rush fan from day one, 48 years ago. Although Peart wasn't with them yet, I knew these guys had that " something " that made the music stand out to me! I was mostly alone in my love of their songs after Neil joined the band. Their first album had John Rutsy ( not sure of spelling on his last name ) and was very Led Zeppy, BUT, then came Peart and the rest is HISTORICAL!
Peart and Lee are extremely smart, very well read, always give well thought-out answers in an interview. Lots of world experiences and very self-aware. Lifeson is more like the class clown, good sense of humor, good natured. However, you get him talking about his guitars, his other equipment and the music he’s written, he’s every bit a genius as the other 2 guys.
inauguably, One of the greatest masterpieces, This band has ever laid down.. I have been fortunate to see them 22 times in concert, And I didn't regret one show.
Love seeing you guys feeling this tune... The most endangered species, the honest man Will still survive annihilation Forming a world state of integrity Sensitive, open, and strong Neil was such a poet. He is sorely missed by all us crazy fans!!
Yes, Neil wrote probably 95% of the lyrics after coming to the band. And the whole "Rash" thing was the t-shirt Geddy wore during the "Time Machine" tour.
One of my favourite Rush songs! I saw an interview with them and they wrote this song in two to three days! 🤯 Neil was the main lyrist and he wrote this song as he did most. Neil once described drumming for Rush was like running a marathon and doing mathematical equations at the same time. I suggest The Fountain of Lamneth and you should see a live performance. Working man live in Cleveland You guys did this song way back and you should see how they revise it in their later years. More Rush please! Cheers
Give Jacob’s Ladder a listen from the same album. This album is my favorite. Freewill might have their best one minute of jam in all their songs. That 4th minute is epic from 3:01 to around 4:00.
Subdivisions is my favorite too. Some of the best bars Neil ever wrote, and some of his best drumming too! Definitely needs to be HWood and Smoke's next Rush reaction
Hey Fellas! Great reaction! I agree with Smokey in that one of the reasons I enjoy Rush is because of the journey of thought that I experience when listening to them. Especially in the lengthier pieces. Really appreciate that y’all give all artists and genres a chance here. I know we’ve got tons of videos to look forward to from this channel so I can’t wait to start getting y’all into some bluegrass, opera, and maybe even gospel music. 😂 kidding but ya never know. ✌🏻💛🎼
For my money A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, and Permanent Waves were the high point for RUSH. Moving Pictures is great, but these three albums immediately preceding it are incredible.
I was lucky enough to see these guys live in London in 1978....and I was blown away......I have been lucky to be able to have a lifetime of enjoying Rush music....true masters of their art.
I swear to God, now you guys know how I felt 42 years ago when I was 15 and this album first came out. We still haven't caught up to the meaning of this song. I loved your reaction!
Here are some more Rush songs to do: - "Far Cry" - "One Little Victory" - "Headlong Flight" - "Caravan" - "The Wreckers" Also, I know you already did Working Man and YYZ but you should do the live ones - "Working Man Live in Cleveland" - "YYZ Live in Rio"
Neil joined the band after their first album, and they said 'hey, Neil, you read so much more than we do, you try writing lyrics' and he was the lyricist ever since.
I know Neil could not have known it at the time, but " living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea" might now mean people sitting on their smart phones oblivious to everything, like zombies. The later lyrics, "science, like nature, must also be tamed" give you food for thought.
As a musician, i dissect everything about Rush and there’s so much. But it always amazes me to think Neil just writing.. reading.. writing.. reading. non stop, while playing the most amazing drums we’ve ever heard. And then pass a lyric page to Geddy and Alex and they create the whole song. incredible.
I think the members of Rush pronounce it as "Rash", I remember seeing them pronounce it that way on the Moving Pictures (their best album imo) live performance DVD. They performed the full Moving Pictures album in that show, you guys should check out some of Rush's live performances! Great reaction as usual guys! 🤘🤘🤙🤙
Favorite RUSH song! Great reminder that we are all part of one another and how truly unique humans are in the universe among billions (or trillions!) of galaxies.
Morning! I like this song! I love the beginning about the tide pool and it's own society..(and the words "our causes can't see their effects"... So true!!)...you should check out "the trees" by RUSH. I will say you go on a magical trip with rush while on shrooms. (I did that when I was younger and boy was it a trip...)their songs are such great stories! Well thanks guys!💜🤓
This is a great one! Neil Peart, the music MASTER! Awesome lyrics! One of my favorites. Yes! Neil writes most all of the lyrics. He was a true philosopher.
Natural Science was Alex Lifeson's favourite song to play live. Neil Peart was nicknamed "the" Professor by Geddy and Alex. Alex and Neil called Geddy "Maestro" and, yes, these were some very bright boys. I once read a critic's review which identified their music as "thinking man's heavy metal". They amused other touring bands by foregoing postshow parties to play chess in their dressing rooms. Neil was an avid reader, always with a book on the go. He was waaay into science fiction, which deeply informed his lyrics (2112, Red Barchetta, etc). As a kid too smart for the jocks and too athletic for the brains, I gravitated toward Rush, naturally, as they displayed the same dichotomy. I like a lot of music, but Rush is the band I truly love.
*Thank you for reading the lyrics. I believe it makes listening a richer experience.* *You guys are awesome and true music lovers!* #RushRules #RushOn 💜💫✌🏼🎵 #Love #Light #Peace #Music (Music = Joy)
to add to your comments on the end about not getting to the part where AI or something (our own creation) brings ourselves to an end. I think Neil alludes to that with "Wave after wave will flow with the tide, And bury the world as it does, Tide after tide will flow and recede, Leaving life to go on as it was." Whichever level of 'society' you are talking about - be it the tidal pools or our cities, or the Jurassic period, tides will flow and recede (extinction events), but life will always manage to go on. I don't think he means human life necessarily. To add to this, when the song comes in with the ocean, there are many birds singing. In the out-ro, the birds are gone.
I don't think there's anything borderline about it - just pure genius. You should read Neil's book "Ghost Rider" to get an appreciation for just how special he was. You guys are pretty bright too, btw.
I'm glad you guys took a listen to one of my favorite Rush songs! You've got to check out this song as an amazing cover from the "Working Man" Rush tribute album. It's got Devin Townsend on vocals doing his wild tribute to fellow Canadians!
Natural Science is one of my favourite Rush song. Permanent Wave - one of the underrated Rush albums - is one of my personal favourite Rush albums. There are just six songs in that album and each one a tour de force! Awesome! Good stuff, folks.
Hilarious intro bros ... Rush songs always great choices. Natural Science always been in my Top 30 favorite Rush Songs. There's just so many. We definitely need access to organic NATURAL SCIENCE WEED to decriminalize the process of acquisition.
Great reaction guys! I've been a Rush fan since early 80s. They were a major influence to my playing back then. 3-virtuosos. Wrote a college paper on Ayn Rand's influence on Neil's writing. Regardless...amazing songs and only these 3 could do it...wow! Never gets old!
I keep watching your reaction to this.....its great....you two are infectious viewing......almost comedy yet genuinely appreciative of the three geniuses your listening to......hey guys please react to "in the end" from the "Fly by Night" album......please i want to see that, you'll be blown away.
Check out DOG EAT DOG. you guys would like that. Songs like "who's the king?" Or "No Fronts". The whole "play games" record is dope. It's crossover, baby!😜 Try.
Hi bro's, i love to see your reactions to so many bands, to so many good songs ! I love to watch you and i enjoy every minit ! This song is realy great and i love it ! Greatings and love from germany ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Apologies if someone already shared this trivia. I skimmed a lot but not all comments. The album was recorded at Le Studio, Morin Heights, Quebec in the Laurentian Mountains. The studio was also near a small lake. Geddy's vocals were run through an amp outdoors and the natural echo off the mountains was recorded. The splashing sounds were made by Alex and Neil who were drawing oars through the waters of the lake.
My favorite Neil breakdown at 8:20 (which is saying ALOT). It just propels you into the next section of the song. If you think about it (and Neil assuredly did!), Our Galaxy is just a tidal pool that spun off from The Big Bang, and living in the pools, we soon forget about the sea. The permanent waves are echoed by the retraction of the GalaxE and then the next Big Bang ad infinitum! We come and go but are inevitably inconsequential…wheels within wheels…in a spiral array…is also our DNA. Plenty to explore here! Cheers!
Don’t forget. They were stoned when they played and wrote this music. The reason why we elevate them is because they were on another plane when the wrote it. Their minds expanded and when we listen to this, even 40 years later, we are there with them. Take that and add that their inimitable talent and you get the greatest most unique and expressive band in music history.
Ha Ha! That mellow opening got you! Lulled you into forgetting RUSH can fuck you up! Excellent song! Try Analog Kid sometime. Alex Goes OFF on it! Pretty much shredding.
That’s one of the, AND THEIR most bad ass songs ever. The music captures the mood of the lyrics, the jamming is like pre prototype thrash-without the down tuned instruments, and Cookie Monster vocals. They are playing their ass off, fast as fuck, and delivering a universally heavy and deep message. Only Rush baby, only one.🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎹🎤🥇🇨🇦🎼👌👍
"I wonder if it's another one of their stories"... Every Rush song is a story, or a lesson in morality, and a lesson in what a symphonic genius and virtuosos are about. There will never be another group of visionary musicians/ philosophers/ mathematicians / and an amalgamation of true art.
wow great song same cd play entre nous then the next song different strings.....i think rush n geddy lee had insight to the future... love their music🥳🥳😺🎶🎶☮☮♉
I like your take on the song. Myself, I see the tidal pool as a reflection on how we get engrossed in our own little worlds and forget about the big picture at times. The tide representing changes in society over time. Cool stuff indeed. I thing 'The Camera Eye' would be a good one to try out next or perhaps 'Jacobs Ladder'. Thanks for sharing!
THAT, my friends, is how you close an album. Arguably, Rush's greatest album closer of all time (Some will advocate for The Garden, but this is my all time favorite.) All three of them are banging on point from start to finish. I like how you picked up on the familiarity of the Permanent Waves section name, also the name of the 1980 album on which Natural Science is the final track. Absolutely brilliant and loved seeing you hear and enjoy it for the first time as I did back in 1980 when I bought the vinyl as soon as it came out. Such a killer song live in concert; check out the numerous live versions on TH-cam to see them play this challenging song.
You might be ready for Cygnus. Please do them together. It's a long listen but they mesh together and you'll be glad you did. Cheers guys. Appreciate all you do.
yes. please. this is a how a RUSK geek listens to it at home. take a rip and play the last of one album, and quickly change to the next to get the full story. and back in the day, ( way back), you would have the lyrics on the inside sheets that covered the vinyl. just sit…. listen….read… and forever be changed.
Helllllllll Yessssssssss!!!!!! Oh, sorry...great song. 😀😀😀 Permanent Waves from the start to the end. Every song a banger!!! P.S. I actually hired someone just because his first name is RUSH...Great parents.
🤘💪👍👍...well done... you are awesome guys. don't forget about system of a down(forest). you need to listen it.🤘💪💪💪💪💪 thank you for your incredible programs.
Hands down. Best band ever. Musical geniuses. Virtuosos on respective instruments. Never sold out. Neil is a beast!
Right except their concerts were always sold out!!
Dude i do get what you mean. 😆
My favorite album by Rush is Permanent Waves, full of fantastic tracks ending with one of their greatest songs Natural Science. The best rock trio in our lifetimes. Great review, thank you.

THANKS 4 TYPING THIS FACT
Seriously, guys..."Roll the Bones" is a great song and it has a special, WTF moment just for YOU.
Ha, yes, these guys will appreciate that song!! Good point
Absofrigginlutely !!
Definitely! Trust us, guys, trust us.
Neil Peart (RIP) was indeed the main lyricist for the band, and is credited for writing the lyrics to this song.
Peart and Lee are extremely smart, very well read, always give well thought-out answers in an interview. Lots of world experiences and very self-aware.

Great post.
Glad someone is finally giving Alex some love and the respect he deserves
inauguably, One of the greatest masterpieces, This band has ever laid down.. I have been fortunate to see them 22 times in concert, And I didn't regret one show.
The most endangered species, the honest man!
Written by Neil Peart, RIP. 1979. How true!
Love seeing you guys feeling this tune...
The most endangered species, the honest man
Will still survive annihilation
Forming a world state of integrity
Sensitive, open, and strong
Neil was such a poet. He is sorely missed by all us crazy fans!!
Yes, Neil wrote probably 95% of the lyrics after coming to the band. And the whole "Rash" thing was the t-shirt Geddy wore during the "Time Machine" tour.
As a bass player I love this song.
Grew up with Rush, one of my mom's favorite bands (if not her #1). Glad to see you guys touching on older stuff.
One of my favourite Rush songs!
I saw an interview with them and they wrote this song in two to three days! 🤯
Neil was the main lyrist and he wrote this song as he did most.
Neil once described drumming for Rush was like running a marathon and doing mathematical equations at the same time.
I suggest The Fountain of Lamneth and you should see a live performance.
Working man live in Cleveland
You guys did this song way back and you should see how they revise it in their later years.
More Rush please!
Cheers
Give Jacob’s Ladder a listen from the same album. This album is my favorite. Freewill might have their best one minute of jam in all their songs. That 4th minute is epic from 3:01 to around 4:00.
Neil does the drums and lyrics. Alex does the guitar, backing vocals, and some keyboard. Geddy does the bass, keyboards, and vocals.
Probably my favorite Rush song next to "Subdivisions"! Good stuff!
Subdivisions is my favorite too. Some of the best bars Neil ever wrote, and some of his best drumming too! Definitely needs to be HWood and Smoke's next Rush reaction
Subdivisions is in my top 3. One of the greatest songs ever.
Best drummer, hands down!
Yeah right after Danny Carey.
@@heidi82 wrong, who’s his idol?
Better than Damny? Cmon Unc
Hey Fellas! Great reaction! I agree with Smokey in that one of the reasons I enjoy Rush is because of the journey of thought that I experience when listening to them.

Ohhhh can't wait to checkout bluegrass or Opera
@@Hollywood6IX yeah, I’m sure there’s some options that would be at least palatable to the majority of trash talkers. 😂
We will probably never see another band like Rush. Beyond talented and incredibly unique.
Absolute Canadian royalty
For my money A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, and Permanent Waves were the high point for RUSH. Moving Pictures is great, but these three albums immediately preceding it are incredible.
It's about time you did some more RUSH !
I was getting restless 🤔
I was lucky enough to see these guys live in London in 1978....and I was blown away......I have been lucky to be able to have a lifetime of enjoying Rush music....true masters of their art.
I swear to God, now you guys know how I felt 42 years ago when I was 15 and this album first came out. We still haven't caught up to the meaning of this song. I loved your reaction!
Now you should check out the Necromancer as well! 🙂
Here are some more Rush songs to do: - "Far Cry" - "One Little Victory" - "Headlong Flight" - "Caravan" - "The Wreckers" Also, I know you already did Working Man and YYZ but you should do the live ones - "Working Man Live in Cleveland" - "YYZ Live in Rio"
Thanks for doing this one guys that's my favorite Rush song
Neil joined the band after their first album, and they said 'hey, Neil, you read so much more than we do, you try writing lyrics' and he was the lyricist ever since.
Wow. You have good followers to get you to do this song. From a loyal Rush fan since 1987, this is one of the gems. You did 2112 too! Hats off again.
I know Neil could not have known it at the time, but " living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea" might now mean people sitting on their smart phones oblivious to everything, like zombies. The later lyrics, "science, like nature, must also be tamed" give you food for thought.
You guys are so entertaining. It's like I'm hearing the song for the first time all over again! Rock on y'all!!
Dam, I absolutely loved your reaction to this too much !!! Love you guys, keep it up bros !
As a musician, i dissect everything about Rush and there’s so much. But it always amazes me to think Neil just writing.. reading.. writing.. reading. non stop, while playing the most amazing drums we’ve ever heard.

This and Jacob’s Ladder are my favorite RUSH songs
Glad you pulled lyrics version, but this live OMG:)
rush between the wheels
Y'all's 2112 reaction is by far my favorite reaction to that masterpiece! Please do more Rush!
I e been a rush fan for fifty years. This song and entre nous are two of favorites. Thanks for checking this out
Favorite RUSH song! Great reminder that we are all part of one another and how truly unique humans are in the universe among billions (or trillions!) of galaxies.

Natural Science is one of my favourite Rush song. Permanent Wave - one of the underrated Rush albums - is one of my personal favourite Rush albums. There are just six songs in that album and each one a tour de force! Awesome! Good stuff, folks.
Favorite Rush song is Subdivisions, but you should do YYZ and Manhatten Project at some point.
YYZ 😊 th-cam.com/video/bh1pyEWCjmI/w-d-xo.html
Nah, the only RUSH song actually about weed is 'Passage to Bangkok' from the 2112 album.
Great review / reaction to Natural Science. I was around when this came out 40+ years ago!!
I was and am a fan and amateur bassist since 1980.
Gotta be a genius to play that bassline and sing
I love that you were both so sucked in that you didn't even think of pausing to comment.
This is one of those gems that the super fan knows.
Hilarious intro bros ... Rush songs always great choices. Natural Science always been in my Top 30 favorite Rush Songs. There's just so many. We definitely need access to organic NATURAL SCIENCE WEED to decriminalize the process of acquisition.
There's an interview with them when this album came out. They are so baked during it especially Alex.
My favorite Rush song of all time. I LOVE all the transitions. ❤🎶🎸🥁🎹🎶❤️Rip Professor
pick up Rush in the 80's. so... my first listen start to end. had heard bits if it before tho. cool story line.
Great reaction guys! I've been a Rush fan since early 80s. They were a major influence to my playing back then. 3-virtuosos. Wrote a college paper on Ayn Rand's influence on Neil's writing. Regardless...amazing songs and only these 3 could do it...wow! Never gets old!
I keep watching your reaction to this.....its great....you two are infectious viewing......almost comedy yet genuinely appreciative of the three geniuses your listening to......hey guys please react to "in the end" from the "Fly by Night" album......please i want to see that, you'll be blown away.
Check out DOG EAT DOG. you guys would like that. Songs like "who's the king?" Or "No Fronts". The whole "play games" record is dope. It's crossover, baby!😜 Try.
You guys are getting much better at this stuff. Congrats.
Never heard of this song. Here we go...
You guys really need to check out:
Cygnus X1, and Cygnus X1 Book 2 Hemispheres.. Another epic story ala 2112.
Ya gotsta do it.
Hi bro's, i love to see your reactions to so many bands, to so many good songs ! I love to watch you and i enjoy every minit !
This song is realy great and i love it ! Greatings and love from germany ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Apologies if someone already shared this trivia. I skimmed a lot but not all comments. The album was recorded at Le Studio, Morin Heights, Quebec in the Laurentian Mountains. The studio was also near a small lake. Geddy's vocals were run through an amp outdoors and the natural echo off the mountains was recorded. The splashing sounds were made by Alex and Neil who were drawing oars through the waters of the lake.
It’s wild that I saw all these tours!
Looking back, I can hardly believe it.
My favorite Neil breakdown at 8:20 (which is saying ALOT). It just propels you into the next section of the song. If you think about it (and Neil assuredly did!), Our Galaxy is just a tidal pool that spun off from The Big Bang, and living in the pools, we soon forget about the sea. The permanent waves are echoed by the retraction of the GalaxE and then the next Big Bang ad infinitum! We come and go but are inevitably inconsequential…wheels within wheels…in a spiral array…is also our DNA. Plenty to explore here! Cheers!
Absolutely love your Rush reactions!!!
I'm so happy you found them
Been addicted for 50 years. A habbit I will never break 💔
Don’t forget. They were stoned when they played and wrote this music. The reason why we elevate them is because they were on another plane when the wrote it. Their minds expanded and when we listen to this, even 40 years later, we are there with them. Take that and add that their inimitable talent and you get the greatest most unique and expressive band in music history.
Subdivisions lyrics are great plus the beginning intro is 🔥
This just shows how much more music Rush has to offer!
Ha Ha! That mellow opening got you! Lulled you into forgetting RUSH can fuck you up! Excellent song!
Try Analog Kid sometime. Alex Goes OFF on it! Pretty much shredding.
Finally you guys are getting into the cream of the crop imo for Rush
Great reaction one of my all time favorite songs by them, drums are freakin ridiculous in this song
Love that you did this song. Huge RUSH FAN and this is one of my favorites. Check out Different Strings if you dig Natural Science.
Top 5 Rush song for me.👍
That’s one of the, AND THEIR most bad ass songs ever. The music captures the mood of the lyrics, the jamming is like pre prototype thrash-without the down tuned instruments, and Cookie Monster vocals. They are playing their ass off, fast as fuck, and delivering a universally heavy and deep message. Only Rush baby, only one.🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎹🎤🥇🇨🇦🎼👌👍
Smokey.. good point.. he didn’t get to society’s destroying each other but he did a quick passage..”A mechanized world out of hand”.
"I wonder if it's another one of their stories"... Every Rush song is a story, or a lesson in morality, and a lesson in what a symphonic genius and virtuosos are about. There will never be another group of visionary musicians/ philosophers/ mathematicians / and an amalgamation of true art.
Yes, GSP’s nickname is a tribute to Rush
Sending love for a dope reaction guys, as always.
Looking forward to what you have in store for the week.
Everyone, be safe and stay well!

wow great song same cd play entre nous then the next song different strings.....i think rush n geddy lee had insight to the future... love their music🥳🥳😺🎶🎶☮☮♉

Neil was officially a genius and it was a challenge for Geddy to sing some of his lyrics. They are musical gods
