| "This song 'grows in stature' at each listen." I could not agree more. | |
| Rush – Limelight Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I agree. I absolutely love it. | |
| Rush – Different Strings Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I see this song as possibly being about two(or more) types of relationships: 1. A long-term relationship in which two people truly love each other, but their differences have made it very difficult and inharmonious, yet for the distance created by it, their bond and love for each other remains. It's hard to tell if they are still together, but the line: "but there are times for you and me when all such things agree," seems like an indication that they WANT to remain together & get along in the face of the "differences." "different eyes see different things different hearts beat on different strings." The above line about differences reminds me of when the emotional security within a relationship is shaken by realizing that as years have gone by, they have changed and where they maybe both once agreed about virtually everything now have strong differences of opinion about individually important issues and their once simple relationship became very complicated. "What happened to our innocence, did it go out of style along with our naivete no longer a child"... Yet, on a positive note, "but there are times for you and me when all such things agree." 2. I could be alone in this, but I have a very close friend that I've known since 3rd grade. We grew up together, listened to Rush albums in his room for years, played in bands together, etc. Best buds, right? Well, since we've gotten married and are raising kids, we have our differences, and we very rarely talk but there's a bond there still that in spite of that, when we call each other up once or twice a year it's as though we've been together all along. And if I put that song on in his presence, we'd just look at each other, smile & nod, having a mutual understanding of how our friendship (totally hetero) is reflected in the song - "nothing to explain, it's a part of us, to be found within a song." Point being, this song could apply to relationships that are non-gender specific and platonic in nature. |

| Queensrÿche – I Dream In Infrared Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This was the song that got me stuck on Queensryche, back in the day. This song, evidently about someone losing someone they love - experiencing them becoming emotionally distant, "I even feel alone when you're near, cuz you, never understand." But it's hard to identify to this song now after being very happily married for nearly 20 years now! | |
| Savatage – Strange Wings Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think it's some Fantasy art piece come alive in the form of a guys dream - can't remember the artist but he paints female figures of unbelievable quality in various poses & backgrounds - many of which are on a dragon, or black panther or something like that....? You can spot his books in most large bookstores. | |

| Although I loved so many of Rush's songs, this song has always been my favorite. For me, the meaning of the song isn't so important as the different, subtle musical nuances within the songs chorus. I play several instruments, so what sticks out to me within the chorus is I LOVE the clean guitar part there; what Neil is doing and the synth parts. Although I love this song from a musically analytical standpoint, it does touch off a lot of emotions and memories from growing up (and older) with this song since first hearing it when I was 14... | |
