Anthem Lyrics

Cover art for Anthem lyrics by Rush

This song is amazing. This song makes you realize how amazing Geddy Lee's voice is. Its so original, yet so amazing. He has such a unique voice but its unbelievable. I heard about how Rush dedicated some of their stuff to Ayn Rand and I would be very interested to read some of her stuff. I love Neil Pearts lyrics and themes so I would think I would like her type of work.

But this song is amazing, and I think the lyrics are good. I dont no what your talking about Brat Moj, but the meaning to me is your mind and heart will get you where you want to be in life. It's ok to be selfish sometimes becuase you should live for you. Strive for yourself, and do what you want to do in life. At least that is what I got from the song. I think the music is just amazing. Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson do a great job in this song....the beat is amazing and the ending just blows you away....I love it...No band will ever be like Rush...they are seriously one of a kind....

@steel07 thats interesting about Ayn Rand, I think I knew about that. I have idolized Rush over the years but I found out you got to be careful that your idols idols are not necessarily folks to be idolized. At least from what I gather about Ayn Rand. I don't think her ideas were anything special. ... http://activatecomix.com/162-1-1.comic

Brat's clearly thinks we should be one collective/hive, like a hedge row where the tallest branches are pruned to be the same height as the slower growing branches. A very unnatural condition.

Any Rand supported individualism, allowing people to fail or succeed based on their effort, talent, choices, etc. In her childhood in Russia, she saw the horrors of Comrade Lenin's tactics firsthand, all in the name of "the people". She escaped to the United States and spent the rest of her life promoting freedom and celebrating individuals. http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/socialism.html
