Every Rush song needs to be listened to a minimum of 5 times. Once just to listen to the bass, then a second to listen to the drums, next to listen to the guitar, a fourth just to focus on the lyrics, and then listen to the perfection of putting all together.

I think the song is largely describing Neil Peart’s feelings on religion and faith, particularly the right to choose how or who you want to worship, the celestial voice. Or you can choose no religion or faith at all, which is still a choice. The song is promoting free will to determine how you express your faith or not.

I trying to keep this as brief as possible. Have you seen The Matrix?...Choice. A few other tidbits for you two. Brad, Captain of my own ship...Seinfeld, Master of my own Destiny 😂😂😂😂. Lex, you have excellent taste in music, you are very insightful and expressive. Thank you both for your reactions. Almost forgot, all the music you're hearing is made by only three people.

You know heavy metal is Instrumentally better. The bass and especially the solos are insane compared to this. I love this band. But if you have truly listened to Metal then you would know instrumentally and even Vocally Metal is leagues above rock like this. The solos are insane, the bass is the true kick in the face, and the drums are out of this world in METAL. Listen to by “by demons be driven” by Pantera or “fairies wear boots” by Black Sabbath. Or hell listen to Nightmare by Black Sabbath. You won’t regret it

There are those who believe their fate is determined. Whether through religion or a belief in destiny. People believe they were dealt a raw deal or their path is predetermined. Rush is saying none of that is true and we should embrace freewill. To make our own path and live life on our terms. To make choices (or don't, which is a choice unto itself) and believe our choices have consequence. If people believe in destiny, what do any choices matter? I think it's a song about taking responsibility.
@sumonjamal1653
@sumonjamal1653 3 жыл бұрын
More like a song of self-declaration... Peart says in the lyrics that people are different w/ different circumstances - some have it hard, some have no choices in their lives... Others have their paths set for them and just follow a pre-ordained future or a 'higher power' of religions. Everyone has a choice, and even if they refuse to choose, that in itself is a choice to remain indecisive... But Peart emphasizes that as far as his life was concerned, he wanted his path to be his own... his freewill was an informed decision to make his choices between 'phantom fears' and 'kindness that can kill', for example... Only when his paths are clear with the knowledge that he has, will he make a choice. Not about responsibility... it's about truly knowing what to do and what the consequences of those choices are before you. Take Neil Peart's life - he was offered an audition w/ Rush, and he talked w/ his parents about what he should do; he was encouraged to go audition, and he got the gig... his other choice was working at the parts store and playing in local bands. Then, Rush were asked to record a 'commercial' album in 1976 or face being dropped by their label... and they chose to ignore everyone and record the album '2112' which they felt very passionately about. And then again in 1979, they could have stayed w/ the epic prog rock sound, but chose a new path incorporating British 'new wave' music for this album 'Permanent waves'... None of those choices were easy for Rush... but they went w/ their freewill. Even a man in prison has a choice before him... he can use the time he has to do something positive, or he can cause havoc while incarcerated, or just mope and feel sorry for himself... It is better than say, a man who is suffering from dementia and is robbed of his freewill...

Calvinism was a religion that believed everything was predetermined, including whether we were "saved" or "damned", from the moment of our birth. They had two terms for the people who were saved or damned: "elite" and "preterite". A Calvinist had no idea what group he was in until the moment of his death, and your earthly actions had no effect on your final judgement. I believe they have since died off (most people want a religion that makes a lot of promises).

Neil isnt saying its not true. Hes just observing the differences in peoples beliefs. He says YOU CAN choose to believe in a higher power and that everything in your life is preordained. And thats ok. He personally chooses to reject that. Hes not saying either way is right or wrong. But he is sort of mocking religious people in a couple lines, or pitying them. Nothing new for him. We know he looked down on religious types. He wrote an entire album about it. Snakes and Arrows.

The song is basically about people having free will, and thus being responsible for their circumstances. It was critical of people who blamed fate, or some Godlike entity for their problems. I believe Rush (especially Neil Peart) were influenced by the works of Ayn Rand who advocated independence, and personal responsibility, among individuals.
@katskillz
@katskillz 3 жыл бұрын
great work of art, philosophical fail since Peart had no clue or didn't know how to address soft/compatibilist determinism -- which absolutely does not deny volitional agency and hence moral responsibility. In fact one can only and ever choose according to one's most powerful preferences and desires, hence personal responsibility, while choices still being consistent to pre-determined outcomes. Harry Frankfurt has writings on this.

Been loving this tune ever since it first came out and in fact I even saw them play this live before it came out on album. Back in the day Rush would bring out a couple of new songs every now and then. What a great treat that was. Seen them live 34 times over the decades starting in 1976.

To follow up on that - there are those who blame others for their problems, poor decisions, and plain old shitty luck. The choices you make lead to those outcomes as well. You've got to make your own luck in choosing your own path - be prepared, be smart, be informed. "Blame is better to give than receive" - the mantra of those who refuse or are unable to accept constructive criticism. It's always someone's else at fault... not yours.

The solos from metal bands has demons rising from the earth and satan worshipping the solos from down below from how perfect and “face melting” metal solos are.

I think there is just one guitar. It's my understanding that Rush did not record music that the 3 of them could not play live. Rush had only Alex Lifeson playing guitar, and he has said that his solo in this song is hard to play.

@@richardcumber5476 Are you trying to tell me that Alex Lifeson used a digital looper pedal in 1979? No, he played the solo and at 3:41 in the song, when the guitar starts playing the chords part, it is a different guitar track. He plays those chords and then the other guitar comes back in to play the upper register single notes. You can still hear the other guitar part playing lower in the mix keep playing. Alex just had to combine those two parts when he did the solo live. Don't believe me, listen to the studio recording in headphones and listen for the second guitar to keep playing.

@@JPMadden They played it live, Alex just had to combine the to two parts when he played them live. For reference, listen to 2112. There are rhythm guitars all over that song during times that Alex was soloing. He couldn't play those parts and solo at the same time. When they did it live, he played the solos. For the freewill solo, listen to it and when it gets to 3:41 in the song, and Alex is playing the chords in the solo, that is the second guitar, and it keeps playing, like Alex is trading off the chords part with the searing upper register single notes part. Listen to it closely, in headphones if you can, and you will hear the second guitar playing underneath the higher guitar. The recording engineer/mixer is just raising and lowering each part in the mix.

In this episode of Brad & Lex, the deep vocals coupled with other easter eggs included in this 1980 cut indeed embodies the spirit of radio. Brad will give us his signature "side to side sway" as Lex invests a bit more in the stock of this brand by displaying an array of "bops"...."suddle bops", "air guitar bops", "drummer bops" and "over the top bobble bops" before claps and the word "bass" leaps from her. Brad becomes a paper guitar believer while seemingly analyzing the effects even after the "rush" is over.

I had the VERY same conversation in my head as Lex! The paradox come contradiction that 'free will' somehow stands outside of other people's choice making. Technically choosing to let others decide for you is still an exercise in free will. And reacting to what others do is technically allowing yourself to be influenced by someone else's decision making.
@promontorium
@promontorium 3 жыл бұрын
Yes. Which is the point of the song. When he says "I will choose freewill" he's not talking about his choices, he's talking about his belief in the efficacy of his choices. You can choose to believe there's gods, fate, magic, etc. He's choosing to be in control.

It's called Channel Fades. In the mix of mastering, recording engineers will take the guitar track and fade it back and forth between left and right channels. It sonically creates depth and space in the sound. In this recording Alex over-dubbed a second guitar while Getty's Bass and Neil's drums were single dubs.

I’ve heard astronomically better solos in METAL. Rock solos can only go so far but metal solos are sooo much better to the point you’ll realize the solo in this song is average. I definitely wouldn’t call it incomparable. The solos from metal songs will have demons rising from below to worship the sound humans have created with metal, All the while melting your face in the process. Like it’s crazy to me Rock fanatics worship these bands instrumentals meanwhile Metal bands have wayyy better solos, drums and bass sound. Lol so fascinating
