-Canadian rock band formed in Toronto in 1968. The band went through several configurations before settling on its classic power trio lineup in July 1974 and remained intact for the band’s career.
-Received commercial success in the 1970s with Fly by Night, 2112, A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres.
-Known for their musicianship, complex compositions and eclectic lyrical motifs drawing heavily on science fiction, fantasy and philosophy.
-Their style changed from blues-inspired hard rock to progressive rock, heavy synthesizer rock in the 1980s and then returning to the guitar-driven hard rock at the end of the 1980’s. Their final work from 2012 marked a return to progressive rock.
-The members have been acknowledged as some of the most proficient players on their respective instruments, with each winning numerous awards in magazine readers’ polls over the years.

-Released in 1980 from their album Permanent Waves.
-Lyrically, the song is a lament on the change of FM radio from free-form to commercial formats during the late 1970s. CFNY-FM did NOT abandon free-form programming and in that regard is the inspiration for the song.

I’m pretty proud of this one! Making this video made me appreciate this song so much more than before. I have to mention, I didn’t find out until a couple of days ago when the creation was well underway, that someone has recently released a compilation of this. I normally try not to post songs that people have done recently but as you guys know from my poll on the community page, I’ve been planning this one for almost 2 months. I started working on it casually in April of this year. So I mean no disrespect to anyone by going ahead and releasing this one now. Big thanks, as always, to you guys… the viewers. You guys are fantastic! 💜 A few new things I heard that I never noticed before: 1. Bells or steel drums during the reggae sections 2. Ting ting ting of the triangle throughout (also the bell of a cymbal at parts) 3. Slight whispering behind a couple lines of the chorus I HIGHLY RECOMMEND: ONUKA (Ukrainian artist who I recently discovered and she is AMAZING!) “Time”: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWWmpKqmbNigh5I “ZENIT”: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGitZXuLn5t-pZI

[@heatheradair7338]

Excellent job on this - can you imagine how difficult it would have been for Rush to get air play in the 1980s especially with a song that lightly criticizes radio. Their success, as they have often mentioned, is due to their very loyal fans.

[@KenWins1]

There is an undeniably valid reason why Rush is so respected worldwide by musicians of all levels

[@BIGBLOCK5022006]

Rush knows how to deliver the goods.

[@tomperugini189]

Well said

[@delphi-moochymaker62]

Just for context, I grew up a few blocks away from Geddy Lee back in the day. This song was a direct reference to a local independent radio station that broadcast from Brampton Ontario in the '70's. CFNY 102.1 their slogan was "CFNY - The Spirit of Radio" they had no playlists. They played obscure underground music of all types. No corporate rock. The different music breaks were referencing this, as they had a Reggie DJ as well who had his own segment. Rush loved them. Peace.

[@sarascarpati887]

Cool!

[@domenicgalata1470]

They were still doing interesting things in the late 80’s early 90’s, playing rock bands that were under the radar from the UK and North America, embraced the club scene and underground rave scene in Toronto at the time. Deadly Hedley was a great DJ at the time and if he liked a song he’d give it another spin and say “ So Nice We Have to Hear it Twice” with a slight Jamaican accent and it was always a big tune if not at the time than a month later. Good times.

[@yyz4761]

We had two independent radio stations where I live back in the day and they were both college radio. Two really different formats. One had regular dj’s playing a more freeform format and the other station were college students filling in for an hour or two sometimes three. We had a black and white uhf television station that played music videos at least two years before anybody ever heard of mtv. All these independent stations really broadened my sense of music appreciation and awareness. I’m really lucky to grow up back then

[@MichaelSmith-xb5cp]

@yyz4761 was that Muchmusic? Or a forerunner....I could DX sometimes, clock in MuchMusic videos from CANADA all the way out in Cleveland. In the US, we had community or listener supported radio as well as college stations. The community radio were run by a board of volunteer governors, and they usually had large libraries of real vinyl, especially reggae, but also classical, to punk to old blues, and barbershop quartet. I dont know how many are still in operation now. These would be dream places to sample from like they do in today's dance music, but that technology didn't really exist back then. Commercial radio probably doesn't have vinyl libraries at all nowadays. WMMS Cleveland broke RUSH in the states after they played "Working Man" which became a gianormous hit locally.

[@gusgodwin1128]

Only 3 individuals made this music. True Virtuosos. RIP Neil. Read Geddy Lee's new book.

[@LotsaFails]

Holy shit that Aladdin edit was fire. That’s like Dark Side and Wizard of Oz shit right there. So perfect

[@WonderMommaOG]

I was worried what you guys would think about that part! Perhaps a future endeavor... Classic badass songs to famous Disney scenes. 😂

[@LotsaFails]

Brings tears to my eyes watching the younger generation appreciate the same music I liked.

[@lesjones2656]

To Andy and Alex I was 18 when this song came out. I'm 61 now and it still blows my mind it has staying g power that will never end. It does my heart good to see people finally get it about rush. There musicianship is unmatched.

[@mikeonthebayou]

It’s a timeless classic, full stop.

I was 12 years old 😂

[@johnord684]

@@Rosaesombrero I was 13 and had seen them twice lol

[@yyz4761]

I was thirteen at the time. FM radio was simply magic back then. This was the first song that I ever heard from Rush and I’ve been a fan ever since. Imagine hearing The Spirit Of Radio on the radio for the first time

[@larrywelchko6136]

Alex Lifeson, one of the best gutarists ever, Getty Lee one of, if not the best bass player ever, and Neil Piert, the greatest drummer ever. Together the most under rated band ever. Thank you Canada for these guys

[@jasonagenda3638]

Momma. This was a masterpiece! I'm in my late 40s and seeing the joy of these younger people experiencing Rush just made ME start crying. It's like the joy of it over powered me. Simply amazing. You deserve all the subs and likes in the world. Thank you. Highlight of my day.

[@WonderMommaOG]

😊 thank you Jason!

[@5foot2eyesofblue13]

I have literally been rocking out to Rush since my mom went to see them in 1990 when she was 7 months pregnant with me. I love watching people experience Rush for the first time. I was lucky enough to see them twice before they retired.

[@edanielgreen]

I'm in my mid-'60s and I feel the same way! 🤗

[@davidgee0774]

Just done the exact same thing so I obviously feel the same way!!!!! Being a drummer and growing up listening to Rush, then watching these kids getting excited over the same song/band 40 years on…. WOW!!! What a great video…. Love it x

[@user-vn4eb5km8v]

Please go ahead and listen to more Rush, especially they're 70's records,so glad young people are learning about them

Three LUDICROUSLY TALENTED musicians, decades of brilliant music. Thank you gentlemen. RIP Professor, the best ever.

[@stevenvaccaro9657]

When I listen to RUSH ....So do my neighbors 👍💯...... greatest live band ever

[@garylagstrom3864]

RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR! With heart felt admiration and sincerity! Gary

[@WonderMommaOG]

Thank you for that informative description of Neil's style. I'm not sure if you've seen it yet but I did do a compilation for his Frankfurt solo... as a drummer you might enjoy that video as well. Apologies if you've already seen it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/laHLm5aYmbykgac Thanks again

[@yyz4761]

“Be cool or be cast out” great album!

[@MegaDerek56]

Rush isn't just a band. They were 3 world class musicians who inspired and loved their fans. By the way, the Aladdin clip was awesome.

[@joejackson4202]

Greatest band of all time. Untouchable.

[@garylagstrom3864]

RUSH: MASTERS OF TIME SIGNATURES: They don't sit down and say "Let's write in (x) time signature." They just write what they feel. Jacob's Ladder alternates between 5/4, 6/4 and 7/4, then 6/8 and 7/8. Limelight is 7/4 not 7/8. The middle of La Villa (A Lerxst in Wonderland) is in 7/8. Kid Gloves is in 5/4 for the intro and verses and 4/4 for choruses. The Trees starts in 3/4, moves into 4/4 and the solo section is 5/4.

[@mil2k11]

First Rush tune i really got into. I was working as a newspaper carrier and just bought boom box after 3 weeks of working. Permanent Waves on cassette is what I bought with my first paycheck.

[@philstone3859]

Spirit of the Radio is one of my top 5 songs of all time and I revisit my obsession with it every few years. I've been amazed at how many reaction videos have been made for this song over the last year or two, when the song is over 40 years old. You put together a spectacular collection of reactions. A song that effortlessly makes me smile is (finally?) getting the recognition it deserves. Thank you for this.

[@urex1717]

We did not dissect the music. We just heard it and loved it. Our radio stations would play this and Earth Wind And Fire and we never ever distinguished. We just loved listening to music.

Three dudes. I recall Rush on the old Rockline radio show in the mid-90s. After being congratulated by fans on their new album (Counterparts, maybe?), Geddy Lee said, "Thank you very much. Now we need to learn how to play it live."

A Most Powerful Trio.

[@markstromberg1148]

I've often wondered what it is that makes reaction videos so entertaining. To answer, at least for myself, it is twofold: (a) first, it is about watching people experience the joy I had when I first discovered Rush and their greatness; and (b) second, it is about sharing what I've since learned since and helping them along in their future discoveries. What a tremendous tribute to the most beloved and, at once, underrated, band in history and one of their many great compositions! Thank you for this masterwork - about a masterwork!

[@tanyapokela9143]

My husband has been encouraging me for a long time to give Rush a listen but I guess I just never did. So glad I found your video, I am now checking out all their music, can't believe what I'd been missing!!Great video!!

To this day I'm still rocking out on stage in local bands & I must admit, Rush was the ONLY BAND EVERY ALBUM made me run home when I got they're new album at the time & grab my bass & want to learn not only every song they recorded but learn theroy time signitures rudements, the whole bass & music shabangabang. The greatest music teachers I ever had & they never knew what they did to that 14 year old kid back then ha ha.

[@donaldbraden2113]

These younger folks miss the radio point. It’s not that it was a new technology, it was a shared experience. I think the reason these reaction videos are so popular is it creates the illusion of the shared experience which is how most of us encountered music. We weren’t all running around with headphones listening to what suited our personal tastes every second of the day.

Absolute Fire Ms. Wonder! Another masterpiece! It’s crazy to think that during the mid 80’s I actually got a little tired of listening to Rush, they were everywhere, selling out stadiums for decades,however, seeing all these reactors react to songs for the first time makes me love all these songs even more than I did before! I know it’s a lot of work to put these together, but I (we) are grateful, and I (we) hope you never stop! Thank you Ms. Wonder!

I'm so relieved people are liking the Aladdin bit. I was nervous about it. lol Thank you so much.

[@IdleRider]

Thanks for the carpet ride!! I’ve heard TSOR thousands of times, but never saw Aladdin in my head. Love it

[@PaulBHartzog]

Thanks for the work you put into this. So great to see Rush affecting people !

[@curtjohansen5742]

I don't care what kind of music you can think of, nothing can match all the aspects of greatness that great hard rock can music does. It's the combination of musicianship, songwriting, and the ability to make a dead person wanna move that is the wonders of great hard rock music.

They recorded that song in 1979. Think about that for a minute. Nobody sounded like that 43 years ago and it still sounds fresh today.

[@troydavis705]

I love that so many different types of people love this song and Rush!

As the old reactor WEEBOO once said Its RUSH baby you did such a great job I had to hear it again

[@blairhaffly1777]

Whoo! Man that pumped me up. Made my evening, once again thank you Wondermamma.

This was an incredible compilation. This is my first time seeing your work but I am impressed. I liked the "making of" portion, it solidified what I already thought by the end of the After Thought Commentary, a lot of work went into this. And this on one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. Thank you for this. I have probably seen 1/2 of these reactors' video for this song, so now I know I can go find a few more. Thanks for posting this and I saw your pinned post...You have every right to be proud of this one!!

[@WonderMommaOG]

Thank you so much for the kind words. It's always nice to hear that people appreciate how much goes into these videos. I hope you find one or two more that you like as well. Welcome to the channel!

Just when you thought compilations of reactions to a song couldn't get any more meta, now there's the making of compilations of reactions to songs.

[@jamescastro5987]

[@user-kg2fz4xo2x]

Man I was lucky to be born in 1960, the music I grew up with was untouchable. Rock n Roll Baby!!!

Thank you so much! Excellent song selection

[@thomascerulli8013]

Simply Incredible Mash Up..What’s intrigued me about reaction videos. Is to realize they’ve never heard these songs before. And thanks to you, I’ve gotten turned on to so many other reactors channels. So your not only blowing me away. But opening new doors for me to discover so many younger people getting turned on. To the music of my Life. Thank You So Much, I Appreciate you and all your hard work. ❤️🙏💜

This song about the beauty of radio back in the days before the internet made every song available at any time has absolutely destroyed me with nostalgia. Plus it is just a fantastic song. Such a great video. I watched it twice.

[@douglaswaite9574]

This came out near the end of 5th grade. I was going through puberty and it was harsh year on me because I was the 1st boy in my grade to deal with it... at least I think I was. Also pretty sure that this song saved me. I recall distinctly playing it in my head in one of the classrooms near the end of the year and just feeling an unmistakable and remarkable feeling of uphoria and calmness... maybe because the lyrics talked of the struggle and the joy of something so wonderful as radio - and I loved the radio so much - and I understood that something so great is sometimes not easy to deal with... and so is life... so everytime I hear this song I get the same feeling of uphoria... 😄and then just a little bit of melancholy..🥺 So effing good. To this very day.

[@lancekeltner7]

One of my all time favorites. Nothing is better than watching it blow someone's mind for the first time. Watching it blow 20 people's minds for the first time? Chef's kiss. You got me subbed for life. I especially like how you show at the end now how you put these together. Mad skill picking those timestamps and lining it all up. Highest respect!

[@WonderMommaOG]

wow... thank you so much. Happy to have you, welcome! 💜
