Rush - Available Light

[@StephenAnthonyMusic]

From Rush's best yet most underrated album, Presto. NOTHING sounds like this. Nothing sounds like what they did from 1984-1989. It's simply glorious music!!

[@JeffreyWright-g1v]

EVERYTHING this band has created is NOTEWORTHY 💙🙏🙌👍

[@HesTNTonPMS]

This whole entire album is genius, the lyrics, the music, the arrangement, the time shifting the whole damn thing . . . when a song gives you the shivers you know it struck the right chord

[@7d7e7f7]

Presto is a highly intelligent Rush album hidden deep in their impressive discography.

[@katemurphy1915]

7d7e7f7 Yes, it is.

[@thomasmcginn795]

How did I mise this album Presto especially this great track.And I've got all thier albums.Class track.👍👍

[@AJAM69]

I truly would be lost without Rush, "Lost in a world on my own..."

[@BigLotz15]

This is the greatest song never heard. In my opinion, the best, most emotional piece off of Presto and one of Rush's best. It's a shame that this song isn't very well known.

[@rickbullard2373]

The power of this beautiful song can’t be explained in words. It’s your own experience of it through the years. A Lee, Lifeson, Peart Masterpiece.

[@thomaslowe6378]

I miss you 1989.

[@osmositeequilibria9903]

Thomas Lowe so do I, though I wasn't born to live in it in real time

[@unkatruk9932]

I camped out with 100 Rush Heads in front of a record store for Presto tour tix. 3am Parking Lot Nerf Football... in the available light :)

[@treehouseapefeet5185]

Seems like only yesterday.

[@katemurphy1915]

Thomas Lowe I miss 1989 also.

[@TheLovelyRushka]

I heard that! Prime of my life

[@rockisheaven]

A beautiful ending to a severely underrated album.

[@funkster007]

This song still gives me the gooseys.

[@DirkCipher]

One of my favourite songs of all time. It never fails to make my heart soar.

[@markkickmark]

Great closer on what I think is Rush's most underrated album.

[@DPScott20]

100% agree, dude. Finest closing track on any album I know.

[@olganesterowicz]

I want to cry when I hear Geddy's emotional voice on this song!

[@milan319]

Used to listen to this album non-stop. One of my fave Rush albums. Nostalgic evening tonight. RIP Neil

[@paulme99]

Under rated song.I like that Gaddy sings in his natural voice.

[@michaelwebb8158]

I want my tombstone to say "I'll go with the wind, I'll stand in the light."

[@wycliffite]

This song takes me places like few Rush songs do. It's inspirational. I've been a huge fan for decades and have loved every album. Presto is a special album for me because it arrived at a particular "moment". Wow. Just a brilliant record all round. Thanks Rush for this and so many other gifts of music and memory.

[@PBUDAY88]

RUSH fan for 35 years this is one of the best songs.It is strong and powerful at the same time. LOVE RUSH.

[@skylangford6083]

I never understood the reviews this album got. Heavily underrated and probably my favorite album over all from Rush....

[@Danny_On_Wheels44]

sky langford Agree this album features everything great about them.

[@bitchy_bitch5909]

When i was in highscool, i would meditate to this entire album. I even re-recorded it onto another tape so it would be nonstop for 109 minutes. Meditation as in transcendental meditation, or Astral Projection. I visited alot of places and states of existence with this whole album! Still do.

[@JDL2112]

I never get tired of this song. I listen to it just about every day I sit at my computer...or when I'm running through my Rush collection...or whenever. :-) The last 45 seconds of this song just knocks my socks off and I can't get it loud enough!!!!

[@treehouseapefeet5185]

JDL2112 at least once a week for the last 30 years, I have to hear this song again. I was 16 when I first heard it.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

The thing about Rush is that they just write so much great music you can't believe that they can continue to do it album after album. Well, they didn't lose anything on Presto. One hell of an album.

[@std04003]

My favourite from Presto along with "The Pass" and "Red Tide".

[@EricNTammy304]

What an amazing song! This is a buried treasure!

[@gabejdb1234]

Despite how great Presto is, it seems to be overlooked. I hope Rush is proud of Presto

[@youtoo2233]

I bought this cassette in 1990 and for the next few years I played it to death, there is just something about Presto that really resonated with me. Easily my favorite Rush album post-Signals

[@olganesterowicz]

This guitar solo sounds like a saxophone! Such a beautiful phrasing by Alex!

[@user-zt2wc3uh1l]

Sounds Allan Holdsworth influenced.

[@anthonywarenyk9213]

Olga Nesterowicz I don’t now much but they used a synthesizer

[@bryanhay2356]

This is a really good Rush album though takes a few listens but it's really good at least I think

[@ThePass1967]

this is a hidden gem...one of my favorites..."run to light from shadow, sun gives me no rest...promise offered in the east, broken in the west"....pure genius

[@buzsub03]

Song makes me cry all the time, but a GOOD CRY! =)

[@jovannichester8359]

This is the finest Rush

[@MsBolz]

regardless of how many views, RUSH will always be a band that transcends the ideas of popularity, as a scale of there talent... They reached there peak (that is in popularity)a few years ago, but there legacy is amazing... We should just listen and enjoy....sumari

[@Tod661]

I love this tune..Geddy gets to wail,old school..One of Rush's best

[@Tod661]

I have always loved this song...It actually focuses on Geddy's voice...A first since the days of Permanent Waves and before....Its the best on Presto and I loved Presto

[@fieldfairy9845]

Severely underrated song. The guitar solo is beautiful

[@availablelight999]

Pure rush magic!

[@rickbullard2373]

One of the true hidden jewels of the Rush catalog. Probably the most personal to me. I’m sick that Neil is gone.

[@ruthylopez]

Rick, I'm going to say something controversial: as a lifelong Rush fanatic, I so desperately WANT to like this "era" of their music, as much as I like the Hemispheres-Permanent Waves-Moving Pictures era, but if I'm being honest with myself, I just don't like it as much. I still like these albums, and listen to them, but what I find is that there are shorter "pieces" or "parts" of the song that "move" me. Whereas for all the albums from Signals and before, I am "moved" by EVERY single note of EVERY single song. I almost feel like I'm not being loyal to my favorite band. I know that must sound weird to the people who prefer the softer (for lack of a better word) albums. Regardless, Neil's lyrics (and drumming) changed my life back when I was a teenager. Anyway, thanks for listening.

[@rickbullard2373]

Hi Carlos, I understand what you mean, but I got into Rush late, like’ ‘94. Their first song I actually realized was Animate. And to me hearing that intro, at that time in my life (18) was something I’ll never forget. The musicianship and maturity, after my years of metal and grunge was such a contrast. I was hooked. So it is also about our moments and where we were in life too.

[@ruthylopez]

Rick Bullard Very true. When I have more time, I’ll share my “Rush discovery moment” with you in more details. And I’d like to hear yours.

[@puckdropper27]

POSSIBLY ONE OF MANY HIDDEN TREASURES FROM RUSH.. SO GREAT STILL TODAY!!

[@larkydozer]

"In the Avaiiiiiiilaaable Liiight!". Chilling.

[@zwordser]

Too bad that this one isn't getting more views. I've seen lots of comments for other Presto songs that people like. I'll be the first to say that this song is my favorite from Presto!

[@JamesOhGoodie]

I swear, this is heart-breakingly beautiful, and perhaps the closest Rush ever got to jazz or blues. Such an underrated song.

[@MrAbsalom2112]

I can't say enough about how beautiful this song is. It's pulsing....almost demanding. It doesn't have the cold sheen Rush songs tend to have (also, before you think I'm bashing on them I have "Rush" and "2112" tattooed on my forearms, lol). It's just perfect.

[@yrmthr]

Alex has such a great & instinctive ear for melody and phrasing. He's like a more frenetic and imaginative version of David Gilmour.

[@Waynemann1]

Only much better

[@TheJat70]

Always loved this song! Shows how the band can be creative with different musical styles

[@i-a-g-r-e-e-----f-----jo--b]

I really got into this album when they released it. Especially this last song! Thanks for posting!

[@bnslippy]

Rest in peace Neal Peart. A bright light just went out...

[@lightningfirst689]

That final chorus is majestic on a whole new level. Fairly simple, but still one of my favourite drumbeats Neil Peart ever did.

[@BigLotz15]

Presto is an absolutely amazing album and definately the most underrated album that Rush has put out...well that or Counterparts

[@michaelwebb8158]

I want my tombstone to say "I'll go with the wind---I'll stand in the light"

[@sludgedisciple]

One of my favorite songs from Presto.

[@jamiewarriorwarlordmccallu5712]

great rush song and an awesome way to end the underrated presto album. love it this one. #rusharerocklegends

[@jwcinc12]

The drum part at 4:10 always fills me with energy and warmth.

[@bigtwit]

Love how in the end Neil accents the chorus with just snare/tom/cymbal hits. Really brings home the end to a fantastic finish.

[@rblauson]

Rush has NEVER played this song live. Trivia worthy of mention considering there are only a very few songs rush has chosen never to play live. I love this song - would have loved to see it live

[@acnornlandeth]

So true. I hadn't even touched this album until six months ago, and when I did, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. But like you said, it grew on me, too, and it's definitely one of my all time favorite albums from Rush.

[@valuecalc]

Amazing. The last song on the last studio album that the fellows would make in the 1980s.

[@SuperJohnnyO]

Also, the last of Neil's double bass kits.

[@valuecalc]

SuperJohnnyO, your knowledge on music equipment is astonishing and much better than mine.

[@JScherz108]

How well said. For the millions of Rush fans out there who can appreciate that liking this band goes well beyond ejoying there music. Its soulful in a way that is difficult to describe. Life certainly wouldnt be the same without them.

[@joeshoestock1654]

Haven't found to many sounds so beautiful in my life time

[@jamesb7168]

this song is incredible!!!! l can never stop listening to it.

[@Puff29646]

A thinking mans band! One of the greatest in history!!! By the way, not many have a member whom is a Graduate of Juilliard School of Fine Arts with a Ph.D!

[@nallaeroom1]

Great underated song!!!!!!

[@robsongremio]

This song kicks some gluteus max

[@traviskemp236]

Brings me to a great time in my life when everything was an open door, Thanks Toby Norris

[@stevestruthers6180]

This has always been one of my top ten favourite Rush songs. Incredible imagery in Neil Peart's intelligent, thought-provoking lyrics, a hard driving, but pop-inflected melody, and piano parts (played by the band's album designer Hugh Syme) that add a feeling of depth, sophistication and maturity to the entire work. What's not to like. This piece is not only sheer genius but an absolute masterpiece. Too bad that it's such an underrated song.

[@gronfote]

We love you, Neil. Safe travels, amigo.

[@dontmakelemonade]

I love it when I stumble across a song that sums up where I am exactly.

[@RushALMM]

Great song.

[@BigSkippy1263]

Doesn't it make you sad knowing that you can never see Rush in concert? I know I don't like to think about it because I was never able to see them. Thankfully I have over forty years of music I can fantasize about. R.I.P. Neill. I miss you and I never got to be your long-awaited friend.

[@zwordser]

@ThePass1967 Just listened to the whole album again recently (1st time in years). Still gotta say I think Available Light is the best song on the album. The Pass is also a very good song though.

[@RushFanPix]

Love this. So gorgeous

[@marysouthwick923]

I "second " your comment above, RushFanPix!!!!!! :) ;-) XOXO

[@997GURU]

My FAV ! Everything in life can be related to a Rush song !

[@theodorecramer9544]

A very classy song by my favorite band!!!

[@RobKMusic]

My favorite RUSH tune of ALL time. I was on a "pilgrimage" to Toronto in 1990 when I bought Presto just before crossing into Canada. Listened to it for the first time up the QE to Toronto. I remember the trip because I went up in the CN tower and looked down on the open Sun Dome as they were setting up for the Rolling Stones that night.

[@sharadmathur668]

Amazing. Songs Geddy/Alex have composed with the piano as the center-piece have been so melodic and beautiful.

[@kefhomepage]

love this song .

[@NetBoy2112]

I love Presto and was thrilled to really give Snake & Arrows a good hard listen one day and realized the two albums have a lot in common - style, tone, theme, music, etc.

[@jochenroeder669]

Sublime song, so beautiful. And Neil's drums are flawless again.

[@marvinlewis2144]

Such a beautifully produced album . crystal clear.love this album.and I have them all.box sets included.

[@gdub454]

oh the wind can carry...in the available..Ill stand in the light..from 4:17 to the end...gives me goosebumps...

[@gofoats]

This song brings memories that are sweet, and also painful. Pratt expressed these feelings with grace. Thanks dude.

[@larkydozer]

Love Rush. Love this particular track.

[@sretsam68]

This is such a great song. I haven't listened to "Presto" in a while, but this was my favorite on the CD. Today, I was at lunch and a little down about something. This song came up on "Deep Tracks" and it lifted my spirits the rest of the day.

[@vonCHUGHES]

My favourite

[@BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

Presto an excellent selection of songs, great tour, saw them at Alpine Valley in 1990, just a couple of months before Stevie Ray Vaughan's last performance in August

[@aarontate7768]

One of my all time favorites!

[@viDUBla]

you nailed it with this comment. the Vocal Melody here is bone chilling.

[@chipfoster5001]

CORRECTION THEY'RE AWSOME!!!!!!!!

[@ibanezman1025]

This album took a while to grow on me, but now I find it to be one of Rush's more sophisticated records, along with Hold Your Fire. The quality of song writing and musicianship is very high here. Listen to that vocal melody! Stunning!!!! Rushian for life!!!!!

[@chipfoster5001]

Big RUSH fan for decades!!! THEIR AWSOME!!!! THEIR music just goes through me!!

[@schmittelt]

Chokes me up.

[@michaelbeach9694]

I love the band Rush. With all my heart. Mikael

[@kevinwhitener4]

One of my favorite albums, with roll the bones. Got the rabbit in hat with the words rush presto tattooed on my shoulder. Actually Presto was one of the first albums I listened to when a friend introduced me to the group, and then went to two rolls the bones concerts a couple years later.

[@kevinwhitener4]

Roll the bones. Stupid auto correct

[@carlosaugustotavares5134]

Rush:Simplesmente a maior banda de todos os tempos

[@easternbushytail]

one of my favorites!!

[@sylelena]

Brilliant song!!!

[@rapjr123]

Presto is easily THE most underrated album by Rush, such a masterpiece! I think it's about time we heard Available Light live though :)

[@SonicVisionX]

Truly, one of the most beautiful songs they've written, and that says a lot.

[@haniwadog]

Presto needs more love

[@SuperJohnnyO]

4:42 Vintage Peart

[@prodigyguitar35]

That drumfill...heaven

[@mancini2468]

Very cool song. The drum roll at 4:44 is stellar.

[@bitchy_bitch5909]

During my highscool years i used to meditate, do martial Arts excercises, crystal meditation, TM, astral projection, self hypnosis, and excercise my psychic abilities. Later on: other things that i will NOT disclose. These days: if i have trouble doing my thing in the bathroom; rush is the only group that can relax me enough to go. 😌
