Rush - Subdivisions (with lyrics)

[@dR-bh9kt]

When I was in middle school, my next door neighbor and good friend of mine was in a horrific car accident. His father died in the accident and my buddies face and part of his skull was crushed. He endured many reconstructive operations. During that time he never left his house. Did not want to be seen by anyone. He took up the drums to release his anxieties. I remember listening to him play for hours every day. He played every rush song. He became so good, that he sounded like Neil. Our band teacher sent Neil a tape of him playing and Neil was so taken by his ability and story, that he came to see him and brought him a drum set just like the one he used to record Rush records. 10k worth of drums back in the early 80’s.

You are a good example of the lyrics of the song, grats on not falling in line and not caring what people think. I grew up in NYC, latino and everyone around me are concerned about who's has the hardest grill. But I am true to who I am and what I like, fck everyone else.

[@tylahfam527]

Just wait until you become familiar with Tool

[@schism47]

Can you believe that among music journalists Niel was voted the worst rock lyricist of all time? That was like ten years ago and it still makes me so mad today. Furious. Fuck rock journalists. Also the tool comment in this thread holds true as well. Rush and tool both have very very deep lyrics. There is more to their stories than any other bands in history.

[@kf-vo1fk]

Chris Porter well if you are referring to what I’m thinking of; it was because his lyrics were too intelligent. These people believed rock lyrics were supposed to be about sex, drugs, violence etc. so I understood their reasoning, but I didn’t agree with it. But when Eddie Trunk, the number one classic rock radio personality in the country, had Neil peart as the greatest lyricist in rock history; this reflected my ideas.

[@schism47]

[@HappyMunsta]

Milaan Vigraham Im with you on that feeling...my kids bring tons of new music to me often....and yes it has lots of emotions and talented musicians but it's just good and I get it but your right there isn't anything as great as Rush. They bring super high emotion with the highest of highs in musical instrument ability matching the high emotions of thought provocative lyrics that keep your mind simply open to all ideas not just the idea of the one that you are in. So I whole heartedly agree with you in the respect that there isn't any music as "great" as Rush is, but that's really not fair to any other group to compare them to the greatest band of all time hand's down.

Rush's 'Subdivisions', Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing' and The Police's 'Synchronicity II' are all the education you need on the expression of suburban angst. I love comparing the lyrics and the instrumentals. All three do an excellent job of portraying the suburbs as a place to flee. Rush even carries threads of the same theme in other songs as well. In the end, if I had to pick one, it would be Rush. Why? Dude, it's Rush. 'Nuff said!

I have to say, I was never a Rush fan. But, this song is very good all the way around. Very relevant for it's time and the present.

[@rockhard2654]

+Stacey Hager your not a rush fan but you like this song? have you heard other rush songs? they got 20 albums filled with songs as brilliant as this more brilliant.

[@staceyhager4604]

Oh I've heard Rush songs. Our local radio station plays so much Rush that instead of calling the station by it's name, Rock 105, a lot of people know it as "Rush 105"

[@rockhard2654]

Stacey Hager where do you live?

[@waltercolombe6105]

This song elicits long buried memories of when I had no answers but a big heart.If could go back in time ,I would give myself a hug.

Rest in peace neil. You are the reason i ever picked up drum sticks. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

The self appointed 'in crowd' cannot separate their restless dreams from the dreams of people they dismiss and outcast for whatever reason. We all have a common bond of dignity which we should nourish and not allow our capitalistic society to disrespectfully subdivide us or quell our individual expressive spirit and creativity. Love Rush. The professor and insightful lyracist has passed.💔 Rest in peace Neil Peart

Any escape might help to smooth The unattractive truth But the suburbs have no charms to soothe The restless dreams of youth

[@rokyericksonroks]

I dunno, I found the suburbs charming in some ways.

This is 'Don't Stop Believing' for deep people.

[@maleexile9053]

I agree I don't like journey that much

[@ogjrock6078]

except this song is good

[@kyleb2691]

I don't dislike Journey or anything. But to be honest💯, Don't stop believing is nothing matched up with the outstanding works of Rush. No offense, I just feel like Rush is rock n roll, Journey is more like pop.

[@ogjrock6078]

+Kyle Bruss journey was considered alternative and pop just means popular so technically rush is pop

[@kyleb2691]

+Og Jrock I disagree. Journey is pop. Alternative is more like green day or eve6 or like 90s stuff. I feel like Rush belongs more in the rock n roll category. they aren't completely well known yet they aren't going away. Then again, I guess it's all open to interpretation. By today's standards, there both probably considered "pop" but honestly, they both deserve a better description than the likes of Bieber, Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Or whatever garbage is currently being marketed to younger audiences just to make a quick dollar. Sorry if I offended anyone, that's just my honest opinion.

I remember the first time I heard this track, listening to the radio late at night, and finally feeling like someone else wrote music for people like me, who never fit into clique society. Rest in peace, Neil

Greatest Rush track in my opinion RIP Neil
