#different strings

anyway today im posting about stuff i like :)

rush is my favorite fucking band and i decided that my first tattoo should actually be rush lyrics 🥺 something that resonates with me from my favorite songs probably like

"different eyes see different things, different hearts beat on different strings"

or

"the more that things change, the more they stay the same"

or

"why are we here? because we're here"

every time a rush song comes on at work i get super emotional cuz THOSE ARE MY BOYS i love you geddy lee i love you alex lifeson i love you neil peart (rest your soul) i LOVE YOU RUSH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!

how do i even be normal about the best band of all time ??? they made music so different... so pretty and enchanting.. it always paints beautiful colors in my head 🥰

and do NOT get me started about how hot geddy was young because i will be insane and feral 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Rush - "Different Strings" From the album Permanent Waves (January 1, 1980)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

Wonderful, spare song from a band that doesn't do spare very often. Every song on this album is great, but, somewhat unusually, I think this might be the greatest.

And if Jeff Beck's "You Shook Me" ended with his guitar throwing up, you can subtitle this one "Vomit Part 2."

Plus, isn't this, like, the only classic-era Rush song where Peart doesn't get a lyric credit? So yay Geddy.
