Artrock

Poslechněte si vysloveně epigonskou desku. Přestože Rush hráli spolu od roku 1968, první desku vydali až v roce 1974. Když poslouchám některé písně, mám pocit, že to vůbec nejsou Rush, ale úplně jiná kapela. Ta jiná kapela vůbec nepatří do šuplíku art-rocku, ale protože ji docela rád poslouchám a taky protože je Rush dobře napodobují zvu vás k poslechu. Pro ty z vás, kteří znají pozdělší tvorbu Rush to může být zajímavé, jak tato kanadská kapela, hrající ve třech, začínala. Pomocí hvězdiček pod videem ohodnoťte jednotlivé písničky, nebo i celé album. Nebo napište komentář, jak snášíte hard-rock.

• Geddy Lee – zpěv, baskytara
• Alex Lifeson – kytary, zpěv
• John Rutsey – bicí, perkusy, zpěv

‚Cause there’s nothing I need
There’s nothing I want more
In the whole wide world

A young man alive

Someway, somehow

Take a Friend

Well I’m lookin‘ at you
And I’m wondering what you’re gonna do
Looks like you’ve got no friends
No one to stick with you to the end

Take yourself a friend

Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
So good

Yes you think you’re all right
And now you’re lonely every night
Well you need a friend
Someone on whom you can always depend

Keep ‚em till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
So good

Yes you need some advice
Well let me put it to you nice

Someone who’ll stick with you to the end

Here Again

I said I played this song
So many times before
That the melody keeps repeating
Growing new ideas
Flowing chords and notes
Like a mountain river bleeding

Well I say as I look back
And all the thoughts I’ve had
They reflect just what I’m learning
Yes, you know that the hardest part
Yes, I say it is to stay on top
On top of a world forever churning
Whoa yeah, oh yeah

Well, you say you laugh
But I can see that your eye’s are blend
Well do you see, can’t you see, can’t you see what I’m feeling?
Yes I’ve seen your face before
Why, I’ve said I’ve seen it everywhere
Showing up to me without a scent revealing

Well, I said will it ever change?
Well yes lord I said will it stay the same?
I’d surely like to know before it’s over
Well, I said I play this song
Yes I said it won’t be long
Won’t be long before I stop and play it over

Oh, oh I’ve, I’ve seen your face before
Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?
And I, oh I, I’ve been in one place to long
Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?
Oh oh

Well I, oh I, I’ve seen your face before
Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?
And I, oh I, I’ve been in one place to long
Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?

What You’re Doing

Well I see you standing there
With your finger in the air
Everything we do
You wanna leave it up to you

Who do you think you are
You think you wanna start
Try to run the town
Always try to put us down

Well you think that you’re right
You think you’re out of sight
Tell me something mister
Why do you have to make us so uptight?

Well you say you’ve been tryin‘
You know that you’re lyin‘
I think you need some groovin‘
Who do you think you’re foolin‘ now?

Well you better start changin‘
You’re life needs rearrangin‘
You better do some talkin‘
Or you better do some walkin‘ now

Yeah you think that you’re right
You think you’re out of sight
Tell me something mister
Why do you have to put us so uptight?

I know what you’re doing
All that you’ve been doing wrong

Oh, but you been feelin‘ long

Well you say that you’re right

Before And After

Love won’t see my comin‘
On a Sunday noon today
I still don’t believe we’re fadin‘
But now the world should wait

And now you’re finally listenin‘
To what I have to say
Well the time is right
And it is today
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Maybe we could talk about it
And try to get it straight

Have you by my side
And that’s the only feeling
Baby I can’t hide
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Through to you baby
All you do is stare

Well I don’t wanna be your lover
Babe, I wanna be your man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well now my story’s over baby
And I ain’t gonna tell it twice
Well you better start listenin‘
Or get out of my life (sounds more like „Hell yeah, to my advice“)

Or you’re gonna be left out

You’ll be too old

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Working Man

Well I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin‘ yes
I’m workin‘ all the time

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that’s why they call me
They call me the working man

They call me the working man
I guess that’s what I am

I get home at five o’clock
And I take myself out a nice cold beer
Always seem to be wonderin‘
Why there’s nothin‘ goin‘ down here

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that’s why they call me
The workin‘ man

Well they call me the working man
I guess that’s what I am

Well they call me the working man
I guess that’s what I am

Well I get up at seven yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin‘ yes
I’m workin‘ all the time

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that’s why they call me
They call me the working man

Well they call me the working man
I guess that’s what I am
They call me the working man
I guess that’s what I am
