Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture William Wanna Be	#1 by William Poop at Sep 10, 1983 at 11:41 PM EST
	the music itself is so comepletely powerful, almost overwhelming. The wind and light are given humanistic qualities; as if to give voice to friends that One has chased clear across the earth and back again.

No Picture stash Average	#2 by stash at Jan 10, 1987 at 4:10 AM EST
	The persistence of memory, the passing of time, current events in ones life, travel, not being able to touch fully any of these things and both the ability and the inability of any one person to remember, and hold that memory as well as enjoy the experience fully. It is about all these things to me. I remember listening to this song on a red eye flight back from Seattle after spending some time in the mountains with a woman I was very much in love with at the time. The song made me think about all I had seen and experienced with her. Another time I remember listening to it in my room in a shared apartment as the a snowstorm raged outside. I was alone in the world and all my memories of my past swirled around me like the snow falling outside. It both comforted me and depressed me...I felt all this through a song. Thank you Neil for the words that evoked so much thought and feeling in me and Alex and Geddy for the soundtrack to my life and times.

No Picture Jimmy Average	#3 by Jimmy at Sep 12, 1989 at 3:08 AM EST
	I can't believe only one person put their thoughts about this song. This song is definitely one of the best on the album. I agree the song is very powerful and moving. Song affect people in different way, but to me it explains the power of the world and how the simple things like wind and light can convey so much. The song is also about hope and optimism in the world. "Look at the available light" look at the good things in life and stay optimistic. "Run to light from shadow" stay away from the dark/depressing thing in the world or the darkness. To me the sun has always sumbolized promise and hope and I love how rush says "Promise offered in the east and broken in the west"....damn this band never siezes to amaze me...they are jsut amazing

No Picture Satan SAF! Rhythm Player	#4 by Satan SAF! Lucifer at Apr 29, 1999 at 5:16 PM EST
	Brilliant. An excellent way to end the album, a moving and powerful song.
