So, I'm circling back! This track showcases the band experimenting with new sounds and forging a fresh path. While the sound is a bit different from the Rush I came to love, their songwriting brilliance still manages to shine through. In this video, I delve into the music theory behind the constant modulation in the verses, Geddy Lee's bass tone, how he develops the bass line throughout the song, why their songwriting is so clever, and much more! --------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Intro 1:03 Reaction / Analysis 17:37 Final Thoughts --------------------------------------------------- 📺 MORE REACTIONS: ▶️ "LEAVE THAT THING ALONE" - https://youtu.be/3xw792BDV1w ▶️ "YYZ" - https://youtu.be/Rfc5pGhKp7o ▶️ "FREEWILL" - https://youtu.be/wd0oIf2EDK8 --------------------------------------------------- Mark Michell is an internationally-touring and recording bass player known for his work with Scale the Summit, Tony MacAlpine, Tetrafusion, Watermox, and more.
