Happy Friday! [18AUG2023]

 Hello, folks!! 

I've been semi-obsessively listening to Rush lately, reveling in the albums I love, revisiting albums I don't know as well, and acquainting myself with albums I never got around to hearing for some reason.

Listening to Test For Echo for the first time, and "Driven" made me stop working on my stuff and check the lyrics. It actually fits for where I am right now, or, at least, where I'm heading. So many Rush songs that resonate lyrically... Good gawd, do I miss Neil...

Enjoy!

Rush - Driven
from Test For Echo

Lyrics



Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson

Lyrics: Neil Peart


Driven up and down in circles

Skidding down a road of black ice

Staring in and out storm windows

Driven to a fool’s paradise


BUT IT’S MY TURN TO DRIVE


Driven to the margin of error

Driven to the edge of control

Driven to the margin of terror

Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole


Driven day and night in circles

Spinning like a whirlwind of leaves

Stealing in and out back alleys

Driven to another den of thieves


BUT IT’S MY TURN TO DRIVE


Driven in — Driven to the edge

Driven out — On the thin end of the wedge

Driven off — By things I’ve never seen

Driven on — By the road to somewhere I’ve never been


IT’S MY TURN TO DRIVE


The road unwinds towards me

What was there is gone

The road unwinds before me

And I go riding on


~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes. It's my turn to drive. ;-)




Check out Rush and buy their stuff, ya?
