Where to start with Rush’s instrumentals
Start with ‘YYZ’ for Rush in compact, high-speed form, then follow the different routes their instrumentals take: sprawling prog, acoustic detail, funk and late-period abrasion.
Lyrics
Animate
Polarize me, sensitize me Criticize me, civilize me Compensate me, animate me Complicate me, elevate me
Goddess in my garden Sister in my soul Angel in my armor Actress in my role
Daughter of a demon lover Empress of the hidden face Priestess of the pagan mother Ancient queen of inner space
Polarize me, sensitize me Criticize me, civilize me Compensate me, animate me Complicate me, elevate me
Spirit in my psyche Double in my role Alter in my image Struggle for control
Mistress of the dark unconscious Mermaid of the lunar sea Daughter of the great enchantress Sister to the boy inside of me
Polarize me, sensitize me Criticize me, civilize me Compensate me, animate me Complicate me, elevate me
My counterpart, my foolish heart A man must learn to rule his tender part A warming trend, a gentle friend A man must build a fortress to defend
A secret face, a touch of grace A man must learn to give a little space A peaceful state, a submissive trait A man must learn to gently dominate
Polarize me, sensitize me Criticize me, civilize me Compensate me, animate me Complicate me, elevate me Complicate me, elevate me
