The last time we saw Rush [June 12, 2015], as they began this song, I yelled, "I love this one!" Geddy leaned over the edge of the stage and yelled down to my sister and me in the second row, "Me too!" I miss them so much.
Saw them a couple times for Snakes and Arrows and then a couple for Time Machine and their shows were absolutely amazing. Wish more people could have seen them before Neil went through Cygnus X-1 for the last time.
@Albert Mojica,Jr. That sounds good, but i think it was 2112 were they rebelled from the record label contract. Natural Science was a b side, never intended to be a top 40 song like Spirit of Radio, but i think its one of there best. This song totally hypnotized me as a teenager.
I saw the interview, I didn’t really get the feeling he meant it that way. He was asked what was the hardest song to record, he said all of them laughingly. Then he went on to say natural science was very difficult. I think the boys all agreed la villa was the most difficult to record because they had to do it in 3 separate recordings and cut it together.
That’s funny to me as a drummer who’s learned YYZ. The only thing that’s difficult about it is the time changes and signature changes. The technical skill isn’t that demanding for this one lol
It was on this day (October 20) 43 years ago that I received a copy of Permanent Waves as a birthday gift from my sister. We were at my grandmother's place celebrating, and I couldn't resist putting the album on her stereo and listening to it using headphones. When I first heard 'Natural Science', I was absolutely, utterly blown away by its sheer power and majesty. One of my best birthday memories ever.
My sister bought be tickets for the Farewell to Kings tour in 1977 as a 12th birthday present 🥰 Big surprise as my birthday wasn’t for another 4 months
The more I listen to this song, the more I think it's a masterpiece. It started when I read about this song in a Limelight comment section or something, and the person said it was one of their favourite songs ever, so I decided to listen to it, and I initially thought "eh". BIIIG MISTAKE. It initially came up like half a year later on autoplay while I was studying and it eventually ended up on my playlist, and here we are.
I learned so much from this one song as a musician, arranger, composer, and producer than any other rock song! Proud to be a RUSH fan!! My lifeblood spills over!
@@henrypaleveda7760 That was something Peart was so good at, besides just being a great drummer. His lyrics made you think but didn't divide the listenership.
"The most endangered species, the honest man, will still survive annihilation, forming a world state of integrity, sensitive, open and strong." -- Neil Peart. Rip. Such a great thinker he was. ❤
@CarolinaReaper-o2w Chances are he will only serve one term if he is elected. Not a lot he can do in four years. Thank the Founding Fathers for the two term limit. No one man can gain too much power. The day it ever changes, will be the end of America, and the greatest travesty and evil against individual human rights. Russian President Kruchev did tell one man in 1963... "President Kennedy, the day will come when our country moves out of Communism, and your country will move into it." A prophetic statement? Let's hope not. ✌️
Rush - great musicianship, song structures, lyrics, Alex Lifeson always on the cutting edge of technology availability, using Marshalls, Fenders, Jc120's, Hughes & Kettner, Washing machines, echoplex, every rack effect ever created, Gibsons & his collection of 400 guitars, being in total control of the equipped & technology. There will never be anything like them ever again. Hats off to Rush!
I always thought it was "Not that market complains" because the producers and executives could still take a cut on producing the vision of the artists.
You get caught up in it so much that it goes past like a dang heartbeat. 10 minutes, over and done. Onto the next. Or replay from the beginning. I've done that with most of their songs, "holy SHIT what was that, I have to hear it again so I'll just listen to the whole song!"
One of the best songs ever made. that space voice, those lyrics, the progressive energy is unreal, that solo, the melody dang nothing comes close but Rush themselve hahaha
The opening lines of this song resonate so clearly, and along with many RUSH fans we may relate to this. As a child I was brought by my bearded scientist father to a special place for camping stays in a place in Western Washington state called "Tongue Point" on the north shore of the Olympic Peninsula. It was/is a paradise for tide pool experience, observing the tides going in and out, and perfectly describes what I think this song is about. I marveled at it as a child and have returned several times with several friends to experience those little pools of impressively diverse contained aquatic worlds. "When the ebbing tide retreats Along the rocky shoreline It leaves a trail of tidal pools In a short-lived galaxy Each microcosmic planet A complete society A simple kind mirror To reflect upon our own All the busy little creatures Chasing out their destinies Living in their pools They soon forget about the sea" ... Wonderful!
This and La Villa Strangiato may be the band's magnum opus..in mother nature's crucible, she concocted the trio of three uber geniuses at the top of their game..the chance of these 3 meeting and having neil at the helm of the ship with lyrics that are beyond meaningful and resonating, is nothing short of astronomical..like one in a gazillion..like a gift from the gods rush was given to us all. I'm not a religious person, but their music touches me at my core..beyond explanation..they are like air for sustenance..a necessity in life...hard to explain...songs that describe such esoteric subjects with ease, interpersonal dynamics..neil was a great observer of life and saw things in a very unique way and his verbiage and vernacular in the lyrics is beyond superb...beyond sad what happened to him..my heart weeps...but he would not want that..we have such a huge legacy to enjoy time and time again...bravo for all they have done.
This is about how people can forget about nature because of technology, and how we must value this blue planet❕ There are some odd 7/8, 6/8 and 3/4 time signatures in “Natural Science” (1980) along with the normal 4/4. Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson stated : “I can pick a song that was a hard song to play and feel that was what was challenging and developed a particular style and difficult songwriting. ‘Natural Science’ from those days is one of those songs. Hard to play, the parts were really interesting to develop and were challenging, and the songwriting itself was a challenging experience.” Producer Terry Brown and assistant Kim Bickerdike used oars in lake water to make the splashing sounds at the beginning of the piece. ❤️🌎💚
I love my wife, I love my family, I love my dogs, and I love "Rush". My neighbors know I love your music also. After making a nuisance of myself my neighbors started coming over to jam. I thought I was the best guitarist in the hood. I was wrong. I'm no slouch, but this one son of a friend of my wife is incredible. My front porch is 11 by 40 with a 12 foot ceiling-all wood and glass. It sounds great. Music is fun. We jam twice a month at least. When we really go at it we use your style, Alex.
As Dali said that the hallucinogenic toreador was “all Dali” and Led Zeppelin said that Kashmir was “all Zeppelin”, for me Natural Science is “all.Rush”. Genius.....
So fun to listen to. Love the time signature clinic! I am a 60 year old who has been listening to Neil Peart since I was 13. Whether in a cover band or playing on a church worship team I use bits and pieces of these drum fills and sticking patterns all the time. Love it!
First, RIP Neil…second, this song ends the first album that introduced me to Rush. I went back to the record store that same week and bought everything they had produced to that point. The leads in this song just blow me away. The creativity and production of this album, song, group…I cannot say anything more than so many have said before me. Except thank you Geddy, Alex and Neil!
The best Rush song IMO. Had this on Record and it skipped. Heard it on the radio when they played the whole album and it skipped in the same place. I remember hearing their effects over and over. Lol
Really impressed with this 40th anniversary remaster. Alex's guitars sound absolutely beautiful and you can hear Ged's bass much better where it got lost in the mix before.
The album that my dearest friend turned me on to back in 1980 i was 13 year's old and the rest is history and the track that hooked me was jacobbs ladder and natural science 💯💯💯💯 RIP the professor 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 u are missed everyday 💯🥁🥁🥁🥁
I vividly remember sitting in front of my stereo when I was a lad and hammering away on bass to this track. One of the most fun Rush songs to play, in my opinion.
Being a big Rush fan I don't know how I overlooked this song to add to my playlists. Shame on me. I guess it's number one on the new playlist as my other two were full LOL. R i p Neil Peart.
First Rush album I bought as a new fan (Moving Pictures turned me on to Rush). My favorite album ever since and Natural Science is the essence of Rush in one song 🙂
Three years ago, I bought a Rush patch in Niagara Falls/Canada side. A week ago I finally had a company sew it onto a hat. I just picked it up yesterday. Patch is exceptional and I wondered how long it would take before someone complimented me on it. In fact, I wondered if someone would say something to me on the first day. Sure enough four hours later I was walking through Safeway and a young dude said to this old dude, me, “Great hat, man”
Los arreglos de esta cancion hace que sea eternamente grandiosa. La bateria de Pearl, la guitarra de Lifesson son oro puro. Geddy Lee en las voces, bajo y sintetizadores es un hombre de 4 brazos a la vez. Maestros eternos de la musica y el "ARTE" de crear musica. Gracias por darlo todo.
Carlos Santos and RUSH bring music, history, fantasy and reality into one collage man all my experiences as a human being is brought to bear I love it!!!!!!!!!!
1980 I was 13 year's old when my dearest friend turned me on to Rush and this was the album that started it for me! Rush 4life💯💯💯💯 cheers from Pasadena CA 🎸🎸🥁🎤
I saw them in Houston in 1980, I think. I was on the left side of the stage, so close I could see the light reflected off Alex's fingernails. They were spot on all the way through the show. What an experience. Thanks guys for such a great memory!
Everytime I hear this song and for that matter the whole album, I picture myself at the Le Studio during the recording. What a masterpiece of work 👌😎. I told my wife that I want my ashes spread on the lake at Le studio and play this album there for the service 👍🙏. And @125+dB with good quality equipment 👍😎
as an 8 year old , with my 16 piece drum set made from every pillow in the house , i sat stunned , overjoyed , confused , mesmerized, and unsure of why i felt this way every time this played on the gigantic stereo/cabinet furniture thingy (remember those?)……now , 42 years later , older , wiser , smarter ……….I realize ……i feel the exact same way

I miss them so much.
Amazing! So lucky... I never got to see them live...
Wish I had seen them live.

I’ve loved Rush for most of my life. This song basically encapsulates why.
The most endangered species, the honest man. .... Neil was too wise for all of us.

Me too. And this is my favorite song.

Yup, I remember spending two weeks learning the bass line to this song when I first heard it. Incredible, genius song writing
This really is one of the finest pieces of music ever written.

Wow, I haven't listened to this song in probably 20 years and had forgotten how epic it really was. Poor Alex is so underrated.
Alex isn't underrated; he stands among the best of all-time guitarists, and I'm sure his contemporaries would agree.✌
Alex has SOUL.
hes not really underated....but hes with one of the most influantial drummer and bassist....he did get forget a bit@@SouthernStorm_61

Great song that is terribly underrated.
It's not underrated.

"Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea"
Best RUSH track ever IMHO.
BEST POWER TRIO EVER EMERGE IN MUSIC HISTORY PERIOD
ELP Owns them. Tarkus alone is enough.

The washing machines gave Alex an amazing tone!
Okay but I'say that all 3 musicians / artists were cutting edge; just leading the way in all areas!!
'Art as expression, not as market campaigns' (Peart) I agree
I always thought it was "Not that market complains" because the producers and executives could still take a cut on producing the vision of the artists.
One of the best almost 10 minute songs I have ever heard... possibly the best this is a progressive rock masterpiece
You get caught up in it so much that it goes past like a dang heartbeat. 10 minutes, over and done. Onto the next. Or replay from the beginning. I've done that with most of their songs, "holy SHIT what was that, I have to hear it again so I'll just listen to the whole song!"

Never get enough of Natural Science,..ever !!
The artwork fits the song perfectly.

Where venue in Houston? I saw the last two shows in Houston at Toyota Center. INCREDIBLE!
