![Rush - Xanadu (REACTION) Exit Stage Left [1981] WRITER REACTS](/img/1.gif)
I was 15 when this was released (graduated HS 1984).
I'm now 57 years old.
Rush is still my favorite group.
I was 14 year old and already a Rush fan when this song was released. Even though I had a small, but solid group of friends, this song was a real eye opener for understanding the feelings of some sort of existential angst (teenage blues) we were all having, but lacked the wisdom and life experience to define and articulate. Neil’s incredible words made it easier to accept that it was normal, even cool to have feelings of being on the outside. It made me glad to have a group of friends with whom I could be my authentic, goofy self. I had friends in the “cool kids” cliques and it seemed like they were miserable a lot of the time. So much of their friendships were phony and performative with the social pressure to keep up appearances for what was expected to be projected as a popular kid. The music and lyrics of Rush were very helpful in providing some extra guidance and inspiration to navigate different eras of my life.
Damn! I relate to much of your comment. I felt similar, but couldnt articulate exactly how i felt and why. I didnt find the song then, it might have been helpful, but i am grateful i now know it.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@pablozee6359 I was 14 too..lol
This has become an official Nerd song to many
@@squamishfish omg 😳😱🤣😂
Nerd? I prefer the term "intellectual badass"
-Shirt I just happen to be wearing at the moment.
😁
This song was mainly based on Neil's experiences growing up in a suburban community, where conformity was king and he was repeatedly teased and bullied by his high school classmates. When it came out while I was in high school, it hit me like a ton of bricks because it sounded like a carbon copy of what I was going through. I have Asperger's Syndrome, which is part of the autistic spectrum, and I was constantly ostracized because my brain worked differently; as I matured, I came to recognize that it's okay to be different and that I have many special gifts that most neurotypical people cannot even begin to understand. Another song from Neil and his bandmates that you may like is Time Stand Still, whose lyrics talk about the passage of time; the official music video is rather cheesy, so I recommend the rendition that the U.S. Army Band did as a memorial tribute to Neil. Rest in peace Professor.
🥁 🥁 🐐 🐐
All of Signals 🔥🔥🔥. The drum parts drive this song EVEN MORE than the typical Rush tune…so unique.
Geddy's working that bass hard too. An incredible rhythm section.
Actual you can hear the Neil Peart symbol ride fill he uses in a lot of songs to fill space. Watch for this. Great drummer 🥁 ❤
🤗 Even black teenage girls in Harlem, like me,could relate to this song. I wore the grooves out of this 45' record. 🥰🐰
One of my all-time favorites. As so many people can testify, this embodies the anguish of youth confined by the structure of their unyielding parents, indifferent instructors, a caste like segregation of peers, and the malaise of everyday life. I feel like it is a prime study into the formation of the mind of an introvert. As a high schooler in the 80's, I feel like myself, as well as countless others were being channeled by Neil as he wrote these lyrics.
Beautifully said! I wish i came across this song a little earlier in life. But then again, maybe it came at the right time for me to fully grasp it.
Rush lyrics always hit hard.
100%
Out of all the greatness that Rush has produced this is my fave as it touches my soul growing up. Great reaction 😊
Amazing song. Definitely struck a chord with me as well. Thanks for watching
This song came out in 82 i was 15 years old and i remember seeing it on MTV and it just blew me away back then! Its a very powerful message! Love rush 💯💯💯i saw this tour as well too 82-83 Neil peart there drummer writes all the lyrics 💯 hes a poet big time when it comes to lyrics and beyond awesome drummer 🥁🥁🥁 we call him the professor 🥁🥁🥁 may he RIP 💯🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🥁🥁🥁
Must have been awesome to experience the time it came out and then seeing it on MTV. I have a few of those songs and video's from my childhood and you just never forget. Also there was no rewinding or replaying once it was done. Or maybe record it on VHS 😄
Alex looks like he wants to break Geddy's keyboards.
This song was the second single off of the Signals album. Circa 1982. Great song 🎵. Always enjoyable to hear.
I was a 15-year-old school kid who lived in the suburbs of Chicago when this song came out. I thought the lyrics were written with me specifically in mind.
Its amazing how that can happen. They are great at capturing the human experience.
The first Rush's song i had listened, and is still my favorite one!!!!
Such a good song!
My first Rush Lbum and MTV was rocking about 5 or 6 rush videos by 1984 tom sawyer red barchetta subdivisions limelight then diatant early warning. They actually aired Exit stage left around 81 on MTV
Such a damn good song, just hits everything perfectly
Another great reaction Saeed, thank you. I was a teenager in a small town in the UK when this came out. Its message got straight to me. Although some references were foreign, that just added to its strength. I knew it was universal and I was not alone. The emotional state of a confused teenager still resonates every time I hear it. I'm instantly transported back to my bedroom, lying on my bed with the headphones on with all the thoughts and feelings of the time. Music is so powerful. Especially when it's done this well.
Signals was the UK tour I got to see them live too!
This album follows Moving Pictures. I'd recommend you go back there. It's generally thought of by many to be their best. I think you've only done two from it so far. Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures and Signals. Great albums and such a progression in style across them. Looking forward to more. Try Red Barchetta if you want to kick back to a great story song. Alex turns his guitar into a sports car too. Worth checking out! 😊
Its great to finally know you're not alone.
Amazing song. Thanks for watching and for sharing some of your experience.
I love your reactions of Rush... May I suggest next the song The Garden. It's the last song of their last album. A great reflexion on the purpose of life and what is really worthy . Comparing your personal life and relations as a garden that you have to nurture... If you do, please choose the version live from the Clockwork angels tour... sound is perfect, visual is perfect.... the perfect farewell song of an amazing band
Thanks for watching and the recommendation! Definitely sounds like a song i would like. Will add it to my list.
Thank you, Safe-Cracker, for the recommendation. That was so beautiful.
I was fortunate that i went this tour, NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana. That was when music FANTASTIC!!!
One of my favourites from Signals. You're spot on Saeed. You are an honourary Canadian with your love, knowledge, and fantastic opinions on the best progressive power trio to come out of Canada! You rock, man!!!! Anyway, absolutely amazing lyrics. Neil was a genius! Cheers from 🇨🇦.
@@michaelwilson9449 Same here my Canadian friend!
Amazing song. They are incredible at capturing the human experience.
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words!
Cheers from Belgium!
This is the song that got me to take a deep dive into Rush's catalog less than one year ago. I was only 5 years old when this song came out, so I obviously have no memory of it from the early 1980s. Now, as an adult, I listen to it and I relate to it remembering what a nerdy introvert I was in school. :) I also just love the sound of this song. Geddy's vocals calmed down substantially throughout the '80s and into the '90s, which I enjoy, because I love the melodic sounds of the 80's keyboard era. For a future reaction, I suggest the live version of 'Mission' from Birmingham in 1988. Make sure you listen for Alex's incredible guitar solo!
Its an awesome song. It definitely offers insight and perspective on that time of my life. Although i did not live in suburb, i did feel like didnt belong anywhere. They truly have music for every mood and emotion out there.
Thanks for watching and sharing!
once again....this is the epitome of what a rush reaction should look like...excellent reaction and explanations. thumbs up x infinity......fantastic work man
Thanks so much for the kind words! Really love this song!
I was in high school in a Toronto burb when this song came out. Loved the song, it immediately resonated with me and still love it to this day. Brilliant song! This subject wasn't really talked about at the time, and I and so many others thought...someone finally gets me and my experience!
I recognize so many locations in this video...the city was my escape as well. I was even convinced the outcast teen in the video was someone I had gone to elementary school with, they look so much alike. I found out his name not long ago and no, it wasn't him.
I hate the suburbs to this day and have only lived in one briefly since I left the nest.
Thanks so much for sharing!
I can feel that "finally... someone understands me" sentiment.
Amazing song!
One of my very favorites from Rush because it brings me home to New Rochelle, NY - 5-minute drive from Bronx. My first concert was Rush's Exit Stage Left in '81, and Signals was much anticipated...I went to see that tour too! I'm now 59 so this is SO nostalgic for my friends and me because, like anybody else, we *lived* this song! If we couldn't find what we were looking for in New Ro - NYC was 20-minutes away ;p Like Saeed, I was a renegade, nearly "got caught in ticking traps," got shipped off to boarding school (in Maine where I now reside), and I'm a better man for ALL of those experiences and wouldn't trade them for *anything.*
BTW, watch the school hallway scenes closely and you'll see a guy wearing a black Rush t-shirt!; and when our "hero's" father throws the books at him, he was watching this very song on the TV!
Thanks for sharing this!
Like you i wouldnt trade those types of experiences, good and bad!
This was filmed in/around Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The three of Rush are all from around there.
This was one of my themes songs when I was a teen, here in Ohio, in the suburbs, , being a Geek, who had Art talents, and who stuttered.
The suburban area was used in the 2003 remake of "Dawn of the Dead" -filmed in Toronto. Zombies emerge from the idenitcal houses,....attack those who are not yet converted -and they go towards a shopping mall.
Awesome song!
I have seen Dawn of the Dead. Great zombie movie!
Pretty much a top five song for any Rush fan
the arcade game was called ‘Tempest’
Played a few Atari games, but never that one. Looks awesome!
My favorite song on Signals it definitely spoke to me when it came out when I was 20. I think you would really like Losing It, one of the few songs the band used a guest musician, electric violinist Ben Mink who's best known for his collaborations with KD Lang when she was at her peak, and he killed it. 😊
Great reaction to an amazing track. Love this one. As true today as in 1982
Definitely still relevant today. Beautiful song. Thanks for watching.
Love your reaction and comments so much. Yep, the song of my high school years. It's so accurate, the footage back then. When asked how to classify Rush's sound, I always say they are Comp Comp rock....complex compositions, akin to the Beethovens and Mozarts of the past.
Amazing song and still resonates today.
Thanks for sharing!
Sometimes when video clips take the lyrics completely literally, it's cheesy and shit. Here, it works a treat. Anyone who tells you they dismiss the Signals to Hold Your Fire era, "cOz kEyBoArDs!", is both deluding and depriving themself.
Neil Peart, incredible lyric writer. RIP Neil
🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁 .. Yesssss !!! Very nice Saeed ... I knew you would discover this one. Neil is perfect on this tune. This is such a massive hit ... Love it. Thanks for sharing more RUSH. 🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁🌿
Another amazing song! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing as I myself am another who did not make it past grade 11 but was educated in the school of life .
School of life! I like that. Thanks so much for being here!
1982 from the Signals album.
I graduated high school in 1986. So I am one of the one’s who grew up listening to Rush. I won’t lie though, after Roll the Bones I kinda tuned out. RUclips has very much resurrected my love of Rush! so you have a small part in that resurrection! ❤
Thanks for sharing that! I am glad i found them. Amazing music.
If this doesn't bring you back to High School nothing will.
Unless you went to a very small school.
RIP Neil😇
You would love getting to know Rush outside of their performances. Look up “Dinner with Rush”.
Will look it up.
Dinner Rush is also a great film with Danny Aiello.
The suburbs. The insulated spot between the Bright Lights and the far, unlit unknown. Such visionary lyrics
This album and the next 3 are all Top 5's for me :)
Nice job !
Fountain of lamneth next
Thanks! Definitely need to make time for that one!
All the guys in Rush grew up in the suburbs and all felt like they didn't fit in. Alex and Geddy met in junior high when they were 13.
All of them quit high school early to play music.
Wow! Amazing!
All 3 of the band members felt isolated and didn’t enjoy living in the suburbs. There are many lyrical themes throughout that do resonate with me having grown up in the 60’s and 70’s in suburban Boston.
Thanks for sharing that.
Amazing song and some of these lyrics definitely resonate with me.
You can’t go wrong with Rush. Of course, the lyrics are extremely intelligent and thought-provoking, and though this was their “commercial” period, the music is still very well composed.
"Little Boxes" performed by Pete Seeger originally ... Pretty much the same message. And it is worth a reaction. It's kind of interesting that it hasn't floated up on the radar of reaction folks considering how incredibly popular that song was and still remains.
Must check out the original and really listen. I only know that small part from that was used on the show.
Saeed you really need to watch a video of Alex as a teenager discussing his life with his parents , His parents were from Serbia and when they came to Toronto were hard working parents , This film was about restless youth in Toronto, And just by chance Alex was one of the Teens in this documentary
Ooh, is that available on youtube? Will look it up.
Yes, that conversation was from a documentary of sorts, when they had parents visiting day, .kind of like a reality show of now days. but this was done in the early 70"'s. it's called "COME ON CHILDREN"
@@SaeedReacts. yes just look up Alex argues with his parents
@@SaeedReacts. Alex Lifeson argues with his parents
@@SaeedReacts. just in case your wondering near the end Alex talks about a son he had with his Former Girl Friend and how they do not talk , As it as it turned out He married her and spent the rest of his life with her
You are really good, in understanding Rush
Thanks so much!
Their music really resonates with me.
Check this out -
"Subdivisions" live by Jacob Moon...on the roof!
My parents decided to pull me from a public school after 5th grade, where I had friends and actually enjoyed school, and send me to a private school. I immediately became an outcast. From that point till I graduated I hated school. The kid in this video was me. Head buried in books, trips to the arcade, walking aimlessly around malls. Luckily I had a small group of friends who were like minded. I was in 9th grade when this album came out, and Subdivisions is a big reason why I’ve been a Rush fan for over 40 years.
Thanks for sharing, my friend.
Glad you had some like minded friends! Makes a big difference!
There's a video of Neil doing a studio isolated drum track for this, it's a must-watch ..
Thanks for letting me know.
@@SaeedReacts. The version on the StickHits channel, specifically...
Post-WWII urban development in North America focused on cars and personalised vehicles. You drive to work in the city, to the mall for shopping, or a strip-mall for other bits. These surban neighbourhoods are exactly as depicted in the video. The high school cliques are an extension of that subdivision, that alienation of the misfit youth.
Give Analog Kid, Digital Man, and Middletown Dreams a listen. Those songs tie the whole theme together quite well.
Will add those songs to my list! Thanks.
I could go on like every RUSH fan and talk about what this song meant to me growing up. Rather I would like to share what the video game our hero is palying at the arcade at the end of the video. The game was called Tempest and the object was to shoot the spike of lights coming out of the center of the shape. At 10:10 you see the shooter, the yellow thing at the bottom and the light spikes coming out around the shape. You used the turning dial to navigate your shooter around the shape shooting down the spikes. As long as the shooter was in a space where the spike had been eliminated you got to move to the next shape. Easy enough but the dial was was hard to control around the shape and it would move several spaces over with just an easy turn. Fun game for us that grew up in the 80's with a pocket full of quarters. BTW this song helped several of us through the difficult High School years.
Thanks for sharing that! I played quite a few games on Atari, but never this one. Sounds like a lot of fun!
So many great lyrics in this song. Yes, SIGNALS came out in 1982 and it was a different sound, with the synth becoming more and more prevalent. Even though I longed for the RUSH of the 70's, I really thought Geddy hit his vocal stride on these early 80's albums. Thanks for this reaction! ☮
Incredible lyrics! Thanks so much for watching!
Few other bands have so many songs where the lyrics compete so strongly with the music. I think if the guys weren't such good musicians the lyrics would just overpower the music.
Rush will make you think... a lot is still pertinent now.
The Analog Kid is another song off of this album that has a similar theme of being an outsider and dreamer.
Definitely will check that one out.
One of my faves!! 😮😮😊😊
At 15 years old, in high school, and living in the suburbs near Milwaukee, WI, with several shopping malls in the area, this song felt like it was written for, and about me!
Neal dropping bars in this one
💯
The suburbs shown are in Toronto - Rush's home town.
In the suburbs of the early 1980's I felt completely safe - never had any thoughts of being shot, assaulted by illegals...
I was 16 in High school listening to this song and it became my a song of my life
I graduated in 2009 and this song was 27 years old at the time and it still resonates with me now even all the way back then
Its another song that stand the test of time. Very relatable.
Next one from Rush - Red Sector A = song about holocaust . Geddy Lee parents was survive to holocaust . Neil Peart deep lyric . 😎👍🎶🎶
I was 12 when this came out. A year or two into my Rush journey 2 years from starting High School. I’m from Rush’s hometown. The suburbs, the images and the themes were very reminiscent of my life. This was shot in my city and everything looked like what I saw everyday. On top of loving the band it doesn’t connect any closer than that. Love your analysis of these amazing Rush songs. Keep’em coming…come on!
Oh wow! Thats amazing! So this one is literally close to home for you 😄
@@SaeedReacts. Exactly. Every show they played in Toronto was a homecoming. Always a celebration. Saw them live almost 40 times and I dearly miss them. Got to meet them a couple of times. Great memories.
17, when this came out. I consider it Part 1 of 2. To me, Subdivisions must always be followed by Analog Kid (as it is on the album).
Will add that one to my list. Thanks so much.
You're right, the video is pretty well done as far as really helping with the song's analysis. But you really hit the nail on the head man. Ticky-Tacky for sure! Lol.
The video definitely aided me in grasping the concept sooner. So good!
I'm surprised you didn't finish high school, and NOT surprised because you are very intelligent and have a critical mind. I barely graduated and I loathed every single minute of every day that I had to endure such a soul destroying experience. All my best friends either dropped out with the 'bad' apples, or were so exceptional that they were ostracized for being 'brainy' and went on to become Mathematicians and electrical engineers, Lol!! Alas, I was somewhere in the middle, and made the fateful choice to become a professional musician, and I still hang out with the 'bad' crowd and the nerds. They have more in common than people realize. dreamers and misfits all of us..
Was the same experience for me, but i wasnt as persistent as you to make it through.
Sounds like we might have a few things in common 😃.
Thanks for sharing that!
@@SaeedReacts. Thanks, I'm really enjoying your reactions because you dig into the lyrics right away. There are a shocking number of listeners who just can't go there. Too often I hear the phrase 'I have no idea what this is about" as though the task of writing and delving into ideas and themes and delivering it vocally has NOTHING to do with music. Its a very wierd pattern that I am noticing more and more in younger listeners. Is it the power of words that is being lost? Or is it the capacity to integrate lyricism? How soon will poetry and lyrics become a lost language?
Marathon is another little gem from the 1985 Power Windows album. You must check that one out brutha!
It's not how fast you can go. The force goes into the flow. You can miss a stride, but nobody gets a free ride.
Thanks for the recommendation! Will add it to my list.
I was around 13 in 1975 when I saw my first RUSH concert (KSHE kite flying contest in St. Louis, MO; they open for Uriah Heep). Rush demographic = High School aged Geeks, Nerds, Introverts, Intellectual Pot Heads (usually male, though I was/still am a hardcore fan). BTW, I just paid $20 for bacon and eggs. Too bad my income hasn't gone up 700%.
Thanks so much for sharing! Appreciate that!
Damn, those prices are insane.
One of my favorites. For me, this song is also about the only two tragedies of life, according to Oscar Wilde. Always layers in Neil's work.
You must listen to Territories from the album Power Windows
That one is on my list!
I hear ya! I’m one of those people as well. I was a dreamer back in my school days. This song is my crowning achievement as a bassist, keys, singer. I know you’re busy but if you could take a minute and go to my shorts, near the bottom is “Subdivisions”. It would mean a lot to me if you did. Thank you!
Its amazing to finally connect with some like minded people through music like Rush's. Wish i had this back then.
I checked out your short. Awesome, my friend!
@@SaeedReacts. much agreed!
Great reaction! So many lifelong diehard RUSH fans still cling to this song because they all felt like you do. They felt like outcasts and this song spoke to them when it came out. Many fans said it's as if the band wrote this song specifically for them. This song struck a nerve for many unpopular and impressionable youths in the early 80's.
Maybe this is why i am enjoying their music so much. It's starting to make more and more sense 😄
I was just born in the wrong decade 😅
Thanks so much for watching!
"Seagulls"is a good album.
I think you would really enjoy Manhattan Project by Rush.
That title alone! Will add this one to my list 😄
I've always heard the analysis of these lyrics about the negativity of the suburbs, but the last two lines of the song after the ticking traps are "And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight, Somewhere out of a memory of lighted streets on quiet nights". The last two lines talk about the nostalgia of youth and how the universal flight to "get the hell out of this place" is replaced with the same old "Damn kids..in my day things were great!" and the longing to return to their "hated" subdivisions of youth. Creating more subdivisions and pre-decided opinions. It's a pessimistic ending that purposefully undermines the first 95% of the song and I thinks it's brilliant beyond the standard angst the song portrays.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
lol. Bacon and eggs $1.89 Cigarettes cost only 75 cents in 1982. I got in trouble a few times myself in school. 🏄♂️
Bet there were people saying, i will quit when it hits 1 dollar 😅.
A few times aint that bad 😄
Decent weed for $40 an ounce when this song came out.
Neil actually says “subdivisions” in the song. Alex just pretends to say it.
I think that voice saying "subdivisions' was actually the CITY-TV newscaster Mark Daley. He was a well known Torontonian who had an iconic deep 'news guy' voice, so they took a sample with his permission of course, Lol...Neil probably could have done it just as well, it DOES sound like Neil.
@@markjohnson4217 I never heard that. Thank you. I was told it was Neil.
Dailey is widely credited with delivering the title line during the chorus of the 1982 Rush song "Subdivisions", although he denied this.[5] Neil Peart, who was the drummer of Rush, was actually the person who voiced "Subdivisions" in the chorus of the song.
@@glenngunnis6642 Ok thanks for clearing that up. I wonder how such a trivial thing could get muddled with the public. And I don't own a Signals album jacket to check the credits on the sleeve either! Lol..
There are more than a few discrepencies that often pop up somewhere between original album-artist info and material that gets posted. Lyrics for example, for some reason the lyrics for the chorus are always posted as 'Any escape might help disproove the unattractive truth.'
But I swear that the album jacket AND what Geddy seems to be singing is 'Any escape might help to SMOOTH the unattractive truth.." I have of course have had that version of
it in my mind all these years, I still am not sure which is correct, Lol..
@@markjohnson4217 That’s cool. I was ready to leave the topic and decided to look it up. I guess we both learned something cool!🤘🎸
You’re killing me dude! Please do the Fountain of Lamneth! Subdivisions is a great song. On the signals album Digital Man and Analog Kid are awesome and you will like the message.
Definitely will get to that one, but in preparing for my vacation i stayed away from longer songs so i could record as much video's as possible. Hope to get to it after i get back!
@@SaeedReacts. The other two songs I mentioned are both fairly short you might want to sneak them in before your vacation!
@@SaeedReacts. The songs are kind of like a part one and part two. Analog kid would be the first one you should listen to and then Digital man!
The demographic? Teens, 20s, and 30s at this point. This was their ninth album and they had quite the following then.
Thanks for letting me know!
There's a few of their songs that people say the lyrics could have been written for them. This is probably the most frequent of those. Timeless lyrics. Musically Signals was a huge departure for the band with the increased use of synthesizers.
Very relatable! Amazing song.
Be cool or be cast out. There's a Meme of Geddy pointing with those words. Clicks in school. Some will sell their dreams for small desires and lose their Race to Rat get caught in ticking trap. Brilliant. Saeed. More Rush songs The Garden Live. Everyday Glory on the Counterparts album. Far Cry Live ❤🔥
Such a great song! Still relevant today. On to the next one! Thanks for watching!
I was 16 when this album was released in the UK in September 1982 to much negative reaction as it was the album after their masterpiece album Moving Pictures and was too radical a change in music direction for many fans including myself as I hated it at the time but over the years it is now in my top 8 Rush albums. It sounded too commercial, poppy and not heavy enough (synths) but as you say we all mature and what we liked to get our teeth into at 16 is so much different at 58, assuming we still have teeth!
Thanks for sharing your experience with this song and album. I love how it grew on you over the years. Not many people give music a second chance. So thats amazing!
All three of the band members consider them selfs outcast ! Nerds not fitting in ,Not going along with the click crowds in School ! They proved they can have their own minds and succeed
Love that! Very inspiring!
Why is your thumb red bro? Looks like you got red Kool-Aid powder stuck to your thumb 😂
Birthmark, but your explanation is Kooler!
@@SaeedReacts. 🤣👊🏻
