    Bytor and the snow dog studio version from the album Fly By Night, Neil's first album with them will blow you away
    Thanks for the Awesome memories

    Living on a lighted stage
    Approaches the unreal
    For those who think and feel
    In touch with some reality
    Beyond the gilded cage
    Cast in this unlikely role,
    Ill-equipped to act
    With insufficient tact
    One must put up barriers
    To keep oneself intact
    Living in the Limelight
    The universal dream
    For those who wish to seem
    Those who wish to be
    Must put aside the alienation
    Get on with the fascination
    The real relation
    The underlying theme
    Living in a fisheye lens
    Caught in the camera eye
    I have no heart to lie
    I can’t pretend a stranger
    Is a long-awaited friend
    All the world’s indeed a stage
    And we are merely players
    Performers and portrayers
    Each another’s audience
    Outside the gilded cage.

      Alex was a genius at blending his solos into the songs. They were exactly what each song needed, NOT what he could or wanted to do. He was a master of dynamics as well, not just thrashing as loud as he could, he could change dynamics between strums and squeeze every single ounce of power out of the softest notes.

  • @petrilampela

    My favourite guitar solo of all time. It cries out the lyrics without saying a word, it's like wailing and asking for solitude and being a bit apologetic about it. It's not just notes, it's a story. Rarely a guitar solo is so in touch with the lyrics. I wish I knew what Neil had to say when he heard it.

    • @justimprovising
      @justimprovising Год назад +1

      In his recent Shred with Shifty interview he said he was trying to evoke the feeling of loneliness that comes from living a life that's kind of fake and disconnected from reality, that the solo is fragile, almost breaking down, with the faster parts representing not being in control and the climbing notes at the end a feeling of desperation, clinging to the last note. As you said, it's a story. Perfection!

    There's a beautiful little note that Geddy plays on each verse after the first.
    He drops down an octave on the "and of one" in the 4th bar of the verse, to play a low F#, but it's the way he just slips it into a little eighth note space that Neil leaves for him.
    It's gorgeous.

    I enjoy seeing a younger generation hearing and appreciating this music and group. This music...Rush, Blue Oyster Cult...this got me through high school in the late 70s and early 80s. Back then it was just music my parents disapproved of. It was music that only appealed to a niche of my peer group. Today its classic rock and 80s legacy. So happy youve discovered what was for me a lifeline to sanity. Cheers and thanks!
