@@brianprentissI've been a Rush fan since discovering them in college in 1979. For many years I've promoted songs from this album on social media - and this song "Available Light" in particular. Indeed, remember the "Hold Your Fire" album from 1987 that was considered "controversial" by many fans? I considered "Hold Your Fire" to be a transcendent album by Rush - and I always thought of "Available Light" as being a reflection of the beautiful music on "Hold Your Fire."
Finally somebody reacting to that amazing song !!!! Thank you ! One of Rush's hidden gems I guess. Every Rush reviewer omits that song and that's to bad. That song and losing it are 2 of my favourites! Glad you liked it
This is Rush’s best song. Period. I'm so delighted to see someone react to it for the first time. The way they move from lonely bluesy streets into soaring triumph and then back again is pure genius. God, I wish they had played it live. The entire Presto album is like an emotional chameleon. If you listen to it straight through, you won't know what hit you.
Agreed. Presto is one of my favorites. The whole album is a great surprise. Lyrically, Neil's best, imho. Presto, roll the bones and counterparts are ALL just stellar lyrically. Neil was on fire during that time.
I know because I do not know how many times I have listened to this Rush album beginning to end( I do not listen to other rush albums beginning to end) and every time that feeling of no words need to be said- it was something I had to do- I wanted to do and I did it just because.
Presto may be one of rush's worst album in many people's eyes but in mine it is their best album. For the record all songs on presto are very insightful- a truth from the other side of life that no one wants to hear or talk about. It is hard to pick the best song on presto ( depends on the mood you are in).
@@DuaneElliott-j6o Presto really feels like a Geddy solo album - singer/songwriter alanis morissette type stuff. it's not really rock, it's too clean, too much separation between instruments. It's a pop-rock album - which is cool, if you like that sorta thing. But considering grunge was happening, steve albini, the pixies, sonic youth, etc... Idk, I feel after PW, HYF - Rush could have made a raw/noisy album, but they're too canadian, too well refined for that, I suppose. Presto feels like a continuation of the songwriting of HYF, but it lacks that 80s synth pazzazz.
Mr ToneBone I think this is probably Rush's greatest song and one of the best progressive rock songs ever. There's nothing not to love about it. Enjoyed your reaction, keep up the great work.
@@tonebonetelevision Counterparts was some what left out of recognition as a masterpiece. When the 'Animate' begins you know after 10 seconds that this is gonna be hard one and the album will rock. When I first heard the album I fell in love immediately.
@@nickavenoso7851 I always saw a similarity between Available Light, High Water and Mystic Rhythms. I used to call them the "Mother Nature" trilogy seeing as how they all use natural forces as metaphors in the lyrics (and they each close their respective albums). It was like an unspoken and unnamed conceptual trilogy after the Fear "trilogy".
Rush Nation ... Rush Army ... Rush Buddies ... Why do we use the term underrated so much? We direct and change this bs narrative!!! Rush hands down is the best band ever!!! We need to own the fact that these are 3 Master Geniuses!!!
I think the standing ovation at the Rock and Roll induction....all the guy got out was "and from Toronto...". Spontaneous, heartfelt, touching....a beautiful display of the universal appeal of Rush. Foo Fighters rocked 2112 intro, too. Highly recommend watching the acceptance speeches, blah blah blah, blahblah blah blah blah blah!
As someone who attempted suicide when I was young, "The Pass" hits hard every time. Absolutely one of the best songs they ever put out. It absolutely kills live.
I dont know why but some RUSH songs just catch me right in the solar plexus and make me cry. This song is very spiritual and moving and emotional. They are a very spiritual group and have incredibly impact filled meanings in their messages. This song makes me feel so small and in awe of the Divine. Call me crazy or nutty but these guys really get to me.
Thanks Tony for picking this one. One of the best from Rush. My favorite from Presto. To me it's an uplifting song. Great drum fill from the professor during the outro. RIP Neal. 😢.
Wow. I have been Rush fan since early 80s and have not listened to this song for long time....thank you for picking up this one...I can see now this is a great song....Ghost of a chance is a great song you would enjoy...not sure if you have already covered......if so, between the wheels please from grace under pressure album....
This was from the period where every Rush album closer was what they'd call "a mood" now. "Mystic Rhythms" from Power Windows, "High Water" on Hold Your Fire, this from Presto, "You Bet Your Life" on Roll the Bones, and "Everyday Glory" from Counterparts are all unique songs that really paint a picture.
There were a few really strong songs on this album that are forgotten or dismissed simply because they came at the very end of a long album. This is a prime example being the closing track on the album. I certainly would agree that this a career highlight of the power and emotional delivery Geddy was capable of vocally. Stripping back the band's arrangement lets us discover what Geddy has always done. Red Tide was another underappreciated gem from the end of this album. This may not be the kind of song or sound Rush is typically known for, but as usual, when they challenged themselves to do something different, they did it well!
Thanks for this reaction....one of my faves from a sometimes forgotten Presto album !! I love a lot of things about this tune, especially the guitar. Check out the little drum fill at the very end,, awesome !!
I remember hearing this for the first time when it was released in 89' (WTF, 31 years?!?!), I was 17. I was fortunate to have my brother introduce my sister and myself to Rush just as Moving Pictures came out and have been on the Rush Express ever since! New album releases were an event! Get some funds together, ditch school, whatever it took for us three to go to the record store and score that new vinyl, then cassette, and CD by this album. Go home and listen to it together for the rest of the day. But this track, this track. I immediately connected with it and it was the first song to really get me emotionally and make my eyes leak! And also the song that opened my emotions up to other deep tracks (Losing It, Afterimage and a few others got me going as well after this). I wondered how these three guys could just shred and melt your face one moment then turn around and make your face melt by crying in another, pure magic these three. Such a dark and pretty song where all 3 are on extra point, and the subtle yet powerful guitar work just cut to my core, not to mention that snare. Always wished they would play this live but no luck but we did get Losing It on the last tour and it was most excellent. Now with Neil gone, Afterimage and The Garden are damn near impossible to listen to...
HAHA. I remember doing that. Didnt go to school.Went and got my copy of Power Windows the day it came out. Smoked some pot and the rest was history. CHEERS!
I recall my brother, who was the original Rush fan in our house, was nonplussed by Rush's deeper songs. He has always been more into the instrumentation than the lyrics, but that's okay: I'm a lyrics fiend and can be super impressed for the both of us. : )
There's some songs spread out over Rush albums that never got played in concert. They were sometimes ballads or more heavily-orchestrated ones that they recorded for albums but never got played outside of that studio album. But they were some really excellent songs. This is one of my more favorite ones. The vocal and lyrics paint the most amazing pictures. I have it in a special playlist for those gems that only exist on the studio albums.
If puddles are deeper than you are, this band will elude your attention. Technically, emotionally, lyrically and innovative everything pales in comparison
TB, this is the last song on the Presto album! Such a wonderful swansong for this album! By the way, you should hear the song "Scars" from the Presto album! It's very cutting-edge Primal beats/Electronica-flavored song...very heavy thematically and production...ugh. You are going to LOVE IT! "Scars"!
All of Rush's 80s albums had really killer closing tracks, starting with Permanent Waves and "Natural Science" and ending with Presto and this song. In between you had "Vital Signs," "Countdown," "Between the Wheels," "Mystic Rhythms," and "High Water" which I think was a great yet overlooked tune on Hold Your Fire. Great assessment of one of my favorite Rush songs.
The album closers from Grace Under Pressure all the way to Counterparts are those that brings me to a melancholic state where the music impacts your soul, makes you think, get introspective and emotional.
Presto was so beautiful, but a chaotic departure from 1987's Hold Your Fire. New producer, more experimentation, etc. The entire 80's was this revolving door for them. But Available Light is just on some other planet of pure aesthetics. You hear a lot of musical movements in this piece, and it may be the one song where Geddy's voice, Alex's guitar, and Neil's lyrics are in absolute harmony. But you can probably say that about many of their songs. They have been profound influences on me, and I am grateful for what they have left us.
Having been on all phases of a Rush fan I have stayed with Moving Pictures, Signals, Power Windows and Presto as my all time favorite albums and Available Light as one of their top 3 songs. It has probably the best lyrics and voice of all Rush's song and the drums, bass, guitar and keyboards are perfectly balanced
Money can’t buy Talent .. aka Neil Peart was a very well read man … its what he did on the road. This is how became known as the professor … more accomplished than most academics at universities
I love Zeppelin and always will but Rush is by far my favorite band. I loved all era’s of this band and was fortunate enough to see them 13 times live!!!
This song is among a handful of Rush's that I think should've won a Grammy. It's so well constructed and emotive; brilliantly conceived and executed. The carpe diem theme of the song shines through the lyrical imagery and leaves the listener wanting to grab a good camera and travel the world. Timeless.
I'd suggest Red Sector A off of Grace Under Pressure, if you like Rush exploring darker subjects, unless you've done i already and I missed it. Here's a not blocked version, live. Yes, you need to see them do this one live to fully appreciate Alex on here. ruclips.net/video/qyHEVcl52EU/видео.html The other song is the lyrics on the screen version of "The Pass" off of this album. Another dark, and poignant song.
Great reaction! I love “Losin It”!Studio version with lyrics is fine! Its about Ernest Hemingway when he got older and couldn’t even write a reply to an invitation, and about a dancer who couldn’t dance anymore. Basically it’s about the gifts you were given and how you lose those gifts as you get older! Pure poetry and a great electric violin accompaniment and solo by Ben Mink! Check it out!
@@juliebrockett3471 I did post it, it is blocked in some countries so you might not be able to see it. I really really love it . Its was like no other rush song I have ever heard. Just beautiful. Lyrics are pure poetry! ❤️❤️
@@tonebonetelevision so glad you got to enjoy it even if we didn’t get to journey with you!! Appreciate you keeping the great music of our lives alive!
I am so glad that I woke to this era of Rush! It makes me wonder what other bands that I need to go down some rabbit holes! Yes , the police etc. are also bands that I heard just the tips of their icebergs !
Hah! You reviewed it... My other favorite song from Presto. I bet you agree with me. Tell me your other fav from this album. I already said in another of your Presto! reviews.
Presto was my first Rush album. Got it when I was 16. I think I've listened to this song about a thousand times. For me it's about wanting to live big and learn everything there is.
You mentioned it must be a studio song not live because you hear more than 1 instrument from Geddy. Don’t know if I have heard this one live but I’ve seen Geddy jammin on the bass playing his foot petals and singing his ass off all at once. The dude is amazing!! As are the Neil and Alex.
I wondered for a time when this was first released if this song might not be their best ever. 30+ years later I think it is probably behind the likes of Limelight and Spirit of Radio; however, it is right up there with their best.
PRESTO and ROLL THE BONES are brilliant albums. Although the musicianship is incredible and polished the highlight of the 2 albums is the amazing song writing. The only constructive criticism on the two albums is the lack of bottom end (BASS),hence the thin,crispy sounding production. Also noted in interviews by Geddy,Alex and Neil. Hence as soon as they hit their next album COUNTERPARTS they purposely went back to basic raw sound,less keyboards and more bottom end. Allas COUNTERPARTS was born. Another amazing album from RUSH. The first song ANIMATE is a good start for a reaction as it is an opening statement of a going back to their roots while in thunderous form. CHEERS!!
Might be Rush’s most underrated song, imo. I just love it. I wish they played this one live. Presto is such an underrated album. Some of Neil’s best lyrics are on this album, imo.
This song is one of the best kept secrets from Rush. Simply fantastic. There will never be a band like Rush unfortunately. Best band ever.
Totally! A lot of Rush fans sleep on this entire record and this is probably the best track on a great album .

Presto is one of Rush's most underrated records.
That's very true! To me when this album was released it became one of my favorites. Their music is timeless.
I agree, it’s in my top 6 Rush albums.
Presto is my favorite Rush album.
My favorite record!
Truth.
such an underplayed and under rated song ....i love it ...brings a tear ..and That guitar work though !!!!
Alex is amazing in all he does as a guitar player. Beautiful.
AL is the cake, icing, and cherry.
Masterpiece. No other band could attempt, nevermind succeed at this brilliance!
Finally somebody reacting to that amazing song !!!! Thank you ! One of Rush's hidden gems I guess. Every Rush reviewer omits that song and that's to bad. That song and losing it are 2 of my favourites! Glad you liked it
I love this song!
Red Tide is a very underrated song from this album.
A deep cut from Rush where they show you all facets of their ability. Rush, from music to lyrics is just unsurpassable.
My favorite song on the Presto album ! Try Cold Fire on Counterparts....it was released 27 years ago today ! Great lyrics on Cold Fire !
Love your owl! Fly by night is one of my favorites!
"Pure poetry" you could sat that about a lot of RUSH songs. But if you want literal poetry check out "The Larger Bowl" 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Try Middletown dreams, Between the wheels, Digital man, Analog kid, Losing it, Turn the page , Ghost of a chance, Cold fire and Territories
Damn! Nice lineup right there!
I did Middletown dreams and territories , losing it is up but is blocked for some countries. Between the wheels is on my to do list!
Oh yes, very good list of underrated songs. I’d add High Water.
Cold Fire is a fun song!!! Great mention!
This is Rush’s best song. Period. I'm so delighted to see someone react to it for the first time. The way they move from lonely bluesy streets into soaring triumph and then back again is pure genius. God, I wish they had played it live.

I think this is probably Rush's greatest song and one of the best progressive rock songs ever. There's nothing not to love about it.
Enjoyed your reaction, keep up the great work.
Thank you 🙏
Ghost Of A Chance please!!!! You will love it if you love this:)
Neil's lyrics are beyond comparison. His ability on the drums unmatched. Plain and simple he was a gift from Heaven's unearthly estate!
Yup - I can't tell you how many times I've just played this song over and over and over again - this song never gets old!! Great review!!
Tony you’re playing a lot of my favourite deep tracks by Rush, try Everyday Glory from Counterparts.
❤️👍
Great one
@@tonebonetelevision Counterparts was some what left out of recognition as a masterpiece. When the 'Animate' begins you know after 10 seconds that this is gonna be hard one and the album will rock. When I first heard the album I fell in love immediately.

As someone who attempted suicide when I was young, "The Pass" hits hard every time. Absolutely one of the best songs they ever put out. It absolutely kills live.
There’s also an excellent cover of The Pass by Fleesh. Check it out.
Tone, Bravado Rush song is a must listen. You'll be blown away by the lyrics and music.
No doubt. Bravado is a masterpiece Can’t recommend it enough. It’s a crying song.

I can see why! 🤘😭🤘
“Run with wind and weather to the music of the sea!” My air guitar is in maximum effect every time even after 30 years.
Me as well. By the time I get to the outro everything is blurry
With Rush you really have to listen to everything. Not to much is bad and it all hits everyone differently. They really might be the best ever.
The most underrated song in the Rush catalogue. A masterpiece. Period
RUSH The greatest rock band that ever was or ever will be.

Scars is on my to do! Thanks my man 🙏
This really is a hidden gem in their catalog. One of Geddy's finest vocal performances, especially at this stage of his career.

One of the most beautiful, and beautifully written, songs I have ever heard...
Presto was so beautiful, but a chaotic departure from 1987's Hold Your Fire. New producer, more experimentation, etc. The entire 80's was this revolving door for them. But Available Light is just on some other planet of pure aesthetics.

But you can probably say that about many of their songs. They have been profound influences on me, and I am grateful for what they have left us.
Actually, Getty can play keyboards, bass, and sing simultaneously
Man I haven't listened to this song for probably 20 years. Still know every line ...
The best song they never played live. Probably my favorite vocal harmonies of any Rush song.
Having been on all phases of a Rush fan I have stayed with Moving Pictures, Signals, Power Windows and Presto as my all time favorite albums and Available Light as one of their top 3 songs. It has probably the best lyrics and voice of all Rush's song and the drums, bass, guitar and keyboards are perfectly balanced

What would we do without RUSH honestly they make my life interesting!
This is one my favorite RUSH songs from possibly my favorite RUSH record.
Geddy has great harmonies in this album. And Counterparts too.
I think this is one of the best vocal efforts that Geddy has done. The song as a whole is typical of Rush, just sublime.
Favourite Rush song right there. Simply brilliant!
Alex lifeson occasionally plays keyboard too. Also geddy controls sounds with foot pedals as well
I wondered for a time when this was first released if this song might not be their best ever. 30+ years later I think it is probably behind the likes of Limelight and Spirit of Radio; however, it is right up there with their best.
Neil's poetic nature is familial - his brother is a poet. :) Def one of the gems of their career. Beautiful.
Truly one of rush's obscure Jules from the deep calenders of thier own territory
PRESTO and ROLL THE BONES are brilliant albums. Although the musicianship is incredible and polished the highlight of the 2 albums is the amazing song writing.

The first song ANIMATE is a good start for a reaction as it is an opening statement of a going back to their roots while in thunderous form. CHEERS!!
Thanks for your feedback! Cheers!!
@@tonebonetelevision just subscribed. Keep the RUSH coming. Cheers!
@@Yes-gz9qs more rush for sure !!! Thanks for the sub 🙏
This is one of my favourite Rush songs. So beautiful and so under the radar
This happens to be my favorite song from this album.
thank you you my friend..you are doing the deep cuts and they are as good as the rest of there songs i heard all of them
Brilliant track
Sadly let down by poor production
Another underrated song you'd never believe was rush...never made the radio.. Sadly
Masterpiece. Huge cream filled long john.
Alex solo's always flow with the music... classic
A hidden classic from the greatest band ever.
@ToneBone Reactions Are you okay?
My favorite vocals by Geddy.
The first Rush album I ever owned. Spectacular stuff. Highly underrated bit of greatness.
It really is!
Truly beautiful song
One of my favorite songs
React to carve away the stone
Might be Rush’s most underrated song, imo. I just love it. I wish they played this one live. Presto is such an underrated album. Some of Neil’s best lyrics are on this album, imo.
