This is one of my favorite albums by them because it was the first concert I ever saw in my life I will never forget this They did the whole album It was fantastic. Imagine being a 15-year-old kid and you've never heard of this band and your neighbor who's a couple years older than you comes up to you around 5:30 in the evening and says do you want to go to a concert tonight... I've never been to a concert you beg your mother to go she allows you to go and you sit down to a general admission concert with 10 of your friends in the neighborhood and you see this band for the very first time in your life not hearing a single song by them before and you watch the permanent waves tour performance... I was a fan immediately...
Great Memory 👍🏻. It was this album that blew me away and I became a lifelong fan, too. I was a few years older but that they’d come to my town (Indy) a week or two before my brother came home from College Spring Break with this album and dropped the needle on TSOR and the rest of the album - I was blown away and hooked from that day. I had to wait until the March 1981 Moving Pictures Tour stop and by then I pretty much knew every song they played by heart . I don’t remember if they played this song - I don’t think 🤔 ever heard it live 🤷🏻♂️
Rush has lots of hidden gems that aren't heard. I have listened to Rush since 1976 and I can tell you that Rush always has a song that you can somehow relate to no matter what your going through in your life. Neil's lyrics have helped me countless times.
Beautiful. 😌 Thank you, Daniel. 🙏🏼 In honor of my dad. 💙 5/17/31 - 3/18/21 Until we meet again... 💜💫✌🏼🎵 *Rush Rules* "Different Strings" - another beauty. 🎶
First time I was properly introduced to Rush, I was 15 yrs old and my older boyfriend (18/19yro) did it. Then, when I was 16, he took me to my first Rush concert-1982. I was already RUSH-crazy with a MAJOR crush on Alex Lifeson, so I screamed my head off and had the time of my life. Everyone who knew me, knew I was a RUSH nut and now I’m 55 and they are STILL my favorite band of all-time! I was sooo lucky because I was able to see them 13 More times and each time was superb. They are one of those bands you never outgrow, you grow-WITH. “Welcome” to RUSH. It’s such a joy watching someone new to them discover greatness.😊 J in Tx
Entre Nous: Between us. The French pronunciation is simply: 'On-truh new.' I always thought this song might be about English Canada's relationship with Québec. It works very well on that level also. Might be why they chose to title it in French. - - - There's a great novel by Canadian author Hugh MacLennan called 'Two Solitudes' about this very subject. Themes are so similar. Merci d'avoir choisi celui-ci Daniel! (Thanks for this choosing this one Daniel!) Oh, et joyeuses Pâques !!! (Oh, and Happy Easter!!!)
Great tune, great reaction! 'Nous' is pronounced like 'new', 'Entre' is 'On - truh', and yes, the translation is Between Us. Learning French is mandatory for all of us Canadians (up to high school) as we are a bilingual country. I've forgotten so much of my French, but pronunciation is not a problem. Permanent Waves is such a superb album!
If I'm remembering "Beyond the Lighted Stage" correctly, this song helped Billy Corgan connect with his mother on a different level. You never know the impact a turn of a phrase will have on your life.
Yes, this song did signal, along with "Spirit of the Radio", that Rush was truly turning the corner and taking a new direction in song writing. Perfectly captures 1980's music, yet it's still grounded in Rock.
you can listen to a million bands, but you'll always come back to RUSH. They are unique, they are the best, they are unrivalled - and even better live. So glad to have lived while these guys were playing - thankful I made 32 gigs.
I might be misremembering but I was pretty sure they played the whole album when I went to see them on tour.... It was my first exposure to them but I was with friends that knew them and the album and were exclaiming how they couldn't believe they played the whole album... So I always went with it... It was anoverwhelming experience for sure but I was pretty sure they played the whole album including this song. However it could just be a legend in my own mind.
@@daveking9393 you may be right. Permanent Waves was the first tour I saw, I just don’t remember them playing this. My abiding memory from that concert was Xanadu.
I think the only one you haven’t heard yet from this album is probably one of my favorite short ballads “Different Strings” Great lyrics in that one too
My dad, WWII generation, HATED hippies and HATED rock music. In 1978, I showed him some of Neil's lyrics and he thought it was written by a poet or famous writer (in a way, it was). He said it was brilliant writing. Then I told him it was from a rock band and showed him a band photo. He was quite angry because he'd been fooled but couldn't escape the profundity of Neil's lyrics. Throughout the day, he kept bitterly repeating, "Damn those guys are brilliant!"
Early Rush is great, but this album is where they really started putting it all together. Where they became not just monster musicians, but monster song writers as well. Production also suddenly jumped a few notches on this record. May be my favorite Rush record along with the record that followed. My 5 favorite Rush records came all in a row. Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Signals, Grace Under Pressure, and Power Windows. Maybe in that order with #1 and #2 swapping places at times.
I absolutely loooove this song, and the instrumental break that starts at 4:08 is one of my favorite Rush moments ever...much like in their song 'Totem,' released years later, I just wanted it to go on forever!
One of my all-time favorite tracks by Rush - one that should've been a hit single IMHO. It's such a well constructed song and the lyrics have a beautiful message. I really love the drums in the intro and the bass in the bridge section in particular. Permanent Waves remains my favorite Rush album - it has been pretty much from the day I got it on vinyl in 1980. Another hidden gem is Cinderella Man from A Farewell to Kings. Would love for you to check that one out. 👍
The important thing to me is that not only are we secrets to each other, we are secrets to ourselves in many ways. We will never fully know who we are. Just my 2 cents.
I always viewed the line "The spaces in-between leave room for you and I to grow" as a double meaning. The obvious one is that two people sometimes need their own 'space' to grow as people. We all need our alone time. I always view this secondarily as the band telling itself and its fans/audience that the spaces in-between each song on its records - the blank space between the grooves of each song - is the rest, the down time, that is necessary to separate each song; each tune is unique and requires the spaces in-between. P.S. Daniel. Please react to the fast-paced Rush rocker Best That I Can. It's little heard on radio and I don't know anyone who has reacted to it. It's a great little flat out rocking tune. Simple lyrics, hard- driving music.
Daniel, I definitely agree with you that Neil is one of the best lyrical writers ever. It is also amazing to me how Rush was able to create such great music to marry the lyrics to and of course Geddy's heartfelt singing. There is a book that I read discussing Neil's writings and their meanings titled, Neal Peart: Cultural Repercussions by Bradley J. Birzer, that I would highly recommend for further insights into Neil's writing.
this was always my favorite rush song, i thought it was a secret masterpiece only i knew about for years and years since this album came out come to find out EVERYONE LOVED IT FOR YEARS AND YEARS everyone just didn't say anything about it it was almost sacred, to personal a love to dare even talk about but eventually someone finally broke and said "i think this song is a masterpiece" then everyone else said "yeah, me too" it seems to have happened all at once ONLY THIRTY YEARS AFTER THE ALBUM CAME OUT there is no permanently holding back true greatness
You know it's going to be a good day when you wake to a notification from Dicon Dissectional Reactions :) Rush was part of the soundtrack of my youth. I've always been more of music person and never really paid attention to the lyrics unless they absolutely stood out to me. I love that you do take apart the lyrics and open my eyes to a different take and view to the songs.
Great track. The phrase Entre Nous comes from Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" meaning a secret between two individuals - personal. It is said the Neil felt Entre Nous between him and the audience. Remember it's personal.
Great song... one of my favorites from Rush. Controlled track from the musicianship standpoint, but top-notch lyrics. Very underrated in their vast catalogue... it never gets old, and I'm in my mid 50's now 😮.
This is one of the best songs from them. At least in my opinion. Seen them in the late 80's. But, hell, I have seen most of the greats from then. From the Stones to Rob Zombie, I have seen a lot of great bands and feel blessed.
I was so thrilled when they played this on the Snakes & Arrows tour. Was great to hear it live. Permanent waves is a superb album, one of their top 3 in my opinion.
Great song! They should have made this a single, back in 1980. They finally played it on the Snakes & Arrows tour! This is one of the small subset of songs from their catalog that deals with love relationships between people. Other songs of that kind are "Open Secrets" (from Hold Your Fire), "Ghost of a Chance" (from Roll The Bones), and "Cold Fire" (from Counterparts). Tasty tunes!
A good song,great lyrics, can't go wrong with old rush! Have you done camera eye , analog kid or countdown? Thanks Daniel...good breakdown of the lyrics!
Here's a great interview with Neil from 1980. I remember listening to it live on the radio. Jim Ladd does a great job, despite mispronouncing Neil's last name (very common before Moving Pictures, and even today). I think Neil was too polite to correct him. Anyway, if you go to about 15 minutes in, there's a section on Entre Nous, and Neil talks about the song's intended meaning. Enjoy! m.ruclips.net/video/ODctr6co3gY/видео.html
NIIIIIICCCCCEEEEEE!!! :) OF COURSE. I JUST LOVE THAT YOU'RE GONNA GO THROUGH TULL AND RUSH STUFF, THAT'S AWESOME, JUST SHOWS YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE IN GREAT MUSIC DANIEL! :)
I think the clue to the meaning of the song is in the French title. Rush are from Canada, and I think the song can masquerade as a personal relationship song, but is really about the relationship between the French speaking population, who live mostly in Quebec, which has language laws which discourage the use of English, and the English speakers who live in the rest of Canada. The bridges refers to the fact that Canada is officially bilingual, and to get a federal government job or run for federal office you have to speak French. Some of the French want separation from the rest of Canada, and many want recognition as a "distinct society" within Canada. There is a well known book from 1945 called The Two Solitudes about the lack of communication between the English and French in Canada, who live beside each other in a sometimes uneasy relationship "alone and yet together", the "sliding panels" being not just the physical borders between Quebec and the rest of Canada, but also the language laws which make living together more palatable for the French. (The French were the first settlers, but lost a war to the English in 1763.) I think Neil knew the song would be taken to be about a relationship by non Canadians, but that the song has this whole other meaning.
@@daveking9393 1980 was the year of the Quebec referendum. Voting to stay in Canada or not. If you were in Canada at the time, you were thinking about the relationship between the English and the French.

I agree about Neil as a poet/lyricist. As far as deep, profound, clever and beautiful lyrics, it's a tie for me, between him, and Joni Mitchell. They both could really turn a phrase, and capture your heart! Very nice reaction, Daniel!
ONLY SIX SONGS ON THIS ALBUM.... You need to finish out the last of the songs on this album permanent waves... Different Strings so that you can make a playlist and we can listen to all of them and album order or at least if I could request you could consider doing that sometime in the near future. Thank you. And you can put that vinyl on and listen to it the way it was meant to be listen to...
The rhythms in this song are outstanding, very tight performance. I’d like to make a request for a wonderful Easter season song. “Easter Theater” by XTC.
OMG, Daniel....one of my favorite Rush songs from my favorite Rush album. It's pronounced "AhnTray New". If you're going to keep listening to Rush, you might want to take some French lessons...or message me for translation (4 years of HS French). Good thing you haven't reacted yet to The Beatles' "Michelle" or Billy Joel's "C'etat Tois"...you might get a migraine 🤣 And I won't even request reactions to Edit Piaf.
Thanks for returning to Rush. I know you’ve done a fair amount, but there is still a lot of untapped greatness to explore! Give Secret Touch from Vapor Trails a spin!
Ok. How about the exact opposite of Rush? 20 yo Moroccan-Canadian singer-songwriter with a stunning voice, who sounds best when it’s just her and a piano. Only thing she has in common with the guys from Rush, is the blinding need to make music, and perhaps an interesting take on the lyrics and chords. Check out Faouzia. Any of her songs are unique. From the stripped live version of a song called “Elon” to a song from a couple years ago called “Bad Dreams” to her recent duet with John Legend, “Minefields”. She’s not well known yet. But she will be.
Hey if you want to react to another canadian band that's equal to and in someways better than rush try the guess who, or triumph. Neil Young is another superior musician. The guess who and Neil Young are from my home city of Winnipeg.
You seem to like Canadian rock and roll. You need to check out a band called The Tragically Hip, and you need to check out a band called The Guess Who. If you are unfamiliar with The Tragically Hip, start off doing a reaction of the documentary of the final Tour........
I guess no one reacts to Rush's "Hero" because it got a good deal of radio play. Might be too "commercial" for some sensibilities. I do not suffer from such an infliction.
I believe it's pronounced On-Tray Noose Definitely one of my favorite RUSH songs. The lyrics are so good. I'm wrong. It's On tray new Thanks VeryBarry for the correction
So just a question: does your school require exposure to a foreign language to graduate? When I was in high school, this was required....I’m not suggesting you should know how to pronounce “entre nous”. (En-tray new by the way).......just wondering if you are studying Spanish, German or some other language...?
This is one of my favorite albums by them because it was the first concert I ever saw in my life I will never forget this They did the whole album It was fantastic.

*Rush Rules*
"Different Strings" - another beauty. 🎶
This track almost sounds like it could be on Hemispheres, especially the bridge.
Speaking of "bridge", this record sounds like a bridge between 70's Rush and 80's Rush where they hit the stratosphere in airplay and popularity.
Another number that was new to me. Not bad, not bad at all. These guys were really good instrumentally. I can see why they have such a big fan base.
First time I was properly introduced to Rush, I was 15 yrs old and my older boyfriend (18/19yro) did it. Then, when I was 16, he took me to my first Rush concert-1982. I was already RUSH-crazy with a MAJOR crush on Alex Lifeson, so I screamed my head off and had the time of my life.

“The spaces in between leave room for you and I to grow”. This song contains some of my favorite lines from Peart.
Entre Nous: Between us. The French pronunciation is simply: 'On-truh new.'

Always a joy to rediscover Rush through your eyes, ears and thoughts.
Keep them coming
Been a fan since moving pictures and I still get catch new things from RUSH songs.
Great art never dies.
RIP Neil
You can't go wrong with RUSH! Excellent! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🎼🎶🎶

Permanent waves is one of my top Rush albums, right up there with moving pictures, 2112, and hemispheres. Love this song
Ah ah, don’t forget a Farewell to Kings!
Great reaction and review. It's amazing this band can blow out songs like 2112 and then have something this quietly beautiful.
I’ve always thought this track was underrated. I don’t think they played it live until much later on.
I might be misremembering but I was pretty sure they played the whole album when I went to see them on tour....

This is my theme song. It speaks to me on such a visceral level. It might be my favorite song of all time. Not just from Rush.

1980 was the year of the Quebec referendum. Voting to stay in Canada or not. If you were in Canada at the time, you were thinking about the relationship between the English and the French. The ‘60s and 70s had been turbulent times in Quebec. 1970, the Quebec Liberation Front kidnapped and killed the deputy premiere of the province. The federal government invoked the war measures act.

Any of her songs are unique. From the stripped live version of a song called “Elon” to a song from a couple years ago called “Bad Dreams” to her recent duet with John Legend, “Minefields”.
She’s not well known yet. But she will be.
Mad River / Eastern light
Please do witch hunt. Losing it. Nobody's hero. The pass. Ghost rider.
8:30 It should be called "Anti-Social Distancing".
Enter Nous pronounced like Ontray New
Hey if you want to react to another canadian band that's equal to and in someways better than rush try the guess who, or triumph. Neil Young is another superior musician. The guess who and Neil Young are from my home city of Winnipeg.
Great react!
Love this song
For me is a top three from Power Trio
Best intro ever!
Nice reaction. You should react to Far Cry as it really relates to your generation.
The correct pronunciation in French would be "ontra new".
What site were you on that had those classic groups on it, please? Links you post do not appear on IPads....
Ms . Chuck is correct. When pronouncing the phrase emphasize tray and to will sound french!🤭
You seem to like Canadian rock and roll. You need to check out a band called The Tragically Hip, and you need to check out a band called The Guess Who. If you are unfamiliar with The Tragically Hip, start off doing a reaction of the documentary of the final Tour........
Hello again Angie has a new cover out, all I ask by Adele. The easy way is to say that is her best performance by far. Please react👍👍
I guess no one reacts to Rush's "Hero" because it got a good deal of radio play. Might be too "commercial" for some sensibilities. I do not suffer from such an infliction.
I believe it's pronounced On-Tray Noose
Definitely one of my favorite RUSH songs. The lyrics are so good.
I'm wrong. It's On tray new
Thanks VeryBarry for the correction
I believe it is On tray new
@@verribarry ah, I think you're right. Thanks for the correction
On-truh new.
@@neilens1589 truh or tre? I like it either way though 🙂
@@Lightmane Me too!
Pronounced On-Tray-New.
So just a question: does your school require exposure to a foreign language to graduate? When I was in high school, this was required....I’m not suggesting you should know how to pronounce “entre nous”. (En-tray new by the way).......just wondering if you are studying Spanish, German or some other language...?
I took way too much laxative this morning. I’ll never do that again cause I’ve had enough of this SHIT!
“ON-tray nu” is how to pronounce the title.
Pronounced "On Tray New"
"On-trey New"
Pronounced; On*tray New
