Rush - Second Nature (with lyrics) video free download

+Benoit Vanhees The lyrics identify the song as an "open letter" to anyone who is in a position of power. It can be about something specific if you like, but I think it can be applied to any dichotomy between those in charge of things and those who actually do things. It's about seeking that balance (as Neil has written about many times) and the compromise that's sometimes necessary "...but I'm ready to make a deal." The flames he mentions aren't literal; they have no color. They represent the negative forces that keeps us from attaining the said balance...we are all guilty of keeping those forces going even as we lament their negative effects. This doesn't mean there is no hope. We all have the power to choose "Folks have got to make choices"....Also, the hope lies in the fact that someone is thinking about this stuff and making a rock song out of it.

OK, so the lyrics are Neil's best, but can someone explain me what the song is about ? Is it about the crazy ratrace, is it about air pollution, about people living in bubbles and not communicating with other people than with their own little incrowd or what ? I mean, an open letter to let's say a Captain of Industry should have a clear message, and to me, it isn't that clear at all. Where's that "fire", and what color exactly does the flames of it have ?

i think this period was neils best work lyrically. power windows, hyf and presto. before this it mostly corny prog lyrics, although still well written. after this period he started getting lazy writing cringe worthy lyrics about sex and all the religious hating stuff on their recent albums. but those 3 albums were neils best lyrics.

Man, I'd love it if they played this on their tour this year. Alex said he wants to do rarer material for the special celebration of 40 years, and as far as I know, they've never played this live at all.

When it comes to lyrics, these have to be considered as among Neil's best. Just as relevant today as it was back in '87.

Power Windows and this one, while not among their very best albums do in my opinion have some of their best lyrics.

Agreed! I'm one of the people who liked your comment, but it's not true if you ask Geddy. An interviewer once asked him what regrets he's had over his career. Geddy had one thing to say: "Tai Shan". haha I love every song, too, though.

There are many hidden gems in Rush's discography, this is one of them.

I think this is one Rush's best albums. It's deep in a low key way. . . tre cool. Shame it doesn't get, really, any air play.

PackersBrewersROCK

It's so creative and unique, and to me that's what makes it so cool.
