What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

Rush - Caravan

This youtube commenter basically sums up my first impressions

initial impressions: Instrumentally unparalleled as usual but no a big fan of Geddy's vocals here. It often sounded like he wasn't singing the song being played. Maybe that was intentional, singing in a different time signature than the music.

It's almost like it was planned to be an instrumental and then Neil Peart came up with some random lyrics that Geddy decided to "sing" in a way that has almost no relationship to the music.

(the B-side of Caravan)

Better track imo... sheer ass-kicking music and the lyrics/delivery fit the song (!!!!)... think the lyrics are better, too (if a bit Snakes & Arrowsy in that Dawkins deserves a lyrics credit)

I was brought up to believe

The universe has a plan

We are only human

It's not ours to understand

The universe has a plan

All is for the best

Some will be rewarded

And the devil take the rest

All is for the best

Believe in what we're told

Blind men in the market

Buying what we're sold

Believe in what we're told

Until our final breath

While our loving Watchmaker

Loves us all to death

In a world of cut and thrust

I was always taught to trust

In a world where all must fail

Heaven's justice will prevail

The joy and pain that we receive

Each comes with its own cost

The price of what we're winning

Is the same as what we've lost

Until our final breath

The joy and pain that we receive

Must be what we deserve

I was brought up to believe
