| | Freewill Lyrics Artist(Band):Rush
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance. A planet of playthings, We dance on the strings Of powers we cannot perceive "The stars aren't aligned, Or the gods are malign..." Blame is better to give than receive. Chorus You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice. If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill; I will choose a path that's clear I will choose freewill. There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand, The cards were stacked against them; they weren't born in Lotusland. All preordained A prisoner in chains A victim of venomous fate. Kicked in the face, You can't pray for a place In heaven's unearthly estate. Chorus Each of us A cell of awareness Imperfect and incomplete. Genetic blends With uncertain ends On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet. Chorus If you find some error in Freewill Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to Greg P for submitting the lyrics. Review about Freewill Rush..then and now | Reviewer: Autumn Owl | 8/31/09 I'll begin by saying I;m a forty-something male, who was fortunate enough to attend MANY concerts in the late 70's (as a wee lad of 14-15) and through the 80's when Rush and a select few others were THE primal, driving force in music. I attended seven Rush concerts from 1979 through 1986, and I must say, they STILL are one of my top three of all time. THINKING man's music folks..., masterfully arranged, and artistically and professionally presented. Geddy Lee and John Paul Jones were my original heroes, as a bassist for 30 years now. I can only hope future generations will appreciate them as much as mine. Walking the path of the ancient ones.... love this song | Reviewer: fanny | 8/22/09 the last part of it is the best, when he's screaming! About it being anti-religious, I think this song doesn't really care about religion, it just says that no matter how you decide to live, you must make choices, and the clearest way for that is to be aware of it by doing everything by your OWN freewill. Not anti-religion | Reviewer: Stephen | 5/9/09 I don't think this song is anti-religion as it is sometimes said to be. I think the song is about thinking of God as a guide rather than someone who controlls your every move. The "ready guide in some celestial voice" is a better choice than the "phantom fears". I love the lyrics! | Reviewer: Nate | 3/28/09 The lyrics to this song do a perfect job of capturing the reason why the determinism vs. freewill debate is and will always be irrelevant. We have no choice but to make decisions as though we had free will, whether we actually do or do not. (And to the person who said Neil Peart was an Ayn Rand Objectivist--he is not. He had said so himself in interviews. Opposing communism or supporting the free market does not make one an objectivist. It simply means you are smart! ;-) Josh has no clue | Reviewer: Me | 3/24/09 Josh clearly has no clue what he is talking about. Playing an instrument would not make you like Rush more. Playing an instrument does not give you some incredible insight into music that those who do not play miss out on. You can tell by reading his post that he probably fails at the whole life thing. If you want a new perspective on the music, listen to it high. Lyrics | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/6/09 In my opinion, just reading the lyrics aloud to yourself sounds like a poem, because of Niel Pearts incredible way with words. Almost every song has a deeper meaning behind it (ie. The Trees - Accepting your place in society without causing harm to others, Hemispheres- the balance of heart and mind, 2112- Communism DOESN'T make people happy), plus the fact that they mix music with it to create a truly awesome experience Bass guitar skill unequalled | Reviewer: Josh | 12/23/08 To/for the "average" listener, i.e., a non-musician, the music of Rush is a melding of many different sounds that comes across as "pleasant" or "cool." For those of us, obviously myself included, who are musicians, the experience(s) of the sounds of Rush are taken to an entirely different level. I don't have room here to go into a lengthy dissertation; however, let me simply invite listeners to do the following: listen to any live Rush piece, dating back even to "All The World's A Stage," and focus on Geddy Lee's bass playing, particularly while he is singing. The absolute and utter expressionism of what he is constantly doing on the bass, especially (and incredulously so) while he is belting out vocals, is beyond my comprehension as a bass player. His brain is capable of musical multi-tasking unlike any other music artist I have ever heard in any genre. What any other bassist could have done with simple root notes and melodies and been reasonably succesful from a listener's perspective, Geddy (I should call him Mr. Lee out of respect) complicates with intricacies, techniques, and complementing notes and chords often octaves lower and higher back-to-back that make the songs fuller, bigger, deeper, and more powerful than anyone else could have even dreamed of. My thanks to every member of the band, on the impossible chance that one of them reads this, for everything throughout the years... but thanks especially to Geddy Lee for expanding the outer edges of the universe for me as a bass player. All hail the genius of Rush and Ayn Rand! | Reviewer: Eric Rife | 11/15/08 Wow, you people are sooooooo right! Rush is the most incredible band to ever walk the planet! Neil Peart IS a genius! Who else could make Ayn Rand's right wing, social darwinist philosophy so palatable to rock fans? I mean, who can argue with the notion that the rich deserve everything they have and the poor are just a bunch of lazy idiots who choose their lot in life? That is like, so profound! I wish Peart would write a song about how Rand bravely testified before the HUAC in the 1950s! And why doesn't he write a song about her steadfast opposition to the civil rights movement? Wouldn't that be like, soooooooo cool? And yeah, Rush never got the credit they deserved - despite all the airtime they've had on the radio for the past 30+ years, its like no one has ever heard of them! Awesome Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/9/08 Awesome song. One of my favorites. Along with Roll The Bones, Tom Saywer, and Sprit Of Radio, none the less we must not forget about 2112. All great songs by the best of the best. Timeless and no one will ever come close to being as good as them. DAVE | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/27/08 these guys play to a whole diferent tune than most of what we here,i can't get there song freewill out of my head and its agood thing.so much is missed when we overlook our own possibilities of our true greatness within. keep rockin guys!!
