Hugh Syme, who would play keyboards on a number of Rush songs in the future, (e.g., "Different Strings" on Permanent Waves and "Witch Hunt" on Moving Pictures) contributes a multi-tracked Mellotron string and flute part to the track... |

- "Vietnam Wall":
This is simply amazing; sad, but amazing that someone thought it important enough to spend personal time to put together this info. God bless the person responsible for it.
As stated below, it's very sobering.
THis is really sobering.
Click on the link and find the city
you went to high school and look at the
names. Click on the name and
it will give details of the death.
I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country. The link below is a virtual wall of all those lost during the Vietnam war with the names, bio's and other information on our lost heroes. Those who remember that time frame, or perhaps lost friends or family can look them up on this site. You may wish to pass this link on to others so they have the opportunity to look up loved ones, also, as many knew wonderful people whose names are listed. This is definitely sobering, George! Thank you so much for sharing it with us again! ![]() |

Tears

ecorded by Rush, 1976
All of the seasons
and all of the days
All of the reasons why I've felt this way
So long...
So long
Then lost in that feeling I looked in your eyes
I noticed emotion and that you had cried
For me
I can see
What would touch me deeper...
Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes that know why?
A lifetime of questions, tears on your cheek
I tasted the answers and my body was weak
For you
The truth
What would touch me deeper...
Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes that know why?
