Spending an Afternoon listening to Rush is highly enjoyable.

Best Rush song, then again, I always say that after I listen to one.

If you were expecting lyrical crap,i guess you will leave disappointed..The man was brilliant,a genius for lack of a better term..Heaven has gained a true poet,monster drummer,and a voice for millions ..Rest easy Professor..You wll be sorely missed!!!

the overall atmosphere of this song is sort of magic, especially with headphones, the instruments are somehow different than in the rest of the album, theres a special echo in Geddy's voice on the second half of the song; Neal's toms are way deep, the bass is out of this world and the guitar strumming is evolving; a perfect song to listen on the road while one travels alone in comfortable car with good stereo system.

''I feel the sense of possibilities, I feel the wrench of hard realities'' As long as you are aware of both you can remain sane...

I think this guitar solo is amazing at the end, but Geddy's background bass makes it even cooler.

that happens alot with rush songs seems the longer it takes to learn to understand them the longer you love them

One of my favorite of the hidden treasure basslines of Geddy Lee. Just killer.

These 3 men from Toronto have influenced my life for over 40 years, told my wife to bury me with Rush shirt on, yeah big fan !

Yet another Rush classic, probably the most brilliant 3 piece band ever

My favorite song off Moving Pictures. It is legendary indeed.

I love how Rush was influenced by many bands and genres. This period they were listening to Talking Heads, Ultravox, and The Police etc; etc;. Always, being open to new sounds and textures to the music.

The same 16 people that thumbs downed this video are the people that enjoy Super bowl halftime shows.

My dad started playing this song in the van on the way home, and me and my brother just looked at each other and started headbanging. It's probably one of the greatest songs i've ever heard. Such a shame that Harry Styles happens to have a Rush t-shirt, probably doesn't know who the bloody hell they are!

That last instrumental is incredible, both Alex & Geddy are both soloing, while Neil holds it together ! This album transcends time. A brilliant, polished gem!!!!

The all time greatest true Rock Band!!!!!!

This song is sooooooo good

I am 53. Rush fan at the age of 12. I been saying for 25 years Neil Peart best ever

As always with Rush amazing musicianship,I play this to anyone who's neaver heard them,Alex's solo is scintillating! Rip Neil x

always a favorite! love how simple it starts, and just keeps building and growing till it just kicks in! incredible!

Oh Rush, what an amazing band. First time i discovered them was about now 9 years ago very enjoyable music while i watch the snow fall from my window, the coldest winter in my town even the water pipes broke down. Gonna miss this band to much! R.i.p drummer Neil Peart.

RUSH has always been the whole package

Neil writes, Getty sings, Alex brings in the emotions. There is an interview with Getty where he expounded on the process some. It is his job to take Neil's words and make them come to life. To make them believable. He must take the lyrics and make them his own. I can not listen to this song and not think about Getty's immeasurable talents! Three musical geniuses, for certain! But the entire Rush enterprise from the stage crew, to the graphic artists who present the album covers and video clips that enhance the live shows are truly unparalleled. Not just in Rock music, but in all of music genres and artistic endeavors. I feel sad for anyone who missed out on this unprecedented group of lifelong friends. When I am feeling sad & lonely, I listen to Rush, when I am happy & exillerated I listen to Rush. Anxious? Rush. Relaxing? Rush... I do hope Alex & Getty follow through soon on a collaboration of some sort. I would even love to see a new "Mockumentory" full of their boundless humor and style. Though I cannot imagine it without the Professor, I count on the old guys to pick it back up without the "New Guy"

For some reason, I never used to like this song. It has since become my favourite Rush song.

'' I feel the sense of possibilities I feel the wrench of hard realities The focus is sharp in the city ''

I'm blessed to have seen Rush on the Moving Pictures tour. Their fellow Canadians FM opened, and I really enjoyed their set. I remember that I thought "wow, Rush really has a tough act to follow!".....Wrong....All Rush had to do was walk on stage, and the audience was in the palm of their hands.

It never fails to amaze me how Geddy weaves his bass lines throughout his vocals. Astounding!

No dislikes...keep it that way. If you dislike a Rush song, your immoral

love Peart's lyrics. This song is a gem. After not paying that much attention to lyrics, I'm compelled by this song to study Neil's work.

easily my favorite Rush song ever. Geddy may have some of the best singing around...but the instrumental to this song is legendary. RUSH FOREVER!

Unless your tone-deaf this is an amaxing song!! I have been a lover of rush 36 for years and i still love every song! The Camera Eye is definately one of my fav's!

god, I love the sound of that Rickenbacker bass

I always have this song in my head especially when it drizzles when I go to Manhattan to watch River Plate play at Legend's on 33rd bet 5th and Broadway-across from the Empire State Building. When you look up and you lose the building in the clouds like Neil/Geddy describe I never get tired of it.

The perfect song to do a time lapse to.

Geddy's bass... it's from another world. Amazing!

If you're not wearing headphones for this, you should be.

Rush, more than any other band I grew up listening to, plays the music that dominates the soundtrack of my life from 13 to 30. First of many consecutive tours ,77 Hemispheres to 91 Roll the Bones, with one exception, 87 Hold your Fire. Super bummed I missed the farewell tour. Even more bummed we've lost one of rocks greatest drummers and lyricists. There will only be one Professor.

@MsSoftballchik99 this is Rush once you hit play the only thing you do is sit there and have your mind blown by the awesome music.

An angular mass of New Yorkers,just brilliant imagery

Best ending line EVA!!!

I love alex lifesons guitar playing in this the chords arpeggios and that tasty solo at the end

Everyone I play this for ends up loving it, whether they’ve heard of Rush or not. That riff is so rocking and poppy at the same time. Even my lesser-minded EDM friends love it because the riff is so catchy and easy to digest.

listening to his while in new york makes this even more epic!

You can almost picture the hustle and bustle of the big city when listening to this awesome song. Another one of my fav Rush songs

Interesting song a freelance photographer capturing the beauty we fail to enjoy in our hurried life and ugliness we try to ignore .Are we oblivious ?

"In The Leaden Sky YEAHHH!!!

Who comes up with lyrics like that? Insane

A classic! F ing love this song!!

We Frisbee boys jammed on Rush in our prime time in Washington state! Cruising in Seattle was and still the shit! We did tournaments in Vancouver,B.C-Queen E park & (Pender island) we always had our Rush go with us to all our events! Started it all with the Archives album1977.. only 15 and still to this day 2019( winter) I'm still a great fan! All the way to the grave is how it's gotta be!

I was listening to this in the background while doing assignments for my coding teacher and usually when I mess up I get really PO'd but while listening to Rush it definitely cools me down.

Rush Rocks

I'm a bass player. Imagine having that drummer and guitarist backing? Stuff dreams r made of.

Incredible song ❤

I play this album over and over in the car. Never disappointing!! Always KICKS ASS!!

If this is the best song off their best album, does that make this their best song?

When they played this song @ MSG during the Time machine tour last year, place went wild. Cant wait for clockwork Angels At pridential in newark this Oct

Such nice sample and hold on the intro synth...

Happy to be 667, this song did not deserve to park in the previous

Amazing song.

"I feel the sense of possibilities, I feel the wrench of hard realities."

Their masterpiece!

19 people didn't see what the cameras eye saw. That's a shame. I love to see what the cameras eye sees.

I really appreciate having the printed lyrics. My hearing is fine but for some reason when it comes to music I just can't understand all the lyrics. Thank you!

This one is a chef d'oeuvre!!

I love as he goes from his rotos to the floor tom the sound in my headphones follows him from left to right :D

My favorite Rush song!

Rush is greatness

Awesome HEAVENLY

This is the entry of Exit Stage Left but i love the start.

Every time I listen to this I've died and went to heaven

add to favourites - y wait? The focus is sharp.

so glad I got tix for Oct 20 !

Alex Lifeson solo on this song unreal

Especially on a quiet night, with only The Lord above watching over and shielding me from the evildoers and gaining wisdom from His word the Bible and the lyrics and music of rush.. As powerful mr pearts lyrics are, I am in no wise putting an equal value on the 2. God's word is sovereign. rush's are 2nd to no other band in the music industry

"The Focus is Sharp in the City"

The song behind my username on PlayCatan - "cameraeye" - and now my signature username, cameraREDeye. This is it right here. Not trying to brag; I just thought I'd give a little background info about what inspired my current username. This song, along with the fact that I used to be the camera man for my church's youth group back in 2011-2012, which got me to the point where I was running the cameras (yes, there were multiple) for main church services and even a few special events, is the reason I chose the nickname which was originally "cameraeye." The "RED" part came in when I started listening to Red which is a very in-your-face modern Christian rock band, and also the name of my favorite color. Also, a camera can have "red-eye" visual enhancements as well; hence, "cameraREDeye." God bless these guys from Rush who even bothered to write songs like this :D RushLyricsOnScreen Thanks for the video too! :)

My number #1 #RUSH rules #NYCguy

@Eduardo Petter those voices are Neil and Ged trying to speak in British accents. The first one that sounds kind of like a fart, is neil saying "hello" and the second is geddy saying "morn governor". These voices are heard loud and clear in the isolated bass track

Camera Eye - I love NY - 800+ languages spoken there (in NYC) either the downfall or redemption of mankind.

what an underrated song. I guess you can't expect much airplay from an 11 minute song

At the beginning, it sounds like the guitar is going "woooow" "woooow" "woooow" "woooow"................wow indeed.

Love this.

about the last long stretch for a song I have to go through in order to complete MISSION: Headlong Flight. I thot they got their musical insp. from Aaron Copland. This is stupendous.

I feel the sense of possibilities I feel the wrench of hard realities

That was great! Thanks.

I'm about to go on a witch hunt for the 2 people who disliked it. I bet ya they're just mad because they tried to hitch a ride home in ged's limo and he didn't let them, because we all know that he can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend

The opening to this always makes me think of the opening scene of Mirror's Edge.

I'm sure they never imagine what's happening to currently it's happening to London in the last few years, and like most musicians they're silently witnessing, and not signing about it.

Reaction burning hotter...

CAhboom, I love rush!

Im drumbing with two penicles, !! On my desk.. Wow \

@MsSoftballchik99 you have to play it while you're driving to get the full effect.

Okay, whoever is the one person who disliked this is going to be hunted down without mercy

Reflection on the water.

probably someone not from New York or London cos their home wasn't mentioned in this kick ass song!

its almost like they have super powers. still to this day they exhibit remarkable musicianship. i think i spelled that right

happy 50

There, their, they're...it'll be ok! :)~

I'm sure Geddy shredded some strings on his bass starting at 9:15

@andrewhurricane true, so true
