| Finding my way
(Lee/Lifeson)
Ooh, said I, I'm coming out to get you
Ooh, sit down, I'm coming out to find you
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Finding my way
I've been gone so long
I've lost count of the years
Well, I sang some sad songs
Oh yes and cried some bad tears
Look out! I'm coming
Lo |

Моё знакомство с творчеством группы Rush началось совсем недавно. Увлечённый прогрессивом, я бросился изучать их творчество конца 70-х, но с первого раза не вник, вот и решил обратиться к корням. На самом деле, мне всегда интересно, с чего начинают великие группы. Включаю диск и первые ноты "Finding My Way" бьют мне точно в мозг, параллельно проникая в сердце. Да, очень похже на Led Zeppelin, ну и что? Это не делает этот замечательный дебютник хуже. "Need Some Love" - потрясающий хард-рок с некоторыми элементами рок-н-ролла и чудным соло. "Take a Friend" сильного впечателния не произвела, а вот "Here Again" - это совсем другое дело, семь с половиной минут размереной пульсации баса, гитарных переборов, разбавленных риффами, под звук ударных - потрясающе! "What You`re Doing" своим ведущим риффом чем-то напомнила "Heartbreaker" уже упомянутых LZ. "In the Mood" - рок-н-ролльный боевичок, не сразу привлекающий внимание, но очень бодренький. От "Before and After" впечатление такое же, как и от "Take a Friend". Ну и напоследок хит на все времена - "Working Man", отличное завершение пластинки. Конечно, Rush значительно эволюционируют в своём творчестве, но последующие альбомы, которые тоже полюбились мне, когда я их понял, не заставляют забыть дебютник. |

Итак, у меня на столе самый первый альбом будущих кавалеров главного Канадского ордена за заслуги в музыкальном искустве - трио Rush. Но тогда-то они, конечно, были просто начинающими музыкантами и, скорее всего, надеялись только на локальный успех. Кто бы мог предположить, что и через тридцать лет эти парни все еще будут работать и сочинять для миллионов своих поклонников новую музыку! Основателями коллектива были басист и вокалист Гедди Ли и гитарист Алекс Лайфсон. Поначалу они работали в качестве квартета - были найдены второй гитарист Линдси Янг и барабанщик Джон Ратси. Но совсем скоро Янг покинул коллектив, и Rush раз и навсегда остались в форме трио. В 1974 году вышел их дебютный, безымянный альбом. Несмотря на явно небольшие финансовые запасы, имевшиеся у группы в карманах, диск записан весьма прилично и без особых помарок. Невооруженным взглядом видна неопытность музыкантов - Гедди настолько "косит" под Роберта Планта, что даже приходится краснеть! В музыкальном плане альбом поделен ровно пополам. Первую половину составляют песни старой закалки, то есть чистый хард-рок с сильным креном в сторону подражания, опять же, Led Zeppelin. Эти композиции сыграны с большим задором и явным энтузиазмом. И неважно, что центральный рифф ураганной вещи "What You're Doing" в чистую слизан со знаменитого пейджевского запила в "Heartbreaker", и вообще, что любого человека, хоть немного знакомого с последующим творчеством Rush, сильно коробит при прослушивании, как Гедди поет про симпатичных девушек на фоне развеселой гитарной темы ("In The Mood" или "Need Some Love") - все-таки надо отнестись к этому с пониманием. Ребята только начали, они еще не обрели собственное лицо и просто подражают своим кумирам (но заметьте, делают это очень качественно!). Впрочем, остальная половина диска недвусмысленно дает понять - перед нами команда с большим потенциалом. Очень показательна в этом плане "Here Again" - немного упрощенный, но все же явный арт-рок (сложные переходы и философский текст в наличии). Ну а в конце нас ждет один из главных хитов за всю карьеру Rush, великолепный мелодичный эпик "Working Man". Подводим итог. У группы получился хороший и добротный дебют, немного отягощенный заимствованиями, но уже вполне показывающий, что последует далее. Талант, как говорится, издали видно. |

I'm running
Finding my way back home
Ooh, said I, I'm coming back to look for you
Ooh, sit down, I'm going by the back door
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Finding my way
You've done me no right
But you've done me some wrong
Left me lonely each night
While I sing my sad song
Look out! I'm coming
Look out! I'm coming
I'm running
Finding my way back home
I'm coming
Ooh, babe, I said I'm running
Whoa, babe, I said I'm coming to get you, mama
Said I'm running
Ooh, babe, I said I'm coming for you, babe
I said I'm running
Ooh yes, babe, I said I'm coming to get you, babe
I said I'm coming
I'm finding, I'm finding my way back home
Well, I've had it for now, living on the road
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Finding my way
Need some love
(Lee/Lifeson)
I'm running here, I'm running there
I'm looking for a girl
'Cause there's nothing I need, there's nothing I want more
In the whole wide world
Well, I need it quick and I need it now
Before I start to fade away
That's why I'm searching, that's why I'm looking
Each and every day
Ooh, I need some love
I said I need some love
Ooh yes, I need some love
This feeling I can't rise above
Well, I been hustling here, I been hustling there
I been searching for about a week
And I started feeling this strange sensation
My knees are starting getting weak
Well, I need what keeps a young man alive
I'm saying I need it now
I'm gonna get the message across to you
Someway, somehow
Ooh, I need some love
I said I need some love
Ooh yes, I need some love
This feeling I can't rise above
Ooh, I need some love
I said I need some love
Ooh yes, I need some love
This feeling I can't rise above
Take a friend
(Lee/Lifeson)
Well, I'm looking at you
And I'm wondering what you're gonna do
Looks like you got no friends
No one to stick with you 'till the end
Take yourself a friend
Keep'em 'till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good, so good
Yes, you think you're all right
But now you're lonely every night
Well, you need a friend
Someone on whom you can always depend
Take yourself a friend
Keep'em 'till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good, so good
Yes, you need some advice
Well, let me put it to you nice
I said you need a friend
Someone who'll stick with you to the end
Take yourself a friend
Keep'em 'till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
Take yourself a friend
Keep'em 'till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
Take yourself a friend
Keep'em 'till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good, so good
Here again
(Lee/Lifeson)
I said I played this song
So many times before
That the melody keeps repeating
Growing new ideas
Flowing chords and notes
Like a mountain river bleeding
Well, I say as I look back
At all the thoughts I've had
They reflect just what I'm learning
Yes, you know that the hardest part
Yes, I say it is to stay on top
On top of a world forever churning
Well, you say you can laugh
But I can see that your eyes are glass
Well, do you see? Can't you see what I'm feeling?
Yes, I've seen your face before
Why? I've seen it everywhere
Showing up to me without a scent revealing
Well, I said will it ever change?
Will it stay the same?
I'd surely like to know before it's over
Well, I said I played some
I said it won't be long
Won't be long before I stop and play it over
You know I've, I've seen your face before
Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?
Oh, I've, I've been in one place too long
Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?
You know I've, I've seen your face before
Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?
Oh, I've, I've been in one place too long
Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?
What you're doing
(Lee/Lifeson)
Well, I see you standing there
With your finger in the air
Everything we do
You wanna leave it up to you
Who do you think you are?
You think you are a star?
Trying to run the town
Always trying to put us down
Well, you think that you're right
You think you're out of sight
Tell me something, mister
Why'd you have to make us so uptight?
Well, you say you've been trying
You know that you're lying
I think you need some grooving
Who do you think you're fooling now?
Well, you better start changing
Your life needs rearranging
You better do some talking
Or you better do some walking now
Yeah, you think that you're right
You think you're out of sight
Tell me something, mister
Why'd you have to make us so uptight?
I know what you're doing
All that you've been doing wrong
I don't know what you're feeling
Oh but you've been feeling long
Well, you think that you're right
Tell me something, mister
Why'd you have to make us so uptight?
I know what you're doing
All that you've been doing wrong
I don't know what you're feeling
Oh but you've been feeling long
Well, you think that you're right
Tell me something, mister
Why'd you have to make us so uptight?
In the mood
(Lee)
Hey now, baby
Well, I like your smile
Won't you come and talk to me
For a little while?
Well, you're making me crazy
The way you roll them eyes
Won't you come and sit with me?
I'll tell you all my lies
Hey, baby! It's a quarter to eight
I feel I'm in the mood
Hey, baby! The hour is late
I feel I've got to move
Well, hey now, baby
Don't you talk so fast
I'm just trying to make these good times
I'm trying to make it last
Everything's getting hazy
Now honey, where'd you go?
I just want to find out, baby
Where'd you learn what you know
Hey, baby! It's a quarter to eight
I feel I'm in the mood
Hey, baby! The hour is late
I feel I've got to move
Well, hey now, baby
I said I like your style
You really got me, baby
Way down deep inside
Ooh, you drive me crazy
Baby, you're the one
I just want to rock and roll you woman
Until the night is gone
Hey, baby! It's a quarter to eight
I feel I'm in the mood
Hey, baby! The hour is late
I feel I've got to move
Before and after
(Lee/Lifeson)
Love won't see me coming
On a Sunday noon today
Still don't believe we're fading
But now the world should wait
And now you're finally listening
To what I have to say
Well, the time is right
And it is today
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe we could talk about it
And try to get it straight
After all these years, baby
Maybe it's too late
But I really need to
Have you by my side
And that's the only feeling
Baby, I can't hide
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, you aren't listening, I ain't talking
We ain't getting nowhere
I keep trying to get through to you, baby
All you do is stare
I don't wanna see that
I need you by my side
Well, I don't want to be your lover
Babe, I wanna be your man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, now my story's over, baby
And I ain't gonna tell it twice
Well, you better start listening
Or get out of my life
Or you're gonna be left out
I said left out in the cold
Yeah, before you get my loving
Babe, you'll be too old
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, I'm talking to you, baby
Well, I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Working man
(Lee/Lifeson)
I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for living
Yes, I'm working all the time
It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the working man
They call me the working man
I guess that's what I am
I get home at five o'clock
And I take myself out a nice, cold beer
Always seem to be wondering
Why there's nothing going down here
It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the working man
Well, they call me the working man
I guess that's what I am
I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for living
Yes, I'm working all the time
It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the working man
They call me the working man
I guess that's what I am
