Song 515 ( Rush - Nocturne )



This is one of my favorite tracks from their album Vapor Trails, which is thought by most Rush fan to be their comeback album after their hiatus during the late 90's - early '00s. What originally got me liking this song was the opening line: "Did I have a dream, or did the dream have me?"
I actually kind of like the stripped down sound that they used throughout; it made their sound quite fresh. I especially love Geddy's use of chords on the bass, which allowed Alex Lifeson more freedom on his guitar work. However, ever since I first heard this album I thought that there was a something wrong with the mastering because of the amount of clipping and lack of depth that can heard through the album on most songs. With that aside in my opinion the album and this song are pretty good, a testament to the longevity of their song writing abilities.

Hear Nocturne on YouTube.
