1099 Rush - Circumstances

1099 Rush - Circumstances

While in college there were albums that went with certain courses I undertook as study music; Rush's Hemispheres album was paired up with Psych 582: Advanced Social Psychology. The songs off of this album have been indelibly burnt into my mind not only because of how excellent they are, but how much an engaging that class was.
Hemispheres technically only contains four songs, this is one of the two that are at a radio-play friendly length; this one is a nice riff heavy Hard Rock track with rather introspective lyrics. In my opinion there are no real weak tracks on this album, in fact most have probably heard three of the four songs on it. The Trees, Circumstances, and the epic La Villa Strangiato still get some radio play even to this day.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
