1654 Rush - Closer to the Heart

1654 Rush - Closer to the Heart

From: A Farewell to Kings, Year: 1977
Genre: Progressive Rock/Hard Rock

Having a rather busy day today, so I thought I would just, as my aunt would say, 'homer out' and make an easy pick from one of my top favourite bands.
I suppose you could say that this was the main hit off of A Farewell to Kings, which was Rush's follow up to their epic 2112. Another song with a great mix of light acoustic, electronic, and heavy guitar music; a true delight to the ear.
I remember back when I was in college one of my music teachers had me pick and critique songs as part of the curriculum; this was the first song that I did.

Watch the music video on YouTube.
