Rush - 'Chemistry' (Official Visualizer)

Signals transmitted
Message received
Reaction making impact -
Invisibly

Elemental telepathy
Exchange of energy
Reaction making contact -
Mysteriously

Eye to I
Reaction burning hotter
Two to one
Reflection on the water
H to O
No flow without the other
Oh but how
Do they make contact
With one another?

Electricity? Biology?
Seems to me it’s Chemistry

Emotion transmitted
Emotion received
Music in the abstract -
Positively
Elemental empathy
A change of synergy
Music making contact -
Naturally

One, two, three -
Add without subtraction
Sound on sound
Multiplied reaction
H to O
No flow without the other
Oh but how
Do we make contact
With one another?

Το τραγούδι "Chemistry" το γνωρίσαμε μέσα από το ένατο full length album των Rush, "Signals" (το τρίτο μουσικό κομμάτι της πρώτης πλευράς του βινυλίου), που κυκλοφόρησε το φθινόπωρο του 1982. Την μουσική "υπογράφουν" ο Geddy Lee και ο Alex Lifeson, ενώ οι στίχοι ανήκουν και στους τρεις (Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson και Neil Peart).

About "Signals": «Signals is the band’s ninth studio album, released in 1982. It was the follow-up to the (what would become) seminal Moving Pictures album. Stylistically, the album was a continuation of Rush’s foray into the technology-oriented 1980s through increased use of electronic instrumentation such as keyboards, sequencers, and electric violin.

The songs got shorter too. In fact, “New World Man” clocked in at a swift 3:42–it was the last and quickest-composed song on the album, written primarily to even out the lengths of the two sides of the cassette version.

The opening track, “Subdivisions,” is a staple of many of the band’s tours since its recording. Signals was the band’s last collaboration with producer Terry Brown, who had co-produced every Rush album since 1975’s Fly by Night, and had engineered the eponymous first album in 1974.»
