4. I want to look at life in the available light


Rush is undoubtedly known worldwide but it could be argued that general public is familiar mostly with the material they did from the mid 70’s to the early 80’s. Even tough the band moved further away from their more ambiguous progressive sound to more straightforward pop/rock idiom they always kept their songwriting pen sharp. One of these “lost” gems that showcases this brilliantly is the last track on the 1989 album Presto titled Available Light. The song features the singer/bassist Geddy Lee on piano this time around while Neal Peart plays the drums tight as always and Alex Lifeson delivers a nice guitar solo. The strength of the song lies in the composition and the dynamics between the more emotional verse and the energetic chorus works like a charm. In the darkest time of the year we surely need all the Available Light we can get.
