Rush

Rush is a Canadian rock band formed in August 1968, in the Willowdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario. The band is composed of bassist, keyboardist, and lead vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist and backing vocalist Alex Lifeson, and drummer, percussionist and lyricist Neil Peart. The band and its membership went through a number of re-configurations between 1968 and 1974, achieving their iconic lineup when Peart replaced original drummer John Rutsey in July 1974, two weeks before the group's first United States tour. Rutsey's departure stemmed primarily from health concerns regarding his diabetes. In 2015 the band played their final show due to Peart's declining health. more »

 Struggling with Dog Years? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

In a dog's life
A year is really more like seven
And all too soon a canine
Will be chasing cars in doggie heaven 

It seems to me
As we make our own few circles 'round the sun
We get it backwards
And our seven years go by like one 

Dog years
It's the season of the itch
Dog years
With every scratch it reappears 

In the dog days
People look to Sirius
Dogs cry for the moon
But these connections are mysterious 

It seems to me
While it's true that every dog will have his day
When all the bones are buried
There is barely time to go outside and play 

Dog years
It's the season of the itch
Dog years
With every scratch it reappears
Dog years
For every sad son of a bitch
Dog years
With his tail between his ears 

I'd rather be a tortoise from Galapagos
Or a span of geological time
Than be living in these dog years 

In a dog's brain
A constant buzz of low-level static
One sniff at the hydrant
And the answer is automatic 

It seems to me
As well make our own few circles 'round the block
We've lost our senses
For the higher-level static of talk
