Limelight



I decided to my weekly blog on a RUSH song called Limelight. This song is based on the whole thought of being famous and understanding that you cannot let the stardom get to you and think you are better and you are not like normal day to day people. The text is like what I just wrote about, it tells about how one can become famous and look down upon everyone. And with that it connects to a larger story as a whole. The category of story it tells is probably a song format, and probably around fiction/reality due to the subject being sung about. The characters are real, as they are casting the likes around real people in the song. This appeals to me because there is one certain line where Geddy sings "I can't pretented a stranger is a long awaited friend.". Im not sure why this speaks to me, but I think it has to do with getting to know people after not having to many friends throughout highschool. I think it applies to anyone who likes a good lyrical song and has a strong beat and rhythm that happens to go along with it. This appeals to people because it is RUSH and who doesn't like RUSH? RUSH is awesome and are legendary.
