The 1980 song that made Geddy Lee fall in love with his work again

Even experienced musicians can rediscover their own creations over the years. That's exactly what happened to Geddy Lee when he revisited one of the most important songs in Rush's career. The song is "Natural Science", released in 1980 on the album "Permanent Waves". At over nine minutes long, the track brings together many of the elements that made Rush one of the most respected bands in progressive rock. Tempo changes, philosophical lyrics and complex instrumental passages combine in one of the group's most ambitious compositions. Geddy Lee revealed that when he listened to the song again years later, he noticed details that he had missed during the recording and touring process. The experience made him see composition from a new perspective. The musician especially highlighted the way in which the different sections of the track connect to form a cohesive musical narrative, something he considers one of the band's greatest creative achievements. "Natural Science" remains a fan favorite and an example of a time when Rush perfectly balanced technical complexity and accessibility.
