There are three plays on the title that appear on the album cover, especially if you see the *full* image. 1. Workers are transporting paintings. They are... moving pictures. 2. The onlookers are growing emotional over the images being displayed. They... find the pictures to be moving. 3. In the full-size version of the image, a film crew is recording the proceedings. They are... taking a "moving picture". mirkwood, Vort, Jamie123 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember well going into town on the bus to buy it, and the excitement when I first played it. Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, Limelight. I loved them all at the first hearing. Oddly though, all the memorable songs for me are on Side 1 - maybe I never quite "got" Side 2. Of the early Rush albums, I like Caress of Steel best - particularly the Fountain of Lamneth. The words "Life is just a candle, and a dream must give it flame" give me a shiver. (The sentiment was echoed much later on "Hold Your Fire".) But I like all of them. I once tried to get my daughter to listen to Hemispheres when she was doing a school assignment on the cult of Dionysius- but you know what teenagers are like. Rush was "Dad stuff" and very uncool.

Those four are also the songs on the album that get the most airplay, with the second side being almost completely ignored. And that's *with* "Vital Signs" being one of the actual singles. So no, it's not just you. Jamie123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
