Inspired by 'the spirit of radio' in toronto, alive and well (so far). |
|
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson |
|
Begin the day |
|
With a friendly voice |
|
A companion, unobtrusive |
|
Plays that song that's so elusive |
|
And the magic music makes your morning mood |
|
Off on your way |
|
Hit the open road |
|
There is magic at your fingers |
|
For the spirit ever lingers |
|
Undemanding contact |
|
In your happy solitude |
|
Invisible airwaves |
|
Crackle with life |
|
Bright antennae bristle |
|
With the energy |
|
Emotional feedback |
|
On a timeless wavelength |
|
Bearing a gift beyond price --- |
|
Almost free... |
|
All this machinery |
|
Making modern music |
|
Can still be open-hearted |
|
Not so coldly charted |
|
It's really just a question |
|
Of your honesty |
|
One likes to believe |
|
In the freedom of music |
|
But glittering prizes |
|
And endless compromises |
|
Shatter the illusion |
|
Of integrity |
|
"for the words of the profits |
|
Are written on the studio wall, |
|
Concert hall --- |
|
Echoes with the sounds... |
|
Of salesmen." |
