Need Some Love
One of the shortest tracks Rush ever recorded, this is a straightforward, punchy rocker. It's essentially a plea for romantic attention wrapped in a driving hard rock arrangement.
The brevity and simplicity of the track reflect the band's bar-band roots — this is the kind of song designed to get a crowd moving in a sweaty club on a Saturday night. It rarely appeared in setlists after the early touring days.
At just over two minutes, it stands in stark contrast to the 20-minute epics the band would eventually become known for. It's a useful reminder of just how far Rush would travel musically in just a few years.
