OK, so it's Rush again, and this time it's a take on teenage life and not fitting in. The 'Subdivisions' are the suburbs of a city in Canada.
The album cover for 'Signals' was particularly memorable. I had the tour t-shirt and programme from this tour.
It was created by Hugh Syme, as were most of Rush's album covers.
The back of the album featured a well rendered vision of a fictional Canadian suburb, with hidden meanings to many of the street names.
Sprawling on the fringes of the cityIn geometric order
An insulated border
In-between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown
Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
The song has featured on the blog before, but here it is again... it's from the R30 tour. I saw this one at the Birmingham NEC.
