Good for Rush.

The music industry is first and foremost an industry. So it's nothing new, the vast majority of music published is of very poor quality. Time sometimes allows us to save pieces of major quality. This is the case of The Garden, by the legendary Canadian trio Rush.
This piece evokes the fragility of human life. The text, written by drummer Neal Peart, is sumptuous (he knows exactly what he's talking about), but the aesthetic emotion (when the music offers a major encounter) is carried by the entire composition.
The Garden is an incredible piece of music offered by virtuosos, for the ears and hearts of adults who are called upon to understand the price of life.
PS.: two criteria for validating the quality of a group (they are obviously not the only ones). The piece must grow with each listening, like successive readings or learning a major poem. The song must be subject to variations in concert as significant - when there is no playback or autotune, of course - as the studio version. Rush easily passes this test, as do other but rare great popular music groups.
