Here’s what our house elf, Artie, says about this episode.

Dive into this comprehensive discussion of Rush's song "Everyday Glory" from their album Counterparts. We share our thoughts and impressions about the music, discussing aspects like its "mid-tempo, poppy feel," Geddy Lee's harmonies, and the simple yet melodic guitar solo by Alex Lifeson. 

We debate the song's potential fit on the previous album, Roll the Bones, due to its pop sound and ponder its lyrical depth as the highlight despite having reservations about certain musical choices. 

We also discuss Neil Peart's unique drumming patterns and the production choices, including the track's shift back to analog recording. We dissect technical elements of the song, such as guitar tones, harmonies, and drum fills, noting how they contribute to the track's overall feel. 

We express mixed feelings about "Everyday Glory," appreciating its creative parts despite not ranking it among our favorite Rush songs. The episode concludes with playful banter among the hosts, touching on unrelated topics like cigar smoking and 8-track tape nostalgia while inviting listeners to share their thoughts on the song.
