Brothers REACT to Rush: Natural Science (Live 2007)

"Natural Science" is a song by the Canadian progressive rock band Rush, from their 1980 album "Permanent Waves." It is the closing track of the album and is divided into three parts:

1. "Tide Pools" - The first section of the song, it begins with an atmospheric instrumental featuring synthesizers and guitar effects. The lyrics describe the ebb and flow of tide pools and the diversity of life within them, using the imagery of the ocean to explore themes of change and adaptation.

2. "Hyperspace" - The second section is a more energetic and complex instrumental, featuring intricate guitar and bass work, as well as dynamic drumming by Neil Peart. The lyrics touch upon scientific and philosophical concepts related to space, time, and the human condition, reflecting Rush's interest in science fiction and intellectual themes.

3. "Permanent Waves" - The final section of the song revisits themes from earlier in the album, particularly the idea of embracing change and impermanence ("constant change is here to stay"). It features a melodic guitar solo by Alex Lifeson and concludes with a reprise of the song's opening instrumental theme.

"Natural Science" is widely regarded as one of Rush's most ambitious and musically sophisticated compositions, showcasing their virtuosity as musicians and their lyrical depth. It remains a fan favorite and a staple of the band's live performances.
