Biography

Born: July 29, 1953, Willowdale, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Geddy Lee plays bass, keyboards, and sings in progressive rock band Rush. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Lee grew up as the son of Polish Jewish refugees who had both been survivors of Nazi concentration camps Dachau and Bergen-Belsen. Lee's stage name (and later legal name) "Geddy" was inspired by the heavily-accented pronunciation of his given first name "Gary" by his grandmother. An award-winning musician, Lee's style, technique, and skill on the bass guitar have proven very influential in the rock and heavy metal genres, inspiring such players as Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, John Myung of Dream Theater, Les Claypool of Primus, and Metallica's Cliff Burton among others. In addition to his composing, arranging, and performing duties for Rush, Lee has produced albums for various other bands, including Rocket Science. Lee's first solo effort, "My Favorite Headache", was released in 2000. Along with his colleagues Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart, Lee was made an Officer of the Order of Canada on May 9, 1996. The trio were the first rock musicians so honoured.

LYRICS

One man standing on the plains of Abraham watching a damaged sunrise
One man standing near the edge of a quiet breakdown
I watch the sea
It helps to anchor me
I watch the sea
It helps to anchor me

Once you start hiding, you keep on hiding 'till your paranoia calms down
Once you start watching, you keep on watching until you're tied up and you're spell-bound

Just between the ice ages, anyway
I want to talk, but I haven't got too much to say
I don't mean to be so nihilistic
Forgive me if I seem to be too realistic

Once you start running, you keep on running 'till your muscles start to break down
Once you start falling, you keep on falling 'till you hit the cold, cold ground

I watch TV
What do you want from me?
I watch TV
What do you want from me?

Just between the ice ages, anyway
I want to talk, I haven't got enough to say
I don't mean to be so nihilistic
Forgive me if I seem to be too realistic

Once you start hiding, you keep on hiding 'till you feel you're safe and sound
Once you start watching, you keep on watching 'till you're tied up and you're spell-bound

I watch the sea
It helps to anchor me
I watch the sea
I saw it on TV
