Talk:2112 (song)

message: I changed  "Lee and Lifeson eventually detuned the Overture and this section down from 'A' minor to 'G' minor to give Lee a much- deserved rest on his vocals (first heard on the Rush In Rio DVD and CD)." to being on the "Different Stages" CD because the Test For Echo tour (which is the source for the DS cds) was the first tour where they took the song's key down (and the entire song, not just the first two parts) a step (from Am to Gm on the overture and verses, Bm to Am on the chorus in "The Temples Of Syrinx").  I'm not sure exactly how that should be referenced (not that the RIR statement was referenced), but I own the "Different Stages" CD and went to a concert on the tour, and it was tuned down.

message: How come according to the back of the 2112 CD it says that the total running time is 20:33, but when you add up all the times from the individual parts of the song you get 20:31? where did that missing two seconds go? is it extra time for silence between 2112 and A Passage to Bangkok? I think this should be noted in the Starting time/Length table Chosen One 41 20:12, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably due to the natural inconsistencies of play times. Checking against my own copy (The Remaster CD) I notice "The Temples Of Syrinx" is only 2:12 as opposed to 2:19 like the article says. I also get 20:31 when I do the math. The way the tracks were split, there was probably some points where the audio was broken at 1/2-second intervals, which wouldn't be counted when calculating the duration of the single part, but when assembled into the full length track (along with the other partial-seconds) they add up to the extra 2 seconds which otherwise appear to be lost. --Crimson Bleeding Souls (talk) 18:07, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The Priests of the Temples of Syrinx, characterized by an uncharacteristically high, even shrieking singing phased and processed voice by Geddy Lee
I hear no sign of any phasing or processing applied to Geddy's vocals during the lines that are from the Preists' point of view. It sounds like his natural voice to me, though he is obviously delivering those lines in a more shrill tone than usual, even for him. If someone can provide confirmation, I'll gladly concede.

message: I had changed the contradiction that was in the quick facts sidebar. The legnth had said 20:33 and the total length in the layout of the song below had said 20:31. I'm not really sure what the exact legnth is so I just chose one(Please note at this time I was not logged in.). If you could please change both to the correct time because obviously at least one or both of them had to be wrong. Thank you. 4M4|Go here 15:43, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

message: At the end it says that it might be that the priests take total control with the death of the protaganist, but it also says it could be the return of the Elder Race. I would like to suggest that it can be assumed it is the elder race as its a totally novel voice that makes the phrase 'we have assumed control', nothing like what to that time has been the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx. Does anyone know for certain, any statements by the band? Mincan (talk) 19:11, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no official confirmation from the band as far as I know  - but, I think I recall seeing/hearing Neil Peart comment that it was purposefully left open ended. Nevetheless, I personally feel it's pretty obvious that it's the return of the elder race as it was forecasted earlier in the story. Wisdom89 (T / C) 23:55, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The synopsis mentions a "Father Brown" several times. I can only assume that he's one of the priests, perhaps the head priest (and not e.g. that guy), but the lyrics don't mention anyone by their names. Where does this name come from? 2.244.120.136 (talk) 17:36, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
