If popular culture teaches us anything, it’s that Rush songs have a unique way of helping men articulate their emotions. Consider the moments in movies like I Love You, Man or Freaks and Geeks—especially those featuring Jason Segel—where characters connect through the music of Rush. In an episode of Togetherness, Mark’s character picks up on his friend’s dejection and dives into a passionate explanation of “Tom Sawyer,” instantly lifting his spirits. It’s clear that Rush has a profound impact on how men express feelings, a remarkable power indeed.
As I celebrate nearly a decade of marriage, I realize I’ve been seeking better communication with my husband through conversations, while I’ve had his entire collection of Rush albums right at my fingertips all along.
If you’re looking to bridge the communication gap with your partner, meet him at the 1056 mark—Rush terminology for “halfway,” since 1056 is half of 2112. Here are some Rush tracks to help you navigate various relationship discussions:
- When You Want to Know What’s Bugging Him: ‘Distant Early Warning’
“You sometimes drive me crazy, but I worry about you.” - When You Need to Share Your Concerns: ‘The Trees’
“There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees.” - When You’re Dropping Birthday Gift Hints: ‘Red Barchetta’
“Suddenly ahead of me, across the mountainside, a gleaming alloy air car…” - When You Wish He’d Say ‘I Love You’: ‘Closer to the Heart’
“You can be the captain, I will draw the chart.” - When It’s Time for the Commitment Talk: ‘Force Ten’
