About The Spirit Of Radio

"The Spirit of Radio" is a song released in 1980 by Canadian rock band Rush from their album Permanent Waves. The song's name was inspired by Toronto radio station CFNY's. The song was significant in the growing popularity of the band. The band had grazed the UK Top 40 two years earlier with "Closer to the Heart", but when issued as a single in March 1980, "The Spirit of Radio" became their breakthrough hit at the time, and soon reached number 13 on the UK singles chart. .

The Spirit Of Radio Lyrics

[00:42.05] Begin the day with a friendly voice
[00:45.02] A companion unobtrusive
[00:48.91] Plays that song that's so elusive
[00:52.22] And the magic music makes your morning mood
[00:57.53]
[01:03.49] Off on your way, hit the open road
[01:06.47] There is magic at your fingers
[01:10.75] For the Spirit ever lingers
[01:13.54] Undemanding contact in your happy solitude
[01:18.57]
[01:31.51] Invisible airwaves crackle with life
[01:35.25] Bright antenna bristle with the energy
[01:42.10] Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength
[01:45.78] Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free
[01:52.76] All this machinery making modern music
[01:56.38] Can still be open-hearted
[02:00.14] Not so coldly charted, it's really just a question
[02:03.48] Of your honesty, yeah, your honesty
[02:07.52] One likes to believe in the freedom of music
[02:14.15] But glittering prizes and endless compromises
[02:17.86] Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah
[02:23.07]
[02:35.41] Invisible airwaves crackle with life
[02:39.05] Bright antenna bristle with the energy
[02:44.21]
[02:46.55] Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength
[02:49.63] Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free
[02:55.32]
[03:53.18] For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall
[03:58.74] Concert hall
[04:02.21]
[04:09.19] And echoes with the sound of salesmen.
[04:14.92] Of salesmen
[04:17.05] Of salesmen
[04:18.34]

From the album: 80s Summer Nostalgia
