Permanent Waves is the seventh studio album by the Canadian rock

band Rush, released January 1, 1980. The album was recorded at Le

Studio, Morin Heights, Quebec, and was mixed at Trident Studios

in London, UK. Permanent Waves became Rush\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s first US Top 5 album

hitting #4 and was the band\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s fifth Gold (eventually Platinum)

selling album. The album also marks a distinct transition from

hard rock and progressive rock into a more accessible, radio-

friendly style and consequently, a significant expansion in the

band\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s sales with hits such as \\\\\\\\\\\\\\The Spirit of Radio\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ and

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Freewill\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ seeing considerable radio airplay.

Music

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\The Spirit of Radio\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ featured the band\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s early experiments with

a reggae style, which was explored further on Moving Pictures and

Signals.

A notable track on Permanent Waves is \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Jacob\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s Ladder\\\\\\\\\\\\\\, a song

style reminiscent of their earlier heavy progressive rock period.

Exploring odd time signatures, the song possesses a dark, ominous

feel. The song\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s lyrics are based on a simple concept; a vision

of sunlight breaking through storm clouds. The title is a

reference to the natural phenomenon of the sun breaking through

the clouds in visible rays, which in turn is named after the

Biblical ladder to heaven on which Jacob saw angels ascending and

descending in a vision.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Entre Nous\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ (\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Between Us\\\\\\\\\\\\\\) is similar in style to \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Freewill,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

yet it did not receive heavy radio airplay, and was not featured

in concerts until the Snakes Arrows Tour.[3] While the band

began stepping back from the epic song format on this album,

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Natural Science\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ does clock in at over nine minutes and is

composed of three distinct movements. The lyrics are driven by

concepts of natural science. It was featured, with a different

arrangement, on every tour from 1996 to 2002, and was also

featured on their 2007-2008 Snakes And Arrows tour.

Cover art

The cover art sparked some controversy because of the appearance

of the \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Dewey Defeats Truman\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ headline on the newspaper. Because

of pressure from the Chicago Tribune, Hugh Syme changed the text

to \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Dewei Defeats Truman\\\\\\\\\\\\\\. The billboards in the distance were

changed from Coca-Cola (who objected to the use of their logo) to

include each band member\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s name in similar typestyle.

The background scene comes from a photo, taken by Flip Schulke,

of the Galveston Seawall in Texas during Hurricane Carla on

September 11, 1961. The woman pictured in the foreground is model

Paula Turnbull.[4] The waving man in the background is Hugh

Syme.[5]

Background

The writing of the album began in July 1979, at a farmhouse at

Lakewoods Farm in Ontario on Georgian Bay, Lake Huron while Peart

started his lyrics in a cottage near there. They began with an

instrumental jam, which they nicknamed \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Uncle Tounouse\\\\\\\\\\\\\\. Parts of

this were used in the songs on the album. While Peart worked on

lyrics, Lifeson and Lee would work on musical ideas in the

basement. Within a few days they had put together \\\\\\\\\\\\\\The Spirit of

Radio\\\\\\\\\\\\\\, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Freewill\\\\\\\\\\\\\\, and \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Jacob\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s Ladder\\\\\\\\\\\\\\, which came very

naturally to them, and it was recorded on a Slider JVC mobile

unit. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Entre Nous\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ was the only lyric completed ahead of time.

Neil was working on making a song out of Sir Gawain and the Green

Knight, the medieval epic from King Arthur\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s time. Based on the

story written in the 14th century, he was trying to keep its

original style. It was deemed too out of place with the other

material and was discarded. They moved into Sound Kitchen studio

in Toronto to record demos, joined by producer Terry Brown. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\The

Spirit of Radio\\\\\\\\\\\\\\, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Freewill\\\\\\\\\\\\\\, and \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Jacob\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s Ladder\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ were further

polished on the warm-up tour during soundchecks.

In 1982, Lee told Rolling Stone Magazine that the album\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s title

referred to \\\\\\\\\\\\\\a theory that was going [within the band] about,

like, culture waves; and there was a night when Neil said that a

big album was like a permanent wave and I told him, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\that\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s our

title.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\[6]

Rush headed to Le Studio in Morin Heights, Quebec and began

tweaking the settings of instruments and positioning of

microphones. They recorded basic tracks with multiple takes until

they captured the best performance. While Lee, Lifeson, and Terry

Brown began overdubs, Peart began attempting to write another

epic song to replace the discarded \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Green Knight\\\\\\\\\\\\\\, and after

enduring three days of writer\\\\\\\\\\\\\\s block, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Natural Science\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ was

born. Fin Costello was then brought in to photograph the band in

the studio. Cover art director Hugh Syme was also brought in and

added a piano solo to \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Different Strings\\\\\\\\\\\\\\. Music was composed for

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Natural Science\\\\\\\\\\\\\\, with some leftover parts from \\\\\\\\\\\\\\Green Knight\\\\\\\\\\\\\\.

The tide pool effects for the song were created by splashing oars

in the private lake, performed by producer Terry Brown and studio

assistant Kim Bickerdike, and the natural echo outside was used

to record various instruments. The rough mixes on the album were

complete, and the final mix was completed in a week at Trident

studios, London.[7][8]
