This article is terrible, and shames Rush's best song.72.12.141.65 (talk)

Couldn't it be argued that the verse is in 13/8?

The time signatures in Freewill are insane, it is an absolute roller coster of a song. I count 3/4, 4/4, 5/4 15/8, 27/8, and some single-measure transitions. Algr (talk) 04:52, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not Geddy's Highest

According to this article, Freewill is at the highest part of his vocal range. But isn't the last verse of Cygnus X-1 a lot higher than anything in Freewill? Not to mention a ton of other 70s Rush songs in which Geddy wailed. 172.190.137.134 (talk) 06:32, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lyric discrepancy

Regarding the lyrical discrepancy - I am highly skeptical of the claim of misprint - more likely NP just got sick to death of people asking about it.

"If you choose not to decide...You cannot have made a choice" and "You still have made a choice" - has anyone considered this inconsistency was completely intentional?

It's a joke; he made the lyric undecided - so we get two versions what was sung and what was printed - so was a choice actually made? or wasn't it? 107.184.224.14 (talk) 14:01, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
