Since You've Been Gone
Rush · Other Songs - Rush
Fall to the ground then I wake up
So I get out of bed put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup
These four walls are closing in
Look what a fix you put me in
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
I'm out of my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you've been gone
You've got the spell so break it
Oooh oooh oooh
Since you've been gone
So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around too soon
You don't know what you mean to me
Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
I'm out of my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you've been gone
You've got the spell so break it
Oooh oooh oooh
Since you've been gone
Everywhere you go baby you know you're never too far
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
I'm out of my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you've been gone
You've got the spell so break it
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Ever since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
i'm out of my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you've been gone
You've got the spell so break it
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Ever since you've been gone.
Since You've Been Gone
Released by the Canadian rock band Rush, "Since You've Been Gone" stands as a defining track from their mid-1970s period, characterized by progressive rock structures and synthesizer-driven melodies. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of complex time signatures and soaring vocals, which became hallmarks of their discography. Often associated with the era that produced "The Spirit of Radio," the recording showcases Rush's ability to merge technical proficiency with emotional depth. It remains a staple in their catalog, frequently performed live and recognized for its atmospheric production and melodic hooks that bridged the gap between their earlier hard rock roots and their later symphonic explorations.
