From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Best I Can is a rock song by the Canadian trio Rush that is featured on their 1975 release, Fly by Night. It differs from many other Rush songs in their post-debut era, as it has little of the classical influence that defines many of Rush's other works. Rather, it focuses on a catchy, blues-oriented, re-occurring riff, and contains standard verses and choruses, and a guitar solo section over the chorus chord progression. "Best I Can" is thought by many Rush fans to be a remnant of their debut album, Rush, prior to when Neil Peart joined the band, who brought with him more intellectual, poetic lyrical pieces. In the years of Fly by Night and onwards, the band delved more into the realms of progressive rock, distinguishing their unique sound and leaving the standard blues-rock songs behind. Unlike the rest of the songs on Fly by Night, the lyrics were written by Geddy Lee, not Neil Peart.
