"Tears" is a song by the Canadian rock band Rush. It appears on their 1976 album 2112. It is the first Rush song to feature the Mellotron, played by Hugh Syme.[2]
Reception
Music Emissions said that it was the most underrated song on the album and that it was a departure for the band as a very heart-felt song of loss and regret.[3]
Bill Banasiewicz said in the book Rush Visions that "It's better produced than 'Lessons', which immediately precedes it. It is very much in the mode of 'Rivendell' and marks one of the few times that Neil plays in a straight four-time signature."[4]
Robert Telleria, in the book Merely Players, said about the song "once again Geddy proves he's not just a screamer and his lyrics improved."[4]
