The whole song breaths emotion...like so many of there songs. Proud that my fellow Canadians weren’t sell-outs and were true to their intelligent art.

In 2149 , somewhere in the Universe , some creature (s) will be listening to this Rush song in their spaceship with the same joy as now. The music of the 3 composers will always be immortal. Thank you Neil, Alex and Geddy. Salut Neil, rest in peace my friend

arguably RUSH is the greatest band of all time, there music isn`t for everyone, but greatness rarely is.

This band peaked at Moving Picture. This is still a great song, underrated

This is one of the most beautiful rock songs I've ever heard. Rest in peace Neil.

Perfect song, perfect message. Neil’s words are so heartfelt and show vurnablity that makes me want to give him a big ol’ bear hug. Thanks for all your words!!

Stay Strong All....Neil has gone to Drink The Milk Of Paradise....and someday we ALL will enjoy a Glass With Him! Cheers From Ohio

Revel in the fact that Rush has gained so much appreciation in light of the current mainstream drivel that passes for music these days.

I've been a devout Rush fan since I was 15. The Wal-Mart debacle has had absolutely no effect on the indelible impact this music has made upon me. It is actually amazing that Rush is seeing a surge in exposure and appreciation, I never expected them to see so much popularity 40 years later. A testament to the power of their music.

just watched VH1 Rock Docs last night and saw Rush. It was awesome. I am 51 and to me, the good old days are Rush. I am one of many ladies who get Rush and will always get Rush. However I do love the old Rush the most. It just doesn't get any better than that. 2112 is the best. I still have all the old tunes on vinyl. Rush has never been given the credit they deserve. Getty's voice is an aquired taste. ROCK ON RUSH :)

I saw them in 1979 and 1981. The best concerts I have ever been to

Rush. If there have ever been better bands, I have not found them. And I am pretty meticulous. What a delightful joy they have been to me over a long period time.

Timeless song. Neil Peart .Timeless . Such magnificent writing

My parents considered using this in their wedding, but decided against it because they thought the song was too cynical. They wound up divorcing anyway

I grew up with these amazing songs.Thank you.

This song has always reminded me of me and my dad's relationship. It's too bad we've never understood each other.

the man the myth the legend..... no one had more intelligence and lyrical ability and drums?? Forget it. Taken way to soon and way to cruelly for a man who gave so much. WHY? G

Underrated Rush song. Heard it on the radio Sunday night and just had to look it up online.

this is what a nice stereo system loves🎼🎵

This song is simply brilliant! The more I hear it, the more I understand. Neil is too good....

This song is for everybody.Maybe,someday,we can all LOVE EACH OTHER as The LORD JESUS CHRIST Commanded.

okay full disclosure....I had a couple drinks. but just sit back....focus to the drums....theyre makin my head spin! pure artistry!

Mr. Peart is my hero! Rush is in a different dimension of music than ANY band has ever been in, and will never reach that horizon of greatness that is Rush!

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Thank you for the great times boys!

Mrsycoe is right, all the songs by Rush are emotional and full of energy. Keep listening to it people, why they are not in the hall of fame is beyond me.

This is such a beautiful song and masterfully written. I first heard this song on the 2007 Snakes And Arrows tour in Toronto (...I got a bit of a late start to getting into Rush.lol). This song has such a profound effect on me and I don't know why. Beautiful is the only word I can describe.

Watch "Beyond the Lighted Stage" to really get a grasp of this band. To me, Peart made the band complete. Their journey together is really something else to observe. Best band of all time in my opinion, the most creative and probably the most emulated... Some people "get them", and many don't. Those of us who "get it" are grateful of the awesome music Rush has provided!!!!

I beg to differ, I'd bet everyone can find at least one song who's lyrics one can relate to in one form or another. Probably the greatest songwriters of their generation...

There will never be another band like Rush.

My friend Vince Melcher, turned me on to Rush a long time ago. It is one of the best and most important gifts I have ever received! Even though I haven't spoken to him in a lot of years, I can not hear a Rush song and not think of him and the great times we had together in Arizona, water skiing, building cars and all kinds of cool stuff! Thanks Vinny!

Truly one of their best ever, even a bit more mainstream than their usual sound at the time. Along with some of their most meaningful lyrics and their usual mastery of the music. Such a shame that it doesn't get more airplay, at least not in this market.

Hindsight...RUSH has to be the greatest band of modern times.

When I first heard this in '82, I was 17 and my thought was that these lyrics are extremely deep and insightful, and feared my lack of experience was causing me to get my world view from popular song lyrics. Don't feel that way anymore, just glad I got to understand the dynamic of relationships early, thanks to Neil Peart.

Memories, (another great song), back in 81, I was attending college, one day a week while doin my apprenticeship (electrician) and there I set eyes on the most beautiful girl I"d ever seen, at break time"s we"d all sit in the concourse girl/boy watching, and every now and then this pretty little thing would catch my eye looking at her and vice versa, but both of us too shy to approach each other. This song encapsulates that time back then, and when I got home I"d play it to death as I fantasised how I was goin to break the ice with her on my next week at college. It never happened and so its a little memory jewel that I treasure when I listen to this gem of a tune. Thankyou Rush for the education you guys have passed on to us fans.

Permanent Waves was the first Rush album i bought, i was 13 at the time, after i heard this song i then played it about...say 12 times in a row, my mother came into the room and asked why i was playing it so much, i didn't have an answer, something with this song connected with me that i couldn't explain at the time. She didn't understand because it wasn't what Tom Jones or Elvis could deliver. HOF doesn't deserve Rush

well said, so few words, but so meaning..only true RUSH fans understand that....

Love the video!!! This is my go-to-introduction for people who never heard of Rush before. Stellar example of the sacred marriage between music & lyrics that has been souding within me for the last 40 years. The video helps people to get a better grasp of the vast images painted by these 3 artists... 💜

Lyrically and musically brilliant. Who says rock bands can't write meaningful music.
