Thomas Kramer TK'S Niche Definitely agree! This is a beautifully composed song that perfectly describes living with many blessings - it’s impossible to appreciate everything as deeply as we could and should because life moves so quickly. As wonderful as this version of this song is, the U.S. Army Band “Perishings Own” is absolutely definitive, matching Neil’s lyrics with deep passion and pathos. It makes me weep like a baby, especially since they arranged it and dedicated it to Neil within a month of his death.

This song has been getting tons of attention and cover's including the US Army. Even Aimee Mann from Til Tuesday (now solo artist) is the lady in the background. She sang "Voices Carry" which was popular around the time this came out in the 1980s. I don't know if it had to do with the passing of Neil Peart on Feb 10th this year but I'm glad it's being appreciated.

Ah, going straight to the "Hold Your Fire" album which has a very, very, very love/hate divide among the fan base. Personally, I love this era, just for those types of lyrics Neil really started to write. Even as a guitarist, 90% of what Lifeson plays is still untouchable, just not as in-your-face as their early works.

I LOVE THIS SONG !!! And I think the video is neat too.. I would like to see you react to the Rush song "Red Sector A" to see if you can tell what that song talks about..

Rush-a band that defies description, by going against every single grain of what’s expected of a rock band, and succeeding like no other by doing their own thing.🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎹🎤

I hope you do more Rush they have a catalogue of 160 plus songs. XANADU next please. The cool thing about them is that they wrote all their own music. As you mentioned their music has deeper meaning.

Yes, Neil Peart, The Professor, the man with the magical drum set, also writes their lyrics.

You must do Red Barchetta....pretty please 😍 One of my faves.

We did go up another level

The girl in the video (Aimee Mann) is married to Michael Penn. Sean Penns brother. She sings on the soundtrack to the movie Magnolia. Great movie!

The girl is Aimee Mann who sings on this track and was the lead singer in a band called 'Til Tuesday

You should do Natural Science by Rush.

Is Aimee moving the camera around just theatre of the mind - not actually following anyone around? Voice is A+

I’m so glad you watched the corny 80’s music video with it!!! I love it so much!

Completely dig this chick. Can't take my eyes off her nodding with the song... and air drumming. If I was single, young, and much cooler I'd be all in!

Aimee Mann and Geddy harmonize great together!

Thanks to Aimee Man from"Til Tuesday for the background vocals. You're deep into the rabbit hole now. Has anyone suggested, "The Analog Kid" yet?

Thanks for covering Rush. This video is from 1987. I was blessed to have seen Rush in concert 11 times, and as a photographer got to photograph them live 3 times. Neil Peart (rest in peace, Neil) wrote all the lyrics for Rush. And the female singer was Aimee Mann, whom I saw live with Til Tuesday in 1985, and then got to photograph her live on one of her solo tours in the early 2000s. Again, great reaction. You know your music arrangements.

I like this song better the older I get.

Here is the part where She talks about being called in to work with RUSH.... www.guitarworld.com/artists/aimee-mann-talks-new-album-mental-illness-and-working-rush-time-stand-still * This year marks the 30th anniversary of Rush’s “Time Stand Still,” to which you contributed a memorable vocal. How did your involvement with the band come about? I’m not sure if they had heard a song of mine or someone told them about me, but they contacted my manager at the time and asked me if I wanted to sing on it. I didn’t know Rush’s stuff that much but I thought, why not? I liked the song and thought the part was really pretty. Originally, Geddy Lee was singing it. He’s got such a powerful voice and I remember saying to him, “Dude, your falsetto is so great. You shouldn’t have me.” But they really wanted to have a different singer on it. I’m very proud that I had that opportunity.*

Sister, you're reactions are AWESOME!! First and foremost, thank you for reviewing one of my favorite bands! I saw Rush live three times in my life and their concerts were excellent. I'm sure by now you have heard that Rush's music is a little more progressive, eclectic, and articulate than most hard rock groups of their time. Now, that does not mean that other groups were inferior, but that Rush would deliberately write music and lyrics that were both thought-provoking and musically challenging to perform (I used to play guitar and this was one of the songs I wanted my band to perform, at the time). Some would argue that they have successfully changed their sound over the years, but IMHO, their sound only evolved. If you are considering a 'deep-dive', by all means listed to Rush's earlier albums; 2112, A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres-which contains their concert favorite La Villa Strangiato, Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. I'm guessing that you have also heard that Neil Peart, heralded as the best drummer in Rock, passed away on January 7, 2020. "A man's mind, once stretched with a new idea, can never return to it's original dimensions." -Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. P.S.: I am African-American as well.

Can you do Distant Early Warning. Great Rush song.

Yeah Geddy's hair changed alot during this era, as well as their sound. Even Neil had this super short hair with a giant pony lol I'd say this probably one of my favorite songs off of Hold Your Fire,from 1987. This album was one of the last straight synth pop albums. The next album Pretso in 1989, was a Pop album that sounded more rock, but still not Heavy like Counterparts in 1993.

Get ready, because this is the only Rush video made in Mario Paint.

Love you Aimee Mann!!!!

Great stuff. Keep up the great work. Love the Rush rabbit hole! Try going back to the albums Permanent Waves, Exit Stage Left, Moving Pictures, 2112 (twenty-one twelve), Fly by Night and Hemispheres for some classics SURE to increase your subscribers. Consider some Wikipedia research... Their music and verses have a lot of depth... Besides you should level set and understand a little about what the band was going through, how old, etc. when the song or album came out. Thanks.
