I love Rush. Losing Neil Peart really hurt.
A prolific and iconic band and an absolute beast of a drummer and fascinating lyricist. My wife and I got to see them live, once, thankfully.
I love sharing this tribute:
That gave me chills the first time I watched it.
“The only difference is you’re down there. I’m looking through you. And you’re nowhere.”…“I’m Looking Through You” by the Beatles.
Same! (Dangit, still outta )
There can be only one.
Madman drummers, bummers, and Indians in the Summer with a teenage diplomat in the dumps with the mumps while adolescent pumps his way into his hat. With a boulder on my shoulder, feeling kinda older I tripped a merry-go-round. With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground.
There’s only one direction in the faces that I see;
It’s upward to the ceiling, where the chamber’s said to be
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they’re free
The carpet crawlers heed their callers,
We’ve got to get in to get out
Oh man, that just puts my mind into overdrive.
Auditory hallucinations of Thunder Road and Born to Run intensifies
(Also outta )
“Chase two girls, lose the one.”
“somewhere, someone must bow.
despair in it somehow”

“In all the sad, hurtful days, I couldn’t smile anymore.
Though the sight of you within my eyes is one that I adore.
On the dark, endless night, the tears I weep and then I cry.
All dissolve into your smile, so warm and bright.”
“Woah Black Betty bramnuvinwnigbsdbhsgdg”
Thank you for hallucinating the original version, and not the remake.
About half of Born to Run is available for karaoke. Born to Run is kinda common, but Thunder Road is more fun to sing.
"Soil of the corpse, I give to you
I sprinkle it around for you
To get rich, to fall in love.
I take a risk, I check my cards.
As you drink the soil like wine -
Crumbs, remnants, the corpse of mine -
You will see the world with new eyes.
You will see the world with insane eyes."
Korpiklaani - Soil of the Corpse

I don’t normally like it when they do English songs, but the lyrics on this one always made me like listening to it that way vs the Finnish version.
“ Our lives are made,
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These small hours still remain”
-rob thomas little wonders
“ And don’t tell me if I’m dying
'Cause I don’t want to know
If I can’t see the sun
Maybe I should go
Don’t wake me 'cause I’m dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know
Never leaves too soon”
-thriving ivory angels on the moon
“Send the pain below where I need it”
and
“Dead star shine light up the sky”
are a few.
“I just needed someone to talk to, you were just too busy with yourself.”
“You told me to love you when I did.”
“I, I’ll stand. Not falling, not falling down!”
"But I’ve been there
And if I can survive
I can keep you alive
I’m not above going through it again
I’m not above being cool for awhile
If you’re cruel to me I’ll understand"
