The looping piano/synth at 2:12, is one of the greatest melodies in recorded music history

[@MykeLewisMusic]

It's one of my favourite parts of the entire record!

Mike, you are an incredible drummer. Perfect precision and feel. Great job covering these Power Windows songs--they are not easy to play!

[@MykeLewisMusic]

Thanks very much, you're very kind. The songs aren't easy, but they sure are fun once you get the hang of 'em!

[@MikeConwayDrums]

Awesome Myke! Love those triplet-y fills with the L-R licks on the hat and the crashes. 🤘🤘💥💥

[@MykeLewisMusic]

Thanks, Mike!

[@69lucyfer]

Once again, you made an excellent job with your drums. And the track is another fantastic Rush song 💯👌🥁

[@MykeLewisMusic]

Thanks again! It's one of my favourites too!

I've been waiting for this one! This is my favorite track on Power Windows. This song is a masterpiece in my opinion, and I still get goosebumps from listening to it. The drums are so creative in this song, the guitar brings everything together and adds a nice flavor to the mix, oh, and that guitar solo is just beautiful. I love the vocals in this song too, he really puts emotion behind the vocals that I can feel in my soul. You did an amazing job covering this fantastic song! Keep up the good work! 😊

[@MykeLewisMusic]

Thanks very much, and I agree, it's one of my favourites as well! The reverb swells that Lifeson does in the outro are one of my favourite things about Alex Lifeson.

[@MykeLewisMusic]

Thanks! This is one of my favourites.

Excellent!

[@MykeLewisMusic]

Thanks!

Neil Peart talks about this one several times in the course of his books, which is probably not surprising because the song is about small town America, and he spent years exploring that very thing while travelling to his gigs. Great cover Myke. Very polished playing mate! 👍

[@MykeLewisMusic]

I grew up in small town/small city America (Canada - same thing when you hit the prairies, pretty much). I could very much relate to this song and the sentiment behind it. That said, I've hit the age where I am starting to really appreciate the tranquility of small town life.
