Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out Middletown Dreams. You all asked for it and here it is... Another Rush cover. This time we have Mission from Hold Your Fire. Hope you all enjoy it as much as this one and make sure to check out all the links to these amazing musicians! ruclips.net/video/FfIcPuCq4mU/видео.html
It's a brilliant album. I honestly think those folks hate synth which RUSH always used. They also can't get past the self titled album and Fly By Night or Caress Of Steel. They're contrary and stuck in the 70's blues metal period.
Not a hard rock album. Super 80s. Overwhelming synths drowning everything out. You slap that album on a buncha old school rush fans who still got off on heavy stuff like caress of steel and 2112, yeah, not what they were looking for.
This version of this song hits me like a train everytime. Beautiful expression of this universally connecting peice about the quiet desperation of every person's relationship with their dreams.
Ridiculously cool. All players have clearly done their homework. The tones are near perfect! The young lady can really sing. Thank you all for showing such respect!
Thanks David! It was a labor of love to research the the recording and tones used on the album and learn the tune. Thanks for watching and the feedback!
the sadness and hope of this song, the emotion is something that power windows (2nd side) just knocks out of the park, and when mystic rhythms finishes the full journey of that is something to behold. thanks for sharing guys
Agree totally Darrin. PW gets trashed by some earlier Rush fans and esp HYF but I’ve always liked both albums esp PW. Neils lyrics you could use to teach poetry he uses allusions twists of metaphors, imagery and tells stories and Alex and Geddy esp on this song the melancholy feel is beautiful I think. And Mystic Rhythms to me is one of those songs that makes you think about the wonder and mystery of the universe (multiverse?).
I wasn't crazy about the song Territories but other than that song, the second half of this album was criminally underrated. In my opinion some of Neil's best drumming was on this album
Thanks for checking it out! Geddy vocals are pretty unique so it's hard to adjust to other people's interpretation but Knoel really brought something special to the cover.
@@ILSRWY4 There is no such thing as a wrong sound or a wrong style. Unless it occurs to you to that Jimi Hendrix's and the hundreds of other acts that covered All Along the Watchtower are totally wrong.... Hendrix's sound and style is *nothing* like Dylan's. This isn't Beatlemania .... This not a tribute band impersonating RUSH. They are a group of musicians who played a song they love. The feel and the mood of the song are not wrong, because it is exactly what they wanted it to be. Check out RUSH's Feedback album that is made up of only covers that they love. Guess what it sounds like... It sounds RUSH covering songs they love. They didn't pretend to be The Who, Yardbirds, Neil Young, etc. If RUSH didn't feel constrained by these standards, I'm not sure it makes sense to expect this group of musicians to be constrained by them.
I've never commented on a RUclips video. But this ... is perfect. I grew up in a "Middletown" and this song came out when I was 15. It's meant the most to me of any Rush song, and Rush meant the most to me of any band. Thank you!
I LOVE the female vocal treatment of this Power Windows gem!!!! What an immense cover! Musicianship is apex and on point. You made me joyfully celebrate and mourn Rush at the same moment. Kudos! Oh my, the brilliance of Neil Peart's lyrics shining through once again. I miss that Professor..... Howdy from Houston!
Thanks for checking it out! I'm glad we could bring joy and happiness with our cover. We are fortunate to have these amazing musicians. Please check out their other work!
After scrolling through about a hundred comments or so, I was surprised to see no one commenting on what a fine job the guitarist did at fleshing out Alex's tone and sound. No easy feat IMO. So I had to show this guy some love. Well done sir ! Well done !!!
@@biaksident thanks for commenting and the compliments to Alex, yes same name, the guitarist. He really nailed the feel and tone! As with Lifeson, I think he got overlooked here as well with so many great performances all around. Thanks again!
Thanks Chris! Lucky for you and others who have said the same, we are working on one as we speak! Along with that we have four more as well. Lots of content coming here soon. Thanks for watching and if you haven't already, check out our cover of Red Barchetta among others.
@@mauriciogalvan3878 no plans at this time. It would be a little tough. I'm local in Oregon and Alex, the guitarist is in Minnesota. I believe the others in this video are also in Minnesota but the a lot of these awesome musicians are from all over the country and out of the country even. So it'd be tough especially with Covid and travel. I would love for it to happen and maybe someday soon in the future it could! Never say never right? Thanks again
Of all the Rush covers I've seen, and most with women vocalist, this is the best, most powerful voice i've seen yet...masterful...and the musicians aren't too shabby either
Thanks for watching! We were fortune to have Knoel on this cover and she killed it. Definitely brought her own sensibilities while staying true to the song. Same with the other guys - they brought their A game and crushed it as well.
Knoel was amazing on this track. She definitely got the vibe of the song but made it her own at the same time. Hard to do but she and the whole band, I feel, were successful in doing just that. Thanks for checking it out!
@@BarrettRodriguez here is the link to her Facebook facebook.com/knoelofficial/. I can ask the keyboard if he has the sheet music for it if you'd like!
I wore this album out every morning before 11th grade, Mom died when I was 16 in 87' and this album connected with me, I couldnt get enough of it. I would sit in 5th period with this chick and we would argue everyday about who was better, Rush or Judas Priest.
Joel really nailed the parts. I believe Andy Richards programmed the keys on the track. Joel was able to play it so fluidly and flawlessly. Thanks for watching!
I never comment on social media, but I have to on this. This is one one of the best covers of a Rush song I've heard. Keeping true to the original while making it your own. I think Knoel's voice is spectacular and does something amazing: makes a Rush song accessible for others to listen to. Rockwel Heim's drumming is so fluid and effortless, it's a pleasure to watch him knock it out of the park. Of course your bass cover is great. I like you're not trying to reproduce "The Geddy Sound", but rather keeping it clean and not overdriven. Alex covering Alex is great with the multiple effects he had to put in. And trying to dissect the intro and middle section keyboard part is a tough job to do, let alone play it manually and get all the right synth sounds as Joel did. I'm really taken back by how awesome y'all did. Thank you for the effort everyone put into this. I read the other comments and looking forward to the next Rush Remote Covers you have planned.
Thanks for watching and your feedback. Really appreciate the time to respond and thoughtfulness you put into it. Rush is special to both the guitarist and I, and we are so happy that people responded so well to this one and that we were able to work with such an amazing roster of musicians. Hopefully the next Rush one will be ready here soon! Thanks again and take care!
I'm not one to comment generally but I will this time. Middletown Dreams is one of my favorite RUSH songs. Your cover was just fantastic. You made it your own, and didn't try to overly replicate what was already perfection by destroying it. If you're going to cover someone else's work, you better OWN it, and you did! Congratulations. You truly brought a tear to my eyes. Wow. Just friggin, WOW. Thank you. All of you did an excellent job. Thank you, from WInnipeg, Canada.
Me too! It’s very deep track and when I name my favorite Rush song 99% people give me huh? Look. Glad not only one. The lyric content and tone of song are beautiful imo.
Me too! This was my first album intro to Rush in HS in 80s (okay ... I bought the cassette tape ... only Old guys will even know what that was) but alway loved this album and this song something about the melancholy feel of music and awesome lyrics about dream hopes and dashed I still think is fantastic. As far as deep track prob Mariannas Trench but doesn’t take away from how great it is IMO. I am with you OP it’s a great song all around.
I remember when I open up this album back in the eighties that is my favorite song and I would have never have dreamed would still like this today that's very amazing thank you I love watching this
Thanks James! If you haven't seen it yet, we did another with knoel, Mission. We have another with her in the works as well as a bunch more. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I know Rush fairly well. Willowdale and Lakeside Park are worth a shout out. The guys never forgot where they came from. St. Catherines for Neil. RIP Professor.
Nice work! I imagine that every time artist such as yourselves cover a Rush tune there are music fans that get to hear a Rush tune for the first time. Y'all are spreading a beautiful seed of wonderfulness.
Thank you very much! That's a great way to look at it and maybe so. It's been a really positive reaction from fans already to an era that isn't as popular as others so there's hope!
Rollout 1 you are absolutely right! This cover was my introduction to "Middletown Dreams". I've since compared this cover to the original, and in some ways I like this one more! I wish I were in a band with a woman who could sing like this.
Thank you for noticing! I think its a sequenced part and the guitar is more forward there so it kind of gets forgotten. Appreciate the watch and comment!
Great job. Geddy takes 3 of your windows panes. Synth Vocals Bass. Wow he was so amazing. I still hope to hear some solo stuff from Geddy. His other favorite Headache😋 Thanks, Sounds wonderful.
All right guys you guys are like the best I've ever seen but my tears flow withjoy watching you guys that woman is such a good singer you owe me a box of Kleenex girl
Haha! Funny that, just added to one of my MANY Playlists of Prog & Metal bands doing covers. This was excellent! My _only_ criticism Larry, the rhythm guitar parts needed more volume to push the dynamics - but really excellent cover no less, and Knoel just nailed it, what a voice!
@@mvunit3 thanks for the feedback. Always open to hearing criticisms and what we can do better. I'll definitely listen to it again and see where that happens to correct that type of thing on future songs. Thanks again!
@@smittybass - No worries! You guys did an excellent job. Hope to see Knoel do more Rush tracks in the near future. "Middletown Dreams" is one of my fave Rush tracks, so it was a treat :).
Looking for Rush videos, feeling a little nostalgic about Neil, and I ended up here. Beautiful cover from one of my favorite Rush songs. The musician’s band. Thank you for this!
I love the "Bass cam" on the neck of the bass. The Bass line just never stops. . . And the drummer is so economical with his sticks and still hitting all the notes. . . Beautiful to see. . .
Thanks so much! Bass cam is always a ton of fun and one of my favorite shots. It's not always the one that gets used but definitely has a special look I'd miss if I didn't use it. Even if it adds some weight to the bass!
When researching tones and stylistic choices for this song, it’s turns out most of Alex solos on the album were multiple takes cut and spliced by Geddy and Peter Collins. Really helps explain the bizarre phrasing.
Honestly, perhaps the best cover I have seen. All 5 artists performed their parts to perfection. Knoel and her vocals were amazing. Alex's guitar parts were inspirational. Joel on his keyboards demonstrated all parts clearly. Rockwel covered Neils part to the letter and finally Larry, first off, just love your Bongo. Your tone was spot on. 4:27 was awesome. I love this song. This for covering it and you just earned a new subscriber. Cheers.
Wow thank you so much! My bongo is my number one and really allows me to do what I do. The musicians we have gotten to play with have been amazing and we consider ourselves truly lucky to work with them. Thanks for subscribing. I quickly looked at your channel and it looks like you have some awesome stuff going on on yours. I'll have to dig in some more. Thanks again!
I agree it’s a “deep track” and when I say it and Time Stand Still are my favorite songs anyone but a true Rush fan looks at me “huh?” I think I really got into Neils lyrics with Subdivisons as a teen (“omg an adult gets it!”) and I know lot people listen to rock and don’t pay attention to lyrics but with Neils it’s truly poetry. I read at some point there was a school teacher using his lyrics in English (prob fired now) but he was a genius and this song has a melancholy Feel I love. If your a deep Rush geek check out the bootleg Alex’s son released to internet of this song not cleaned up - I love that version too - to me (and just my 1.5c) it sounds more “policeish” but still great and just like variations of a theme like a classical composer would do. You may not like not as polished but I do and while Power Windows kinda gets dumped on, and I think Geddy said in retro was a “transition” album it was my first foray into the band so holds special place. Enjoy reading comments from other deep Rush fans here and to you guys who did this awesome job so some more!
What a FANTASTIC cover! As top draw as Rush music is, and as good as it demands the musicians to be, the vocals are almost always make or break for me, and these vocals are just top draw. Not Geddy, not like the original song, but as smooth as aged scotch and with amazing tone. Top draw. Very, very good... Makes me want to dive into these lyrics and use this cover! No lie.
Thanks for watching and your kind words. Knoel did a great job getting the essence of the song and the feeling of Geddy without doing a straight impression. It blew us away.
@@daveyt4802 More important, they did it all LIVE with three people. But, this does not take away from what a great job Larry and his band did here - even if he did need two extra bass guitar strings to do it! :) :) :) ;)
FYI: I did a reaction to these lyrics on my new channel. I used your cover 'cause I love the vocals so much. (I did a YYNot cover as well, as a sort of two part 'cover versions' day!) I tried to post a link but RUclips apparently hates that. So, I'm just saying - if you are interested, take a look. If no, as you were! ;)
Saw this played live during clock work angels tour in phoenix. The extras on the dvd of this was filmed that night, they didn't play in dallas. You all did a excellent job!

Not bad at all dude! I’m a huge RUSH fan, excellent cover!
Emotion Detector?
Power Windows is such an underrated album.
RIP professor; Neil Peart
Absolutely incredible cover. This woman’s tonality and vibrato match Geddy almost perfectly. And the rest have clearly mastered this song.
Wow!!
Yes, yes, Emotion Detector please!!

That vocalist understood the assignment. Great job!
Agree, I feel like not much vocalist can replicate Geddy's voice, at least the feeling.
So now they need to do all of Power Windows.
Yes sir!
I salute this band for covering Middletown Dreams. A special mention to the singer. She has a very beautiful voice. Bravo!
This version of this song hits me like a train everytime. Beautiful expression of this universally connecting peice about the quiet desperation of every person's relationship with their dreams.
This is why Rush is so important:
Every album has it's own dream.
Rush fans recognize a great work. Thanks

@@smittybass everyone was very good. The singer has a very soulful voice. Really awesome 😎
She’s singing it just like Geddy fool! That’s why they got a chick fool. This was 86, he wasn’t singing high. Guitar sucks, cover sucks!
As a rush fan of 40 + years I can say that this is absolutely magnificent!!! Amazing cover of one of their greatest tracks.
Thanks for watching and your kind words! If you haven't check our version of Red Barchetta. We have another Rush song in the works as well.
What a great rendition. This song is such a well kept secret
It took 5 very talented people to recreate what 3 extremely talented people did. kudos.
I wore this album out every morning before 11th grade, Mom died when I was 16 in 87' and this album connected with me, I couldnt get enough of it. I would sit in 5th period with this chick and we would argue everyday about who was better, Rush or Judas Priest.
Definitely Rush!!!
This is brilliant. One of my favourite Rush songs.
Great cover. One of my favorite songs from probably my favorite Rush album.
Glad i'm not the only one!
Man, my late son literally cut his teeth on time stand still, he would approve this wonderful cover I’m certain. Great work my friends, great work.❤️
From a very old Rush Fan... Bravo... Great Work...
A timeless classic. I'm especially impressed with the keyboard players ability to mimic the sequencers. Thanks for posting!
Yeah! I'm fairly sure a lot of those parts were done using an arpeggiator on Power Windows, so playing it all live is impressive.
Joel really nailed the parts. I believe Andy Richards programmed the keys on the track. Joel was able to play it so fluidly and flawlessly. Thanks for watching!

A fantastic rendition of a fantastic song. Every aspect was great, especially the vocals.
I'm bloody impressed! Not many can pull off a good Rush cover version and get the vocal without trying to ape Geddy.
Love her voice

Nice! Do more covers from Power Windows!
Agree with that how bout Marathon or Mystic Rhythyms (the album was dedicated to the letter M as I recall like Sesame St :)
Mystic Rhythms!!!
I commented on Reddit already but this just touches my soul in a way I can’t explain, it’s like it was written for me or something
Thank you. That means a lot to us. We are glad to hear that our cover reaches people who share of love and passion for some of our favorite music.
It was and also for everyone
This Cover absolutely envokes the same emotions as the original, as people have said, it's because of the amazing vocals! Brilliant Job!
Great performances all around, and it's nice to see covers from the oft-overlooked mid-80s records!
Thanks Ian! It seems like more people are coming around to it and ate now hip to how great the music was during that time. Thanks for watching!

Outstanding. Props to all the musicians who created this loving and faithful tribute to an amazing Rush song.
Thanks! It was a lot of fun stepping into Rush's shoes and learning this tune. Definitely learned a lot from the experience.
Excellent musicianship and singing! Immediately added to my Rush Covers Playlist!!!!!
Thanks for the feedback and for checking it out! I'll consider that an honor to be added to such a playlist.
Haha! Funny that, just added to one of my MANY Playlists of Prog & Metal bands doing covers. This was excellent!
My _only_ criticism Larry, the rhythm guitar parts needed more volume to push the dynamics - but really excellent cover no less, and Knoel just nailed it, what a voice!
Btw - Jon, your "missing" some covers ;). I'll see if I can find one of my playlists with Rush tracks tomorrow . . . its late, got work tomorrow :p.
@@mvunit3 thanks for the feedback. Always open to hearing criticisms and what we can do better. I'll definitely listen to it again and see where that happens to correct that type of thing on future songs. Thanks again!
@@smittybass - No worries! You guys did an excellent job. Hope to see Knoel do more Rush tracks in the near future. "Middletown Dreams" is one of my fave Rush tracks, so it was a treat :).
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant
Totally amazing! So many covers of the hits, great to see the deeper cuts get som attention!
I need to HUG this Chick.......... Great job dudes, G'Day from Melbourne Australia
This is my favorite song off of Power Windows. You guys killed it.
Looking for Rush videos, feeling a little nostalgic about Neil, and I ended up here. Beautiful cover from one of my favorite Rush songs. The musician’s band. Thank you for this!
Wow! Fantastic job! This song is definitely in my top twenty all time favs. Well done.
You guys ripped it up pretty good and I love it I never knew young people would even bother with my own favorite songs
Brilliant job by all, but especially that voice! Wow!~Sebastian
This is INCREDIBLE!! Power Windows is my most FAVORITE Rush album! And this song ... and Territories are my most FAVORITE songs from this album!
Very nicely done
Love it....nailed it.
So many people have killed RUSH..... i hate covers
But this group is different Just love it.....
Please do more Rush covers! Vocals are spot on for singing Rush songs! Love this song and you guys did a great job!
Do Mystic Rhythms next!
I love the "Bass cam" on the neck of the bass. The Bass line just never stops. . . And the drummer is so economical with his sticks and still hitting all the notes. . . Beautiful to see. . .
Thanks so much! Bass cam is always a ton of fun and one of my favorite shots. It's not always the one that gets used but definitely has a special look I'd miss if I didn't use it. Even if it adds some weight to the bass!
Nice work.. especially those beginning breaks! They were on point!
Wow. Finally a rush cover I wanna hear. I love this song . It’s a deep cut . I’m so tired of the yyz and Tom Sawyer covers
Best Rush cover I have ever heard or at least a tie. Bravo! RIP NP.
Uh oh. Martell MVP did a RUSH cover better than this one. Afterimage ftw!
Top demais!!! Parabéns!! Adorei! Essa música é incrível! Muitíssimo bem tocado e cantado!
Excellent, excellent.
Damm. Pretty good!
This is really great, awesome, love it. Thanks and well done everyone, you bloody nailed it!
Guitarist did a great job on that guitar solo - its really quite a bizarre solo when you stand back and look at it !
When researching tones and stylistic choices for this song, it’s turns out most of Alex solos on the album were multiple takes cut and spliced by Geddy and Peter Collins. Really helps explain the bizarre phrasing.
@@ayarbrough209 oh wow thats a cool bit of trivia ! yes it makes sense of the strangeness of it
Honestly, perhaps the best cover I have seen. All 5 artists performed their parts to perfection. Knoel and her vocals were amazing. Alex's guitar parts were inspirational. Joel on his keyboards demonstrated all parts clearly. Rockwel covered Neils part to the letter and finally Larry, first off, just love your Bongo. Your tone was spot on. 4:27 was awesome. I love this song. This for covering it and you just earned a new subscriber. Cheers.
Wow thank you so much! My bongo is my number one and really allows me to do what I do. The musicians we have gotten to play with have been amazing and we consider ourselves truly lucky to work with them. Thanks for subscribing. I quickly looked at your channel and it looks like you have some awesome stuff going on on yours. I'll have to dig in some more. Thanks again!
Good job on one of my favourite Rush songs. Well done guys!
Crushed it. That was awesome.
The bass pedal effect is outstanding.
Just a wonderful tribute to a wonderful song. Thank you much.
Its not the tipical Rush cover. I love this song. Amazing.
Very well done.....I love the little known RUSH tunes.
Thanks! It's always fun to show some love to the deep cuts. Thanks for watching!
I agree it’s a “deep track” and when I say it and Time Stand Still are my favorite songs anyone but a true Rush fan looks at me “huh?” I think I really got into Neils lyrics with Subdivisons as a teen (“omg an adult gets it!”) and I know lot people listen to rock and don’t pay attention to lyrics but with Neils it’s truly poetry. I read at some point there was a school teacher using his lyrics in English (prob fired now) but he was a genius and this song has a melancholy
Feel I love. If your a deep Rush geek check out the bootleg Alex’s son released to internet of this song not cleaned up - I love that version too - to me (and just my 1.5c) it sounds more “policeish” but still great and just like variations of a theme like a classical composer would do. You may not like not as polished but I do and while Power Windows kinda gets dumped on, and I think Geddy said in retro was a “transition” album it was my first foray into the band so holds special place. Enjoy reading comments from other deep Rush fans here and to you guys who did this awesome job so some more!
Liked it. It got better as the song went on. Great job
Thanks! Like the original, it really builds and hits all it's marks as the song goes on. We did our best to get that same vibe.
What a FANTASTIC cover! As top draw as Rush music is, and as good as it demands the musicians to be, the vocals are almost always make or break for me, and these vocals are just top draw. Not Geddy, not like the original song, but as smooth as aged scotch and with amazing tone. Top draw. Very, very good... Makes me want to dive into these lyrics and use this cover! No lie.
Thanks for watching and your kind words. Knoel did a great job getting the essence of the song and the feeling of Geddy without doing a straight impression. It blew us away.
@@smittybass Quite honestly, one of the best interpretations of a Rush lyric I ever heard. A very, very smooth voice. :)
Rush did it with 3 band members. Really tell you how much talent RUSH had.
@@daveyt4802 More important, they did it all LIVE with three people. But, this does not take away from what a great job Larry and his band did here - even if he did need two extra bass guitar strings to do it! :) :) :) ;)
FYI: I did a reaction to these lyrics on my new channel. I used your cover 'cause I love the vocals so much. (I did a YYNot cover as well, as a sort of two part 'cover versions' day!) I tried to post a link but RUclips apparently hates that. So, I'm just saying - if you are interested, take a look. If no, as you were! ;)
Saw this played live during clock work angels tour in phoenix. The extras on the dvd of this was filmed that night, they didn't play in dallas. You all did a excellent job!
