"Suddenly you were gone, from all the lives you left your mark upon." - Rest in peace Neil Peart. Thank you, Geddy, and Alex for being the main soundtrack to my life.
They put this line on the program at my Aunt Gerry's funeral--I didn't go my folks did. I think putting it there was my Cousin ALan's idea--he and I are the big Rush fans in our family. I hope Aunt Gerry and Neil Peart are hanging out together in heaven. RIP both of you!
Grace under Pressure is my favorite Rush album. In 1984 cold war tensions ran high and this album touched on that. The 80s was a great time to be a teenager. Very heavy!
Was in the car driving home and for no particular reason chose to put on Grace Under Pressure. Of course I get home and hear the news, and my mind immediately darts back to this song. RIP Neil, you definitely left your mark upon us.
My dad passed away 4 days ago. He was a huge rush fan. Here to dedicate this to him. Love you so much dad xxx Edit: I love Rush fans, I still get people replying to this years later and it's so bittersweet. I can remember writing this curled up on my couch alone in my house. I still shed a tear every single time I listen to this song and miss my dad just as much as I did that day. Thank you everyone for your support 👍🏻
So sorry, Mike. Most of us are here to remember someone from our past. Best wish to your father legacy and you're healing. Keep the memories alive. God bless.
Your dad had great taste in music and is very possibly still listening to this right now thinking the sound quality is so much better and loud there than it ever was here!
People that Appreciated RUSH are Good Decent Astute Decerning ROCK and ROLL GENIUS MUTHERFUKKKERSSS!!!! YEAAAA! *...and the girls are in a Class of their Own!
I think you mean the first "line". "Lyrics" are the words of a song. If you say "the first lyric", you mean the first word, not words, but even that would be weird to say, and it's better just to say the first "word" anyway. A "lyric" isn't a line. Neil would have known this.
Choco Manger lyric noun lyr·ic | \ ˈlir-ik \ Definition of lyric (Entry 1 of 2) 1 : a lyric composition specifically : a lyric poem 2 : the words of a song -often used in plural Looks like Neil would have been fine with how I worded. A lyric does not have to be a single word. “Often used in plural, the words of a song define a lyric”. Not really the place to troll either.
@@barbarakirk3064 I bought it at a Rush concert in Albuquerque years ago. It's a good read. Especially if you have in mind the human condition he was going through. Common experiences lend themselves to the understanding. May we all be minimally affected by such pain.
@@joeallgood5317 Second (or third) this! Excellent read. It's so fucked up. I've cried over his death more than my Mother's at this point. In fairness, my Mom had been sick for a LONG time so when the end came it was less a surprise and partly a relief. Neil's death came as such a surprise to me since he was such an intensely private man we had no inkling he was that sick until he had already been dead for 3 days. I had a difficult childhood and Rush's music (especially Neil's words) got me through a lot of it. I learned to play guitar to this album patched into a Walkman I modified to accept guitar input, and music (and programming computers) was my solace and probably kept me from doing something horrible. My mother gave me life, but Neil, Alex and Geddy possibly saved it.
@@DynamicThreads It was written for a sound Engineer at Le Studio who was about 30 years old who passed away suddenly in a car accident.....he was very well liked by the band so they created Afterimage as a tribute to the man. Dont Quote me. The band music could really paint a picture.
Neil doesn't hold his head down like that after every song, or even most songs. His posture in this video is a direct show of respect to Rush's fallen friend, Robbie Whelan.
The middle section / guitar solo section is one of Rush's finest moments ever. The building PPG voice samples Ged used are awesome over top of that pulsing bass line (probably a JP-8). Then Alex's solo overtop Neil's building hi-hat/Simmons pad rhythm is just sublime. It makes you feel the loss.
davegto67 I agree! Say what you want about their so-called “keyboard period,” it certainly brings out the best in his playing. I also love how he looks like a forgotten member of Big Country here : )
Absolutely one of my favorite all time guitar solos. Who solos mainly with chords. Crazy, creative, and awesome to listen to. By far one of my favorite albums of Rush's catalog.
Grace Under Pressure was the album that turned me on to Rush in 1984 and the age of 14. Later that year, Rush was the first concert that I attended at the Omni in Atlanta on 10/30/84. Now, some 40 years later, the album and this song in particular has more resonance than ever. RIP Neil Peart. You, Neil and Alex were the soundtrack for my adolescent years.
I want to dedicate this song to my friend, Tom Kelley, who passed away on 3-8-22. He was a big Rush fan. We met through a Rush fan forum. He went to a lot of Chicagoland area shows, and recorded a few along the way to share freely with other fans. He was also a huge fan of ANIMATION, a Chicagoland area Rush Tribute band. Thank you for your friendship, Tom. Glad we had a few good laughs. I am proud to have known you. You'll be missed! Love, your pal, Kozmo.
The biggest problem with the "hate" on every new Rush album is that they were way ahead of their time. Almost prophetic. Later on those "hated" albums become loved. Neil Peart was a lyrical genius. Today's "music" will never be as good as anything RUSH ever put out. They were just amazing. RIP Neil.
Yes. Growing up in the 80s, I found that it always took me a while to appreciate each new Rush album. Several listens to the record, a trip to a live show, and suddenly I would get it. Especially the live shows. I took some non-Rush fan friends to see the Power Windows tour and they walked out blown away, new Rush fans.
Body Electric and Red Lenses are awesome once you learn to dig them. When I was younger I used to skip those songs but now Body Electric is one of my favorites. It's also one of the nerdiest sci fi songs by one of the nerdiest bands ever, you gotta love it. Red Lenses is some of Geddy's funkiest and grooviest bass playing, especially the outro.
Rest in Peace, Professor Peart. You were incomparable, and your musical legacy will live on. My thoughts go out to his family, and of course Geddy and Alex.
Same here Neil's solo from 2:24 then Alex's solo at 3:15 to 3:45 give me goosebumps also. I recorded 3:15 to 3:40 and using it as my phone ringtone. RUSH Forever !!!!!
Hello ...I use the following link to convert Video to MP3 www.onlinevideoconverter.com/video-converter Then use VLC Player to record specfic parts of the MP3 song. Hope this helps
RIP Neil. "Suddenly you were gone, from all the lives you left your mark upon." You will be missed, but you will live on in your music for a long, long time.
This song became my anthem for my older sister killed in a car accident. I was 14 and she was 21. Everytime I hear this song,there's my sister's image in my mind. Very special song from a very special band.
Agreed. I feel people are much too critical of those two albums. They are amazing (like all music by Rush is), both musically and lyrically. Personally, I feel that the lyrics found on those albums are the most heartfelt, profound, poignant and beautiful lyrics in the entire catalog of Rush's music. Two true beacons in progressive music.
Vin Man I agree, but most people don't like the albums because you take one of the most talented bass players on the *planet* and he plays more keys than bass.
I know! That's what's great about Rush, they have so many great and unique periods in their long career. They managed to keep expanding their sound into new territory, which definitely earns my respect. I mean seriously, I've been listening to Rush for years, and only in the last year or so I'm discovering so much more of their music like this gem here.
Grace Under Pressure is sad, anxiety-inducing, and thought-provoking all at once, especially given the period in the Cold War when it was written. It’s one of my favorites out of their entire collection and is criminally underrated by so many fans. While I realize that the mid- to late ‘80s is often cited as the least popular of Rush’s eras, I can’t help but marvel at just how many great songs they made in that time. And they wrapped it with Presto which, 33 years later, is still incredibly beautiful and intense. And I really miss Neil.
My grandfather passed away this morning. I used to listen to this song when I was a depressed teenager 6-7 years ago, but I’m now beginning to understand what people mean when they say that it hits harder when you’re older. RIP Dadu.
One of my favourite Rush tunes--highly underrated. Didn't know how lucky I was to have heard this song live on the p/g tour, 1984 for they haven't played it onstage since. Maybe the next tour? Cool that Ged is wearing a Zildjian shirt. Also, I must be the only one that liked Alex's Flock of Seagulls hairstyles during the 80's.
are you sure you were even born in 1984? I saw them also in 84 (short set, Texas Jam), don't remember if they played this or not. One of top 10 fav Rush.
Vitreous Lamella I don't think they will ever play it live. This song was recorded before Neil Peart's personal tragedies but if he were to play it today it would probably hit home for him.
RIP Neil Peart. :( Although you wrote this song for your friend, It is now dedicated back to you. "Suddenly you were gone from all the lives you left your mark upon." You most definitely left a mark on so many lives throughout the years. You will live on through your music without a doubt. RIP!
I can't imagine what Peart is and has gone through. Losing your wife and kid in a short period! Only saving grace was he had his craft to fall back on and be able to swim out of the quicksand and also because he's an intelligent person that's not a rocker messed up addict. No one else would of survived otherwise. I'm so impressed with his reaction to the biggest tragedy of all. Losing everything you love and care for. And starting all over again. Just wow!
It is a wonderful comment Sam. My father has just died of cancer recently but reading Neil's book has helped me deal with this loss. Thank you for sharing Ghost Rider Neal. You saved my life.
@@johnnyenglish9622 hang in there brother. I lost mine 16 years ago. You will see in so many ways, he always a part of you... It's tough at first but you will grow through it. Stay strong
Lost my wife of 30 years this April. She was my best friend, gave me 2 awesome kids and was with me for every Rush concert we could get to. She was truly one of a kind, I miss you my love, this song is for you. ❤😢❤
Greatest Trio in the history of Rock - Chi - POWER - Peart was the embodiment, the essence of what makes a genius musician and what sets him apart from all the rest. A great man was lost in 2020 but his body of work will be forever remembered appreciated and like all cherished things - will only get better over time
Brilliant song from a brilliant album. I love that synthy bit in the middle. This is the good stuff we missed from 1994 onwards. Contrasts and atmospheres mixed with awesome power guitars.
Written in /84, the track was dedicated to Robbie Whelan, an assistant engineer on some of Rush's earlier albums,The track deals with the loss of a friend and the emotional aftermath. The opening lyric was quoted in the liner notes for Rush's 1998 live release, Different Stages, as a dedication to drummer Neil Peart's daughter and wife, who died in 1997 and 1998, respectively "Suddenly...you were gone...from all the lives you left your mark upon..." In loving memory of Jackie and Selena.

And now those lyrics have such a different, special meaning - RIP Neil.
yep, very much so, I really dug this song when it came out originally now it's like full circle
💔💔
"Suddenly, you were gone
From all the lives you left your mark upon."'
RIP Neil
I grew up with Rush. This is like having a family member die (and I know how that feels from first-hand experience). Rest in peace, Neil.
amen, brother.

I would not be me, without the band Rush.
For sure! Amen

I know I wasn't his long lost friend.. but he was
pretty much everything is hitting hard, just like his drumming
I think you mean the first "line". "Lyrics" are the words of a song. If you say "the first lyric", you mean the first word, not words, but even that would be weird to say, and it's better just to say the first "word" anyway. A "lyric" isn't a line. Neil would have known this.

This song makes a Lot of Sense now. Sadly

It was written 30 years before he died, stop. He was simply a great lyricist.

He means the lyrics match the moment. Don't be so literal and narrow.
The last shot of Peart with his head down in tribute to his friend is powerful. Moving song.
while it is about the death of a close friend, he does that after just about every song
Hans Gruber I was thinking the same thing... you are right , it is powerful.
Neil doesn't hold his head down like that after every song, or even most songs. His posture in this video is a direct show of respect to Rush's fallen friend, Robbie Whelan.

In my opinion, Grace Under Pressure was one of Rush's best albums, if not the best. Alex Lifeson's guitar solo in this tune is so beautiful!
Yes....the best album ever by Rush! As close as you can get to perfection
Kid Gloves Lifeson solo is off the chain.
Every track on the album is good, no filler
Incredible stong and music !
UNBELIEVABLE DRUM PERFORMANCE- ENTIRE PROJECT

This is my favourite Rush album along with Moving Pictures and Counterparts

Neil is prominently featured in this video. It's almost like Geddy is singing about Neil in this song. Gives me chills.
Felt the same...
One can only image being a drummer in the 80s, in awe of Neil Peart's drumming and looking for any videos of his drumming. This must have been golden.
NEIL PEART nunca vai morrer nas mentes musicais de seu fãs
Rest in Peace, Professor Peart. You were incomparable, and your musical legacy will live on. My thoughts go out to his family, and of course Geddy and Alex.
💔💔
First song I’ve listened to after Neil’s passing.
same here...it had to be. crying like he was my brother.
me too. tears in my eyes.
Same here

Me too
RIP Neil Peart. This song was the first thing I thought of when I heard the news.
My first song was Time Stand Still, then Afterimage and finally the Garden. All of them touched life and death.
RIP Professor. My heart is broken. Thank you for everything.
Still brings tear to my eyes in 2023. I miss those guys. R.I.Power Neil Peart.
The Guitar solo............STILL takes me somewhere else
That instrumental part in the middle gives me goosebumps everytime.

RIP to a legend. There will never be another person like Neil Peart.
That last shot of like 10 seconds of Neil with his head down is intense to watch. It almost feels prophetic. Tim Pope directed this I think.
RIP, Neil 💔

Rest in peace Neil Peart. Your legacy is glorious. I can't listen to this song without crying right now.

The supposedly least popular phase of Rush. What utter nonsense. their songs from this period were magical.
Right on, brother. Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows have nothing to envy of other Rush albums.

Personally, I feel that the lyrics found on those albums are the most heartfelt, profound, poignant and beautiful lyrics in the entire catalog of Rush's music. Two true beacons in progressive music.

I agree, but most people don't like the albums because you take one of the most talented bass players on the *planet* and he plays more keys than bass.
That's only a problem for people who don't acknowledge just how good a keyboard player Geddy is, as well. The talented git!
I know! That's what's great about Rush, they have so many great and unique periods in their long career. They managed to keep expanding their sound into new territory, which definitely earns my respect.

No one else would of survived otherwise. I'm so impressed with his reaction to the biggest tragedy of all. Losing everything you love and care for.
And starting all over again.
Just wow!
Words just cannot begin to address a loss of that magnitude......:-(
It is a wonderful comment Sam. My father has just died of cancer recently but reading Neil's book has helped me deal with this loss. Thank you for sharing Ghost Rider Neal. You saved my life.
@@johnnyenglish9622 hang in there brother. I lost mine 16 years ago. You will see in so many ways, he always a part of you... It's tough at first but you will grow through it. Stay strong
@@scottshields113 Thanks very much sir. Neil's survival through a very tough time as helped too. Cheers.
Neil deserves the highest respect and admiration for coming back after those tragedies!
IMO, 3:16 to 3:46 is one of the most epic segments of music from their entire works.
Agreed, I'm not a huge fan of this album but that part is heavenly. I wish it were longer.
Lerxst is a versatile genuis ... Great Rhythmic guitar 'solo ' 👏
Lost my wife of 30 years this April. She was my best friend, gave me 2 awesome kids and was with me for every Rush concert we could get to.
She was truly one of a kind, I miss you my love, this song is for you. ❤😢❤
Damn. So sorry for your loss. 😢
Thank You ❤@@JUNIPER21126
Greatest Trio in the history of Rock - Chi - POWER - Peart was the embodiment, the essence of what makes a genius musician and what sets him apart from all the rest. A great man was lost in 2020 but his body of work will be forever remembered appreciated and like all cherished things - will only get better over time
One of my all-time favorite Rush songs!
Suddenly you were gone, from all the lives you left your mark upon... RIP Neil
💔 💔 Suddenly you were gone from all the lives you left your mark upon ... RIP Professor. 💔🥁💔
*I believe this is the most appropriate song to bid farewell to the greates drummer of all time. We miss you, Neil!*
Suddenly you were gone from all the lives you left your mark upon. Rest in peace, Neil.
Resonates this day

Geddy Lee
What a sick style
Geddy Lee if you ever see this you're a legend.
It's Canada's 150th year
Rush you'll be remembered forever.
Brilliant song from a brilliant album. I love that synthy bit in the middle. This is the good stuff we missed from 1994 onwards. Contrasts and atmospheres mixed with awesome power guitars.
Suddenly you were gone, for all the lives you left your mark upon. I will always love you, Neil! RIP
Absolutely had to come here after hearing the news
Rest in peace neal 😭
Written in /84, the track was dedicated to Robbie Whelan, an assistant engineer on some of Rush's earlier albums,The track deals with the loss of a friend and the emotional aftermath. The opening lyric was quoted in the liner notes for Rush's 1998 live release, Different Stages, as a dedication to drummer Neil Peart's daughter and wife, who died in 1997 and 1998, respectively
