The whole album is incredible! It’s a perfect blend of guitar bass drums keyboards and synths. Neil’s writing on this album is thoughtful and insightful. It’s like he’s in the room talking to you!
One of my favorite Rush albums!
Unlike a lot of hardcore Rush fans I liked this period of Rush. For me there is no such thing as a traditional Rush album, these guys can do whatever the fuck they want and do it really well. That's always what I loved about this band. Power Windows blew every other new wave/synthrock album out of the water in the 80's.
A lot of people, it would seem, are just turned off by the timbre of the 80s keyboards, which is a shame, because the material on Power Windows is some of the best they've ever done.
Every single track on Power Windows is amazing, I love how they went heavy on the synth/keyboard despite what others may think about it. I'd say its in my top 3 favorite Rush albums.
I love Peart's lyrics from this period more so than anything before or after it.
This was my first Rush show (Power Windows tour). Saw them in Nashville. I was 16.
***** At least you'll probably see them while they're still around. I live in Australia and I have a feeling they won't be coming over here at all.
I met Neal when I was 9 years old. He gave me his signed sticks from the test for echo tour. They are now in a shadow box in my bedroom. The mother to my children died and I was super lucky to find me a new partner that helped me raise my kids since they were toddlers. This song makes me look at those drum sticks and remember how mystic life can be and how un lucky and lucky I am. Neil was mystic and his writing encourages the brain to look beyond the box.
I Love Rush
RIP Neil
A Rush "mystic" masterpiece!
I am a gen alpha, I listen to prog rock, and I am proud of it.
You have great taste
I'm gen Z and I love Rush
@@LeahFloydyou have good taste 🙌🎶
That's awesome😎👍
I just played this for my newborn daughter. Thank you, Alex, Geddy, and Neil.
Just watched this with my newborn daughter then saw your comment. What a coincidence
These guys altered my DNA I've spent thousands of hours listening to them. Neil will be missed.
You worded that so perfectly! I share this sentiment with you. Thank You!
Agreed!!
NOBODY sounds like Rush.
NOBODY sounds like Peart.
Thousands of hours, wow you could have learned Chinese or something.
Same. I've gone months without crying at his passing. Tthen you mentioned this. Damn. He may not have been able to pretend a stranger was a long-awaited friend, but to us, we knew him better than he knew us. And we loved him anyways. Now I'm off to find paper towel.
This song, along with Marathon, Middletown Dreams, & Manhattan Project are just astronomically phenomenal. Feels like a trip through the streets of a futuristic suburb.
Vital signs as well
@@adamburling9551 Very true. Power Windows (to me) is like taking a journey to space and going beyond the great unknown
You forgot sub division
@@joeosiecki5031 Yeah, that too.
They are all good. An old one "Here Again" , rocks !
We were blessed to have this band. We suspend our disbelief, and we are not alone.
The deeper suspension still has yet to be revealed, they knew the truth.
We are entertained.
@@stephenneville7841 ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED???
Attention all planets of the solar federation... We have assumed control... 😉
Funny how songs like these have the power to make one travel time back to one's youth and relive the way we felt back then. Life looked promising, magical almost and uncomplicated those years, didn't it?
This song is sick. Anytime you think Rush sets a standard they shock you.
Just listen to these freaking epic drums... and realise you will NEVER hear them live ever again. Such a loss...
i wanted to reply to this comment - realising it was my own... rush rules, period.
To all the Rush pre-1984 purists, this is some of the Rushiest Rush that Rush ever Rushed and you know it. Wait a minute, what am I saying? They're not watching this.
Yes we are
RIP NEIL. You'll keep being my only god ever.
How can there be so much talent in only 3 guys?
Foo Fighters has left the chat
One of the best songs from an interesting period of Rush.
I'd have to agree.
Absolutely accurate! Still one of my all time favorite RUSH songs.
How can I not love any Rush fan? Y’all are the best people ever.
Right back at ya! 🤘🍻
Not only was Neil the greatest drummer in rock music, he was also the most innovative. This video is a clear example of that. Not only is the grove awesome but the opening scene shows his back facing the front of his drum set (something that had never been done before) because he is playing his second kit opposite side which is made up entirely of electronics (another thing that had never been done before). Plus it was on a revolving drum kit (another first). And keep in mind that his cymbals are now reversed as well and it didn't phase him one bit. He was truly a master of his craft, an innovator, and the most fun to watch. I will always miss his playing.
This song on "A Show of Hands" completed my conversion into a Rush fan. Didnt get to see it live until The Counterparts Tour and again on R30. I absolutely love this song. All-time favorite Rush tune. I Love when then band says Power Windows is one of their all-time best records.
Also throughout this song he is triggering with his left foot. This song shows the level of technical playing ability Neil Peart had evolved. Separating his right and left hands and feet to create some mind bending patterns. That's why I love the intro on Mystic Rythms...
Electric drum kits first used by the beach boys on the song do it again and the moody blues on the song procession.
Neil was more than the best drummer, he was the bands lyricist and a composer. He is sorely missed.
@@billskalicky5400 Yes, but it was a first for him, and one of the first times a complete e Drum kit was combined with a complete acoustic kit.
This song is better than drugs. No matter how many times I listen to this song is still strikes emotion and a sort of euphoria for me. Absolute brilliance and perfection from some of the best minds in music.
Well, I guess that depends on what drug your talking about....
Same here.
To me it's a very psychedelic song.
More like heroin.
This song on lsd is amazing
I love all eras of Rush but in my opinion, Geddy was at his peak vocally in the 80's. Clearly exemplified here.
I must say that raccoon on Geddy's head is pretty relaxed. It barely moved at all throughout the entire video. Geddy must've trained it well.
haha i fell for it at first then i got the joke
LMAO! AND CAN'T STOP!
Haha, even Geddy hates that style he wore back then!
next time you want to drink a glass of toilet water from your mom and dads toilet in the basement of their house , thank god they're letting you live there for free , don't drink it . you might be able to have some kind of future
shelley gorodetzer Yeah, my parents live on the other side of the country and don't have a basement. But don't worry, I'm sure you just assumed all parent's houses have basements like the one you live in.
Bless Canada for this gift
Red sector A , will always remind me of the fact that, " those who forget history, are doomed to repeat it".
Literally rings so true today …being that a significant number of American college students on American campuses praising Hamas and denouncing the Jewish state of Israel. Truly scary times we are living in 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@wphh7272 yes, and it's happened before. I pity those who don't understand. I'm native american Indian. So I don't have a dog in this fight anymore. But we have watched this happen more than once.
In a Rush marathon going through the discography backwards…This song and Big Money are real standouts, so was Marathon and Manhattan Project…Onward to Grace Under Pressure, see you there fellow Rush travellers!
📺
I actually remember when "Power Windows" album was premiered on our local rock station in its entirety at midnight, on the day of the album release. I remember that I was in my first year college and my buddies were all huddled near the radio in anticipation, knowing that this was going to be the first Rush album that was digitally recorded AND digitally mastered. We were blown away at the creativeness and the crispness of the sound!! "Mystic Rhythms" became on of my favorites on this album...great song and great memories!!
Greg Potter that how you know they are great musicians.
thats a fucking great story man, I can just picture it in my mind. I'm 33 now and I wish I'd heard about Rush earlier in my life so that I could have at least seen them live once in my life. Great memory of yours and thanks for sharing

Encore: Cinderella Man
I was only 14 years old and my ears have never been the same since that night. Standing less than 6ft from the stage with massive speakers on both sides watching Neil Peart destroy the drums during the song Temples of Syrinx I became a Rush fan for life. I have been playing drums most of my life and my bandmates have always called me Neil Peart because of the way he has influenced my playing. I just recently found out that we were born on the same day 12 years apart. CRAZY! Anyway back to that night. Geddy Lee still had his unibrow going on and when he came over to the right side of the stage it was kind of freaking me out because of the blue window pane acid that me and my friends had dropped earlier. The concerts were way different back in the 70s and the booze\pot etc. was flowing everywhere. Topless women were walking around everywhere and passed out drunk people were being carried out of the place, so it was a pretty wild sight. When it was over and I got back home I remember my parents were pissed off because I was high and had lost my coat. This show was truly a life changing event in my life. The RUSH album 2112 became my new favorite at that time and even influenced my first bank loan of 3K for a Top of the line Denon Intergrated Amp stereo system with monster Polk Audio 10 speakers and a Denon Rosewood turntable with moving coil cartridge. I have been ROCKING the BLOCK with this system for the last 40 years. \m/ STAY WILD \m/
Damn, dude. It's like you put us right there with y'all.
@@2Zero8discipline Nice. I've seen Rush a handful of times, and they've delivered the goods every time, without fail. I can't claim as good a story as yours, but there was this one time in the summer of 2011 where things went a bit crazy... I had to leave The Gorge wearing only one shoe. Not my proudest moment, but I will cherish it forever.
This is my favorite song of Rush... Watching Neil appearing first here breaks my heart, I still don't believe it... Rip Neil Peart
Signals, Grace, Windows = BEST Rush period ever!
This is probably Rush's best video from a standpoint of pure filmmaking. Really interesting to look at.
Matt Channing and directed by DEVO’s Gerald Casale!
RIP Neal Perth, one great drummer
*floats around on greenscreen*
completely agree. videos were never a strong point for Rush (and never needed to be) but this one quietly triumphed. it never got the recognition it should. I would have hired Casale to do every other video!
Mark Oldman actually I believe Mercury didn’t give them the budgets they could’ve used for making even MORE mindblowing statements! Big Money is kinda half ass just given the early digital graphics just to compete with Dire Straits ‘Money for Nothing’ if you stop & think about it... their music always had such visual elements but they RARELY got the right tumblers to CLICK as they shoulda had way more interesting videos given the 80’s being the 80’s lol
R I P Neil Peart. Best drummer from the Band. Your drumbeats will be missed.
the best drummer in the world my heart is heavy with his loss
Neil wasn't in the Band he was in Rush
We missed a man who very inspiratives others on music,hopes born someone like him,Godbless you Nail P..amin.
@@pritaalviani1495 who is Nail P.?
Keep his drumming alive. Play his beats. I have since 1989. Jam the albums. Very loud
RIP Neil Peart. September 12, 1952 - January 7, 2020. You were the best drummer ever !
The Master Professor
RIP Neil he was the greatest ever. Drumming and writing
Not the greatest, but definitely in the top 10-15.
@@jumpinjojo ur wrong
Gone too soon. One of the best.
I could listen to this song a hundred times a day and I´d never get tired of it.. so beautiful
Vanessa Moraes eu tb 😍
l have already
Yes
Agree! ❤️
agreed.
I'm sorry, but any RUSH 'fan' that doesn't like this era just doesn't understand the band and what the creative process entails...Yes, even the band thinks they wandered a bit far into synth world but, oh, what a wonderful journey! Thank you, gentlemen!
RIP Neil. This is my all time favorite Rush song.
The mood is awesome...Puts me in a trance
Almost second you with that. It's hypnotic genius.
I agree Mike - one of my favorite Rush songs. Going to miss Neil’s magical rhythms...
Mike Lippenkrantz beautiful soul touching song
One of RUSH's MOST BEAUTIFUL TRACKS!!!
It is important to remember, I think, that these are the same three guys who wrote and recorded 2112, Hemispheres, Moving Pictures, etc. It may be a different period of Rush and with different production values/sounds but it is still Rush. And this song is one of my favorites for sure, always something new to find on every listen. Haunting, beautiful, complex when needed for the song as opposed to for its own sake.
Man, what can I say about rush these guys were a different level the 70s and 80s I mean even to this day, I can’t even comprehend songs that complicated is phenomenal. Thank you, Rush you are truly blessed into the Canadian Hall of Fame.
This is possibly the best form of chillwave ever (and chillwave didn't even exist at the same time). All those Moving Pictures listeners have to listen to this track
Little bit of a Tom Sawyer riff in here
Rest In Power, Professor!!!!!!!
Rush truly was an amazing band. I wish I grew up in the 80s with them
Honestly same.. Would of been so cool to have seen them live
For me Rush was a battle in my mind at 12, their lyrics (spirit of the radio vs PF's the Wall) were far more profound than I could fathom. Every time I saw them in concert, I learned more about ME, the Universe and humankind. Could I now have spent that money on a Maserati, perhaps, but I treasure every moment of their music, their intelligence and their humor. We are so blessed to have had this trio in our lives.
Experimental music at it's finest.
Power Windows is an underrated album. I was 15 when I got that one and it's a regular on my turntable.
I love coming to the comments to see all the people that love rush just as much as I do. Rush fans worship them. I just want to spread the word of Rush.
Unbelievable band.
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Old Van Halen
Iron maiden

Rush,........They changed the world.
One of the best songs ever written. Period.
Professor, greatest drummer ever, RIP
R.I.P. Mr. Neil "The Professor" Peart. You shall be missed by all us drummers/fans all over the world sir.
Rest in peace neil. Our hearts are heavy today. We love you
I was 9 when I saw this and for real thought they were gods.
My opinion hasn’t changed.
Funny because they’re atheists
@@comical3303 Many atheists can be and are Buddhists. They believe in the self. That the parts comprise the whole. Life begets life.
I used to listen to this song in my high school years. I was suffered from harsh bullying, and all the things in the world seemed to being filled with undefinable emptiness and boredom.
After back from the school in the early evening, I immediately turned on the audio, opened the window in my room, and just gazed at the red sky with my eyes half-closed, praying for someone I can’t see that he will bring some sacred lights in my busted life...this song was repeated on the background during the daily practice.
I still believe someone beyond the sky was not by my imaginations, he surely must exist...
Your post is not quite coherent but your appreciation for the song is apparent. I hope your life has improved since.
I feel ya buddy. Hopefully your life has turned out to everything you wanted. 🤗 Sending hugs
Hang tough bro
Beautiful tune
Just have to pat attention my man.it will find you.
Wow that is an amazing post! Thank you for sharing your experience. It resonates with many of us.
Well done friend.
NO band hits home runs with every tune they make, but I'll never get tired of listening to RUSH
Did you dance to it ? Too artsy for me .
Dance, you ZONED OUT TO RUSH, Acid, ,,,, Mr, NATURAL, YOU WANT TO DANCE , GO LISTEN TO DONNA SUMMER !
Easily my top 5 Rush songs! Absolutely a banger!
"The more we think we know about, the greater the unknown". - Neil Peart. My favorite Rush lyric ever. And so Neil Peart. He never stopped learning, and expanding his knowledge!
RUSH, masters of the universe.
Such a positive vibe to all of us who love them.
RIP Neil, you are deeply missed.
Thank you for all you have given us.
MTV would play this video for months literally around the same hours 9 pm, 3 am, 3 pm.
Missing Neil... R.I.P. Professor ... this was Rush, adapted to the 80´s.... made possible by the Gefilter 😄 ... loving it since´85!
After hearing "the news" today (January 10, 2020) I don't want me or you to feel sad or cry. I just want to recommend that we all binge watch all of Rush's music videos this weekend to celebrate the band & Neil's contribution to their music.🧡
Doing that right now..!!!
"... mystic rhythms .... capture my thoughts ... carry them away ..."
...nature seems to spin...supernatural way...
My favorite song from this album! I remember when it premiered. My buddies and I in HS would go see them in concert. We got together one last time for the Time Machine tour. Good memories!
Greatest band ever
🙌💯🎶🔥
I wish I was alive at the time this came out so I could be there when Rush was huge.... My generation has missed out on everything....
Neil Peart's drumming is worth the price of admission.
I happen to love this era of Rush ! It goes perfectly with the Police!
Neil Peart
To sum it up, this song is memorable. Unlike most songs today.
1000% agree...I'm starting to think this about a lot of the older stuff...even songs that I didn't like from back then.
I'm 22 and all of my favorite bands are 70's and 80's, Rush is actually my favorite,
Do you remember "most songs" of any era before "today" though?
@EnnuiVision KANSAS, GENISIS, ZZ TOP, PINK FLOYD, LED ZEPPLIN,,,,,,,,,,, LISTEN TO ANY SONG OF ANY OF THESE BANDS, AND IT WILL TAKE YOU BACK TO WHEN ROCK WAS AN EXPIERENCE, ,,, YOU COULDENT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ALBUM, LIKE VINYL ALBUM, ,,YOUR SO MISSING OUT,,,
@EnnuiVision YOU ASKED WHAT SONGS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, i NAMED A FEW FROM THAT TIME , NO I'M NOT FAMILLIAR WITH WHAT YOU KNOW, ,, APOLIGISE IF YOU TOOK IT THE WRONG WAY, THESE WERE THE BANDS THAT WERE "BEFORE TODAY ' as Elias was asking.
Something to recognize… all those special percussion effect sounds were developed and implemented and played in real time by Neil. Pretty much unheard of when it comes to post-production finalization of an album.
Think about it… how do you begin to come up with a song like this? Absolutely perfect! It can’t just be imagination? A. J. C., III 15 Jan 24 10:06pm and I’ve been jamming this song since it came out!
Some sick bass lines in there. Oh my!
R.I.P. Professor
NEIL PEART. ONE OF THE GREATEST DRUMMERS THE WORLD WILL EVER SEE & ONE OF THE BEST BANDS(along with YES & KING CRIMSON) THE UNIVERSE WILL EVER KNOW.
I can't believe people say this is their worst album. This is amazing!!
+Captain Pie Fox: Agreed!
+lurch321 HEY! I *like* Roll The Bones... :-)
***** Agree to disagree then. I think it's the worst album of their career. I DO have a soft spot for the Different Stages version of the Roll the Bones song for some reason..................it just "does it" for me.
+lurch321 yeah, roll the bones just doesn't hit that 'Rush spot' in my mind for me
+lurch321 I'm fine with rtb. Test For Echo, on the other hand, has a few good songs, but it's still their worst album imo
One of my favorite Rush songs
This is definitely my favorite Rush song!
Amber, you have great taste in music
Rest in peace Neil man I miss Rush
Neil Peart scoping out them .Electronic Drums!
this song just blows me away every time its so earthy sounding it just hits you on an almost animal level
Alex Rinaldi this song and High Water have very similar rhythms, almost like an enormous planetary heartbeat that our bodies are attuned to naturally.
It’s more of an African-style rhythm. And their rhythms are just so pure and.....well, mystic
The amazing thing about Rush is how they sound progressed so much over the years. All this great music from 3 musical geniuses
Countless hours of air drumming.. Neil Peart lives on!
My first concert was Rush in 1985. It was also the first time I took shrooms!! I was 15 at the time. I remember they had an awesome trip screen. It was a mystical experience!!
RIP Neil Peart, one of my favourite Rush songs
MY favorite song and video ever!! It has been almost 3 weeks of his loss and | still can't believe Neil is gone...
A hidden classic. Ages very nicely.
I listen to this Rush album the most. Does that mean that it’s the best Rush album for me?
This album is brilliant. Can't see why anyone doesn't like it. Some people say it's not Rush but in my opinion it's all part of what makes up rush :) . Love the video
I think it can't get more Rush than this. It's the way they should sound.
I agree this is one of Rush's top albums for sure the crown of the synthesizer era. I don't know people are always hating on the Rush synthesizer era. I know Hold You're Fire wasn't really well received, but every band has some stinkers out there, for Rush Hold You're Fire and Caress of Steel are probably what they would consider there (2) stinker albums. Rush's management I don't think liked Hold You're Fire because after that album there music changed and they got back to harder sounding music, which there management wanted and I know Lifeson had enough of the synthesizer key board era. Geddy Lee was big on the key boards and synthesizer. However this was a good album.
Agreed, the legacy of Rush includes the greatness of all their variations. I'm 50 now, and got turned on to Rush in junior high in the late 70s. Loved their sound immediately and loved hearing them evolve and change, but somehow always remained clearly Rush. With so much variety I have never stopped craving listening to them. The only thing that keeps changing is my favorite album/era. I've never truly settled on a favorite and don't think I ever will. If I go a few months or years without listening to something from Rush, I always find myself rediscovering that something, yet again, and my enjoyment is renewed and reenergized. They just do every variation of themselves so perfectly that you can't help but appreciate all of it.
I'm as big a Rush fan as the next guy, but this is simply not my favorite manifestation. I certainly appreciate it for what it was and what they were trying to get across. That's what makes these three guys so great; they tried everything (except country & western, thank Christ).
@@harveyvid Actually, they did do country (kinda, sorta) with the song, Cold Fire.
"The more we think we know about, the greater the unknown..."
we suspend our disbelief that we are not alone..
Mystic Rhythms... Capture my thoughts, carry them away.....
Mysteries of night escape the light of day.
MYSTIC RHYTHMS!!
Under Northern Lights.. or the African sun..
This whole song is about looking into the distance and thinking, pretty cool! Love the percussion, especially when driving.
The lyrics written by a man with the mind of genius, totally at peace with himself.
He's also a frikin great drummer...

RIP Neil Peart 1952-2020😭😭😭
Rest in peace, Neil.
This song, along with many others, will forever be a masterpiece. Thank you for your inspiration, and contribution to the music world.
It took me 30 years, but I finally understand that this period of Rush was quite good.
Underrated video. Visually stunning. Should be held up there with “Sledgehammer” and “November Rain.”
"the more we think we know about, the greater the unknown", words that have stuck with me since I was a kid. Thank you Neil for sharing your observations on the world with us & giving us a different perspective on life through your lyrics. Rush forever ♾️
Neil was a scientist by heart
I’ve been playing this everyday in my car. To and from work, school runs etc, blasting Mystic Rhythms.
Onde estava que só conheci essa música em 04/2023 !? ... e aí me apaixonei 💖
Rest in peace, Neil. Thanks for all you gave us.
How many of us freaked out in 1986 when we saw the intro to Mystic Rhythms!!
I'm a drummer, and Neil is my favorite!
It was magic. I started my first of 15 shows shortly after!
I can't describe in human words how amazing this is... Truly gods among men. Also, this was published on 12/21/12 which is pretty great.
***** That's why the world didn't end, the Mayans were like "Guys, on December 21 2012 the Rush levels will deplete and all will be Belibers!" But no, This video was released when the Rush level was lowest and alas the Rush levels rose to a sufficient level and thus we are still here! :D
This video saved the world...

@@clevelandrixiii3415 DiD YOU GET TO SEE RUSH WHEN THEY PLAYED IN CLEVELAND ? 1980 CLEVELAND COLLISEUM, GOLDEN EARING, OPENING ACT ( RADAR LOVE ) , was one of the greatest shows I ever attended, 2112, they PLAYED THE ENTIRE ALBUM, WAS LIFE ALTERING.
I remember when this was a brand new video when it first premiered on MTV as a showcase video reveal in 1985.
Once upon a time, artists actually had to put effort into writing and composing a song. RIP, music.
Couldn't of said it better. Back in time artists use to have talent...RIP music
Power windows…amazing album from start to finish
