My first husband passed away from a rare form of cancer in 2009, I set up a relaxation room with a sofa and his Bose system. My neighbours helped paint the room sunshine yellow, coincidentally, Closer to the Heart was played on the radio, despite the pain, he sang every lyric, two days later he passed away, we played this track at the funeral and 2112, Rush were with him until the very end, long live Rush x x x x x

We are all one spiritual organism split into similar groups of molecules who bounce of one another every day. Everyone who has ever lived is inside you and everyone else. Including him. Feel the sunshine and breath the air so that he may also. 🙏🌄

[@Just_Jake_91]

My dad passed away 6 days before my 22nd birthday. I'm 31 now and today, 4/14, is his birthday. He would've been 64. We used to go fishing every weekend and he would always put on the radio and turn it to the classical rock station for "RUSH Hour". Such great memories whenever I hear this music now. Makes me wish we could cast a line one more time. Love you dad Rest easy.

[@matthewmorton7386]

God bless you eh… I lost my dad 34 days before my 30th I miss you All the love 🎣

[@frankstein4931]

For ordained reasons I am here to tell you we all are here today to cast a line, One more time. For me i read it in matthew 4 i think, fishers of men. The next day out exploring California coast I met Noble Tom, who was casting out from the beach, surffishing.. I pulled up asking if he had caught any. He told me about Jesus and showed me also a bucket of water full of fish. I remained in that area for years. Never again did I see anyone catch anything there. Im slow.

Giddy Lee seems like the nerdiest one. Neil Pert seems like a pretty standard 70s Jock type guy tbqh. Definetely did a lot of drugs together though. Find it really hard to believe otherwise.

[@dwainsellers6453]

[@LS__812]

I feel ya. Some songs just mean more to some than others

[@ricktraficanti2673]

David Lathrop I agree with u

[@mo2112mo]

Rand's philosophy was that the artist should guide society to higher states of conscience. Improving man's lot on this planet. I think Neil Peart new and embraced the idea as evident in these lyrics. "Each must know his part" He certainly inspired my life and will be missed.

[@savannahmariew]

My dad has seen Rush, 7 times in concert, and after finally going with him for his 8th time, I can see why! Amazing!!!

[@Tess1061]

When I really let myself sit and think about these lyrics - they always move me to tears. I don't even have to listen to the song for it to elicit such a reaction. This song is just so beautiful.

[@pineapplequeen13]

My dad wore out 3 tapes of this album when he was younger. He listened to it so much that his roommate in the air force still can't listen to the album without thinking of my dad! Now my dad's love for this album has been passed on to me, because this is by far my favorite Rush album. I love it!! :D

[@drugsbunny8355]

And the men who hold high places Must be the ones who start To mold a new reality Closer to the heart Closer to the heart The blacksmith and the artist Reflect it in their art They forge their creativity Closer to the heart Yes closer to the heart Philosophers and ploughmen Each must know his part To sow a new mentality Closer to the heart Yes closer to the heart, yeah You can be the captain And I will draw the chart Sailing into destiny Closer to the heart Closer to the heart Well closer to the heart, yeah Closer to the heart Closer to the heart I said closer to the heart Well closer to the heart yeah Closer to your heart Closer to your heart

[@emilykerimian8272]

My dad is such a bad singer, and yet, when I hear him sing this song, it always makes me smile. I am so grateful for my dad for exposing me to such great, timeless music and for showing me the joy of just being myself.

[@1414jlo1414]

Yall haters don't realize that Geddy Lee's voice helps makes Rush who they are. His voice makes them instantly recognizable and different. It may be a bit weird but oh well the rest of the band is okay with how he sings so get over it. You don't have to listen to it if it really offends you that freaking much.

[@Gakulon]

jessica marie He has a great singing voice. It's clear and easy to understand, not to mention it's just pleasant to listen to.

[@camerondavis1971]

Thank u

[@BURN1NGx1NS1D3]

Anybody who hates Geddy's voice can suck me.

[@beuxjmusic]

Anyone who dislikes a band because of one factor, like a style of voice, and is unable to appreciate the whole art for its talent and purpose, is a mindless fool.

[@davidkless9131]

His voice is excellent. Couldn't imagine anyone else doing Rush songs better.

[@simply-living8523]

Gives me loving nostalgia. My dad worked at a hospital as an AC tech and sometimes was on call and whenever they'd page him he would take me and my brothers with him to work and on our way home we would always stop by a near by Best Buy to look around in case he was paged to go back in. We were always in the CD section and I remember my dad picking out "Greatest Rush Hits" and he told me and my brothers (mind you I was about 8 years old) that this was a badass band and he wasn't wrong! Learned and fell in love with many classics my dad had us listening to.

[@OneEyedKeys]

Living on a farm, I am more ploughman than blacksmith, artist, or philospher, though I have read many. Yet I do indeed sow my work closer to the heart, and buy from those producers who do the same, be it books, music, or entertainment. Obviously hollywood is out for me, among others. ;) Thanks Neil. You were the best!

[@jjdubious1]

R.I.P. Neil, you were the penultimate artist. I hope you made a lot of people think deeper.

Rest in power Neil. Together with John Bonham, gods of drums.

We Played This, Along with Time Stand Still At my Fathers' funeral back in January 2019, After he passed away in a bus accident. He had always been a diehard Rush Fan. All I Thought after Neil Peart died, was that My father and him are rocking out in heaven together ☺ RIP Bruce Thomlinson 1962-2019♡

[@skooby_doobie_doonkann3334]

This is a classic that never gets old. Rush is such an underrated band

[@5RAMAR5]

Under rated for whom???their music AND lyrics are not for common man !! if you know and like RUSH you must be the outcasted the different one ….”Opinions all provided ,The future pre - decided ,Detached and subdivided In the mass production zone nowhere is the dreamer or misfit so alone”….With all due respect 🫡

[@jaxflfreebird]

Is this the BEST Rush song of all time? I think it probably is. The song is a strong dose of HOPE and WISDOM or wishful thinking. It lifts the spirit though.

[@dilynazzopardi2598]

No no no, it's not the just best rush song of all time, it's the best song in general of all time

[@FrankHarrison12]

Every Rush song is the best Rush song of all time, just read the comments on any video.

[@branman4959]

I agree with most of what u are saying but if ur looking for a Rush masterpiece 2112 overture is the masterpiece

[@Blacksheep793]

Wishful thinking indeed. Maybe a dream. We can only pray the sleeping will wake up, and grasp their beautiful reality. Stop being Nimrods...

[@brianeckes8826]

This song always made me think deeply about the idea and concept of 'heart' and exactly what it meant to have a good 'heart'. Without realizing it, these guys are philosophers for all time in a musical vein. Rock on RUSH. I also would imagine fantasy and science fiction worlds while listening to all their albums, especially 2112. These guys allowed me (a vehicle) to escape the harsh realities of growing up (puberty) and bad relationships between family and others (bullies, abuse, etc). Crazy times, but RUSH was there to help with the hurt.

[@brianeckes8826]

And yes, I imagine Jesus rocking out to this as well lol. Guilty. But RUSH did try to improve a world that was messed up, exactly like the Jesus of the New Testament, nothing wrong with that at all. RUSH was trying to get people back to a reality grounded in goodness (closer to the Heart) just like Jesus did in the New Testament. Rock on RUSH, I hope you continue to make music in some form or fashion. I may even be able to demonstrate the idea that this song was in a reaction against the previous Vietnam war. Maybe.

[@marcomagallanes6043]

Moving Pictures wow I am class of 83 and the best music to listen specially with an altered state of mind lol. I listen to their music as I was sheltered growing up at about 18 years old, first it was the music then the I started paying attention to the lyrics. What an eye opening experience, when the other bands were writing easy party sexual or just plan ignorant lyric, Neil was actually making you think and opening your mind to in some way benefit your life. Rest in peace Neil Peart even though you thought of me as a strangers in the flesh, in spirit we were brothers in Christ. Peace and joy now have come to you as you are reunited with the ladies you tragically lost. God speed to you, Alex, Geddy and all the Rush fans.

[@carolinekear9864]

I had this music on 8 Track and album in high school (1978) The sweetest boy went with me to all the concerts and we married decades later. Our love of Rush and music have grown. Our love affair is endless!!!! Thank you, Geddy, Alex and Neil. Our love for y’all is endless too.

[@eugenekrabs1860]

it warms my heart to see all of my fellow Sunnyvale residents

[@DucksUpDogsDownCatsSlide]

Philosopher and plough person Each must know their part, To a sow a mentality, Closer to the heart. I don't get how some people criticize Neil Peart's songwriting, I think he is a great lyricist.

[@richardbeaudangles2559]

@Nimbus Nimbus, he did that on purpose buddy

[@brianeckes8826]

Let the haters hate, Neil was writing from experience and imagination, he bridged these two concepts brilliantly and with passion. He was expressing his creativity completely and the other band-mates supplemented it with their talent. I remember going through a lot of dark days in my youth and these guys helped bring me through it on countless times. Haters will always hate but they will fade away like the grass that whithers when it gets exposed to the sun. Honest creativity will always survive for generations to come.

When I was a 12 year old boy, I won tickets off of a local radio station to see Rush& Max Webster in concert. This after staying up until all hours of the night to win them. My dad was a truck driver so I ran the house at night. Anyways, on the day of the show( mid- March,1977), I went to pick the tickets up at the radio station and somebody had already claimed them. I was some dejected as I walked the 2 miles home . When I got there I told the old man what had transpired and he gave me the 13$ needed to buy two more tickets. I took my then best buddy with me and we had a great time. It was a huge party like we had never seen in our little lives before . We had a better time bragging to our buddies the next day at school about it. I remember my ears ringing for several days afterwards. This album was the tour they were on for the show.

[@Mr19842006]

[@stevejones7200]

Rush is a band that you truly don't appreciate until you are older. You see the depth and brilliance of the lyrics. They showed you only needed one guitar a bass and drums to make music that will forever survive a lifetime.

[@keenbaker-dias1137]

This for me is more of a personel prophecy than I think rush could imagine.. I personally dont listen to much rock music and this came to me by chance..and it left my jaw on the floor..I dont think I've ever heard a tune that literally spelt out my future (now present) like this tune..unbelievable...good work rush ..and recieved in 2022 just at the right time now I'm nearly 50..like the song said it was destiny..sending my love in return🙏

Closer to the heart. So when it comes to great songs, for a, political them. Or most any them. This is a great song, ... Really it is as good as it gets. Love it ❤️

[@chrischandler889]

I love this song and i know this will be blasphemy but the only line in the entire song I don't like is the "the men who hold high places..." line. That has been the norm for thousands of years and look where that got us? I think in my subjective opinion that "we who hold low places must be the ones to start. To mold a new reality closer to the heart... That is literally my only gripe within this masterpiece and it is only my humble subjective opinion.

Probably the one song by Rush that's actually optimistic instead of sounding optimistic but being bitterly cynical underneath.

[@Gradient14]

How about: The Garden Ghost of a Chance

[@akiuop123]

What's wrong with being bitterly cynical about the shitty nature of humanity? Its more honest than sugarcoating everything with optimism.

[@fbiagentfrank]

Super Pochaco Agreed. One of the only songs on earth that gives me goosebumps to this day.

[@robertcomperchio381]

Super Pochaco How is Rush cynical? Yeah, some of there songs are a little dark, but most are happy.

[@Gakulon]

Super Pochaco They seemed pretty happy about the weed on A Passage To Bangkok Edit: In all seriousness, The Camera Eye is pretty upbeat and optimistic as well
