[@MrsMuir-yp7kw]

I feel you man. My heart is broken for this great loss. I've been a fan for 40 years

[@LabH2ODawg]

You’re not alone Snowdog... I cry every time I see or hear anything Rush. This is a tough one for sure.

[@EdmontonVideoMan]

Your Guru has merely returned home to the Master of Masters! Professor... Come back to us and may you carry with you that precious thread of your soul so that when you play and compose that we who await you will have no doubt of your identity. He will return to us... such a gift of truth cannot remain covered forever, rather it is destined to return... God bless you Neil, can't wait to have you back!!!

[@luccasmenoncin]

First time in my life I cried about death of someone I've never met. Missed the opportunity of seing him live in 2012. RIP Master Neil

[@lizberry81]

"When I heard that he was gone, I felt a shadow cross my heart..." RIP Neil

[@Free-Gee]

Read this right just as Ged was singing it o-8

[@Schumanized]

Indeed man...Indeed😢

[@ernanimacedo344]

Perfect

[@williamhommel4252]

I can't watch the boys without tearing up. Our poet is gone, and I am sad.

[@chrisradley7542]

@@williamhommel4252 Eternally sad and true, But Neil, Alex and Geddy left us a catalog of some of the most extraordinary performances, recorded and live that I have ever experienced - I've seen them 20 plus times. They and their music carried me through a couple of tough times (big lyrics credit to the Professor - Neil ) more than any other artist/musician/group in the last 50 years. So though our poet is gone his works remain. And every opportunity I get to transport myself back the some part of a Rush concert reminds me of how lucky I was to have experienced the joy they gave me and others. Cheers. Here's to everyone's hero...The greatest drummer/lyricist ever and his cohorts, three pretty cool guys from Toronto, Ontario who just wanted to make music. Long Live Rush !

[@Chris-ug6bs]

Imagine, this song is 27 years old!!! Sounds better than anything on the radio today....

[@John-go8dy]

Can't believe it's been that long already

[@TheExiledTexan]

"Hero is the voice of reason against the howling mob, hero is the pride of purpose in the unrewarding job." Those lyrics are among my favorite in any song ever written.

[@neckarsulme]

Those are really profound....I have loved those ever since I first heard them

[@victorpina7334]

I agree with you

[@josephbunone6126]

Dedicated to the Professor Neil Pearl RIP Neal thank you always for your Genius , it’s Heartfelt, we will miss you!

[@edwardlhesta7258]

Farewell Niel. You were everyone's hero...❤️

[@stevendiblasio3573]

Well said Edward !!!.This song is truly one of his best .We have lost a piece of our soul today

[@Alex_science]

More than a hero. He is a god, a reference, the perfection, THE PROFESSOR.

[@andrewparkinson8837]

never felt the loss of someone outside my family as much as I have done with Neil

[@countroshculla]

True that!

[@superslayerguy]

safe to say, Neil was everybody's hero 💙

[@chrisubias7135]

Such a sad beautiful song. I tear up because of my ignorance in my younger years. I learned the price of my phobia oh too late. But at least I learned and changed my heart

[@TheRealDannAlexander]

This.

[@brianmalaquias9425]

What a fool I used to be. The truest lyrics Neil said he ever wrote. When we are young, we think we know everything when we really know virtually nothing. I look back on what I used to be and I say the same thing too. What a fool I used to be. If you haven't read Ghost Rider travels along the healing road I highly recommend it.

[@MJultraB]

Soul development use the lesson

[@claverhouse1]

@Gisselle ST It is about many things, and one of them is the thing you claim it is not

[@groovyprongles]

im so proud of you for realizing your mistakes and changing your ways. youre a good person and dont let your past define who you are now ❤️

[@frankiew8532]

This song is about us, everyday normal people, 99.9% of the population who will never be remembered by history.

[@johnleidorf2280]

How can Rush affect me so deeply? Since I was a kid, I have listened to this band. Words just cannot describe how important all of this music is to me.

[@Twotontessie]

Dreams transport desires Drive you when you're down

[@richardmcentee8146]

The message of this song lifted me in my darkest moment...and I’m still here nearly 30 years later. Neil is my fucking hero. RIP.

[@stevendiblasio3573]

Neil Peart has passed away today.Just had to listen to this song. What sad lyrics! He was my HERO

[@friedpickles342]

He was my hero

[@joshualopez5962]

Be your own hero... Neil Peart....

[@loafersheffield]

Only got three heroes. Peart, G. Carlin and C. Hitchens. Kinda works for me.

[@Twotontessie]

He was as important to me in overall impact as John Lennon, Townshend or anyone you could name.

[@Schumanized]

A masterpiece!! Neil's lyrics here are so profound it hurts.

[@markdemell8056]

Hahaha ,good one ! Yes they are ! VISCERAL!

[@Dutil49]

well said, probably their best song from the 90s

[@dexterdog62]

Rush. Best band EVER. Period.

It's like... we are thinking from the same mind!

[@jamesgoulet2254]

Some people don’t like to hear it when I tell them my favorite bands. Sorry man, there’s only one on the list!

[@neotheone7923]

man i miss rush. i know there is 40 years of music..but they are no more and that hurts

[@nicholasvinen]

Have you listened to Dream Theater? They are inspired by Rush. Heavier but great in their own way.

[@philipmccarroll1505]

One of Rush, and Neil's greatest songs. Geddy sings it well here. The voice of reason against the howling mob.

[@furcatcher]

A band whose music actually has meaning and purpose. RIP professor and thanks for 40 plus years of music.

[@mehmetmutluoglu1542]

What a trio...A trio plays like a thousand of musicians.

[@ipnpen311]

after all these years. this is still one of their best Songs. So Powerful.

[@bach27]

Miss my band.

[@derflipflop]

Rest In Peace Neil Peart. You were the Master. 1/10/20 You will be missed. Until we meet again...

[@jordancampos6864]

*1/07/20 We only didn’t hear about it until three days later. R.I.P. Neil Ellwood Peart *09/12/1952 - 01/07/2020*

The date that I printed was the date of my post, not his passing.

[@jeffbassplays]

@@derflipflop Ah.

[@MsGeorgieBrown]

So many people - doctors, nurses, care workers, etc - risking their lives to care for us: HEROES!!

[@tiagofernandopela9232]

Thanks God, because Rush is a flash of light in the darkness of this world...

[@kevinkilduff2064]

An underplayed and underrated song. Gorgeous lyrics and melody. A great song!

[@andrewcorbett5729]

Only a sensitive beautiful soul could write this. To be composed and performed alongside two other great souls. Rush.

[@Toktokispoison]

Somebody wake me from this nightmare. It can’t be real

[@rayminthecat]

His bass playing is the epitome of compact and efficiency... basically the Yoda of bass!

[@richardtruett2667]

Rush was so far ahead of us with their lyrics.

[@ILikeStyx]

Can't believe this was never released as a full live show.

[@billstrye9075]

Probably. One of the last songs of that incredible band! RIP.. NEIL.

[@Boldaslove71]

The shot where you see Alex pressing a synth pedal, sing into the mic and out comes a harmony of Ged's voice - the cameraman / editor just solved a great mystery!

[@prettynoose8497]

Neil Peart= Everybody's Hero!!!! Sad to know that now-iconic drumkit sits empty

[@trevorrudge8556]

When I Heard He Was Gone I Felt A Shadow Across My Heart

[@vibefrequencyable]

Man...brings tears to my eyes...this...brothers in arms.dire straits.and time from pink floyd. Those three are an emotional gut wrencher for me...all for different reasons.

[@markblackman2542]

So powerfull makes me cry ,not ashamed to say so

[@vasilissarikis]

The line 'As the years went by we drifted apart, when I heard that he/she was gone I felt a shadow across my heart' brings a chill all over my body. Maybe the most emotive line that Geddy has sung.

[@jrock2270]

I found out today the loss of a dear friend. I immediately thought of this song and came here to play it in her honor as I felt her shadow cross my heart. Rip To Linda Jean Skay from the milky way she was Here to put a bright spot in your day.

[@prettynoose8497]

Lost my oldest brother one month ago. Father Time will claim us all......he's undefeated!!!!

[@gump361]

Love this song counterparts is one of my favorite albums

[@jayonlinemaster]

Freaking great song ...forever

[@fabiorubato9434]

I think the only Rush song that ever moved me to tears. Love this song and the album...a real turning point for them as they rediscovered their roots. IMHO

[@shelleyharrop1419]

The garden will too

[@joshuasanutelli-ryckman9065]

Had the privilege to see Rush twice both times they sounded identical to or better than the radio versions. Absolutely incredible

[@Twotontessie]

Finally just got to the Counterparts album. Wow. This is extraordinary. Pure Neil. And Geddy's singing is just beautiful.

[@santiagoimbachi6381]

Were you listening to the records in chronological order?

[@Twotontessie]

@@santiagoimbachi6381 Kind of ... I just lost track and wasn't buying their records as they were coming out by the mid 90s. I'm caught up now :)

[@Susanna-l9v]

It's hard for anyone to live in this life and this broken world but it was really cool how that song came out and it touches my heart tremendously

[@LeewardStudios]

Wow 20 years later and the howling mobs are taking over. We need the voice of reason! We need a hero.

[@alexmurphy5289]

This is prime live rush by the way.... Wow, they were so incredible. Also the bass lick at 1:55 is one of my favorite of their entire discography. I don't know why but it's just a perfect fill and I adore it

[@aaron69420-u]

This has always been one of my very favorite Rush songs. This performance does it justice.

[@c.a.t.732]

I absolutely love this song. It's a great example of Rush's humanistic vision. What other band had lyrics that expressed such relevant themes with such compassion?

[@christopheroliver2465]

"Cures a wasting disease" "Solves great mysteries" We need these in today's troubled times. Stay healthy everyone.

[@JohnSmith-wd9rc]

......wow......such profound lyrics. Amazing. Neil knocked out of the park with this one.

[@sandrareginacassimiro4081]

eu gosto muito dessa música ela é linda demais maravilhosa

[@jdb44]

This is the prettiest Rush song, both in its music and message

[@dannilaser16]

Geddy and Alex should write a song to honour Neil Peart and do it live on television. HE DESERVES IT.

[@chebrneck]

I saw this tour at Fiddler's Green in Colorado in May 1997

[@VoodooCrab]

I was there!

[@helmiabdullah2271]

Its like listening from their cd record...greatest live band in the planet

[@kennethcordero6983]

I played this song for my girlfriend in my bedroom. We sat there listening, our eyes caught each other. I went in for the kill. She entertained my kiss with hers. We have been married for 12 years now. Love you,baby babe!

[@gilbysiauw6663]

I love this song

[@adrianlang6550]

Although I have been a Rush fan since 1979 and have a lot of their records on vinyl as well as lots of CD's. For some bizarre reason I missed Counterparts completely until very recently. Now I honestly think it is one of their best albums. It is a clean rock sound and some superb tracks with sublime lyrics such as on this track. Walking through the countryside with this in ear buds, life does not get much better. Neil was everybody's hero. Thank you Neil RIP.

[@VoodooCrab]

There are a lot of gems in their last four albums.

[@lucioaires2522]

R.I.P Neil Peart!

[@overtimefreak2685]
