Vapor Trails is a fantastic album, a comeback that fans were glad to see. But there was so much whining about the mix the songs didn't get the praise they deserve IMHO

I'm still mourning his loss. Such a deep thinker that many didn't understand him, but he found his outlet with his Brothers and we got the amazing gift of seeing it. Imagine if his amazing mind never got the chance to reach the masses? I'm just so grateful that we saw his genius, however I'm sad at the fact that it was cut short.

[@ReluctantWarrior]

This song is what got me into Rush and its no coincidence that the first of their albums I bought when I started collecting recently was the 2013 remix of this album. Might even still get the original release for the hell of it, since VT has always been my personal favourite of their albums - even over 2112 (which is also good(

[@schmittelt]

Neil Peart's wife and daughter died within a year of each other. At the time, the future of Rush was very much in question. Then, I heard on the radio that Neil got remarried. Victory! For him and for fans. This was the next thing we heard from the band. That's the context. The music and lyrics speak for themselves

[@johnnyenglish9622]

Check out the book he wrote called Ghost Rider. I think a long motorcycle journey across North America to heal his pain and meeting his wife to be helped him come back.

I reccommend checking out the whole band though - bloody NFS 6 got me into them. If I'm not mistaken they're probably the biggest band ever featured on NFS with a non-rearranged song (the biggest aside from Most Wanted 2012 full stop, actually, if I'm not mistaken).

[@arctictimberwolf]

+YourFavoriteTwinzz The Connections to LEAP YEAR BIG FOOT MOON LANDING. So, you seriously don't know what happened in 1969. Come on...wake up ! 2 down One UP, 2 up ONE down, 3 Doors Down *1696 was a Leap Year* England begins passing laws on trade. *The Royal African Trade Company* looses it's SLAVE TRADE MONOPOLY NEW England begins engaging in Slave Trading for PROFIT. The following Leap Year New York and Massachusetts orders ALL Catholic Priests to leave the Colonies under penalty of life in Prison or Death. The CROWN then passes a law that states all trade must be done with English built Ships called the *NAVIGATION ACT OF 1696* _WHITE AMERICANS WERE TRYING TO FREE THOSE UNGRATEFUL BLACK FOLKS_ Anyways a whole lot of bullshit happened that led to the *AMERICAN REVOLUTION* Now in 1969 is the year following a *LEAP YEAR* and the year that American Men stepped off the Eagle and placed their *BIG FOOT* on the MOON saying "One small step for man, one *GIANT LEAP* for mankind" The prior year in Viet Nam there was an incident involving Operation Market Time, Game Warden, The Tet Offensive and Operation Sea Lords using Modified Swift Boats on River Patrol to recover a very special basket. Like a Yogi Bear Pick-nick basket, so to speak but more like Mose in the River Nile. Moses had 2 mothers. Solomon had to judge between 2 mothers. This thing is so very deep that is why there is a huge coverup. It might very well be a Grand Game of Capture the Flag/Banner. Only the Flag/Banner is a King who is suffering memory loss due to getting hit in the head with a reed. Please read the Bible and look into what I AM telling you !!! *TET Connection* This is probably going to be very offensive and I hope you all understand that it is for your own good. First you need to know that the Church of whom the Son of God is the Head is the Church of the Firstborn which is written in Heaven and of the order of Melchizedek. The other 7 churches are subordinate as it is written. Hebrews 12:22-29 + the 7 churches of Revelation = 8:^ЯOΛR The Catholics tried to kill God !!! They failed !! I AM Alive ! Now I will take your 6 that you meant 4 evil and turn it on it's head 2 make it 900D. That is the True meaning of 69 !!! (Genesis 50:19-20) U C, Turn a 6 upside down, you get 9 then add 2 ZEROs plus 4 = 900D Add 2 O's and you have the double OD Round ammunition connection. .30-06 (said Thirty OD 6) What was meant for evil is now good, GOOD = 9ood D is the 4th letter, Delta Δ meaning = DOOR i (eYe) is the 9th letter in the English Alpha bET and *tet in Ancient Hebrew* which is ⊗ a circle with an x in it symbolizing a clay BaskET meaning "Surround or Contain" and is Greek Theta θ Θ which is the Ancient Hebrew symbol quph which in English is the letter Qq and in Hebrew symbolizes the sun at the horizon and means to condense and circle time. You should take careful note of Q-bert video game and the character Q in Star Trek as I AM spilling a HUGE can of beans here and all over the internet 4 U because I care !I have split the Matrix and R.I.P. the Veil Top to Bottom then SHREDDED IT INTO CHAFF WITH MY CROWN. Please believe Me! They "painted" chemtrails in a great big X over My old house in 2012 and this past August made a crop circle in the form of a Dove encoded with My name next to the Ancient Hebrew Letter Gam (Gimel) which is Gamma in Greek and is a symbol of a Foot for obvious reasons.

His sense of loss and directionless-ness that led him on a 55,000-mile journey by motorcycle across much of North America (in less than a year), down through Mexico to Belize, and back again. He had to relearn all over again that to get up and to achieve the bigger victories after a setback, a loss, or a heartbreak, you need to claim every little victory you can. His memoir “Ghost Rider: Travels on The Healing Road” is a great read.

[@williamcox955]

I don’t care what anyone says - I think the original version of this album sounds better than the remastered one.

[@auto2112]

Got to agree. For so long I wanted a remastered version then when they did it, I was just just disappointed and shocked. It was too clean, they brought a lot of background sound to the forefront, it just wasn't as good. Can't play it on Spotify anymore either. 👿

I'm on the same page!!! I used to play NFS HP2 a lot back in the day, and I totally loved this song, but I never even heard of Rush and I had no idea this was them! Eventually, I grew fond of classic rock and listening to the local classic rock radio station I found out about Rush and I loved their music. I listen to all their classics: Tom Sawyer, Spirit of the Radio, Freewill, Working Man, Limelight, etc. etc. Then, just today, that same radio station (101.5 KGB) was talking about the history of Rush, so I'm like yeah I love that band, then I heard this song and I was like "NO WAY, IT'S THAT SONG FROM NFS HP2!!!!"

[@lgd1974]

The writing of Rush’s 2003 song “One Little Victory” is a miracle in and of itself. In 1997 , just five years earlier, lyricist for Rush, rock god and drummer legend Neil Peart had endured the death of his only daughter Selena and the death of his wife ten months later. He retired from the band, and stopped drumming. Faced with overwhelming sadness and isolated from the world in his home on the lake, Peart was left without direction.
