Rush - The Pass (Fleesh Version)

[@heathscheibmeir8011]

Out of a tremendous catalogue to choose from, this is one of my favorite songs Rush ever did. The band had similar feelings, and I wonder if the message of this song was one of the factors that kept Neil from doing the unthinkable after the deaths of his daughter and wife.

[@crunch3rYouTube]

I am a Rush superfan...30 years of concerts, I'm supercritical on Rush covers...this takes The Pass to a new level. This would make Getty and Alex tear up. Its really a beautiful song and singers feel/interpretation is nothing less than perfect. You guys nailed it need some more! How about Ghost of a chance from Roll the Bones! SUB'd!

[@FleeshOfficial]

Thank you very very much, my friend!!! ❤❤❤❤glad you liked!

[@dgminner]

When you visit with them.in 2022, hopefully you can speak about some of the covers you had done, and how they had inspired you and your music.

[@newsphotog61]

🙏⏳❤️

[@StrangeBrewABQ]

I was about to say the same thing. It moves me beyond measure to see people covering their work with fire and passion.

[@psc1117]

I love Rush. I love This. You guys just turned a crappy day into a great day!!

[@magicsinglez]

Best cover. Drummer: not overactive/too noisy. Guitars: great and original. Band: made this song their own.

[@FleeshOfficial]

glad you enjoyed!!! thank you so much!!! :D

[@pestaneira]

God in music form. Bravo!

[@johnmcdonnell706]

As a long time Rush fan this is one of the best covers I have ever herard. You made it your own but preserved the soul of the original. Magnificent.

[@chandrawarburton5932]

I Found a cover as well that I visit often....rooftop subdivisions....cheers

[@kpasso3990]

I concur!

[@ogdocvato]

Indeed, magnificent.

[@TobyGreynolds]

So agree. As I am too a life long Rush fan.

[@docrocker7]

@@chandrawarburton5932 Very good cover. Thanks, Chandra!

[@MichaelBross1977]

I wish it hadn't taken Neil's passing for me to find this. This was my favorite song of Rush's for as long as I can remember. Thank you for reminding me of that.

[@FleeshOfficial]

We are so so sad my friend... :(

[@docrocker7]

I have the same sentiments, Michael. I've been scouring the videos to fill that void left by Neil's passing. What a great version we discovered.

[@SoberIrishman]

Such a beautiful rendition indeed.

[@johnbeckman492]

Getty said it's one of his favorites too.

[@davidtaylor4975]

One of Geddy's favourites too!

[@MrJohnECanuck]

Beautiful cover! This woman's voice just suits this song. It was like it was written for her to sing. #RIPNeilPeart

[@davidherron5663]

JohnE Canuck: agree 100% with you! These musicians are exceptionally talented. I'm sure the band would all be flattered -- and proud -- of this version

[@jameshart9185]

I find all rush covers are suited better by female vocals just works ..

[@udmbfckx2916]

Now after Neil's passing, I can see how all of these covers will become Rock Classics, even for those Rush compositions that were not as popular or got airplay time. We as RUSH fans knew the value, but other listeners will learn the quality of the music, the tone, the harmonies, the simple complexities, the things that made RUSH an extraordinary Rock Power Trio, the likes we will probably never see again.

[@stephenwebb921]

Well said!

[@GEDDY37]

True🇨🇦

[@williesnyder2899]

THANK YOU!! I needed this! One of my very, very best friends died one year to the day before Neil Peart died... I still deeply grieve them both each day...all day...all night... I followed RUSH from 1976. I followed my great friend-to-be, Nolan, from November 12, 1981. I saw RUSH many, many times; their last tour included. I knew Nolan for 37 years! Thank you!!

[@jimpett8802]

Thank you Gabby and company. I am a survivor and love you and Neil so much. I spent thirty days in detox listening to your version of this song in 2019. It pulled me through a very dark time in my life. Bless your sweet voice. I learned to play this song on guitar and bass using this track as a background. Many a night, I put this at the highest volume with headphones. Even at four in the morning, this song was my battle cry. Pardon my previous posts, this I was trying to post. Thank you again, Gabby.

[@jimpett8802]

Neil would be so proud. You are using digital drums, "who else other than Neil, could be so accurate?". Metronomes set themselves by Neil and Charlie. I owe my life to you. I...thirty days, after a failed suicide, could not even do that right. I survived. Caught your version...now I want to live. Done ✅ good Gabby. I know Rush, in Rio, are super proud. Bless you and your band.

[@jimpett8802]

Your guitarist has the exact Strat I have. It came out of the blue.

[@socratesmoderno7401]

God cried of happiness when He listenend this version!!!

[@rapturekevin]

I think geddy would be jealous its his favorite song. Well done!

[@yushco]

How can 90 people not like this beautiful version of The Pass. They must not know The Greatest Band ever. Great job!

[@orestohluk154]

fantastic work my friends !! more please , when you can , thank you !! O

[@paulorocks]

Absolutely loved your version. It was a gift to find you in these sad days

[@FleeshOfficial]

Thank you my friend... Yes... We are so sad... "The professor" never be forgotten!

[@27pugsly]

Yes me too accidentally stumbled across this video what an emotional version very well done 👍🏻

[@jasonouellette2436]

All of us get lost in the darkness.... All of us do time in the gutter.... You guys know the rest. Probably the best lyrics I've ever heard/read

[@williesnyder2899]

And we can all see that RUSH fans grieve, feel, appreciate, love, and support those in our midst who are hurting... As one wise commenter said, getting on a motorcycle helped Neil. That’s not a option for me, but, like Neil, I bicycle. I walk. I lift wrights. I write. I read. I think and feel. It’s difficult to find kindred souls and absorb the blows that life/ humans give, but there are things to do! I find solace in the rhythm of making chain mail, in the order of tying decorative knots, in the cadence of strolling a path or hiking a hill, in the circular motion of pedaling a bicycle, in the push and pull and breathing if exercise... To those RUSH fans, to those humans, who are hurting, know that Neil hurt, Geddy and Alex hurt,!we all, we all, hurt. Find a purpose. Find a star, yes. Find a friend. (Look up You Need a Friend or? from the very first RUSH album...) Plan - and follow through on - a positive project to help others; finding help for yourself in the doing. Adopt a cat or a dog or a fish or a neighborhood flock of sparrows. Water a plant. Pick wild raspberries. Make friends with herself, flaws and all. JUST . . . DO NOT GIVE UP!!! Turn around. Get off the ledge. Put it down, whatever it is. Take the wheel back. Toss the booze and the pills. Grab a bandage. Choose to be here yet!!! It is worth being here yet!!! Bless you all! Bless RUSH and everyone associated with them!!

[@E2112-s2p]

Guys I'm a 40 year old long time Rush fan....been having such a hard time with their retirement that I haven't been able to listen to them. .....but your beautiful covers are bringing me back. Thank you for doing this , beautiful work.

[@PGGMusic]

Yes, it really suck that Rush has retired. Good thing there are such great covers like this one. You might also search for Lotus Land and YYNot on KZbin.

[@kingsethos5108]

Algorithm just reached this old man's ears, I see I am years late to the party. This is great! You just acquired another fan.

Coming from a 52 year old life-long Rush fan, three words. Very well done.

"Someone set a bad example Made surrender seem all right The act of a noble warrior Who lost the will to fight.." A beautiful rendition of one of the band's greatest songs. Bravo!

[@wordplay799]

Simply wonderful 👂👍

[@thlarose3070]

I love this version of this song - it maybe my favorite song of all time......rip Neal

[@cygnux]

I have to admit, I'm a die hard Rush fan and this has always been one of my favorite songs by them . Normally I'm not a fan of cover tunes but this is so well done and incredible, I just had to let you know.

[@FleeshOfficial]

Thank you for your kind words cygnux!!! :)

[@dquaidman]

It's an amazing cover of one of my all-time favorite songs. Just beautiful

Absolutely unbelievable and unforgettable. Made me cry too. I am also a survivor. No longer living at the razor's edge.

Absolutely Love Your Versions of These Classic Rush Songs. Amazing !!!! This is So Cool To Watch !!! The Guitar Player Plays The Guitar and The Bass. He's Truly Amazing.!! She Also Has An Amazing Voice!!! Wow !!! I Could Literally Watch This all Nite Long Man !! Coolest Thing I Have Seen In The Longest Time.!! Loved Your Version Of The Garden. Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic!!!

[@juliocesarvaltamirano8845]

[@JohnSmith-wd9rc]

You must must must do some Trees of Eternity songs. Her voice is so perfect and pure, it would be a perfect tribute to Trees of Eterity and Aleah, may she rest in peace.

[@ddudioo]

Excellent ! Nice to hear the different accent on the words, and someone even more beautiful than Geddy ! Weird how Rush didn't get so much love in the States, but South America took them in. Great fans for our homies xo

[@rdbittle]

Wonderful rendition of The Pass. Really enjoyed that!

[@Snowdogkh]

As a 45-year Rush fan I will say it's very very very rare I hear a cover I enjoy. This was phenomenal. One of my all-time favorite Rush songs and you did it complete Justice. Love the spin you put on it to make it yours yet you didn't destroy it. Excellent arrangement. Excellent job.... It's hard to pull off ANYTHING from these guys. You nailed it!

[@FleeshOfficial]

Awn!! We have no words to thank you my friend!! ❤❤ very happy you liked!!

[@kaljaadelfiineille]

Beautifully executed solo. The whole song brought tears to my eyes. Neil's passing hit me so damn hard. This is one of his most beautiful lyrics.

[@jojonorris8047]

We called him "The Professor" 💪❤

[@loafersheffield]

Sentimentality and a growing sense of one's own mortality are things that comes with advancing years. I hope that the tears are accompanied by a smile. Mine are.

[@Markmcdelicious]

LOL. Absolutely beautiful!!! Truly great.

[@GregStackTV]

I'm a hardcore Rush devotee since '82. I've heard countless Rush covers, and never heard one worth listening to - until this. What an awesome interpretation of this important song - amazing vocals and instrumental work... just makes me appreciate Rush's songwriting skills all the more. You guys are great and thank you. Hopefully you will help get the message out to even more people.

[@timyself66]

I thought I had commented previously on this video/ cover ... but couldn't see it ... so I will now. Amazing cover of my favorite Rush song! Love it! You captured the feeling of the original but gave it your own sound ... the female lead vocal is excellent also, love your voice (my apologies fot not knowing your name) ... a beautiful rendition of an already beautiful song with a very important and powerful message. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@johnjacobs6159]

One of the best Rush sons in my opinion and a great cover. Thank you for creating this art and for sharing with all of us! so cool.

Beautiful. Rush would be proud of you.

I'm not a fan of covers, but I liked this one a lot. It has the essence of Rush as you made it your own. Great performance guys!

[@dgminner]

Wow

[@dougdavidson3260]

Beautiful music, voice and songstress. "Christ what have you done?" Lyric always gets to me.

IKR? Lord's name in vain or sincere inquiry?

[@stephenwebb921]

I usually don’t like watching people doing Rush covers but your voice and the whole performance was beautiful!!

[@carlajeanmatthews6314]

I always thought that if anyone would attempt to sing any Rush song would screw it up until I heard this. A beautiful female voice to such a beautiful song. I have listened to Rush since 1984. It would be awesome to hear you both play this song with Geddy someday. Thank you for sharing your talent. Keep up the good work!

[@thewizard3282]

This is sublime. I love the original, and I love your version. Very nicely done!

Yes..and we are so so sad.. :(

[@robwalkden1]

Brilliant. I’m sure Neil would have been delighted to hear his words so beautifully sung.

[@metalheadmalta]

Just purchased 'The Next Hemisphere' on the strength of this song... I am totally blown away...

[@Fairlight2cx]

That may actually be better than the Rio, R30, and R40 versions. I actually only ever listened to the original a couple times, and not recently. This was incredible, though! Everything was just *there*! Awesome job!!!

[@philipkennedy8692]

Why can I only give this one like when it deserves so much more.

[@FleeshOfficial]

thank you ❤️

[@stevelevy2845]

Beautiful cover of an emotional song. I'm sure Geddy, Alex and Neil really appreciate the treatment the band gave one of their "better crafted songs."

[@jardsonlima5617]

Thank you for playing Rush with your soul. Brasil loves Rush. Rush in Rio forever.

[@timlamb9428]

incredible version. i got paranoid schizophrenia on top of clinical depression. the break up of my wife after 23 years and being seperated from my children didn't help. i attempted suicide a few times over the last 3-4 years but quite often try to think of my kids especially my angelheart/daughter to push on. sorry for seeming weak but this made me cry.

[@FleeshOfficial]

Hi Tim! How are you? Thank you for your words... I hope you're having a nice day today! Just know that you have 2 friends in here, ok? :) Hope to hear from you soon! xxxx Gabby

[@timlamb9428]

thank you very much. i'm hanging on a bit better than i use to. who am i ? just a middle age guy dealing with life and the bad cards it dealt me. but i'm a survivor and i know i'll be ok. i just have to find worth in myself and think of my kids. thanks for the reply and for the song which imho is better than the original and i mean that. keep doing what you guys are doing. you guys are very talented.

[@timothydukeman7619]

Excellent Band! Great rendition of a beautiful song by the Canadian group Rush. Most bands would NEVER cover Rush as they are too musically tallented and don't need enhancements to improve their musical abilities.

Beautifully done! I cannot believe it's taken me this long to watch this video, I applaud you both.

[@jamieb1342]

Incredible job! Someone finally covered a Rush song and kept their dignity intact. No one can blast you apart on this. You respected the original but made it your own. You're also picking many of my favorite songs from many of my favorite bands too. Do some Steve Wilson or Porcupine Tree and you've hit the trifecta!

[@isaacpulliam7767]

Incredible. Moving. Thank you so much. Keeping Rush alive. This is probably my favorite Rush cover ever.

[@FleeshOfficial]

Happy you liked it!!!

[@ginamarandino6451]

That was the best cover I have heard of the past absolutely fantastic!!! You could seriously make that a single!!

[@333roark333]

"All this machinery making modern music can still be openhearted"...wow. Rush is the only band I've really stuck with into adulthood, I've been following them since Presto. And like many others in the comment section, "The Pass" looms large in my personal story. I remember adolescent death fantasy very well, and how arresting it was to hear a rock band inform me that there would be "no salutes" should I self immolate. Now, with 5 children, and with one of them looking into the void (at 16 years old) and toying with the idea that his life would be somehow important or meaningful if cut off in a glorious tragedy, I find myself mining the message in this song as I try to help him. Yeah, Rush is a rock band, but their songs and albums are a chronicle of thoughtful people growing and evolving...and them sharing their growth and evolution with the world. Thank you, Rush. And thank you, Fleesh, for some terrific covers of this band. I've tried to get my kids to listen to Rush, but it just doesn't take (at least not yet). Your covers might be a way in, who knows. Anyway I bought your album last night.
