Heres a rare Neal Peart interview. He talks about music the way I talk about photography (SOOOO many similarities). He is one of the great observers of life and its reflected in lyrics. Its worth 23 minutes of your time. And a real treat if you are a Rush fan. Here are lyrics to one if his songs that I just love. The words read like a poem to me but sound even better to music. Losing It (by Rush) The dancer slows her frantic pace In pain and desperation Her aching limbs and downcast face Aglow with perspiration Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire With just the briefest pause The flooding through her memory The echoes of old applause She limps across the floor And closes her bedroom door... The writer stare with glassy eyes Defies the empty page His beard is white, his face is lined And streaked with tears of rage Thirty years ago, how the words would flow With passion and precision But now his mind is dark and dulled By sickness and indecision And he stares out the kitchen door Where the sun will rise no more... Some are born to move the world To live their fantasies But most of us just dream about The things wed like to be Sadder still to watch it die Than never to have known it For you, the blind who once could see The bell tolls for thee...
