There is not one single band that exists today on any plane of existense that can move me the way the Rush does.Rush has been a part of my life since I first heard Subdivisions for the first time when I was 13 and the song was already 6 years old. To this very moment as I listen to Lock and Key from Hold Your Fire as the cd goes to the next track The Mission, Rush has illuminated every step of my way as my personal soundtrack.Within this song, there literally are no other words that a man could express about a woman and the awkwardness and uncertainties that come from a relationship as Neil so clearly states, yet "the pattern of moonlight on the bedroom floor" and "the look in your eyes as you head for the door" could'nt speak louder and with more truth.It's hard enough sometimes to speak the word and emotions that one feels to one person let alone write lyrics that reach out to masses of faithful and more importantly touch them and make them understand. I thank God for the gift of the music of Rush,not only as a crazed fan, but just as someone who can appreciate and reflect on such a wide variety of sounds,visions and images, not only through musical changes but personal changes. Also to know that I can listen to any given Rush cd and it will instantly warp me back to a time when things were....

You said it brother, I feel the same way. I am glad to see so many people are with us on this.

My first Rush album was 2112 in 1976, and have been on the ride ever since, and to the very end!
