These include exercising freewill for growth, appreciating what we have, and enjoying our connections with one another. Many of his songs contain insights and wisdom that are intended to help us realize what is precious in life. I, along with millions of others, have been positively influenced by Rush’s music and Peart’s lyrics. In that regard, his music was a resounding success. Peart once said that the greatest accomplishment an artist can achieve is to inspire others in positive ways. For so many of us who discovered Rush during our formative years as teens, Rush’s songs both inspired and challenged us when we needed it most. His songs covered a range of topics including science fiction, fantasy, literature, philosophy, politics, religion, and existential questions. If you’ve listened to some Rush songs, such as “ Tom Sawyer,” “Limelight,” “The Trees,” “ Subdivisions,” “Freewill,” and “The Spirit of Radio,” you can tell that Peart was exceptionally bright, a voracious reader, and a deep thinker.
Considered one of rock and roll’s greatest drummers, Peart’s extraordinary drumming was only rivaled by his genius as a lyricist. Peart recently died at the age of 67 after a three-and-a-half-year battle with brain cancer. It is with a very heavy heart that I write this post to honor the passing of the great Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist for the band Rush.
