Rush - Limelight (Retrospective II 1981-87)
Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage.
Cast in this unlikely role
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact.
Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem.
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation,
Get on with the fascination,
The real relation,
The underlying theme.
Living in a fisheye lens,
Caught in the camera eye.
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend.
All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players:
Performers and portrayers,
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage.

| Rush is definitely a more intellectual band with more intellectual music... but, older music also had a lot of raw, pure, real emotion... emotions is good also..
Rush Rules! Rock on!!! |

| One of my favorite Rush songs and favorite of all time. Listen and learn from history. We are making the same mistakes over and over. When will we ever learn. |

| "The one true God did give them incredible talent which for most Rush fans, we are very thankful!!!"
I think they might be a bit pissed you dismiss years of practice and hard work they put in to instead give credit to your imaginary friend. |

| There's Much Music with their genius title abilities again - "Farewell to Kings". Wrong. It's "A Farewell to Kings". |

| July 1977 at Rockfield Studios in Wales after their first tour dates in England, went to the show at Newcastle City Hall and have been a fan ever since, still got the tour programme somewhere in my collection of odds and sods. So sorry but you are wrong 07hottie0!!!!!! |

| another great things is that a song you may not seem to like will become one of your favorites. Like now, I hardly listen to Tom Sawyer but prefer Red Barchetta and I do like The Trees and Xanadu |
