I still can't believe it... It is impossible... My drum and lyrics guru is dead😥😥😥I cry and I'm in mourning😪😪😪Condolence for the family, friends and all fans of Rush😓😓😓R.I.P Neil... My Brother🧡🧡🧡

Such a sad beautiful song. I tear up because of my ignorance in my younger years. I learned the price of my phobia oh too late. But at least I learned and changed my heart

"When I heard that he was gone, I felt a shadow cross my heart..." RIP Neil

"Hero is the voice of reason against the howling mob, hero is the pride of purpose in the unrewarding job." Those lyrics are among my favorite in any song ever written.

This song is about us, everyday normal people, 99.9% of the population who will never be remembered by history.

How can Rush affect me so deeply? Since I was a kid, I have listened to this band. Words just cannot describe how important all of this music is to me.

Neil Peart has passed away today.Just had to listen to this song. What sad lyrics! He was my HERO

In Martin Popoff's Rush: Album by Album, Chris Irwin said, "Yes, there's the reference to the Paul Bernardo murders. Kristian French was one of Paul Bernardo's victims, and she was the stepsister of Brad French, who is Neil's lifelong best friend. And that's why I didn't know the girl, but I knew her family. And I think, in fact, Brad and Neil are second cousins. And it's a complicated point, but I think he's saying just because somebody is a victim, don't glorify that. You should basically think about the person that they were, rather than the fate that befell them. And then elsewhere, Neil's getting across the idea that a proper hero is somebody who does a great thing like lands a crippled airplane or solves a mystery or cures a disease, that sort of thing, rather than sports stars or movie stars."

Imagine, this song is 27 years old!!! Sounds better than anything on the radio today....

Rush. Best band EVER. Period.

Farewell Niel. You were everyone's hero...❤️

safe to say, Neil was everybody's hero 💙

The message of this song lifted me in my darkest moment...and I’m still here nearly 30 years later. Neil is my fucking hero. RIP.

man i miss rush. i know there is 40 years of music..but they are no more and that hurts

A band whose music actually has meaning and purpose. RIP professor and thanks for 40 plus years of music.

A masterpiece!! Neil's lyrics here are so profound it hurts.

My Top five Band,s 1.Rush 2. Rush 3.Rush. 4. Rush. 5. Rush

One of Rush, and Neil's greatest songs. Geddy sings it well here. The voice of reason against the howling mob.

So many people - doctors, nurses, care workers, etc - risking their lives to care for us: HEROES!!

Thanks God, because Rush is a flash of light in the darkness of this world...
