I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels Steer the airship right across the stars I learned to fight, I learned to love, I learned to feel Oh I wish that I could live it all again All the treasures, the gold, and glory It didn't always feel that way… We remember…🌹🙏💔 #RushFamily

Keyboard era this Keyboard era that. Pfft. The 80’s was Lerxst in his peak creative era. Why you no talk about this solo? 🔥 I’d pit his 80’s solos against any other part of his Lerxstgacy. Digital Man, Between The Wheels, Open Secrets can also be admitted as evidence Good day all #RushFamily

It’s a simply stunning song. And a perfect example of Neil’s examinations of human relationships. There’s a time and a place for the 70’s fantasy stuff but it’s no coincidence my real love for Rush coincides with his lyrical switch to more human matters. A true genius 💔

Maybe the best gig night of my life. Other than the rehearsal show before the tour (lucky me!) I’ve never been closer to a band playing my favourite music at their peak. Just…epic

Never know who you’ll bump into on a balmy spring evening. Two more gracious and engaging musicians you could never meet. Had the chats, bought them their half a Guinness and left them too it. It’s been a day 😀

I have zero problem with SW reimagining and reinventing the music of his own musical heroes. Would be strange if he didn’t. Article says ‘pastiche’ but I think that’s ungenerous. His creativity stands on its own merits not the shoulders of what’s gone before. I think.

Preparation for the upcoming Progtastic @StevenWilsonHQ album. Tbh I was loving the direction and diversity of his later albums, but if SW wants to give us another Proggy record, who am I to moan. That AI Christmas song can fuck off though. Good day all #NowPlaying

My uncle's at the chopping block Turning chickens into fountains I'm a barefoot child, watching in the rain That stepped into this song Taken a bow and stepped right out again I'm sitting on the balcony Listening to Sinead O'Connor with a pencil and a plan Tuesday still fresh in the mind
