  • Even though im only 21 i love rush.... My dad has been listening to it since he was a child.. And when i was a kid and i couldnt sleep he would put it on and i would get calm and fall asleep... even to this day rush still makes me feel safe

  • This is excellent. Great video.

  • Thank you for making this video. I choke up up every time I watch it. Very moving....

  • Came here looking for a live performance of this song, and found this video. WOW!

    I've always considered this song a powerful statement on its own, but adding the Band of Brothers footage to it just takes it to a whole other level... Bravo EdisKrad, well done mate.

  • Love the video, but the fading gets annoying. Rush rocks, big time.

  • This video is great!! This video is very powerful!! 

  • I'm almost speechless! This is one of the most powerful vids I've ever seen, and it ought to be mandatory somewhere within our school system. I applaud the hell out of you for constucting this!

  • I was actually looking for red army in band of brothers. Is it just a simple fact that we didn't give them much credit for WWII? We seemingly humanized the Nazis more than them. I know we had the cold war with them shortly afterwards, but come on!

  • This video is an eye-opener, and it makes me angry. Why? Beause we allowed the Holocaust to happen. Why? Because we're human. That's what shits me.

    Humanity wears a huge stain. We make the same mistakes over and over again.

    I'd have given anything to help those poor, suffering people of Eastern Europe. Those were our brothers and sisters and we neglected them?!

    Why?

  • @humansare666

    I don't know how old you are. I'm 40 and as such, I have been witness to similar acts of barbary in my lifetime in Yougslavia and Rwanda...

  • wow, this should be the official video for this song....

  • I hate and love you for what you have done, two of Rush's members families survived this, sorta hence the song. I cry every time I watch this. separately they are powerful and together you have created a masterpiece of your own. Thank you for the time and effort, their memories ( not talking about Rush ) may last longer thanks too you!

  • there are people that hail cant burn hot enough for

  • i too am only 40...i feel the same way

  • i dont usually comment, but i havent heard this song in so long i looked it up...and this one made me cry...incredible

  • I only watched the first 3 episodes, and i gotta say i don't like it. the only good things I can say is its imagery, scenery and acting, but the story sucks, character development sucks, you feel a lack of orientation to whats going on with the rest of the war, too much and overblown fighting and suffering/acting, and too unrealistic most of the time.

  • Wow! Just Wow! Very powerful combination. Well done!

  • Do it, rent it now. Incredible mini-series. Probably one of the best war-related films ever on the small screen.

  • And to be truthful, I never associated this song with the Holocaust. I always thought it more futuristic, but I applaud this video, it reminds us of what could be...

  • @n2meec this song is about the Holocaust. Its about Geddy Lee( the singers) mom during the Holocaust.

  • @EvenFlowGaming welll that's the beauty of music... we can all interprete as we see fit... while don't get me wrong, I do associate this with the Holocaust... I also see the unfortunate future in this too....

  • This music video makes me want to rent or find somehow 'Band of Brothers'. Some would try to say the Holocaust never happened. I shudder to think that history will be lost if more who suffered this atrocity do not tell their story. In the movie 'Schindlers List' he conveyed that he felt he failed, because he could not get more lives out and freed. Please, I urge all of you who watch this to google this and learn what history is trying to teach us. Let peace prevail!!!

  • so is this song about the holocaust then?

  • "Shut up you nazi fuck!"

  • I cant stop watching this. Rush can create a mood like no other band in the world. The images are powerful, and the music fits them perfectly. With Geddy's parents being Holocaust survivors, I can only imagine the emotions that would be invoked if he were to see this. The world must never let this kind of thing happen again.

  • Minha mae esteve nos campos de concentração.....eu ja vi as lagrimas dela de recordação desta maldita guerra.

  • RUSH!!! A cult band which I"m a proud member there of... Rock on RUSH

  • geddy lee's parents were in a german concentration camp in ww2.

  • my favorite band playing to my favorite miniseries.thank you sir for posting this.

  • FANTASTIC, WELL DONE!!!!!!!!

  • Needs more cowbell, I mean bass.

  • In real life, the jews did not react like that when the troops arrived, but one can understand their behaviours. << First hand from one who fought D Day plus.

  • @BritishSnail really? if you dont mind me asking, how did they react?

  • @ipvideogames Well they had to be locked up again you see, so that they didn't kill themselves over eating. They were a tad p'd off, which is understandable and I guess they'd been through hell waiting for rescue. My friend is very ill in hospital at the moment, possibly dying. When I see him today, I'll ask for a memory refresh for you. Prayers for 'Syd'. are appreciated right now thanks and as always ~God bless you~ Anne

  • @BritishSnail i think later in this episode the over-eating problem is in a scene

  • @aloefgren Oh is it. That's good. ~God bless~

  • @aloefgren And we appear to be fighting nazis still/yet again, though it hasn't got this bad... yet.

  • fantastic video wat film does it come from

  • @06mirrors Read the video description n00b

  • this video really adds depth to this song..........great song great video, thanks for posting

  • what movie is this from?

  • @reedchasekickass

    Reading: It helps everything.

  • from "Band of Brothers", the miniserie. Episode 9 - "Why We Fight".

  • 2.47-3.04.....why are we not seeing that kind of thankful emotion more from people like Afghani's where our soldiers are trying to make a better country? Why do we have so many in our society today who think our soldiers are fighting a made uo myth called "islamo terrorism"? Why do I sometimes think myself our soldiers have died for freedom of a people so much different than those in WW2/Europe?..a people(muslims) who do not line the Highway of Heros when one of our dead soldiers is brought home

  • lol my LA teacher played this song to our class today. twice. it was kick ass!

  • nice video! band of brothers kicks ass.... Rush kicks ass... Red Sector A kicks ass... the three together... FUCKING AMAZING!

  • @rocker4u123

    You realize the Nazis lost the war, right? Hitler is dead. Naziism is dead.

    and oh yeah,I almost forgot... the IDF is the strongest army in the modern world

    Happy D-Day. You Fascists are BOUND TO LOSE

  • Easily one of the best videos on youtube...

    Beautiful song, great band, perfect imagery!

  • I'm 40 years old, but I would use every last breath I had today to fight for these people.

  • @bresnen2112 yeah no shit,this is hard to watch and imajine what they went through----but there`s some childesh ass that deems it as nothing. look at the top

  • If I am interpreting this right, it is about Nazi extermination camps, right?

  • Man this is amazing, great work....very emotional.

  • For all of the great albums Rush has put out, Grace Under Pressure is my all-time favorite. Dark, gloomy, synth-heavy and without any radio-ready hits, non-the-less, I consider it to be their most utterly solid release - not a dud in the bunch. I played the shit out of this album in the 80's as a teen and still consider it today to be one of the very few flawless albums I have ever heard. Thank you, Rush, for putting out an album that I not only consider perfect, but got me thru some tough times

  • @MileyHatesJewsToo Racist bastard.

  • this truly is a great job well done :D

  • This song mixed with this song is a perfect fit

  • Nicely done.

  • For the record, if somebody wants to know more from the subject, i strongly recomend the Russian film " idi i smotri" (" come and see"). Very good films who captured the essence of the nazi ocupation over Soviet territories.

  • Ok. But Don´t forget that germans killed 20 millons Rusians which most were civilians. Hitler considered slavs like"untermenschen" or "subhumans". It a shame that most of the people only remember the jewish holocaust and forget the unhuman treatment that germans gave to russians , ucranians, and people of belarus. That was a genocide too!

  • im not saying what happened in ww2 was right, but stop hating on the nazis some of them didnt like what they had to do, some tried to stop hitler, it was his own nazi party that tried to assassinate him so many times.

  • This is just amazing.

  • mint vid man keep em comin

  • my mothers grand parents was taken by the nazists and they survived. Thats why im here.

    THUMBS UP FOR ALL SURVIVORS OF THE WW2!

    And All Nazists can go fuck themself....

  • This is the most powerful video I've seen on You Tube.

  • great well done but band of brothers shows it better this is all video from that not taking from the great work here one of my favorite songs

  • OMG, This is one of the finest pieces of video I have seen in a long time. Congratulations, great job. And to those who served in WWII my eternal admiration, respect and gratitude.

  • i wept like a little child looking at this video ..... what a marvelous pice of music accompanied with a beautiful video ..... if this video doesn't touch you then maybe you aren't human ... and no I am not jewish

  • Fantastic editing, amazing job

  • thanks kka = )

  • Thank you for making this.

  • Cracking video, second only to the Henrik Larsson is Rocky video in youtube world!

  • Freakin awesome job dude. Great show and a super bad-ass song and band wrapped together perfectly.

    Kudos to you brother

  • just finished watching Pacific this video is perfect in crontrast

  • Fantastically done.

  • Great. Rush rocks. Band of brothers too.

  • right on the money ! Great editing!!!

  • this is he ability that we all have to make a diffrence.

  • This song is so emotional, and the video fits it PERFECTLY.

  • @AdolfHitlersHenchman may god have mercy on your soul because the devil won`t why don`t you do the world a favor and shoot yourself and rejoin hitler in hell

  • BEST FUCKING SONG EVER

  • check into a movie called ..out of the ashes.. produced by showtime i think. Reminds me of this song.

  • WOW! This is exactly how I pictured a video for this song.

  • Well Done !

  • I dont need the facts, to understand that believes or not... no man should die like this... the Germans DID KNOW, and a group of them died to stop it... HONOR knows no Country, Religion or Culture.. Sad part is that people still die like this, different places, same image ... what will WE do?

    "Are we the left ones left alive? Are we THE ONLY human beings to Survive...?"

    Nuff Said

  • If you didn't get misty eyed......YOU HAVE NO HEART OR SOUL......As I said a while ago.....AWESOME SONG.....AWESOME EDITING....It fits PERFECT!!!!!!

  • yeah.That scene at around 2:40 gets me every time.And I've had to have watched this a hundred times.

  • @FoulOwl I'll bet you've watched it a hundred times.... wacking off with a beer in one hand, your little pecker in the other. Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @CoIoradoMikeyS I'm guessing you were pretty proud of yourself with that remark. Idiot.

  • Fucking powerful

  • Recently finished watching this series again on DVD.

    It's hard to watch this episode (why we fight) with a dry eye.

    Can't wait to see episode 1 of the new 'The Pacific' series starting tonight on HBO from the creators of Band of Brothers. Looks like it will be a good series also.

    I metioned this early in these comments EdisKrad73, but you did a great job of editing this video and chose a fantastic song, from the best band in the world! - IMHO of course ;)

  • Rush rules all....

  • Nice song, Awesome video.... great job man!!!

  • Weird, as I was watching this episode I was thinking of this song.

  • Even Rush would think this is a great video for this song

  • maybe someday one of them will see it! =]

  • @EdisKrad73

    Maybe one of them already has.

  • @EdisKrad73 they will

  • @EdisKrad73 I bet they have. DAMN this is powerful!

  • @Dthorn912 what the fuck does that mean? how old are you ?

  • @Dthorn912 i`m sorry i took your comment the wrong way------i thought it was negative-------sorry big time for my postings...........

  • @Dthorn912 dude thsi isnt just for the song this song was dedicate to the holocaust i learned in my geography class im just sayin that it isnt for the song it was written for the holocaust

  • @richiehernandez59 i know what the song is about and all I said was that Rush would think this video is a great match to the song because the way it breaks in the middle just fits and seems like a "Rush" thing to do.

  • @Dthorn912 It's too bad their website oesn't allow uploads! This is poignant!

  • I do not believe for a minute, that the civilian population in the town of Landsberg or of any town that was close to concentration camps had no idea what was going on. They said they had no idea, just to be saved from the rage of the American and Russian soldiers, and because of the Nuremberg trials, but THEY KNEW.

  • Vampiro, Even if they did KNOW what was going on how were they to stop it? The SS would have slaughtered them you either supported the government or died period that was the situation those citizens were in. Don't speak of something you know nothing about in America we have always had the freedom to speak out against the government, many countries do not have that freedom.

  • I know, believe me. I was born and raised in Italy, which was born a free nation and it's very free now, but when Mussolini took over with the use of force (he wasnt elected popularly like Hitler), many Italians rebelled any way they could: as soon as he started enforcing the "Racial Laws" against non-white and Jewish residents in Italy, obviously also thanks to the allied help, Italians were the ones who took care of their dictator. Italian Resistance found him and hung him upside down.

  • No one will sleep till the sun never rises on the British Empire.

  • Comment removed

  • my grandfather was airborne before anybody knew that unit. they went through Germany and chased those cowards. NAZI's only had power when they were the mob, when it began to crumble they ran. COWARDS, no conviction just sheep...... " I stand in no judgment of any mans religion" JOHN ADAMS 2nd president of the USA

  • That is factually incorrect. The nazis never ran.

    As much as I hate them, for what they did to Europe (I have family members who were detained at Mathausen), the nazis never ran.

    They did fight, until the very end.

  • Great song, goes amazingly well with the video.

  • I had a couple of great uncles on my dad's side fight in WWII. I don't know if they were part of any platoon or battalion that liberated any concentration camp, but I'm glad, honored, and proud that they, my great uncles, served during WWII. They as well as every single person who has ever served this great country proudly and with honor has my eternal respect, gratitude, and love.

    To those who served, to those who are serving now, and to those who will serve in the future, thank you.

  • Geddy's jewish, there must be a good storey behind the writing of this one. Suck it Hitler, Rush says so!

  • His parents were both Holocaust survivors.

  • @ihavequadrophenia WWII had to be stopped. great honor to them all... but every way today is just plain bullshit, and usa just makes it worse at most sites. look at wikileaks movies, i throw up.

  • @ihavequadrophenia I lost my Grandfather, before I was born, to WW2, so this vid really means something to me.

  • Interesting thoughts, but I;m not sure there is enough Justice in the universe to save those lost souls from the Hell they endured? I guess not hating is all that works....

  • very sad song, but aesome editing! this song with the vid really hits me deep.

  • wow i wanna take hitler and beat the shit outta him... cut his fingers off... cut his lips off and staple them to his ass... then ill piss on his face and put his hand in acid... then ill fucking shot his body with a 100 magnum shots at the same time..

  • You would no better than he. We must meet hatred with love, and cruelty with mercy. It is in this way that we will prove ourselves better men. It is in this way we achieve victory.

  • I guess so. Becoming better than him and not going down to his level should be enough torture for him and his followers.

  • You know... lf we'd have been merciful to the nazis during World War 2, this would've continued and more people would've suffered and died.

    The Russians showed no mercy when they torched half of Germany, and that's part of the reason we won. We need to fight, kill and destroy those who want to kill us and commit acts of genocide. ln a war like that, you show absolutely no mercy.

    ln war, you're a soldier without a soul. You were born to kill and be killed defending what you believe in.

  • You sound like a real soldier. Be careful though this thoughts will reach peoples minds more carelessly and strongly that it could probably change them for ever. I like how you talk tho.

  • He took his own life when he saw about a million angry soviets burning down Berlin. Although l don't think what he did could be justified, he was a genius at war. He invented and perfected the blitzkrieg, and even managed to conquer France in a record of 20 minutes.

    Things like genocide are terrible but also apart of human nature. lt's just something that we need to prevent as much as possible.

  • i do believe he was a war genius... not just that but he had a lot of last resorts of a bunch of categories... he even knew his own people were trying to kill him. If he said that he would've been an untrustful leader. Plus he lead germany without even being born there i tho that was incredible. If he had used his power for defense and not crazy over-the-world thoughts he'd be recognized as a genius of war and one of the greatest chancellors ever. .... but he failed -.-'

  • He was insane. Germany had just recovered from their loss in World War 1 and he decided to go on a path of conquest instead of doing what was right for his people..

    He could've done great things and led his people to peace and glory. lnstead he decided to go to war with the world and kill millions of innocent people.

    And yeah, for a foreigner to become the leader of Germany is pretty amazing. He could've done great things.

  • Damn,why dont you tell us how you really feel?..lol.Right on!Its hard to look at this and not feel that way.

  • wait which episode is this one?

  • I remember seeing this episode when it came out. It was hard to watch then, but with RSA playing its even harder... Its impossible to believe that Human Beings can do this to each other. The best part of this episode was watching the german citizens work in the camp and have to acknowledge it. Not sure why I felt good about that.

  • muy buen video y la musica i que decirlo y pensar que los anuelos estubeiron hay

    joder

    felipe galleguillos devoto

  • great post rush and band of brothers.thanks for great combo.

  • The scene at 3:12 was amazing.

  • isnt this clip from band of brothers?

  • @vtech50 read the side note.

  • Sad video... Who are the soldier and who are the others one?

  • The Soldiers are American Soldiers, the prisoners are Jewish. Remember the Holocaust?

  • Of course! Yea, I posted this comments, 2 second later I saw Holocaust... But, americans soldiers? And Holocaust is the thing the most ever happened.

  • it is referencing the holocaust, since geddy lee's parents were holocaust survivors. In fact his mom was in auchwitz and his father was in bergen belsen. he said in an article thati read that he used to listen to his mother talk about how she gave up on humanity while she was in the camps.

  • that is all true i love this song and i put alot off time researching the holocost cause of it and the point of view his mother had

  • Isaiah 25:8 He will swallow up death for all time, And the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces, And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken.

  • i meant to "thumbs up" your comment but accidently thumbs down. srry and bless you

  • i thumbs'ed up for you :)

  • Powerhouse piece of work. Something straight from Geddy's heart as he is from a long line of Polish Jews. His real name is 'Gary', but his grandmother's heavy Polish accent made it sound like she was calling him 'Geddy'. Rush is the most highly skilled 3 piece band in the world. They simply can "put it all together". From the hard rocker to the surrealism seeker to the lyrically driven psychological tripmaster they can play to all of them. No one compares with Rush, period.

  • here here!

  • I never heard it put quite that way.But, yeah.Not quite sure where I fit into that list of Rush lovers.But,yeah \ (-.o) *

  • Guess I put it in a way that is fitting a group who is wayyy ahead lyrically and in vocabulary than any other musical ensemble in existence. Neil Peart is their most active writer and his level of intelligence with the english language is simply unsurpassed by any other song writer of the last 40 years.

  • Damn.Okay man.Just a little dry humor. Tryin' to get along.

    I agree already.

    Lightenup.

  • Fuck. YOU relax. It's just the way I speak. Since I figured you enjoyed the comment I attempted to add a little more to it. So you agree. Here's a fucking hero biscuit. NOW you can tell me to lighten up, Otherwise don't make self-assuming comebacks to people which you have no clue to how they think and write. It's called high functioning autism and I apologize to no one for it.

  • neil peart is there only writter.he writes the lyics and geddy and alex write the music.been that way since they met neil all the albums give lyrical credit to him,and musical credits to alex and geddy.peace,rush rules

  • Great song from a great album. Rush really know how to put out top records. I've got Grace Under Pressure on LP only. I should get off my arse and buy the CD. This clip is quite outstanding. Listening to the LP, I never grasped that this song alluded to the Holocaust. The song now has much more resonance because of this film clip. And it makes me sad...

  • this LP is really INCREDIBLE....

    I don't know which song to choose from it...

    thanx for the video!

  • Nobody deserves to be treated like that. Great video, it is intense.

  • You're right, sir. Nobody deserves to be treated like that.

  • What a great video, I just saw it now for the first time. Also a great Rush song. BRAVO!

  • Thanks this video is Great worka *****

  • Always been one of my favourite songs, great work with the video.

  • Me and my father used to watch these he served in WW2. This episode specifically reminded him of the war. He was on what he refered to as Clean up duty. Helping those left in concentration camps and burying the dead. Sad people can come to this kind of horror. EdisKrad73 Great Video.

  • This makes me think what a war can turn into. Great video though!

  • very poignant too because Geddy Lee's parents were survivors of the Holocaust

  • thank you for this.....very well done

  • Great video, Really sad though D=

  • I would like to see what the guys from Rush would say about this video? Powerful stuff and definitely fits the music...perfect.

  • Sad video... =(

  • great song, great band, sad video

  • Easy Company ftw!

    (rush ftw too!)

  • Great Video... for a great song

  • this video makes me think alot...

    PLUS RUSH IS GODLY.

  • played this during the Stnaley Cup playoffs when the Bruins were down 3 games to Montreal in a 3-0 series lol

    Great comeback song

  • & like most of the jews, Boston didnt survive sucked : (

  • amazing tribute to holocaust by rush and you. great fucking great.
