Rush - Closer To The Heart

[c0rnp0p5]

Oh so many people are mad bro because they can't have Geddy's voice.

[willclark22]

Damn that woman singing is fucking hideous. Are all Canadian women this fugly?

[0001Virus1000]

@willclark22 lol?

[boldfilter]

@ezakustam I wanted to post this video to my Facebook, and didn't because of that. It's very confusing why they did that, although I know they weren't communist and I hope that North Korean bastard burns in hell.

[ezakustam]

@boldfilter I very rarely go back and reply to ancient comments like this, but I'd be completely remiss if I didn't mention that Rush was always pretty obviously anti-Communism (or at least anti-mindless collectivism and conformity). The Starman icon that they're most associated with is a symbol of that stance: "All (the naked man) means is the abstract man against the masses. The red star symbolizes any collectivist mentality." -Neil Peart

[Sue71]

It's hard to believe there's only 3 guys making this gigantic music!

[BonJoviFan96]

geddy lee is truely a good singer

[toodrunk2dream]

when alex lifeson tells you to put a shirt on you put the fuckin' thing on

[jebaman42]

35 people are downies

[mysticalbaby02]

I have been listening to Rush since they first came out, and I am an american, I have always listened to their music.

[ricotita2008]

19 years ago a super cute American guy dedicated this song to me in Buenos Aires.... He wanted to married me but I was very young... I always remember of him with a warm heart!! Thank you Dave!!!!!

[mchlmclean6]

Americans don't know music.. they know shit.. just like they don't know hockey.. Canada Is better in everything, hell all the states know is how to wine

[MrKeithk317]

@mchlmclean6 Don't blame America for Justin Beiber, ok?

[cudaj2]

@mchlmclean6 Yeah we don't know music, that's how we invented a little genre called rock n roll, something that every other country copies.

[ty2569]

words cant describe how amazing these guys are...canadian pride

[SuperKopstar]

Timeless Y+Thanks very much for posting

[163388416]

The last six seconds give me goosebumps every time

[MrSirDel]

Another of Canada's national treasures (Green with Envy)...There is no one quite like RUSH...Been listening to them for *&^%$ years (Give's my age awayLOL)

[deep8386]

Thank God for this band.

[bigphil088]

YES!

[Ragingsinep]

friend: the singers voice sucks so much!

me: *kicks friends ass* what did you say?

friend: the singers voice is great...

me: thats right

[jablonsky67]

I would say this is the anthem for the Occupy Movement, but it seems the average man must be the one who starts. Love Rush Permanently.

[shanehenning26]

great song

[mikey39977]

youre retarded if you dont think psychedelics dont raise your being and consciousness. kids should be forced to take acid once at 15 lol

[MrROTD]

love the bass groovy as shit and melodic

[DrQuadmaster4000]

@MrROTD Geddy's easily one of the best, nuff said

[ShjonThomas]

CLOSER TO THE HEAAAAAAAAAAAAART! YEA!

[mountainman15]

if theres a better intro to a song......nope

[Alexy597]

A ca da Faixa uma aula de musica....

[skinterz]

Breathtaking.

[H3r3Com3sTh3Sun]

I wish they would still dress like this : /

[macarthur19]

Neil Peart= The most precise drummer in history. He's gotta be.

[bongeye420]

@macarthur19 thats a bold bold claim, not sure if i agree but he's got the fucking sound tactics of a beast for sure

[billgeezeriommi]

i like triumph 

[aknowneemus]

Ugly or not, Getty got more pussy than any of us could ever dream of.

[superslayerguy]

@aknowneemus true but go watch the documentry, that wasnt really their thing

[deep8386]

@superslayerguy What's the name of the documentary?

[superslayerguy]

@deep8386 beyond the lighted stage

[hitopsful]

@aknowneemus actually he didnt, they were all maried at a young age and had values, and didnt bang groupies, but indulged in things like reading and writing philosophical lyrics

[Bob67755]

@hitopsful he songs are all bout tellin da truth and honesty, what powerful music

[Tinaerwinboy]

@aknowneemus He was married then !! Prolly from his wife or if he cheated a lot then yes But you know that girls offered it to him a lot !!

[aknowneemus]

geddy has the strangest but best voice in rock!

[deependlive]

Happy Birthday , Alex !

[jessicadunaway51]

@starzscream614 i think they're the best band in the WORLD!!! :)

[MrHeatgap]

FUCKIN GEDDY! FUCKIN LIFESON! FUCKIN PERT!

[billgeezeriommi]

@MrHeatgap you spelled peart wrong

[Rob07601]

@billgeezeriommi

Maybe he's referring to the shampoo, with all that long hair, you need a good conditioner.

=-)

[MrRoostyr]

People give Geddy way too much shit for his voice. He sings better than most frontmen. He just has a high pitch voice. I still love you Geddy.

[Scorpio7311]

The great thing about Rush is that none of them are goodlooking. There is none of that sleazy crap of groupies throwing themselves at them.They have built their enormous appeal on muscianship pure and simple.

[crazypenny94]

35 people are father to the heart

[sonjapm]

Rush!!! is awesome



[leatherfacefan1974]

Dont rip on Canada because the gave birth to that monstrosity jb. Love Canada because the made Rush. =D

[KyleRulebreaker]

I fucking love this song!!

[ladybluluv]

Always was my favorite Rush song.

[MrDJjiggs]

@JOeBrusier ... Canada rules dude... and RUSH is one of the best that came out of Canada... sorry but where u come from .. do u suck balls? 

[tgers1]

[Znafuseta]

Carlinhos Altamente!!

[J0eBruiser]

[astrophysics123]

[rockergirl867]

Rush = Best band ever!

[youngmick2]

Belter 12",Micky Young.

[Grunge00125]

Why are like half their early music videos live videos with the studio version played over it? Seems like they could've come up with better video dieas...js

[PaperLuna]

" Happy 58th Birthday, Geddy Lee Weinrib. "

[MALCBAGGIE]

Not one of the greatest Rush songs ever- one of the greatest songs EVER.

[spezza178]

did i see bubbles and jullian LoL (: GREAT SONG DER BUDDY KEEP ER GOIN!!!

[eye81didU]

best band period

[stubs96]

@eye81didU I love them too, it's too bad that he's grown older and can't sing like he used to. It's kind of like Roger Daltrey of the WHO, they were great in their prime, but sort of lost it. I still love them and they are the best band.

[starzscream614]

the best band to come out of canada

[SwingwenuSwagga]

@starzscream614 April Wine!

[BananaJSSI]

@SwingwenuSwagga April Wine Rocks!

[BananaJSSI]

@starzscream614 Rush is awesome and so is Triumph

[hargolegend4]

@starzscream614 the onlyt good thing Canada has produced, along with Jim Carrey

[StickHits]

@starzscream614 *earth

[shanehenning26]

[infearandfaiith]

the beginning of this video was trippin me the fuck out

[ianblanton20002002]

this is band is so awesome and the drummer cool as shit Neill Pert is one of my all time favorite drummers in history thats no joke this needs to be on classic rock and Hard Rock radio

[v1nc3nzo87]

i swear, at 0:06 thats Bubbles and Julian from TPB ...is it?

[c1h2a3d4b5e6e7m8a9n]

@v1nc3nzo87 no, you are not a fan

[v1nc3nzo87]

@c1h2a3d4b5e6e7m8a9n just cause someone looks like somebody, that doesnt make me a fan? Rush is my biggest influence on drums so dont tell me that im not a fan

[c1h2a3d4b5e6e7m8a9n]

@v1nc3nzo87 yes thats exactly what im saying lol, sarcasm isnt the easiest thing to pick up on youtube

[TheReighnart]

Seeing them on Saturday... Last show of the tour.... So glad I'm gonna see them at least once in my life.

[apmgr251]

f--king amazing band....RUSH...YEAH

[neurotek44]

rush rox

[bearmare]

I didn't know Doug Henning was in Rush. Cool!

[HereNateLives]

first band i ever saw live amazing!!!!!!!!

[shanehenning26]

great song

[Renegade3988]

this is the song that brings me back to the best of RuSh in the 80:s

[jrmendoz11]

just saw Rush Thursday night and still in feeling shocked

[DERAG0TH]

Excellent stuff.

[Michaelslayer1]

all time classic!

[thebigcheez2001]

just saw them last night they r still amazing

[818Dante]

i wanna see them play at the gibson so bad i cant afford it though shit!!!

[jason423234]

is it just me or if you didnt know the lead singer of rush was a man you would think he was a chick

[CAPTAINSARGE]

@jason423234

Dude , when I was young they used to play Rush on a 2 hr heavy metal slot on a radio station in ireland.

I never knew until years late that the lead singer actually was a man!!!!

[METALVIXXEN]

@CAPTAINSARGE lol funny!

[TheBrokenChef]

@CAPTAINSARGE ROFL are you fucking kidding me mate, any one that damn ugly could NOT be a woman. Even some woman have some kind of beauty. But you know what they say, ass ugly people if you have a great voice and are in a band, even that person can get laid.

[CAPTAINSARGE]

@TheBrokenChef

I never knew what he/she looked like because I just heard them on the radio and stuff but never saw pictures of the band just there band name on magazines ans shit but not actually their image

[TOSportsFan1990]

@CAPTAINSARGE I'm pretty sure 9 out of 10 people think the singer is a woman, but as they say, Geddy Lee doesn't sing like a woman, women sing like Geddy Lee

[Kruegerisgod]

could listen to this all day

[abcman7913]

You have no idea what i would give to live during this time :/

[MRHUEYLOUIE]

I need to correct somthing I posted.The priciple orgin of the phrase may have come from a Persian poet named Omar Khayyam hundreds of years ago, and it read like this "re mold it nearer to the hearts desire"..The word desire was probably lopped off because it didn't rhyme in the song. If you want to get a better understanding of where the influence for the lyrics for this song MAY have come from..Google" THE FABIAN SOCIALISTS WINDOW"..Read the articles, look at the stained glass window.

[MRHUEYLOUIE]

I will go ahead and explain my posting a bit further because I know its going to trip people out. The phrase "Forge a new reality closer to the heart " was basicly coined by George Bernard Shaw more less about a hundred years or so ago. While seemingly inocent and even positive in the context of this song, his intentoins were not , he wanted to heat up the world " FORGE " the idea is to heat up the world by causing caos unrest, disorder, anarchy, and then re shape it into elitest facism.

[tcavester]

@MRHUEYLOUIE

uhhh..wat. I'm pretty sure that's not what Neil intended when he wrote this.

[deathbot290]

@tcavester even if it isnt who cares he made a fuckin genius observation

[bcromer42]

@MRHUEYLOUIE I like the way you have written your post so that even the I-D-10-T's who get on this website can understand what you are saying. Nice work. I am going to see RUSH Wednesday night, I can't wait.

[MRHUEYLOUIE]

Great band, great song.........but I think the lyrics may be based on somthing called fabian socialism wich is a movement started in the late 1800s by a man named George Bernard Shaw, who was a man that basicly thought that people should have to justify their exsistance to a government panel, and if they couldn't justify their existance then they should be eliminated, just one of his many tyranical socialist ideas. { GEORGE BERNARD SHAW< AND FABIAN SOCIALIST } look it up, but I could wrong.

[SHINOBIPANDA420]

THUMS UP THIS VIDEO SO EVERY1 CAN SEE THE Lyrics--- And the men who hold high places Must be the ones who start To mold a new reality Closer to the heart Closer to the heart The blacksmith and the artist Reflect it in their art They forge their creativity Closer to the heart Closer to the heart Philosophers and ploughmen Each must know his part To sow a new mentality Closer to the heart Closer to the heart You can be the captain I will draw the chart Sailing into destiny Closer to the heart

[ishafoxyfox]

Shut the hell up about the fucking trailer park boys.

[deathbot290]

@ishafoxyfox why dont you shut up about the fucking trailer park boys? lol

[ishafoxyfox]

[sweetgyy]

[crapupy]

2nd best EVER...

[crapupy]

2nd best EVER...

[Nekrokilla]

This band has to be one of the best three piece bands of all time. Top three easily.

[logann127]

who the heck would not like this song? 0.02 % of the population.... NOT NORMAL PEOPLE...LOL

[theratfarmer]

i remember the 70's in the US. the people were some mean motherfuckers. i'll squeeze your head off with my hands. no heart. i was a child then, now i have grown to be at a level up here, they are down here. you didn't have to think, just kill each other.

[CrabJock]

@theratfarmer You lost me after "I was a child then". It looked like you just kind of went into a flashback or something.

[R3dp055um]

Ah, those were the days.

Sometimes people ask me about the 70's, and it's impossible to explain. I guess you had to be there, because kids who have grown up in this modern world just are not going to believe the truth.

The 70's were so cool, and so fucked-up, both at the same time. Mostly, they were just different; very, very different.

[yulaw3]

@THEBRUTALSIX i told him, he says he's gonna kill you with sand paper.

[yulaw3]

are they from rusha?

[kkwak92]

@yulaw3 No, but that is the name of the planet which they will discover in 2017 and then rule for all eternity.

[yulaw3]

@kkwak92 do they think they will have rush hour on this planet?

[kkwak92]

@yulaw3 They have no cars on Planet Rusha because every hour traffic would stop due to everyone listening to Rush too intently and singing along with their eyes closed.

[yulaw3]

@kkwak92 good point, will there be thRUSHes? like the little birds?god im losin it now

[Pusfan]

When I am World King, all men shall have moustaches like Neil!
