When you sit back and think about it, there really are very few people throughout time who left their mark on music. There's no denying, though, that he's one of them. His voice is unmistakeable and his music remains ahead of its time.

No effects, no orchestra behind him. Just a single, sincere voice. Bring it all back!

...not a song, a tribute. God Bless, Mr. Charles!

A father and daughter singing together is always special and something to remember for a lifetime. Thanks for sharing the moment with us.

@kellruss Education has little to do with intelligence. Peart is a brilliant thinker. He's intuitive in his thought process. You can't teach that. Maher is a newspaper reader and simply chooses an opinion that is close to his own and embellishes it. Peart thinks of what people like Maher can...

Good stuff but let me add soundtracks from "Glory", "The Shawshank Redemption", "A Beautiful Mind", 'Schindler's List", 'Philadelphia", "Rocky", "The Godfather" and "The way we were," and I'm sure I'm leaving a lot more out.

@babykinsism I lost my father 21 years ago and the ache is still there but so too are the good memories. Stay strong and honor his life with yours.

Bring it all back!

Geddy Lee once said it's always about the music. These guys have grown a friendship from the music. In my 30 years of following this band, I have - as we all have - witnessed the evolution of music and the friendships that have grown from it. How can you not respect that. Whether we know it o...

People standing up for their rights and challenging political figureheads who got it wrong, the Jets stunning Colts in Superbowl III, the 'Amazing Mets' and music that provided a voice for a generation. Then, divisive but unifying at the same time. Now, just professions that segregate people, no...

Summer at the pool, 1980, and new experiences. Close my eyes and I'm there.

@RTT8001 I hear you. Everyone today wants to appear perfect. Only problem is the more we try, the less perfect we are. It's called being pretentious, which sums up today's music. I grew up in the 70's...no better music, no pretense.

No matter who you are, it reminds you of a better time, doesn't it? Timeless.

@duongalicious Hands down the best scene in the movie. I didn't want the scene to end...speaks volume to the song, that it can steal a scene. Love it!

Same is true now as it was then..... If your bravado won't allow you to love this music in public, I'll bet you do in private. Who can deny this is musical genius.

What a gift.

Touch a heart and the mind will follow.

Somewhere within these 5 minutes is the answer to world peace.

There is no way to listen to her perform this song without feeling your own life rush through your heart and mind. A collision of youth and age where a fleeting memory of youth is followed by a reflection of age that only a tear can describe. Love and life are unsolvable mysteries, just as they...

In short, Lennon was saying that there is humanity when you remove the institutions that divide us. (His intent is hope). This interpretation says that no one can think beyond those institutions, that we are slaves to our beliefs. (The intent is hopelessness). I guess it comes down to belilevei...

@LuxClassical I couldn't agree more. I guess that's what keeps us feeling young as we grow old(er)...

I'm guessing that was better than the game that followed....

@123456jmf Amen to that!

I'm on my way to high school one morning, this song is playing and life is good....The lasting effect of a good tune - man's greatest invention.

I guess you could say our form of representative government doesn't always, or even usually, represent the views of the masses. That's what happens when the arguments in congress have more to do with what side of the aisle you're on than what your true beliefs are. What has happened to us? Whe...

A bond like no other, broken momentarily by death but made eternal by Love.
