Oh my God, how can I not fall in love with this? I became the new subscriber to the channel. For obvious reasons. One of the most beautiful and "soft" versions for this classic from the best band of all time. Congratulations to those involved.
A very interesting take with the "subdued" vocal in this cover. Not to take anything away from Geddy Lee, but when sung in a more subdued manner, I think one appreciates Peart's ability not only as percussionist ( I am a drummer) but even more so as a song writer. A great song leads to many attempts to cover it in many ways, as if to wring out the hidden full potential of the song. This is an excellent cover as it didn't try to overplay it.
Great rendition of a RUSH classic. I love the vocals by Poliapolis because it leads to a softer sound. I also love the inclusion of the violinist, Bettina that gave it a classical edge. Marcos got a good sound out of the drum kit smaller than what Neil used. Thanks for sharing
I love this video! I am watching it almost weekly when I need to put a smile on my face. Would love to hear more of the story behind putting this together. As musicians move on, pass on, it is only talented artists like this to carry the torch. Job well done.
OMG Nailed it! Others have covered or tried to the drums, bass and guitar but the vocals? Of course the answer is a woman. My metalhead or hairband friends use to give me shit for liking Rush... you either got them or you didn't. The world's biggest cult band. BTEW, beautiful voice (via apple earbuds no less).
Of course the answer is a woman. True. I would never question Geddy's manliness and his bass playing is god-like, but he does sing in a higher range and a female vocalist is a good choice for covering Rush songs.
I have spent almost all of my focus over the years on Neil's drumming. What I love most about covers like this is that it allows a focus on his lyrical writing. Fantastic!
Freaking awesome and she s one amazing vocalist ! Almost a subdued but crazy crisp melodious harmony . It’s like expressing a black sarcasm upon the injustices spoke of and at the same time reminding us of first world problems
The violinist makes this even more exceptional. I am from STL MO and my first live show was at the Stl Arena in 1978 "Farewell To Kings" Tour. A Life Long Fan. Bumped into Geddy on a Friday in Richmond Heights at the Esquire Theatre. That was the day after I attended their show on "Roll The Bones Tour" Great to see that younger fans are still excited about them. RIP Neil and warm wishes for Ged and Alex.
Muy bueno chicos,de donde son....son geniales y muy bien logrado el cover,cada uno en su instrumeto genial,y el color de la voz de Poliapolis le da a la cancion un toque muy especial....muy buenos y saludos para todos
why are the drums from garage band, their so obviously triggered drums. everything else is great though! 0:45 he’s hitting the crash in the video but the sound is clearly the hi-hat. and the snare drum fill before the verse is bad, it’s triggered and like meshed together
BRASILEIROS !!???? Poliapolis - Vocals Bettina - Violin Gustavo Amaral - Electric guitar Marcos Souza - Drums Alexandre Camara - Keys, music and video production
Between the vocals with their soft, melancholic focus and the interlude synth part doubled with the violin (I think it adds that additional accent of warmth that I've only heard from the Live Presto version when done by Rush), this version of the song definitely stands out well.
Wow! I am stunned in a great way. Amazing cover of perhaps my favorite Rush song. I wish I had discovered this when it was originally put on YT back in 2020. The vocalist gave me chills.
I'm a hardcore Rush fan and I have yet to see a cover that impressed me because how can you top Neil and Geddy (and Alex, who is the most underrated guitarist in the world). But this one - WOW. Vocals excellent; violin, nice touch. Dare I say that this cover may actually be better than the original - that's saying a lot.
Amazing cover! The softness in this vocal is perfect, really conveys the slightly sad but resounding purity behind this song's emotion and meaning. The drums are absolutely perfect in feeling the timing of this song, the guitar tone is excellent, the bass and keyboards are easy to hear without being overpowering. What's more to say? Love it.
I like this vocalist, but the problem is, she sings this, like I would think it, and that would not be good. She isn't inflecting the mood of the piece. Tell me I am wrong, but...
Great job but I was disappointed at the end. The drum outro is the most important part of that song - you need a bigger kit and to up your drum dynamics - maybe mic each one separately?
