Time Stand Still
Music by Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson
Lyrics by Neil Peart
On January 7, 2020, the music industry lost a giant. Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist for the band RUSH, lost a three and and a half year battle with glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer. Neil will forever be one of the most influential rock drummers of all time. Over RUSH’s 40 year career, his drumming and thoughtful lyrics have been part of the soundtrack to millions of lives around the globe, and his passing has created a huge void.
When SFC Tim Whalen heard the news, he was shocked and saddened. As a lifelong RUSH fan, he felt compelled to do something to honor Neil and the band that has meant so much in his own life. He immediately knew the song “Time Stand Still” would be the perfect choice.
SFC Whalen relfects, "The lyrics to this song have always resonated deeply with me, and they show Neil’s heart. I wanted to showcase the deep humanity he had in his writing. The song is about life moving too fast, due to both things we can control and things we can’t, and the desire to hold onto something just a little longer. This is such a universal message, whether it be children growing up too fast, a loved one dying, or a soldier leaving home wondering if they’ll ever see their family again.”
Neil Peart
September 12, 1952 - January 7, 2020

@@applejaxx1613 you are wrong. its men that go to war, and die. of course women and children can become victims, unfortunately. but its men who die, get burned to death, dismembered way more often, and its been like that since the advent of recorded history. its mostly men who fight fires, who work construction under the August sun, who drill for oil and gas that people take for granted. the US army does not recklessly kill women and children. efforts are made to avoid civilian targets. its too bad extremists hide among the population in some countries, and allow otherwise innocent people to take the wrath of an attack.

@Chris-yj2di 4 года назад

@@jacksonmiller6679 That doesn't change the message of what he was saying. Men who serve are the greater losses throughout history. 25,000 people may have died in Dresden but 226,386 men were casualties during Operation Overlord. If you really feel that strongly about it, then do something about it. Leave the comfort of your own little world and go provide aid to those who are suffering. I'm not saying that as an insult or a hidden attack, I'm saying that would genuinely make the world a better place because what you are expressing is mercy towards people you see suffering. Go work that gift. RU-vid comments mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I'm a 64 year old Canadian who saw my first Rush concert in a hockey arena at age 14. I was able to hold the tears back through this whole song.... until the picture of Neil at the end. Then my 3 year old grandson says, "Grandad, why are you sad?". I said "you'll understand when you get older, when I introduce you to the music and lyrics of a band called Rush". To our US Army friends south of the border, all I can say is thank you. That was well done. Very well done indeed.

As an Army Veteran, and a RUSH fan since I first heard the band's music in 1974, I was both proud and touched by this tribute to Neil. He was unquestionably the greatest drummer/percussionist there has ever been; as well as being a fantastic lyricist. RUSH has been my favorite band since I first heard their music when I was stationed overseas; and that has never changed. I was very blessed to see them in concert many, many times. I won concert tickets from Pirate Radio on Thanksgiving morning in 1991 for the January 23, 1992, Roll the Bones tour concert at the LA Forum. During the pre-concert party I won a contest that included backstage passes and front/center seats. I actually got to meet, and talk with, Geddy and Alex while backstage. That night, meeting Geddy and Alex, and sitting front/center for that concert remains one of the highlights of my life. I still cannot believe Neil is gone and that I will never get to see RUSH live in concert again; but I will always listen to the music they created for us. I still can't watch this video without getting choked up because of the pride I feel seeing these soldiers do such a beautiful rendition of Time Stand Still; a song that has deep meaning for me as the lyrics truly describe my life. I spent way too much time working and trying to be successful and not nearly enough time enjoying life.

I'm not going to explain exactly why it was so inspiring for me because that's for me only. If this song has no meaning for you then maybe you should start listening to what music is really about.

I had to click on this when I saw the title thinking, "that can't be the RUSH song why would the ARMY band be doing a RUSH song" that song always had an affect on me emotionally but never quite like this before, that was a real punch in the heart, 💔

@davidkrappenschitz1424 4 года назад

When you think about it, it makes total sense. The audition process to be in the army band is VERY INTENSIVE. I don't know what all it entails, but when I arrived at the 2nd infantry division replacement company at Camp Mobile in Korea 1997, one of the guys staying in our 8 man room was going to be in the 2nd ID band as a percussionist... One day I noticed he was listening to RUSH and immediately we got into a long RUSH discussion, as we were both HUGE fans. That was how we got to talking to each other, but because of the intense RUSH discussion, he didn't quite get around to telling me about band auditions, other than it was no joke and they don't just take anyone! With all that being said to describe the calibre of army musicians, you just KNOW peach and every one of them KNOW who RUSH is and what their music is all about. So with that example and the guy I met in Korea as an example, thyre all influenced by RUSH and I believe they feel they owe it to them for helping them get to where they are in the army band... that's what I think anyway

I've been a Rush fan forever, knowing of them in their original form way back in the "70's before Neil Peart. Being aware of his devastating personal loss, today it finally dawned on me. This song is about dying and the experience as the soul becomes aware of the transition. Its beyond beautiful. That a living soul can find the words to convey. Such a gift to us all. Thank you Rush for putting it all together in a way we all want to hear, over and over and over again

I just turned 49 and have heard this song for over 30 years. I had never felt words this strong. I'm a fire fighter and paramedic who has had PTSD for quite some time. I've made so many mistakes that have hurt those that I truly love, but am working hard to be better. I have stopped to smell the flowers, finally forgiven myself for my poor choices and am taking in life. This makes me think of how my kids are growing up, how much I love my wife, and live life as if it were my last. From a Navy man, who gives his Army brother a lot of grief for his branch of service choice...Army wins this one without question!
