Freeze this moment a little bit longer
\nMake each sensation a little bit stronger
\nExperience slips away
\nTime Stands Still<\/a> — Rush<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can remember when I was 17-years-old going to my first and only Rush concert. It was for the The Hold Your Fire Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[more…<\/a>]
\n
\nI had discovered Rush with the Grace Under Pressure<\/b> record, and by the time I was 17, I was in love with the dystopian future foretold in 2112<\/b>. I’ve since grown well away from that Randian vision of the world. But, when you’re that age, the idea of overbearing, authoritarian control, locking up all of the instruments of self-expression doesn’t seem too far out of reach. These days I guess it doesn’t seem too far out of reach either, but for wholly different and entirely more sinister reasons.<\/p>\n

Anyway, as a kid the themes of “time” that Hold Your Fire<\/b> dealt with held very little resonance for me. At that age, time was in my way. It was something to get past – not something to stay or slow. It’s a cruel trick of fate that it seems to take so long to get your life started, then once it starts, it runs away from you.<\/p>\n

I was out walking around today with my iPod on random shuffle. “Time Stand Still” came on, and it just so perfectly captured my mood. I set the iPod to play through the entire Hold Your Fire <\/b>record, and everything in it just felt like right now at this very moment. Well not the music – that’s still nostalgically locked in the late 80s, but the lyrics felt real in a way they never had before.<\/p>\n

It’s funny. Peart would have been 34 when he started writing those songs. That’s just a couple of years older than I am now, so maybe it’s a time of life type of thing. I listen to those songs, and I’m struck by the idea that I need bigger goals. I’ve been walking in circles, covering ground I’ve already trampled under foot. It’s like I’ve paused to wait for something – maybe to collect my forces. In the comfort of resting, I forgot what I was waiting for. I’m still not sure which way to point myself, but I feel as though I’m cheating myself out of time I can ill afford to waste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
