Rush – Hold Your Fire is 20 years old this year. You know, there isn’t a single album EVER…. that I’ve listened to more. If there is one album\/song that I would ask be played at my funeral, it would be this. Everything from Prime Mover to Time Stand Still pretty much describes my life up til now to a T. I just hope those of you reading this can take as much from this album as what’s lead me to this point until now. For a glimpse as to what’s held in this tell all tale… read this:<\/p>\n
I turn my back to the wind
\nTo catch my breath,
\nBefore I start off again
\nDriven on,
\nWithout a moment to spend
\nTo pass an evening
\nWith a drink and a friend<\/p>\n
I let my skin get too thin
\nId like to pause,
\nNo matter what I pretend
\nLike some pilgrim —
\nWho learns to transcend —
\nLearns to live
\nAs if each step was the end<\/p>\n
Time stand still —
\nIm not looking back
\nBut I want to look around me now
\nSee more of the people
\nAnd the places that surround me now<\/p>\n
Freeze this moment
\nA little bit longer
\nMake each sensation
\nA little bit stronger
\nExperience slips away…<\/p>\n
I turn my face to the sun
\nClose my eyes,
\nLet my defences down —
\nAll those wounds
\nThat I cant get unwound<\/p>\n
I let my past go too fast
\nNo time to pause —
\nIf I could slow it all down
\nLike some captain,
\nWhose ship runs aground —
\nI can wait until the tide
\nComes around<\/p>\n
Make each impression
\nA little bit stronger
\nFreeze this motion
\nA little bit longer
\nThe innocence slips away…<\/p>\n
Summers going fast —
\nNights growing colder
\nChildren growing up —
\nOld friends growing older
\nExperience slips away…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
