Holy Crap It's on Time This Week!

Welcome back to Music Monday... I think that since I'm on summer break, they will more than likely be on time now... (Don't hold your breath...)

Here's this week's installment...

Limelight

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage

Cast in this unlikely role
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact

Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme

Living in a fish eye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend

All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage

Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem
For those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme.

-Rush/Neil Peart





I am also going to add a drum solo by Neil Peart. Again, I have to say that he is the most amazing drummer that I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. After reading all of his books, I see where the his lyrics are coming from and why he does what he does... It's long... 8 minutes...
