In the hollow place a desert gathered
and scores of the weary gazed across the sand
to the far side secrets of the horizon
waiting at the edge of fire for a sign
Some message from the dunes to guide them across
Then from the sky came roaring thunder
the heavens broke open and bled rain upon the land
and forward went the masses into desolation
under torrents of life to which they must cling
their eyes always on that distant horizon
each with a seedling raised to the weeping sky

Is there any one musician who has had a profound impact on your life? For me I think it would have to be David Gilmour.

Neil Peart and his friends, Alex and Geddy. I always go back to their music and find meaning in their songs.
As always, fantastic. Hope would go well in your tags too.

I still remember the first time I heard Rush. I was sifting through a box of my dad’s old records and found A Farewell to Kings. Still think that cover art is one of the best ever made for an album. Popped it on and the title track blew me away. I’d never heard music like that before.

Farewell to Kings may be one of the most underrated albums ever. I can’t say it’s my favorite because all the other albums would be jealous.
