Final song of the final album. The absolute perfect end to an amazing career. Still have a hard time getting through it without tears.
Absolutely! That is why this song hits so hard. A ballad as their send off and then Neil’s passing to close the door. Amazing!!!
The line “a measure of a life” hits me every time but live with Neil…OMG. Moving up my Rush rankings.
@clockworkangel4026
So true.
All RUSH fans knew this was the end.
So much respect to these guys.
They will forever be missed.
Thank you RUSH for a lifetime of amazing memories.
RIP Neil.
Never forgotten!
Remember, Neil knew this was the end,
Thus this masterpiece.
Same
The measure of a life is the measure of love and respect. So hard to earn so easily burned. In the wholeness of time, a garden to nurture and protect..... Who other than Neil can write lyrics like that????
I can't listen to this song and not tear up, thinking of the three of them and all they went through. It absolutely makes me think of Neil. ❤
I remember when Neil passed away a LOT of people on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc. we're referencing this song to Neil and his life. The lyrics take on a whole new meaning after his passing. What I think made his passing SOO hard to so many people was because no one knew he was sick. Neil was such an extremely private person he didn't want anyone outside his family and very close friends to know that he had brain cancer. He suffered for 3 years and NO ONE knew. So much respect and kudos to everyone involved for honoring his wishes and keeping it private. RIP The Professor.
Alex’s solo on this song is incredibly emotional. Almost painful to listen to this since Neil’s passing
This song absolutely makes me feel that way. Another is "After Image" ... "And suddenly you were gone, from all the lives you left your mark upon"
I lost my mother to cancer one month before this video was released, and my brother, who introduced me to Rush, just over 3 months ago, and seeing it always makes me burst into tears. It's a beautiful tribute to three lives that have touched mine, and who were taken much too soon. I hope you have a chance to see the U.S. Army Band doing a beautifully moving rendition of their song Time Stand Still as a tribute to Neil. Rest in peace Professor.

Have been a fan of Rush since the 90’s. Seen them countless times in concert. Even have signed photos in my office yet this song hits me every single time. It totally has a new meaning since Neil’s passing. Absolutely beautiful song.
It IS a beautifully written and played song. The lyrics are emotional and very relevant to the band, to Neil, to their relationships with each other, with their fans... so many meanings in this. And the music does build, slowly, adding layers. Adding harmonies. You can tell it's special to them as well. They are all 3 extremely involved in it. Their faces show how important it is to them. It's an incredible farewell for the band that redefined themselves and stayed on top to the very last note.
Gets me every time. Amazing !!!!! Alex solo is incredible, when he starts it kills me, then seeing Neil. Love this band
Do you want to know what part of this concert brings me to tears? It have it on blu ray and watch it often. At the beginning, when the house lights go down and the crowd goes nuts….. it brings to life that feeling of watching them live and knowing it will never happen again. I’m a wuss.
“The measure of of a life is a measure of love and respect, so hard to earn, so easily burned. In the fullness of time, a garden to nurture and protect.” R.I.P. Neil, your Garden was well tended and continues to grow.😢
This performance hits me like a ton of bricks every time. The loss of Neil absolutely crushed me. The Alex Lifeson solo on this is also incredibly emotional. His heart is in it.
I had the pleasure of seeing Neil take his final bow at the last show.... 53 times for me.... Met Alex after the show that final night.... Saw them for the first time at the Forum in 1978.... This song is the cherry on top!
Yes, Dave, the strings are a part of the cd version. In fact this live version is VERY close to the album. Well done in recreating the studio sound.
FUN FACT: One of the string section musicians (violin, maybe?) is Peter Dinklage's ("Game of Thrones", "Elf", etc.) brother Jonothan. Peter himself does a cameo in the rear screen video during the song "Roll the Bones" along with a few other celebrities. Oh, and yes, the strings appear on the studio version.
I feel you. I couldn’t watch this vid or listen to the song for more than a year after Neil passed. Tears every time.
An absolute stunning piece of musical beauty and the perfect ending to their remarkable career. Always emotional for those of us for whom their music and lyrics meant so much throughout our lives. You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t get goosebumps and well-up when you experience this powerful performance. RIP Professor .
And RIP David Crosby - another of the all time giants of our era.
With you brother. This one will always be special. Thanks.
My wife and I were able to see Rush live during this tour. I was just glad to get to see them once in person, not knowing it was a farewell tour.
End of an Era! R.I.P. Neil
Yes, this was a live performance in Dallas. **Edit** I just listened to your comment again and I misunderstood. The strings are definitely on the original studio recording.
Have you heard the live version of Losing it with the original album musician on the electric violin? His name is Ben Mink. Another great version of that is the one with Johnny Dinklage. In fact, I think Dinklage was even better.
This song always makes me shed a tear for our dear departed Neil Peart. RIP Neil. This song was the last song on the last album. It was his swan song in more ways than one. It was goodbye (retirement wise) but now (unfortunately) it serves another purpose. Every time I listen to it, I think of him.
Song gets me every time I see and listen to it. Pure genius. Great reaction!!!!!!! 🇨🇦
A very beautiful song that makes me tear up every time.
You were right, something was coming, another brilliant song by Rush, the ending of their recording career, the passing away of Neil and the end of the group. Do yourself a favor, listen to the whole album, and appreciate the brilliance of a group sorely missed. Thank you for the upload and wonderful reaction.
Great reaction, David...feelin' you! I have been a fan of RUSH and followed them since a friend played their 1st album for me in '75. Bought every new album and went to the concerts every year for many years. Love all three of them and I know I'm not a long awaited friend but I miss Neil like I am. Beautiful song, thanks David!
I saw them in Pittsburgh for the Test for Echo tour. They were amazing.
Great reaction!! I think I've listened to this song 3 or 4 times, since Neil's passing. And I'll say, it hits harder every time I hear it. RIP...NEP.
The Garden was also the last track on the album so effectively, the last recording by Neil so a very emotive track for many Rush fans, not just your good self.
With the Lyrics , A Garden to Nurture and protect , Yes so hard to see Neil here and thinking about what he went thru with his daughter being killed in a car crash and shortly after his wife passing from cancer , Those lyrics tell how he did protect his family ,
I am sooo happy you are doing songs from this album. I just don't have the money to get you to watch it. I was worried you would just go buy and listen to it off camera. Thank you.
That's why they call it...The Power Ballad. 😁
When Alex comes in with his solo, tears flow. So amazing
With you on that mate
8/20/24 I tear up every single time I listen to this song, whether the song itself or a reaction. You're the first reactor that was a huge Rush fan already. And to see you tear up made me tear up even more. Still hurts to know Neil is gone.
Last song on the last album. What a way to finish! You're not alone... Brings tears every time, particularly those lyrics that are now even more poignant!
I'm so happy you're finally reacting to this song this is by far my favorite Rush song, and the perfect swansong to end their career I tear up every time! Especially since Neil passed. A perfect lesson on how to live your life.
Touching song, one of the few Rush songs I haven't listened to before.
Loving your 9.3 score! This is an exceptional piece of music! :)
What's cool is this song came from Geddy and Alex noodling on each other's instruments. Then they built the song from there. If you listen to the melodic bass intro and the accompanying chords Alex plays in the beginning, it makes total sense. Neither of them would approach the song that way on their respective instruments. Cool way to get inspiration!
This song meant so much when I saw them live on that tour. But in 2020, it really drove it home.
The string ensemble played in other Rush songs when on tour. YYZ is fun with strings.
Anybody else tear up the minute you saw the title? I love and hate this song. I cry every singl time.
how good and deep this song
So glad you were able to hear ths dave.
Knowing what Neil died of, this song is unbelievable. I don’t think he knew of his illness when he wrote this, but the day I heard of his passing and how, it hit me doubly hard because the lyrics of the last Rush track on the last Rush album are sooooo close to reality it’s scary. I have several lines of the lyrics tattooed on my right forearm…years before he died. It’s good that this made you choke up, because you’re like me, you love Neil.
IMO Neil knew he was ill when he wrote this song and being so close, Ged & Alex were in the know. Just my opinion. RIP Neil...
@@ricknicosia2015 I wrote this because I’m sure I read that he didn’t know until much later. Especially when you consider that the lyrics were written for an album released in June 2012.
I will defer to your knowledge of the matter...thanks for the update.
as I was watching your reaction 8:56 I was thinking, oh buddy, it’s coming. I get choked up every time.
To answer your question about the string section, yes it is on the studio album also, just beautiful and helps set the ambiance and fills space nicely.
Yes, the strings were on the album, which the band said it only makes sense to hire a string ensemble for the tour. I was wary at first (Rush with a string section??) but it enhanced the songs and show greatly. Even on classics such as YYZ and REd SEctor A. Also Dreamline, which did originally have strings also. It was so good that when selections from Clockwork Angels were played on the R40 tour, they were definitely lacking imo because of the string section not being there
For greater context, read the lyrics and introduction story on the album, read the novel “Clockwork Angels,” and discover the background philosophical story “Candid” by Voltaire. After that, this song will cause you to choke up every time you hear it with tears of joy for a life well lived by Neil Peart.
Great book as well!
That entire show at Dallas in 2013 was magical. I recommend Carnies and Headlong Flight from the Clockwork Angels part of the concert.
This album, magnificent. This song, the last Rush song we ever heard, brilliant. I listened to this whole album the day it was released. At the end Olof this song I sat for a good 2 minutes in silence wondering what could ever possibly tip what I had just listened to. A very fitting end to their discology. I sensed that the his was the end of them somehow and they went out on the highest notes of their lives.
I know how you feel man, it was hard and still is whenever I see live Cornell since he passed. It is tough watching since Neil
I teared up with you , man! This song hits me...
First time hearing the song and I really enjoyed it. I'm like you. I'm a Rush fan but never really paid attention to this album. My question is now that the first 2 songs you heard off the album have blown you away, are you going to get the album or wait to react to the rest of the songs on the channel? Maybe we could do a rush army fund raiser to get a full album reaction....
Love that song. Love Alex's chimy/chorus effect guitar parts
This is a great beautiful song, love it!
David, you should definitely check out Caravan (the 2011 Live in Cleveland version). Another great tune from Clockwork Angels!
This songs even harder to get through knowing it's the last song on their last album.
Also the strings are on the studio version, the whole album has string parts throughout.
My dad's fav band is rush.. he has every album they ever made on CD lol
I react the same way every time I hear or watch this song. I just can't help being emotional at the enormous loss of Neil.
One of my fav songs from them, the lyrics are just amazing. My fav 4 albums from Rush, Hemispheres, Clockwork Angels, 2112 and Moving Pictures in that order, This band has really inspired me to be who I am in my musical journey. Thank you boys and thank you Neil for showing me as a drummer that you can be who you are and be appreciated. Thanks boys...
played this song at my mothers wake
After Neil's passing I could not for a long time get through this song. The moment Neil came in I started welling up and I had to close the tab. Its easier now all these years later but it still hurts
You hit it on the head I can't see rush or listen to them without thinking about The Professor. I was a horrible musician in school I couldn't even read music. I didn't learn anything about music until I studied Rush.
I remember seeing this in concert never to believe that this song would affect me so much later in life. I had not bought the album before the concert and regret that. If i remember correctly, the strings came on halfway thru the concert when they focused more on the 'Snakes and Arrows' album. Not every song needs to be a technical masterpiece to matter as this shows. Peace
This reaction earned you a subscription.
The album is there opus a masterpiece. Never has an album told a story so well .
Dave if you like songs just about music, search and watch the Sully Erna Avalon project. This is an awesome outro to Rush's career.
Rush is amazing live that's why lol
Awesome reaction
When this came out in 2012, I remember thinking, what a way to end an album. Now, in hindsight, it's more like what a way to end a recording career.
The garden is a beautiful metaphor for Neil's life. The lyrics are beautifully hopeful and heartbreaking at the same time.
9.3! Holy!
Awww ur breaking my heart for real I mean that I can't stand to see you cry u remind me of my dad 💔
Beautiful reaction mate, very new rush fan here and this song hits incredibly hard. The passage of time - wow it sucks balls huh?
Yeah, me too. Every time!😢
The ultimate tribute
Just a note that I liked your comments and honest emotion. IMO, Geddy & Alex knew what was in-store for Neil when they played this ...a very somber moment for the 3 of them. 30+ year bassist here saying thanks.
They didn’t know and neither did Neil
Great
I always saw this song as a ballad to their career. It’s the final capstone to 40 years. Beautiful! Great reaction, as always.
This song always always hits hard. Not their normal style but so well done. Lyrics are amazing. So fitting.
Neil’s final masterpiece about growing your garden…family and relationships
This was the only tour where Rush had anyone on the stage with them and the strings were on the original recording as well. In my opinion clockwork Angels is close to the best album they ever made.
The final R40 tour- only at the Toronto shows- had guest violinists join the band to play Losing It. Night one was the violinist from the original recording, Ben Mink. Night two was Jonathan Dinklage. But this was the only tour where they had guests on stage for more than one song.
I was at night one….all the way from the U.K.. and yes, this IS a contender for best Rush Album…not a single track out of place, all top notch Rush. When it came out I played it for 6 months and virtually nothing else. I have “the measure of a life…(several lines) as a tattoo.
A little switch up here Alex playing Keys and doing background vocals
So it’s not just me 😢… nice review.
Me either never heard thus 4 cure
Ballade or not! Neill's farewell!
I was at this concert. Can’t watch it with a dry eye.

That link will take you to the complete Clockwork Angels Tour stop in Dallas which is without a doubt one of the finest concerts I've ever had the good fortune to witness.
Alex has a new band EON Envy Of None Check them out
From the intro… all I can say is: gentlemen, rest your sphincters
Well put.
Yup. Tough song to watch these days.
Some of us even avoid this song because of Neil😥
Neil got out before the Covaids nonsense.
