"Growth Rings" Co-written by Jeremy Bout and recorded by Neil Peart of RUSH, one of the greatest drummers of all time, this short film honors the way in which music marks moments in our lives. Just as the life of a tree can be understood through it's growth rings, we can look at the milestones and eras of our lives and reminiscence of the songs and bands that resonated with us during those times.

Neil Peart's lyrics combined with the music of Rush are counted amongst my life's growth rings.
Mr Garcia, mine too! My all time favorite drummer and band, His lyrics are among the greatest of all time surely. I am so sorry he had to leave so soon.
Well said. Nailed it
His spirit so necessarily celebrated and mourned.
Paul Garcia, Sums it up perfectly, ditto dubenstein, well said mate. Been to all the gigs since 79, read all his books, I’d never seen this Growth Rings, and I was missing hearing his voice, such wise words he speaks, not only a Professor, a Master.
Amen! Spot on!
Didn’t know that I would miss someone I’d never met. Nice to hear your voice Neil. Rest easy Professor!
Was the first time I've cried over someone's death who I didn't know personally.
My thoughts exactly....
Still, I grieve.
We meet one day.
Amen brother.
The empty seat, with his script and microphone. Heartbreaking.
R.I.P Mr. Peart.
With "Afterimage" for soundtrack.....yes, I'm crying.
Oh my god. Neil. It's so nice to hear you again...
*hears the Professor's voice, smiles contentedly *
Kapricorn71 so true, I heard contentment with his wise reflection. It’s my opinion he had grasped eternity and wasn’t wrestling with it...
When I heard Afterimage and saw the empty chair alongside the narration, it wasn't sadness - it was comforting wisdom and a gentle reminder of his greatness with words. And a reminder to live a little more.
Kapricorn71 ... Cap 70 :-).
Kapricorn71 nice avatar
@@politicalGRAFFITI yours is cool as well
"Suddenly, you were gone
/ From all the lives you left your mark upon..." We miss you, Master!!!
Hey, mi amigo Rushero de hueso colorado! Saludos👍😃
Seriously 😒
I believe the called him the "Professor"
"Suddenly - you were gone..."
I cried
Feeling it
Yeah, I know...me too!
Me, too.
I think I got something in my eye
Me too!
Neil has left a legacy for generations, never has a musician been mourned with so much respect 5months since his passing and he is still being remembered.RIP Neil 🥁
Never? Ehhh I dunno about that...
Don't get me wrong, I fuckin love Neil.
Still? Yea. Duh. Young people i swear.
What about Tupac, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison...Mac Miller.
Agree 100%. Then again there have been few to rival his talent, intelligence and righteousness. Can't believe the death of someone I had never met could be so hard to handle.
From all I've seen and heard, Neil had this over most who proceeded him. He was a high quality, modest, good, nice, warm, honest, deep, thoughtful, friend and incredibly talented man.
This film is relevant in so many ways, in current events and in the truths it conveys, penned in Neil's inimitable style and delivered as eloquently as he ever did. We were fortunate to be able to experience his gifts, even moreso that he was willing to share them for so many years. And with such fortune, the vacuum left by his absence is that much deeper and emptier. I still find myself struggling, on occasion, to grasp a world without Neil Peart in it, but he lived a life so enriched that he will continue to inhabit it, in intangible ways, for many years to come.
To your memory, Mr. Peart. Thank you for everything.
“Suddenly you were gone, from all the lives you left your mark upon... I remember” Afterimage
My sadness has returned. Neil should have done more narrating. He was so well spoken. Would have beeen awesome to hear him do nature shows or - even Cosmos alongside Neil DeGrass Tyson.
He narrated the Clockwork Angels novelization which is like 10 hours long. Good way to spend quality time with Neil ❤
Double neils
Well, his voice does show up, here and there, in RUSH recordings: "Bytor and the Snow Dog," and "The Necromancer" come to mind! There are certainly others but, they escape me at the moment. Such a great band, RUSH is!!!
Sadness for sure. Always celebrate the joy he allowed us to all share with one another every time we listen to his gift to us.
My God, how I miss him.
...so good to hear his voice
Aye! 69 likes!
Words of wisdom from a man who earned the right to speak them. Sorely missed, thank you for everything.
Goosebumps hearing his voice. RIP, Neil.
Though He's just a memory
Some memories last forever
Dang... He could have been a badass narrater in his retirement.
Along with his mighty talent and intellect, Neil had a wonderfully rich speaking voice. Unforgettable.
Ironically, I had a 100 year old oak in my back yard, cut down just yesterday, the day this was released. It was sick and dying and dropping limbs...big limbs whose thickness were measured in feet, not inches. It's hard to count the rings on the stump, the chainsaws did their job really well. But it saw a lot in it's days and shaded the yard wonderfully. Lost my favorite tree and favorite drummer and philosopher within 6 months of each other, but I think everyone can say we've all lost a lot this year.
Yep. 2020 has been a pretty crappy year so far.
Yes, we have lost, but perhaps we’ve also gained an appreciation for people and activities we had all taken for granted, even something as simple as going to a restaurant or show. Perspective is essential and so is...hope. R.I.P., Mr. Peart.
The last minute sounded like he had written his own epitaph. It was his goodbye to the world.
Nice to hear his voice again....will always miss him.
His voice is haunting. Everything that Neil Peart wrote, spoke, touched, created has become precious. His music, art, philosophy will continue to inspire and change lives. May he rest in eternal peace.
Wonderful ❣️😊 x
I am proud to call this person my silent mentor since 1978.
Me too! I was a sophomore in high school.
Neil, you've forever left your mark upon my growth rings.
The world needs calming, intelligent and purposeful voices of truth and wisdom more than ever. Neil Peart was one of the very best of those. Sorely missed.
Thank you so much for uploading this fresh content of The Professor. He is sorely missed. After watching it, I feel his loss even more potently. I hope he looked back on his life in those final days and realised he left a legacy to be proud of.
Just to hear Neil's voice again has gave me the same feeling as the live shows.Thank you for a million years of words.R.I.P.
I WILL FOREVER REMEMBER THE MAN THAT STARTED MY INFATUATION WITH THE DRUMS (AND THE START OF MY PROFESSIONAL AIR DRUMMING CAREER)! R.I.P. NEIL. "IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DECIDE, YOU STILL HAVE MADE A CHOICE"!
Neil, so graceful with your words both written and spoken ! Miss you Prof RIP!
Neil has a rather calming and assuring “Father Time” quality to his voice in the spoken word. It was nice to hear him again. RIP.
What a fantastic human being,
Suddenly you were gone
Of all the lives you left your mark upon..............We Remember.
"Reflected in another pair of eyes....."
Teary and surreal. It was so nice to hear you again Mr Peart.
Neil, you and Rush will forever be in my growth rings. RIP to the greatest drummer I've ever heard.
The voice... the professor of beat patterns and language. Still very much missed... but we have the wondrous work and legacy that will remain to keep him alive in our hearts and minds.
No doubt Rush has left their mark on the world, RIP Neil indeed you are a master.
I think had he stayed with us, and no longer being able to play drums, that voice narration would have been an *excellent* twilight 2nd career for Neil. I can hear him narrating for PBS' American Masters, or other documentary-type things worthy of that terrific voice, and of course would have to appeal to his curiosity and intellect.
Then again l can hear him reading children's books, or books for the blind!
I just may give voice work another try, after losing interest years ago. Starting by volunteering to record books for the blind may be a good start. Maybe that is my elusive silver lining.
Man, I miss Neil. Purest creature on the planet.
Makes me cry like a little kid. So beautiful and so tragic. RIP.
Thank you so much Jeremy Bout & all at Edge Factor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are most welcome. Glad you watched. - Jeremy Bout
RIP Mr Neil Peart - touching words again, reflective and so inspirational as ever.
Thank you....
His influence will live on for generations
Damn those raw onions, wonderful Film
Rest in Peace, Neil. You made a lasting difference. Your body may be gone, but your words and music live on and inspires us.
Hearing the words of wisdom from the Professor just makes my heart so happy, may he continue to rest in peace for he has assumed control in all of us...
Miss you Neil.... You will be always on our minds. R.I.P.
Rest in Peace Mr. Neil Peart! Bloody Legend🥺🥺
I knew this was going to make me cry!
Imminently respectful, in thought, word, and deed. Neil left us with so much, and so much to think about.
Anyone else feel the hairs on the back of their neck stand up? Thank you, Neil. RIP.
My greatest teacher, musically. So profoundly influential on my work and approach to drums. It's hard to put into words. I miss him so much. He was so singular and inspirational. It comforts me to hear his voice, but I'm in tears watching this to the end, to be quite honest. Neil Peart, thank you so much for your life's work and passion.
RUSH Fans, recently the city of St.Catherines where Neil grew up voted to name a park Neil Peart Pavilion and will honor Neil with a bronze statue including his drum kit. No question that the diehard Neil Peart and RUSH fans will pay homage and make the journey to this park on special occasions not only to honor his life but honor the contributions he made to music. RIP Neil Peart.
Hey Clem. I talked with Neil about the fact that I live in Beamsville, close to where he grew up. It may have been part of the connection we shared when we worked on this piece together. - Jeremy Bout
I met Neil in '77 on the "Farewell to Kings" tour. One of the most incredible people I've ever met...thanks for the great memories, my friend. RIP
OMG, this was magnificent. So wonderful to hear his voice again, to feel those words resonate in my heart and mind and soul, to reflect on the beauty of what was being relayed and shared here. Love it!
Neil passed on physically. But in that matter, he became immortal for us all.
"The hunger to make and create, not just consume"
Hearing him talk brought a tear of hope and joy to my eye
Still teaching us. Wonder if they knew how much they taught us. Neil, it will never be ok that you're gone. Thank you for all the memories. Keep your arms around your family, Alex, and Geddy. 💖😢
"....As time takes us down its winding path, we look into the faces of the next generation taking their place beside us. We watch as they grow and learn to express themselves. We search their eyes expectantly hoping to witness the spark. The hunger to make and create and not just consume...."
^^^^^^^^^ this ^^^^^^^^^^
Rush is undoubtedly imbedded in my grow rings. Been listening to them since the 70’s. My heart aches whenever I see something Rush and think of his tragic loss. Neil Peart, not only a great drummer, lyricist, but a great human. RIP Professor. 😢
Oh my god, another gift from this generous, wonderful, one-of-a-kind genius. Thanks, Neil. Again and again, over and over - thank you!
You left your mark Neil Peart. Well done.
"Hearing a fugitive melody can transport us to another time or place.
Neil Peart was much more than a drummer, he was a poet... I hard to listen to this video and don't tears.... Have a Great Farewell tour mr Peart... Thank You... merci for all that you done....
As if it was timed precisely for this season. Thanks Professor, tho I hope the seasons continue a while before we meet
agreed.
"And maybe, if they are excellent and fortunate, they will leave a mark on the world of their own." My eyes are wet again.
Hell i could have listened to tree ring history all night. R.I.P Mr Peart. One helluva a good fellow Ontarian.
Anyone else hear the necromancer here, RIP Neil, the world is a poorer place without you
Neil brought Tears.
The Professor... you certainly left an impact on this man's growth rings. RIP Neil
No one can say it better than the professor Mr Neil Peart I miss you everyday and I still cry every time I hear a rush song you are missed and loved dearly never have I taken a liken to the band Rush more than any other band especially the best drummer and lyricist in the world rest in peace my friend and to Geddy Lee and Alex lifeson I feel your pain. And of course his dearest family and his friends and all the rush fans out there.
I’ve lived a privileged life having existed at the same time as Neil, Alex and Geddy. His memory is a flickering light left behind in the heartland.
One thing for sure Neil Peart was created to play the drums...He WAS and always will be a Master of the Drums! R.I.P. Neil!
Oh man, a huge growth ring was marked on January 20, 1979. Not just my first Rush Show, but my very first concert at age 13. What a day! I am transported.
The music, message... the 'mark' left by Neil and the band RUSH will forever be remembered in the 'Growth Rings' of humanity.. If I had ever been fortunate enough to have met the members of RUSH, i would have simply said.... Thank you.
Great synopsis and great guy. Who the hell gave this 5 thumbs down? REALLY?
I've often thought about what Neil discusses at 6:49 and how many people haven't found "that singular focus... that thing you were created to do.". I count Neil as one of the blessed few that found his true calling, became a master at it, and was both talented and fortunate enough to have his art "speak to the world". And we are equally fortunate to have experienced his art...
Neil you are definitely one of our growth rings. you will never be forgotten and will always be missed.
That voice that intellect. I wish I’d met him personally. Much missed😢
Great to hear Neil's voice and intellect, still hard to believe he is gone, especially seeing the clips of him in the video...Thank you Neil!
Man, I miss neil so much.
R.I.P. Mr Peart your lyrics and music shall live on forever so good to hear your voice again ☮️☯️🥁🎼
"a fallen tree rises and lives again. Where once it gave shade, now it brings light"....ohhh Professor.... :(
Anything that Neil Peart puts his effort into, always leads to discovery.
First I have seen the video of spirit of the radio tribute to Neil and now I see this wonder narrated by him. I can only add thanks for everything mister Peart. his legacy is part of the history of humanity.
Neil’s growth rings ceased at 67 but so many of us continue to grow and will be inspired not only by his music and lyrics, but by the example of how he lived his live for generations more.
Good god, that was both profound and beautiful. I’d expect nothing less from Neil. RIP, so dearly missed.
Neil, you are part of all of my growth rings. Even though you are gone, you will continue having a place in those rings and I will grieve your loss and celebrate the gifts that you gave. Your writing, your lyrics and your music. RIP my brother
To our fallen tree, you certainly will live on. Still providing us with plenty of shade and comfort. Rest In Peace Mr Peart.
Thank you Neil, for sharing your wonderful wisdom and talent to the world. You are greatly missed!
Neil lived such a full life and left such a body of work, in music, videos, and books, it's as if he's forever with us. Generations that have yet to be born will discover and become enamored of his work.
Your creations and contributions will live on forever, Professor. You have touched so many lives in so many different ways. Thank you for sharing your gifts and your wisdom with us. You will be forever missed and remembered. Rest In Peace.
I remember an interview Neil did with Mark Goodman on Sirius (pre-XM merger) where Neil said he would like to narrate nature documentaries.
This man is reaching out of the grave to encourage the future generations to be creative and strive to build lives that others will study like growth rings!
Let Neil's words resonate inside each of our OWN Growth-rings!!! We miss You Neil!!! ~Peace~
Hearing this solidifies why I love Rush’s music and why I miss Neil Peart. He had a unique voice, a gift with word craft, he was able to articulate an abstract idea and make it understandable for each to understand. Missing the professor today.
Mr Musical Shakespeare-Although physically gone, spiritually Eternal. Thank You Neil
'As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern skies'.
And here you are Neil still teaching. You are missed.
