Lyrics Post: “Ghost Of A Chance”, RUSH
Another one from the Canadian band, RUSH. One of the few songs I can recall where Drummer/Lyricist Neil Peart writes on the theme of Romantic Love. And as usual (in my book), he captures it quite well. Great insights, in my humble opinion. Listen, Consider, Enjoy. “Like a million little doorways All the choices we …

Lyrics Post: “The Necromancer”

I don't know the finer points of Peart's writing, chronology, etc.; that said, this song must be …

Start Walking
"The hill is high, the slope is steep; that’s all well and good. One thing is also for sure: you won’t get over it until you start walking." I heard this characterization the other day from a leader talking about the daunting tasks ahead in coping with the next phases of supporting our communities as …
