Rush is such an underrated band; I mean, yeah, I only know their hit songs, but still nobody knows who they are. That said, this is my favorite Rush tune.

This is like the first Rush song I heard lol, it was on vh1 classic and was them recording the song.. pretty cool. My uncle had told me rush was good earlier in that year (last year, 2004, I saw the vid during summertime) and I just decided to pick up some... I got The Spirit of Radio... and.. I... want... more....

The second verse to me, means that Neil didn't know he was going to be a famous drummer. (He was "cast in this unlikely role".) And the second line of that same verse, "Ill-equipped to act", means that he doesn't know how to act around people, or the public. Everyone just knows him as a drummer; not as a person. Then, "One must put up barriers to keep oneself in tact" means that he must block himself, from the public in a way as to not be overwhelmed by people. And, the limelight -- the spot light. Everybody can see him, and knows who he is. (Although, Alex takes the spotlight with his solo!)

I'm feeling wealthy..so here's my two cents.... Rush is THE pre-eminent thinking man's rock band.. Anyways, I agree with a lot of folks here. - The song is about the celebrity-fan relationship. But I'm sure there are themes and motifs of the song we all can relate to. Barriers to "keep oneself in tact" are important for everyone to have. Neil has ALWAYS shunned "the Limelight". He appreciates his fans, but wants his privacy too. This song was written long before the tragedy that Neil suffered in 1997-1998 with the deaths of his daughter and wife. That's why when Rush began promoting Vapor Trails in 2002, the band agreed that only Alex and Geddy would face the media - to protect Neil.

radiofreesini, you're cover isn't that bad. the guitar is raw. didn't care too much for the vocals. you can never do limelight as good as rush but not a bad try none the less.

This was most likely written while they were on the Permanent Waves Tour ~25 years ago. Freewill and Spirit of Radio were getting good radio play, and the band was expeiencing a bloom of exposure. Mr Peart is a very private introverted person. From what I have read he responds poorly to people getting too familiar with him (and misproununcing his name) This song is Neil Peart attempting to express those feelings without making it so personal. I read somewhere that it took him effort to not write "I must put up barriers to keep myself intact" and to move the statement to the 3rd person. In moving this to the 3rd person, Mr Peart generalizes the experience, and makes it more accessible to anyone who finds themselves moved up before they are ready. I don't think Neil Peart is sitting atop his mansion whining about his good fortune, rather I think he is showing that there are negative experiences that come with sudden thrusts of fame, and that for some ppl, these experiences are quite nightmare like. The recent tragedies in Mr Peart's life only drive the point of this song home.

If you liked this, listen to Subdivisions, 2112 Overture, and (imho) Force Ten. First two are mega-hits, and the last one is just them rocking out. And soooo gooood. As for this song, yeah, Neil got hit hard by stardom. And to top it all off, his life is quite tragic. Never knew what he went through just recently until I looked up the band on a whim.
