Liner Notes: I've been wanting to record this one for a while. Not only do a love the music, but I really appreciate the message. The lyrics were relevant and prescient in 1987, but sing with a new urgency today. "We fight the fire, while we're feeding the flame."
I'm so grateful to Gilson for contributing the drums. He also edited the Rush Fest footage and the AI footage he created. So this was a true collaboration. I met Gilson at Rush Fest, where he played drums for Karol and the Snow Dogs, the Rush tribute band for which his wife Karol is the lead singer. They were both kind hosts, showing me around and taking good care of me.
Thank you to Rob McGaughey from Universal Audio for the Sphere LX microphone. Get it at Sweetwater:
Thanks to Nathan Mitchell for the video footage.
Thanks to Side 3 Studios for letting us film this.
Special thanks to John Pisa-Relli, my friend and fan, who financed the studio time and videographer for the three-hour video shoot.
This song will appear on Vol. 6 of "Songs for Neil" the latest in a series of Rush compilation albums that are sold as a fundraiser for cancer-related charities. This project is lovingly supervised by Steve Brown from Moving Pictures, the Scottish Rush tribute band that hosts Rush Fest Scotland. The art work is done by Hugh Syme.
Love,
Mike
