Every morning since this I have listened to Rush at volume "not recommended" by my device for a few songs.
More for the story telling he did as the work on the drums. The singing of his lyrical work is as great as his work on the drums and Geddy Lee had no kind of voice really. I love Rush's stuff. But give Peart's brilliant song writing to a really gifted singer/singers and they would be considered the greatest band ever.
Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon
We burn the midnight oil
The fragrance of Afghanistan
Rewards a long day's toil
Pulling into Kathmandu
Smoke rings fill the air
Perfumed by a Nepal night
The Express gets you there

This was probably his lightest work ever and it was just incredibly crafted.
Everybody talks about how he was a once in a lifetime drummer.
And that's true. I've said he and Palmer were/are the best ever and nobody else is even in the conversation.
What we are missing is this..........
He was probably the greatest rock lyricist ever. EVER.
I cannot think of a better songwriter. He assembled fantastic stories that got set to music.
Neil Peart was the most brilliant at that particular than we have ever seen.
This was an unusually specially artist in more than one dimension.
Won't see that ever again.
