“Limelight” from the album Moving Pictures, released in 1981
That’s right. I’m keeping at it. This is now officially a Rush fan club (at least for a few more days). “Limelight” is another Neil Peart penned banger that lays bare his own struggles with fame while also quoting Shakespeare. It is a revealing, emotional song that proves Peart’s storytelling abilities are not to be reckoned with.
It is a personal tale of being sad and alone in the middle of a crowd of adoring fans. Though I’ve never been in a crowd of adoring fans as big as Peart has, I get it man.
RIP
