This is not just a song. This is the cure for the modern human mentality that is harmed by the pressure of life. Great respect to the great band, Rush. R.I.P., Neil. So sad that you've gone too fast. You'll be in my mind forever.
You Got dat Right,4 da Future of always with IntroSpect,for the Great Times,that wont Stand Still,except,within the Moments,that Gives Us the Values that RUSH,wayyyyy toooo,FasT!Take care!nah!
I did the same Gary H. I was 14 yrs old in '91 when I got a call from a buddy and he played half of Roll The Bones on the phone for me during christmas break from jr. high. He said, "Pablo listen to what he's saying." We dug deep into lyrics trying to decipher their meanings.
About ten years ago, I had to say goodbye to my step-dad, a truly fine and good man taken too soon from this life. On the morning, a thousand miles from my home, that I rose in the dark but knew that he didn’t have long, I put on my earphones for my portable CD player. And in the pre-dawn, I listened to “Bravado”. And then rose and did and said what I had to say and do. Bless you, Rush, for being a part of my life for years, and bless you, Neil, for giving words to that soundtrack.
I have seen RUSH countless times since 1977 (Lord I'm old), and I will NEVER forget the amazing musicianship amongst these 3 men, and how they were so sorely cheated out of consideration as "greatness" amongst the music industry. Neil can NEVER be duplicated as with Robin Williams as an example. My heart hurts terribly when I think of the great concerts, the books, the meetings, everything that this band was, Neil was to the music industry. What a blessing to those who experienced RUSH...what a shame to those that didn't.
great comment Karen, yes I'm also over 60 been a fan (almost) as long as you ... since 1980. and, YES, the best band ever. we love Robin Williams (and Gilbert Gottfried RIP) ... i won't mention what we have in common, here.
You got That Right!Circumstances some how got in the way for me ta See Rush,in the past,I fortunate to See them 2 times,Power Windows,and Roll the Bones. Most favorite band in da Whirl ,nah!Take care,Karen!
A few months ago, I stumbled upon a comment left by some ignorant trolling jackass who dared to say Neil was overrated. Couldn't resist answering, telling the bozo that if anything, Neil was not only underrated as a drummer but as a lyricist and as just about everything he put his heart, mind and soul to.
RIP Neil. You were the best. The world lost a great musician, writer and man yesterday - "and if love remains, though everything is lost - we will pay the price, but we will not count the cost."
Absolutely one of my favorites! I choose not to see Rush in terms of periods or, stages. They made amazing music throughout their career. Every stage has its peaks! For me, the ultimate peak is Xanadu, studio or live, I don’t care!
If we burn our wings flying too close to the sun If the moment of glory is over before it's begun If the dream is won though everything is lost We will pay the price but we will not count the cost, When the dust has cleared and victory denied A summit too lofty, river a little too wide If we keep our pride though paradise is lost We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost And if the music stops - there's only the sound of the rain All the hope and glory, all the sacrifice in vain And if love remains, though everything is lost We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
Best Rush song ever - the lyrics are incredibly meaningful and most human beings can relate to them: "If we burn our wings / Flying too close to the sun".
*One of my favorite RUSH songs.....probably one of the "easier" songs Neil did. Smooth and not complicated. Thank you GOD for letting us watch this human being perfect his craft well over 40 years!*
The ending chorus after the guitar solo is actually pretty complex from a drumming standpoint. He's showing off excellent hand-independence and it would normally require two drummers to play that beat.
Hearing this makes me happy to be one of the few people of my generation capable of enjoying such mastery. I'm 17 and proud to say that Rush are my gods.
The thing is that this kind of music flies under the radar, no matter the era. It’s easy to scoff at nerdy, technical hobbies and forms of entertainment. In the same way that it’s easy to say that pop music has no soul, the unacquainted look at prog rock and similar styles as a replacement of the heart with the brain. However, Rush’s music subverts this constantly. It might be one of the reasons why they bordered on mainstream at some points. The heart is undeniable in songs like these.
Still watching and very much remembering and reliving R30 in 2024...my second favorite tour of the 11 tours I attended. Time Machine was #1, but R30 is a damn close 2nd. Geddy's voice was still so very strong for R30, but had mellowed and in many ways was just so pleasing to the ear.
Una canción que te alimenta el alma y te alienta a seguir adelante siendo fiel a ti mismo. Me hace sentir que hay cosas que aún valen por las cuales luchar
I took this song for granted as far as studio version on roll the bones . As a live song it is one of the best songs of all time. Capped off by the best instrumental ending ever
These guys stir my emotions in why's I can't describe, I will miss them with a deep heartfelt pain. Maybe someday I will ride with the ghost rider. Thanks RUSH for so many years of amazing, incredible, just magnificent soul moving music. Forever rush, rush forever!
In these grave times right now, Rush can make it better. One day they will be the biggest band on this planet. Music like this will only continue to bring in the masses. It used to be our own little cult band, but we are bringing them in now. Rush forever!
This is my favorite version of my favorite song. Years ago, when it was at just a couple of thousand views, I would share it each time it hit a new 5k view milestone. I haven't been here in a while, and I'm happy to see it now has been loved by so many.
One thing that's never failed to amaze me about rush is just how big their sound is, considering they're just three guys! It's a testament to their talent as musicians.
Although I loved Rush since the end of the 70's somehow I lost connection and never heard this song til now. Since yesterday this magnificent melody is playing non stop on repeat in my house! Rest easy beautiful soul!!!!!!!
Bravado was played on both tours. This performance was left out of the original R30 DVD along with 7 other songs but they were all restored in the Blu-ray version.That's what this is from.
lyrics : If we burn our wings Flying too close to the sun If the moment of glory Is over before it's begun If the dream is won - Though everything is lost We will pay the price, But we will not count the cost When the dust has cleared And victory denied A summit too lofty River a little too wide If we keep our pride - Though paradise is lost We will pay the price, But we will not count the cost And if the music stops There's only the sound of the rain All the hope and glory All the sacrifice in vain And if love remains Though everything is lost We will pay the price, But we will not count the cost
My goodness why can't more people appreciate this band!!! Absolutely nothing else like it in the whole wide world. I love the extended jammin at the end of this song.
This song has been my go to for many different situations. Sleepless nights, painful heartaches, broken dreams, lost loved ones, times of aggravation... Neil Peart knew exactly what he was doing when he grabbed his pen & notepad and prescribed the greatest medicine known to man...his masterful lyrics set to the soothing soul of RUSH. God bless you Doctor. RIP Neil
Idiscovered them from friends who had a garage band in the 80’s I was 15 or so my first song was Tom Sawyer grew up with Rush, I just hit 50 and still RUSH is my favorite band I rediscover songs that I have listened so many times and I discover new meanings. When Neil passed the whole day I listened to RUSH it was my kind of homage to him .
This song makes me sad.."Bravado" has always one of my favorites..but I get a bit emotional..as a part of their lyric is "if the music stops" and at the time, I thought..never! RUSH..best band ever..hopefully the "music will never stop"..and it has..my heart was broken when they "stopped"..retired..RUSH! We love and miss you..please, please come back..
Niel....i just wish you knew how much I admire your drumming..i tell everyone I know that you are best drummer in the world..i am in awe Of the talent...you are a blessing in this world...God Bless you and your family
For as long as I can remember, I have been travelling all over the place to watch these masterful musicians perform live thanks to my wonderful dad raising me around such amazing, melodic, heartwarming, and kick ass music!! I am only 21 and I am proud to say I have been able and have had the privilege to see rush 27 times!! so many people in my generation of kids just don't understand the caliber of musicianship these three men play at. it simply just makes me sad!! All I can say is that I myself could never imagine a world where Rush never existed... They will live on until the end of time itself. the end of one of the most epic eras. Long live these fuckin guys man!! long live them!!
This is not just a song. This is the cure for the modern human mentality that is harmed by the pressure of life. Great respect to the great band, Rush. R.I.P., Neil. So sad that you've gone too fast. You'll be in my mind forever.
I am glad that you have decided to live forever.
@@hrahmani5738 He's the last immortal man. Must of found the honeydew!
I'm sad
You sir are perfect
You Got dat Right,4 da Future of always with IntroSpect,for the Great Times,that wont Stand Still,except,within the Moments,that Gives Us the Values that RUSH,wayyyyy toooo,FasT!Take care!nah!
Alex is and will always be in the top guitarist of all time. Nobody plays like him, and we will never see this again. Truly a gift from god!
This is the first song I came to when I heard Neil died. This is one of his best
I did the same Gary H. I was 14 yrs old in '91 when I got a call from a buddy and he played half of Roll The Bones on the phone for me during christmas break from jr. high. He said, "Pablo listen to what he's saying." We dug deep into lyrics trying to decipher their meanings.
Yes!!!!!!!!.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏cry cry
Yup.. ua-cam.com/video/RbXv83xt2Ag/v-deo.html
😪!
Great song!
I’m 21 years old and even I know this is the best band ever
Good taste!!!👏👏👏👏
Good taste!!!!!!!...with you!!💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭bye Neil
Then you are going to be just fine... Carry on!
It isn't.
Age is not prejudiced against taste 👌
Simply beautiful - one of those songs that makes you so glad this band exists on Earth
That Tele sounds so good.
Enjoy The Pass and Presto
👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷

Bless you, Rush, for being a part of my life for years, and bless you, Neil, for giving words to that soundtrack.
god this song can bring me to tears, lyrically and musically. Rush Forever.
I fully agree with this comment written in 9 years ago, in the aspect of tears, lyrically, and musically.
The Professor,Neil Peart writing the lyrics, Geddy and Alex writing the music to one of the best Rush songs ever.
This song always tore me but never like today. R.I.P. Neil.
Agree 😪
Yes!! Cry cry cry
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Such a gorgeous and haunting melody, and such piercing, deep lyrics. Neil Peart 🔥💔💕💖😇
Tore is a good adjective here
The most under rated band of all time...........they are amazing.!!!!

i ve since 1974 the best all three
great comment Karen, yes I'm also over 60 been a fan (almost) as long as you ... since 1980. and, YES, the best band ever. we love Robin Williams (and Gilbert Gottfried RIP) ... i won't mention what we have in common, here.

Gosh, I miss going to a Rush concert. 😞

RIP Neil. You were the best. The world lost a great musician, writer and man yesterday - "and if love remains, though everything is lost - we will pay the price, but we will not count the cost."
One of these days I'll just give up and admit that this is not only my favorite Rush song, but my favorite song period.
Definitely my favourite Rush song, that's for sure
Along with Animate!!! Neil's fav song!!!!...these two songs is all I ever need
👏👏👏👏...my fav along with "Animate"!!!...Neil said that he thought Animate was their best song!!!!!bye bye Neil💪
I salute those that can narrow it down to one song. I cant. I've got it down to 11 to choose one from lol
Absolutely one of my favorites! I choose not to see Rush in terms of periods or, stages. They made amazing music throughout their career. Every stage has its peaks!
For me, the ultimate peak is Xanadu, studio or live, I don’t care!
Best three peice band on the planet , fact!!!!!
Rest in peace Neil... you teach us everything how its like to play drums... sticks up high for you !
😪!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Masterfully executed, might be the best rendition of the song. The ending is spectacular. These guys are such professionals.
check out the Rush in Rio version. IMO it's better and the crowd is amazing.
One man bands, each of them...
If we burn our wings flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory is over before it's begun
If the dream is won though everything is lost
We will pay the price but we will not count the cost,
When the dust has cleared and victory denied
A summit too lofty, river a little too wide
If we keep our pride though paradise is lost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
And if the music stops - there's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory, all the sacrifice in vain
And if love remains, though everything is lost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost
We will pay the price but we will not count the cost. So 2021… song has a new meaning today .
Nothing compares. Love remains. Oh Neil. You saved my life Brother.
Best Rush song ever - the lyrics are incredibly meaningful and most human beings can relate to them: "If we burn our wings
/ Flying too close to the sun".
Swifty here I always love this song in concert great great song
*One of my favorite RUSH songs.....probably one of the "easier" songs Neil did. Smooth and not complicated. Thank you GOD for letting us watch this human being perfect his craft well over 40 years!*
The ending chorus after the guitar solo is actually pretty complex from a drumming standpoint. He's showing off excellent hand-independence and it would normally require two drummers to play that beat.
The sound of the rain doesn't stand a chance. RIP, Neil :(
Bad ass guitar solo! Ged and Neil also sound amazing as usual! Rush rules!
RUSH...The Best Gaurtist, The Best Bassist AND of course The BEST FUCKING Drummer there EVER will be! R.I.P. Neil!
Canada's gift to the world - Rush!
Hearing this makes me happy to be one of the few people of my generation capable of enjoying such mastery. I'm 17 and proud to say that Rush are my gods.

However, Rush’s music subverts this constantly. It might be one of the reasons why they bordered on mainstream at some points. The heart is undeniable in songs like these.
So we’ll said, thank you for that.
My First Rush Album... The First of Many
Front row (left) Shoreline back on the Roll The Bones tour. And Alex yelled *PLAY GUITAR* !! because I was playing "air bass" :D!! :D !!!
I 100% believe this. That's hilarious and sounds exactly like something goofy Alex would do. Thanks for sharing!
It's a great bass song as well. Every instrument in this song get it's due.
I was at that show 3rd row center, what was it May or June of 92
This song helped me so much when I was in the hospital. Its a masterpiece.
One of the most beautiful Songs ever.
RIP Neil Peart. Only ONE! Thank you for all you gave. Xoxo
Thank you so much Neil. The love definitely remains!
Rock N Roll forever.... forever... young eternity ....forever....
One of the most uplifting songs ever composed from my favourite band in life! 🎸😌
One of my favorites! Thank You for playing. Underrated as always
Thanks Neil that you a part of this great band and all great songs. I hope you will play drums in a wunderful piecefull universe by God.
I love the way Neil Peart plays the drums on this song. He keep the song interesting even when they repeat the same chords over and over.
Exactly! The drums are the true MVP of this song. They subtly keep an otherwise boring drum beat very interesting.
There is a reason why Peart is the most influential rock drummer of all time:)
Was one of his favorite songs to play.
Bravado, Mission, Ghost of a Chance are my always my first songs of the day
My favorite song by my favorite band and their performance in this video is so freaking awesome. My favorite live performance of theirs too.
Still watching and very much remembering and reliving R30 in 2024...my second favorite tour of the 11 tours I attended. Time Machine was #1, but R30 is a damn close 2nd. Geddy's voice was still so very strong for R30, but had mellowed and in many ways was just so pleasing to the ear.

I took this song for granted as far as studio version on roll the bones . As a live song it is one of the best songs of all time. Capped off by the best instrumental ending ever
And may the love remain...when everything is lost....miss you dreamer drummer...
My favorite RUSH song. Miss Neil ❤
Rush are truly the best.
was fecking epic that gig wasnt it? took my 14 yr old daughter to her first ever gig.....blew us both away :)
This is one of my favorite 90’s Rush songs. Geddy still had his voice during this tour. I will miss these guys.
These guys stir my emotions in why's I can't describe, I will miss them with a deep heartfelt pain. Maybe someday I will ride with the ghost rider. Thanks RUSH for so many years of amazing, incredible, just magnificent soul moving music. Forever rush, rush forever!
yeah, I can see that...so much so that you lose the ability to spell
Não existe nunca existiu e jamais exitira banda de rock semelhante igual ou superior ao RUSH
I LOVE RUSH IS FOREVER
GIIVANI VERIATO
In these grave times right now, Rush can make it better. One day they will be the biggest band on this planet. Music like this will only continue to bring in the masses. It used to be our own little cult band, but we are bringing them in now. Rush forever!
Essa música é uma obra-prima do Rush

Perfect medley perfect solo. perfect lyrics ......
One thing that's never failed to amaze me about rush is just how big their sound is, considering they're just three guys! It's a testament to their talent as musicians.
Dieu que j'aime ce groupe. Encore mieux en concert qu'en studio. Le power trio le plus performant, les maîtres de la prog
Wow ils sont vraiment les meilleurs au monde
The best band on this planet
Rush are like a fine wine.
Duane Catton Extremely well put my Rush cohort....
Absolutly
R.I.P Brother.....you were the soundtrack of my life! ❤️
Geddy Lee is Awesome. He's the only bassist i know that sings and play keyboards with his feets very well at the same time. My Respect!!!
C’est tellement bon! Mon groupe no 1 à vie
The Greatest Band Ever, no other band comes close
Although I loved Rush since the end of the 70's somehow I lost connection and never heard this song til now. Since yesterday this magnificent melody is playing non stop on repeat in my house! Rest easy beautiful soul!!!!!!!
Bravado was played on both tours. This performance was left out of the original R30 DVD along with 7 other songs but they were all restored in the Blu-ray version.That's what this is from.
lyrics :
If we burn our wings
Flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory
Is over before it's begun
If the dream is won -
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost
When the dust has cleared
And victory denied
A summit too lofty
River a little too wide
If we keep our pride -
Though paradise is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost
And if the music stops
There's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory
All the sacrifice in vain
And if love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost
It's sad..their music "stopped" I'm sad..best band ever..hope they come back someday..
My goodness why can't more people appreciate this band!!! Absolutely nothing else like it in the whole wide world. I love the extended jammin at the end of this song.
I feel like 2004 RUSH was one of the best sounding years they've had
mermão, isso é uma aula..supera muito a um simples show ...os coroas manjam dos paranauês...
Stunner of a song. This is true quality musicianship. Geddy Lee is one of the greatest bass players and frontmen in the music Bizz
Masterpiece...period.
I can’t live without rush for one day
This song has been my go to for many different situations. Sleepless nights, painful heartaches, broken dreams, lost loved ones, times of aggravation... Neil Peart knew exactly what he was doing when he grabbed his pen & notepad and prescribed the greatest medicine known to man...his masterful lyrics set to the soothing soul of RUSH.
God bless you Doctor. RIP Neil
one of the greatests bands of all time
I was there on September 24 in 2004 in francfort Festhalle
IT was simply great!!!
Uma música com um estado de espírito fantástico
Thanks for the poetic wisdom Neil
Idiscovered them from friends who had a garage band in the 80’s I was 15 or so my first song was Tom Sawyer grew up with Rush, I just hit 50 and still RUSH is my favorite band I rediscover songs that I have listened so many times and I discover new meanings. When Neil passed the whole day I listened to RUSH it was my kind of homage to him .
this song should be played at all major sporting events, such as the olympic games especially, as it is only held every 4 years!!!
God speed Neil. Gone, but never forgotten.
The best version I've heard
Pure awesomeness!
This song makes me sad.."Bravado" has always one of my favorites..but I get a bit emotional..as a part of their lyric is "if the music stops" and at the time, I thought..never! RUSH..best band ever..hopefully the "music will never stop"..and it has..my heart was broken when they "stopped"..retired..RUSH! We love and miss you..please, please come back..
The lyrics are very appropriate for this time in history. Awesome guitar solo.
This is One of the reasons I like RUSH music a lot😃
Speechless, sheer brilliance!!
This is the best version of Bravado. Alex on the Tele with a fantastic solo.
My opinion...Best Drummer Ever! R.I.P. Neil.
Totally amazing from the greatest band that ever existed. Rush will never be not a part of my life.
Awesome music from Canada to the world and to the Milky Way.
These are some of best lyrics ever written. Hands down.
RIP Neil. Thanks for everything.
Quite possibly my favorite Rush song
Lee's voice better with time, RIP professor travel well.
😪,
what a great song.
You hear all the time about songs that "just don't get old"...this song not only doesn't age, it just keeps getting better every time I hear it.
Niel....i just wish you knew how much I admire your drumming..i tell everyone I know that you are best drummer in the world..i am in awe Of the talent...you are a blessing in this world...God Bless you and your family
RIP Neil! God bless you! Thank you for all of your songs!!! You will always have a special place in my heart!!! Carry on!!
Que coisa linda. Tive o privilégio de ir em 2 shows deles . É uma coisa impressionante
For as long as I can remember, I have been travelling all over the place to watch these masterful musicians perform live thanks to my wonderful dad raising me around such amazing, melodic, heartwarming, and kick ass music!! I am only 21 and I am proud to say I have been able and have had the privilege to see rush 27 times!! so many people in my generation of kids just don't understand the caliber of musicianship these three men play at. it simply just makes me sad!! All I can say is that I myself could never imagine a world where Rush never existed... They will live on until the end of time itself. the end of one of the most epic eras. Long live these fuckin guys man!! long live them!!
A melhor banda de todos tempos eles entendem muito em musicas e instrumentos,showwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
