That is Aimee Mann from Til Tuesday
Also a Canadian I believe.
She appears in the super weird video they shot for this song.
@@gregj1295 Nope IIRC she's from Virginia
@@johnandrews3568Yeah. She’s from Richmond.
@@gregj1295Not a Canadian.
Happy Canada Day to all of you wonderful Canadian people throughout the world, Have a great day...
'Mission' from this album is an absolute winner. The lyrics speak to a mature take on inspiration and obsession with creating art and music. It's wonderful. And Alex's solo to close out the song is one of his best. A must-listen.
"I walk through their beautiful buildings, and I wish I had their dreams..."
Ditto on Alex’s outro solo 💯
That is the song with the lyric “hold your fire” so maybe Nick has heard it.
@@plasticsurgerydisaster6180 very possibly...
"Summer's going fast
Nights growing colder
Children growing up
Old friends growing older"
The lyrics are even better now than when I was a teenager...
Those are some fantastic lyrics by Peart.
These lyrics are perfect evidence of Neil punching well above his weight. Cool lyrics when the album came out but over the years... more and more meaningful and tear jerking.
Aimee Mann is endearing and hypnotic all at once. When she first.
came out with till tuesday who would have thought she would have ever collaborated with the mighty RUSH. Love this song. It really pulls on the nostalgic heart strings, does it not?
Thanks for reacting to Rush on this Canada Day! Very appropriate 😊
All due respect, this is a song that needs the words to be heard. Beautiful, melancholy lyrics that address human longing like few ever written. Honestly, I dont see how anyone who thinks this life is all we have, who doesnt know the God of time, can listen to this without being overtaken by sadness.
One of Neil’s more vulnerable lyrics.
You can say that about pretty much every Rush song since Neil joined the band, but his lyrics got a lot more personal and relatable after Moving Pictures. It's why I love 80s and 90s Rush.
I agree. Not one of their better reactions. They spent more time doing research and trying to figure things out than actually taking in the song. Bummer.
You must do the US military army version as a tribute to Neil Peart after his passing. The words are so beautiful thinking of Neil.
ua-cam.com/video/aAPSK_cV5n0/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB
Its so well done and very moving.
Definitely. It always makes me cry. STILL missing Neil so much.
@@lisaharrison1031😢me too Lisa me too
It was just strings, keys, and vocals…sans any sort of percussion!
The female voice is American singer-songwriter Aimee Mann and she only sings the line "Time stand still", the rest of the lyrics are sung by Geddy, the only time Rush used another singer. I know so much about Rush now, and it's because of you guys lol. I had a bit of a hard time adjusting to this album, Hold Your Fire, but there are a couple of songs I do like, Force Ten is a great song from that album. I still don't know every song on this album.
Hold Your Fire is my 2nd favorite album in all music history. This masterpiece is better than all other artists albums except Tales From Topographic Oceans.
Mission❤
I heard TSS on the radio when it was released and I was so pumped. I had started listening to Rush between Pictures and Signals and loved every album, until this one. It is still the one which probably has the fewest songs I like (from song start to end) on it. TSS I still love. Also Prime Mover and High Water. Most of the rest I might like the chorus but not the verses, and then vice versa on other singles. But those three I do like.
Can't you hear her on the backing vocals in the chorus?
@@PhilipPedro2112 I hear Geddy doing the main vocal and the backing vocal in the chorus and other sections. I don't hear her other than those 3 words, time stand still and maybe a bit of humming around 3:30 minutes into the song on spotify.
Welcome to this album. From all us Canadians, sun is shining.... beer is cold..... Some steak grilling!
Best of the "Day" to you!
{We should make these two honourary Canuks}
Also check out Mission from this album.😊
Hold Your Fire is my 2nd favorite album in all music history. That's right, only Tales From Topographic Oceans is better than Hold Your Fire, which is Rush's phenomenal masterpiece.
Hold Your Fire is a solid album. Different, but holds its own in the Rush catalogue.
RUSH does what every band should aspire to do. THEY MAKE MUSIC FUN AND UPLIFTING.
Absolutely their peak
Yes, this was a big hit in 1987. Aimee Mann was fairly popular in her band, Till Tuesday. They didn't play this song live much because, well, Aimee Mann couldn't be there. Several good songs on this album including Mission and Turn the Page to name a couple.
Aimee Mann - Til Tuesday (Voices Carry) - however, her voice is nothing like Chrissy Hynde’s - totally different. If you are not familiar with the Pretenders, it might be time to start - Chrissy is one of the best bad-asses in the biz.
The lyrics of this song get me as an older guy.
Aimee Mann had a band called Till Tuesday. Their big hit was "Voices Cary".
Guys, I love Hold Your Fire! But then again, I'm an 80's guy, so I loved the synth-era Rush, along with all the rest. You should check out their song from this album called "Force 10"!! It's a killer! Also, listen to all of HYF, it's great!
The female voice is US singer/songwriter Aimee Mann. She was popular in the 80’s with the hit song “Voices Carry” by the band ‘Til Tuesday.
I've requested this album repeatedly on every UA-cam channel :( I LOVE Hold Your Fire. Force Ten, Mission (Live), Turn the Page... with maybe the exception of 1 song, this is a great album. But Rush fans refuse to acknowledge that 🤔
Music from Rush, Yes, Genesis, ELP, was all about continuous re-invention !! this track is another example of Rush expanding there musical horizons great sound as always 👏
And Rush LOVED the "New Wave" of music and embraced it (made it better - imo).
Great song, especially listening to it while driving on a trip.
RIP Neil Peart🤘🎸
The Rush Hold Your Fire tour was the first concert that I chose to attend and the first time I ever saw Rush live (Frank Erwin Center, Austin, TX 1/30/1988). Just an incredible experience, especially Neil's drum solo which blew me away. Good memories. Thanks Nick and Lex! 👍
This was their first radio single from the album, I remember the day I heard it on "release day" and came in after it had started and was like "OMG, is that Rush??? It IS!"... I like all their generations of playing styles, this was definitely a "bit different" but one of my favorite songs of all times (as a (then aspiring) keyboardist, I loved this album and the synths, it still had plenty of hard driving rock songs as well on it, it was actually much more "introspective/meditative" in the lyrics overall for the album, than the prior direction which were trending more "future-philosophic" in nature.
If you wanted trivial lyrics with hard rocks, this isn't the album (although it was actually one of their best in radio play singles compared to some that got almost none, this had I think 3 songs that hit rotation enough that right after release you'd hear at least one during a day on the local rock radio, but nothing like Tom Sawyer popular).
For me, this is the album to listen to when in a "mellow thoughts" mood. Counterparts is the one for a more "humanistic" take, Vital Signs and Signals are the "80s-here-and-into-the-future" vibes, etc, (actually probably the 2 albums that get the least play in my collection honestly, although Farewell To Kings may be less played, I actually like the compositions on FTK better, but you have to be in a certain mood, LOL)...
Anyhow, love ya'lls reactions!
Thank you for the info and support!! ❤️
Children growing up, old friends growing older…*sniff*
Canadian here. I never became a big RUSH fan, but always appreciated their great musicianship. This song is quite nice. Thanks. 😊
This one has incredible songs written by Neil … Mission is my favorite !!
Neil😇 wrote this at a point in his life where he was always on the go and had to learn to make the best of it, and to take advantage of everything.
When I was on a US Navy ship, I had their greatest hits CD in my office. It played the whole time.
Yes, Nick, we played this heavily on every Rock station I ever ran, and it's as enjoyably listenable today as ever...
For me this one of their more emotional albums, and you should definitely check it all out. 🥁🎸🎹
For full closure you really should listen to their final studio album, "Clockwork Angels." Every band, all musicians, have an end to their career. But like the ghost of a phoenix, Angels soared flaming into the beyond. Some spirits just cannot be killed.
Neil in 2014: "A song I still really like. Autobiographical in a sense. The whole thing of wanting to slow things down and absorb the moment. Feel this moment a little bit stronger, since we can't adjust the time to have more. I get frustrated when people say where did the time go. You just weren't paying attention. A day is a day, a month is a month, a year is a year. For me, it started in 1986, I remember sitting down and writing why 1986 was the greatest year ever. So if I was able to think that way in '86, now I know even better to value the passing of time and the richness of experience."
^ Nick & Lexi . . . . READ that quote! And listen to the song again 🙂.
great reaction to a great album!!! Please listen to entire album, specifically Open Secrets, Prime Mover, Second Nature, Mission and High Water! All very beautiful Song! my mom is 80 and this is her favorite album by Rush! Definitely a favorite of mine even though its less progy but more melodic than their past albums
Open Secrets was my headphone tester back in the walkman years, if they could handle the sub-low drum on the fourth measure, they passed 🤘😎
@@ztazon My FAVE track on the album . . . Alex makes his guitar WEEP!
This is not a criticism but rather a testament to the brilliance of Rush. With as good as this song is, it probable does not make my top ten Rush songs … and that’s saying something. Thanks for another great review!
Hardcore fan for over 45 years and this album creates some division amongst Rush fans…you either like it or hate it!! I personally love it!!! Some of Neil’s best lyrics are on Hold Your Fire! I don’t mind the keyboards at all…this song always invokes great emotion when I hear it❤🇨🇦
Force Ten, Prime Mover, Turn the Page, and many other great songs on this album. I saw them live my second time with this tour.
I'm not sure what you guys were reading online, but the female vocalist is Aimee Mann, from the band "Til Tuesday". I believe that Aimee Mann is a fellow Canadian as well. Chrissy Hynde is a bona fide rock star in her own right, but she was not a part of this studio recording. (If she ever covered this song or made a stage cameo to sing that part during a Rush show, I've never heard anything about it, and I'm a life-long Rush fan.)
I see that you corrected yourselves... sorry that I "jumped the gun". I should have let the whole video play out before commenting. Anyway, keep up the good work!
@@CygnusKC In my comment I put she was Canadian, and then edited it when I found out she's an American Girl, I have no idea why I thought she was Canadian :P.
Same! I jumped the gun too, haha!
Oh no! Not this tear jerker! Geddy just keeps it together through this nostalgic juggernaut. Geddy is the big brother I always wanted as a kid. Love Rush! Love you guys

One of life's great mysteries to me, is how little this album is reacted to.
Hold Your Fire is easily the best album from the great 3, as I like to say, that being the 80's masterpieces, Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows & Hold Your Fire, with the latter being Rush's 80's opus as far as fusing synth, bass, guitar & drums is concerned. You won't find a better example of bringing all that together in perfect compositional music form. No one comes close.
The opening track from Hold Your Fire is Force 10 & if you ever wanted a musical slap in the face, that would be it. From there it's just banger after banger of perfectly crafted rock-synth genius & you can tell that this is a culmination of what Rush's 80's sound would be. It's an absolutely beautiful album.
Presto & Roll The Bones are also fantastic albums that go in a slightly different direction but still signature Rush.
Vapor Trails, Nobody’s Hero, Ghost Rider, and Headlong Flight are all excellent tunes from the later Rush albums.
way to go,,, a cool frank from montréal,québec,,,whit a nice rush song,,,O canada,,🤘🍁🤘
I was 17 when this came out. I had just recently become a Rush fan. This was the first new release album they did when I had become a fan. I got it the first day it came out and listened the heck out of it.
I rarely visit it now. 🤦🏻♂️
I never knew they wanted Chrissie Hynde to sing on this song. Nothing against Aimee Mann, but Chrissie would have been amazing on this song! Semi-related, if you know the song from U2 called "Pride In The Name Of Love", towards the end of the song when you hear "Oh oh oh oh.......Oh oh oh oh", that's Chrissie Hynde. Also, if you've ever seen the infamous video of The Who performing "Won't Get Fooled Again" at Shepperton Studios, a young and unknown Chrissie Hynde was in the audience that day. Would love to see Nick and Lex go down the Pretenders/Chrissie Hynde rabbit hole! I recommend the Pretenders song "Talk Of The Town" as a good place to start.
Nick & Lex You would love the song Mission from Hold Your Fire album. The US Army did an amazing tribute to Neil with Time Stand Still. I Love Hold your Fire album Mission is my favorite song. Force Ten is a great song. Happy Canada Day. ❤🔥
These lyrics make my eyes misty, all the more as the kids grow up and leave the nest.
I saw RUSH on this tour, fantastic concert. They did not have the guest vocalist, Aimee Mann, with them during the tour , they had her recorded vocals coming through the PA. system.
Several great songs on this album!! A little of the 'Power Windows' sound.
One of my favorite albums. So glad you're starting to dive in!
This was the first new Rush album to come out on Compact Disc back in September 1987. As a result, Rush albums got a little longer because there was more time to play with. What a great song with lyrics that get more timely as the years roll by, great pick and reaction!
Wow! Forgot about that! as the "Test for Echo" album I couldn't buy the "Lp" because they weren't as available at that time as the CD took over.
@@mvunit3 Yeah, I would imagine by 1996 we were deep into CD territory so it would have been very tough to source TFE on vinyl, still is!
very good track keeps the 1980's Rush sound largely intact
Thanks from Canada Eh! My wife loves this song, one of her favourites from the 80"s. When are you guys going to do The Garden?
Awesome song! You guys are pretty awesome too, thanks for your musical journey, looking at a lot of stuff other reactors don't do! Take care and enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶🔥
Hold Your Fire has a bunch of really great, more commercial-sounding tunes and not to be sexist, but it is lyrically deep and seems to connect easily with the female persuasion.
Geddy's voice is smooth, restrained, and less of an acquired taste. This is the album after Power Windows and before Presto. Top songs on the record, in no particular order, are Force 10, Time Stand Still, Open Secrets, Mission, Second Nature, and Lock and Key.
The playing is incredible and a very refined, but smooth. It's Rush's closest thing to adult contemporary. At the time, it alienated some of their hard rock fans, because while contains incredible songs, musicianship and performances, it is definitely Rush lite.
How bout Emerson Lake and Palmer Live in Montreal @ Olympic Stadium 1977🔥🔥🔥✌🏼❤️
Please listen to EVERY full album....heh heh......seriously even it you did, you would not be disappointed by any, they all have excellent value and style for the time period that they were produced in.
Cheerz!!!!
Til Tuesday had one big hit called Voices Carry. Great song
Love this song. Listen to the lyrics. Neil out did himself on this one. BTW, Rush are from Toronto lol. Montreal Quebec is a great place to visit but Quebec City is even better. Great stuff folks...
The United States Army Band ("Pershing's Own) had a lead singer who was a huge fan of RUSH at the time of Neil's death. The band did a tribute to Neil and covered the song Time Stand Still which you just listened to. This version is very different but really gives you the feels in the best possible way. The video is available on UA-cam... ua-cam.com/video/aAPSK_cV5n0/v-deo.html
Another great album is Moving Pictures. Several terrific songs.👍🤠🇨🇦
Admittedly, I love this album. Glad you enjoyed the song. The video is fun and kind of silly.
Never another Neil Peart Rhythm and lyric genius Fav from this album is Force 10 Awesome
Just saw the band Progject last night. You should check them out if they come to your area. They do covers of Yes, Genesis, ELP, Tull, King Crimson, UK, Gentle Giant, Rush, Kansas, etc. Band was started by the drummer Jonathan Mover who played with GTR, Marillion, Alice Cooper, Satriani, Mike Oldfield and the Tubes. Guitarist is Mike Keneally who played with Zappa, Steve Vai, Satriani, and Devin Townsend, Ryo Okumoto on Keys who played with Spock's Beard, Asia, Phil Collins, Chris Squire, Pete Griffin on bass who played with Zappa plays Zappa, Edgar Winter, Dethklok. New singer just joined from Milan, Alessandro Del Vecchio. Great show!!
Chrissy Hynde? Where are you getting this info? This is Aimee Mann, then singer bassist of Til Tuesday ("Voices Carry.")
The entire álbum is great. Specially Mission, Hold your Fire and Tai Shan
We may be 5 on the planet that actually enjoy "Tai Shan" :p.
@@mvunit3 yes! I just love this song!
Great live version of this track on the Time Machine tour Cleveland 2011.
Chrissy Hine would have been good, but Aimee did an amazing job of backing Geddy
HYF is the most beautiful of Rush! My favorite album of thiers
Great song choice! I love this song!
I got into rush into the 90s so I don’t view them as Rush “periods”, I love all their stuff I own m, some more than others, but still… I don’t own that album and just looking at the song titles, it seems like it’s the only one I know…
They have a Documentary called named after the song
Hold Your Fire is one of their stronger 'later' albums. Always enjoyed that one and Power Windows as well. T
Time Stands Still is a very nice song by them. Love the lyrics, as usual.
I just read Narvik's comment, that this and Presto were his first albums ... I probably would have liked it more, then now, as I heard Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures and Signals before. It's just a different sound, not bad, but not as good as early 80s🤘
Great discovery guys! This may be considered the last '80s Rush album sequencers and synth textures everywhere, hi-fi Wal bass sound. Though Presto was released in 1989, it spearheaded the '90s Rush sound. Geddy goes back toi the Jazz Bass, Alex dropped some delays and took a page of his own book back. HYF is highly emotional, less preaching and more dealing with it.
My favorite for many years, this album is a dish for a connoisseur. May you enjoy it as the fine vintage it is!
This whole album is excellent, Prime Mover is another good choice from this album.
Hold Your Fire and Presto were my first albums and I thought this was the sound of Rush.
Hehe . . . wow! What a cool perspective though you got from that time. Those 2 albums (I LOVE Presto) are dear to me because I made a best friend who was a fellow artist and a Rush and Kansas fan, then we met a "3rd" guy who also loved Genesis and was an artist, and we exchanged lots of music :).
Even older Rush fans who adapted to the Signals, Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, phase didn't like "hold your fire". The concert was very good though and the album art and tour book art were great. I find the best use of this album is listen to it while cycling. Which I guess is what Neil was doing.
You should DEFINITELY check out "Mission" from this album!!! It is phenomenal, and am sure you all will agree!!! And the wonderful Aimee Mann on vocals!!! So much Rush music to discover off of the albums Signals, Hold Your Fire, Grace Under Pressure ("Early Distant Warning"!!!!), Roll the Bones, Counterparts, Test For Echo, Presto, Vapor Trails!!!! Sooooo much!! And if you want to go further, you should check out Til Tuesday (Aimee Mann). From Til Tuesday's first album "Voices Carry" and "You Know the Rest", and quite a few great songs from their albums Welcome Home and Everything's Different Now!!! Oh, and don't forget Geddy Lee's solo album released in 2000!! I actually like the second half of that album more than the first half....
Prime Mover from this album - super easy to get lost in it. Great to see you guys into the deeper 80s Rush! ✌🏻
played this tour in glagow. man it was unreal. great album one of my fav
power windows is more rockier but still so fresh even to this day, but do the full album man
Try Lock and key from this album.😊😊😊
Thanks for reacting to this song. I happen to love '80s Rush, because I grew up in the '80s and like music from that era in general. (By the way, Aimee Mann was in the band Til Tuesday, and their big hit 'Voices Carry' is also worth a reaction). Personally, I really like Geddy's vocals in the '80s and into the '90s; he had a mellower, more melodic delivery. I suggest checking out the song 'Mission'; my personal favorite is the live version from Birmingham in 1988; Alex's guitar solo at the end is among his most emotional.
Thanks for the nice Canada Day mention. Greetings from Québec City.
Happy Canada Day guys, and congrats on reaching 100k subscribers. You guys heard part of this on Beyond the Lighted Stage documentary.
Rudh!! 🤘🤘🤘
Great Tune cheers from Canada eh!!
Hola muchachos . Esperando a Los Jaivas tema tarka y ocarinas from Australia
Neil just goes nuts at the end. It's a sad song, but hopeful too.
Lead singer of Til' Tuesday, Aimee Mann really adds a great dimension to this song. Video also strong.
Another great Canadian band that you touched on a while ago is Max Webster. You heard the song "Battle Scar." This was the surprise that included Rush. You need to dive down that Mighty Max Machine rabbit hole in the future starting off with "The Party". In terms of more Rush, I'd have to say have a listen to Witch Hunt if you haven't already. Such a haunting song. Have an awesome day guys and thanks for the shout out for Canada Day!
So, now you need to listen to The Pretenders - Back on the Chain Gang and Til Tuesday - Voices Carry
As some have mentioned the US Army version of this song as a tribute to the passing of Neil Peart is so touching, bring Kleenex
Yea Canada day, I think I may want to move there very soon. Great reaction.
I like this album. Many like to dislike the last 2 songs, Tai Shan and Highwater. I enjoy Tai Shan but the other not so much.
Maybe for Rush, you guys could do 2 passes through the song: once for the music, once for the lyrics?
rush the best from argentina
Hey Nick and Lex! Hope you guys are well. I would like to see you go through Hold Your Fire. It has some great songson there. Force Ten, Open Secrets, Prime Mover, Mission, and this one are the standouts. A lot of people dislike Tai Shan on this album but I think it's a beautiful song most enjoyed with Neil's lyrics
More Rush! YAY!
As Joni Mitchell fans, I think you would love Aimee Mann’s solo work.
