Liner Notes:
RIP, Neil Peart. Words cannot suffice, but a little music helps. It's worth a shot, anyway. He is my favorite drummer and lyricist. He wrote the amazing words to this song...
I had worked up this acoustic arrangement of "Time Stand Still" recently in memory of the passing of Mr. Peart. I took the opportunity to record it this past weekend when Brenda happened to be in town (her first trip to Denver). I had performed this in one of my high school cover bands when it was a new song, and Brenda had also sung it at her graduation, so we both had history with and love for this song. The lyrics are more poignant with the passing of time. "Old friends getting older." Brenda and I have been singing together for over 25 years, so it was fun to perform this song, both with and as, an old friend. Let's give it up for Brenda!
I hope you enjoy this acoustic arrangement. The stomp helps on this one when doing it solo. Using it during the choruses allows me to play a less percussive style in those passages, to emulate more of what the synths were doing. And watch out for the 7/4 (at least that's how I interpreted it). Every time the chorus riff happens, it's in 7. And the middle instrumental section and the last build up are also in 7. Good luck and have fun.
Love,
-Mike

Brenda will be joining me at my show in Portland, OR, on April 18, 2020. For concert dates and ticket info: *mikemasse.com/concerts* Thank you for the Likes, Comments, and Shares. ❤️
Only one canadian show montreal? No west coast shows Vancouver bc , ?
Was going to comment on how nice a few western Canadian would be. Either way good luck and will be checking out more of your tasty work
She's the singer who covered Linger right?
@@ricimercury9490 yes
Would love to hear a cover of The Grapes of Wrath song "All the things I wasn't"
Anyone else still hear the drum track in their head?
LOL, All the way through...
Of course! ☺️
Absolutely! I'm playing air drums
On every single song they had
Always.
I'm 58 and this song holds more relevance with every passing year. Very well rendered.
Perhaps the most beautiful song Rush has ever done and the most meaningful lyrics Neil Peart ever wrote. It makes my cry every time I hear it and this wonderful cover is no exception to that rule.
Me too every time
"Hold Your Fire" is a bring you back from the darkest depths type of album.
Since buying the CD back in high school around 1991, I always find new meaning in the songs as I grow older. Classic album.
Witch-hunt... fantastic song.
Agree! I never understood haters for particular era of Rush - I always loved this particular song the lyrics are really beautiful and Neil uses some awesome twists on idioms and homophones My favorite:
Summers going fast
Nights growing colder
Children growing up
Old friends growing older...
Damn got something in my eye. Rush is great in all eras imo and I liked Hold Your Fire. Guess in minority.
All these wounds cant get Un-"wound".....Idiom: Time and Tide wait for no man, Neil REVERSES it has captain beached waiting FOR Tide--Neil will always be a genius, this song is beautiful IMO and I like addition of Aimees falsetto (imagine the guys mentioned originally Cyndi Lauper or Chrissie Hynde for the part--both great singers wonder what that would have sounded like!). Power Windows and this were my intro to Rush so I like these albums despite haters and of course my entry into rest of their catalog, former and later. I never saw them as "pop" sellouts which I heard at time from some others re: HYF.
This song is starting to hit a little too close to home as I get older and watch my kids grow up..
You cannot duplicate the sound of a GREAT Ovation!
It really is ridiculous how fast it goes once you are raising kids.
Hitting closer to the heart, is it?
Don’t blink!
One of my kids once asked me if I ever felt jealous of any other women. Immediately “Aimee Mann” popped into my mind, because she got to sing with Rush. 😂 Thanks, Mike, for letting me sing this with you! Still a highlight!
And you were perfect. Thanks.
You were wonderful in this and The Cranberries' Dreams!
You crushed it! Thank you.
I really enjoyed your performance! Beautiful vocals and great playing! I grew up listening to Rush and continue enjoying their music.
You and Mike crushed this song!
The boys would be proud. RIP Neil.
Almost never that a acoustic cover stands up against the original. This one does it!! So amazing. So intens. So much energy. So much beauty. So much passion. Tears in my eyes... Amazing!🙏❤️
I sure hope Geddy and Alex have seen this video...Brenda and Mike capture it perfectly. A near perfect tribute.
I can see Geddy get that smile on his face.
Let’s hear it for Brenda..... 👏👏
She has a lovely voice. And......she's lovely.
Her Linger cover is better than original. Love her! ❤️
@@waspoza I just listened to it (the Linger cover). Magical. thanks for mentioning it.
Well done! Aimee Mann has an unusual voice and she captures it well.
They have a good voice together. But wow she is great.
He nails those high notes like a Boss! Well done.
Ken Allen Amen!
Like a .....Geddy ?
His vocal is even higher pitched than Geddy's.
A good friend of mine was a big RUSH fan and he really loved this song. He passed away a couple months ago, he was only 52. Every time I hear this now it reminds of him, the lyrics really hit home. One thing may father always to me when I was growing up “Time waits for no man”.
My daughter was 3 years old in her car seat while I was driving blasting rush. After this song was over she said “ play that sing again daddy “
Now at 18 she loves this version more and so do I.
love Rush.
So thank you again for this genius cover of a great song
sweet story-thanks!
Rush are rock and roll legends. I’m almost 50 years old and have been listening to them since I was 12. Your cover is one of the if not the best I’ve ever heard. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Wonderful. Wonderful.
Yep. Up here in the Great White North, he's known as Mike Mass, eh?
I’m from Brazil and I’m 45 years old. I listen Rush since I was 4 or 5, by my oldest brother’s influence. Mike made the best Rush cover ever, just as the other covers he does. This guy is simply amazing! 🤩👏
Sim. Na minha opinião é uma das melhores bandas!!! Vida longa ao Rush 👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
same
I have to say that's one of the best rush covers I've heard ever.
Totally agree!
Completely heart-felt.
No doubt; they did a great job!!!
Incredible
So few people know and actually listen and understand what this song is trying to say. For my 50th birthday the only thing I asked of my family is to listen to this song and read the lyrics.
This is a legit cover of the greatest band ever. Well done!
Great cover. This song is one of the few that brings a tear to my eye. RIP Neil.
Sonorous it brought a tear to my eye as well. Before Neil’s passing it gave me goosebumps.
It's bittersweet for me.
Check out the army band cover ...
Can I just claim allergies?
Those 3 dislikers got no soul. This was great. Absolutely great.
like Big Money.
Those were Bieber fans.😂
Those 3 don’t got big money either
This is wonderful both of you. I am a big Rush fan and was gutted when Neil died. Then my dad died very suddenly on February 4th. He was 67 like Neil. You brought a smile and some happy tears to me. Thank you both.
Very sorry for your loss.
May your dad Rest In Peace 🙏
Meus sentimentos.
How good is this..so so beautiful,just turned 59 couple of days ago..been listening to Rush since 16.
Thankyou so much,,just haunting
Love from Australia
Hey John, Happy Birthday 2024. Hope you’re doing well. Lifelong Rush fan here.
Been a Rush fan since the 8th grade back in the early 80s. I remember when this song was first released later in the decade. Singing along to each word, wondering how life might be decades later. And here we are. I will be 50 in June. My best friend's daughter will be 20. She was born 6 weeks after he died from cancer barely past his 31st birthday in 2001. We had been friends for 20 yrs beforehand having met in the 5th grade (1981, he sat behind me to cheat on spelling test. Got caught. Lol) he was my best man at my wedding when I was 28, and i was his the following year in 1999. To listen to this song all the way through is sometimes excruciating to the point I will skip it when random play brings it up on my playlist rather than endure the loss all over again, unless I'm driving to somewhere without much traffic. I can pull over and stop on the side of the road until I'm able to see through the tears enough to drive on, and do so again and again if need be. Time will always stand still with those memories.
Sorry for your loss. I graduated high school in 83 lol.
I've a Rush Fans since the 80's and I have to say this cover is beyond awesome! Rush is a hard band to cover and make it sound good! But, some how you did it here! Well Done!
I've been a Rush fan since I first dropped the needle on "Bastille Day", on the 14th of July, 1976, and I second your comment.
One of the best songs of our time, cuts right to the heart of the human condition. It only gets more relevant with age. Lovely cover, thanks for sharing!
Summers going fast
Nights growing colder
Children growing up
Old Friends growing older
Anthem for the Autumn of life.
Beautiful Mike and Brenda.
I listen to a lot of acoustic covers, but didn't expect to find a RUSH acoustic cover. So when this came up on my YT feed, I was immediately curious. And oh boy, what an AMAZING cover. Besides the awesome vocal performances, I felt the beauty is also in its simplicity - no attempted flourishes or trying to compensate for lack of the full sound. Just perfect. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@Vikas Tandon - If you enjoy acoustic covers, you REALLY need to check out this Rush cover (Subdivisions) by Jacob Moon. It is impressive. (By the way...not trying to take away from Mike Masse's cover of Time Stands Still which is well done.)

My sentiments, exactly. I watched this expecting it to be humorously mediocre. Boy, was I wrong.
Mike, you have given me the gentle shove I needed to go buy me a Taylor or Martin acoustic. I look forward to seeing you in Cincinnati this September.
Yes, it was perfect. But it needed drums. RIP Mr P.
You may also like Phil Jakes' fingerstyle covers, such as this one of La Villa Strangiato, of all things: ua-cam.com/video/4V7Rki0ifrY/v-deo.html
I found out about this guy the same way glad I did
I never really listened to the words, in todays current world they ring true. RIP Mr Drums.
VERY hard to make a RUSH fan happy with a cover, but you not only did it, you exceeded my greatest expectations. Spot on, all of it. And a great tribute to the band, and The Professor.
Love how Mike does the song(s) to sound like the point of the original without being exact copies. Sounds like the song and sounds like Mike Masse. So good.
His vocal range is PERFECT for this tribute! Brenda is the perfect accompaniment...
Not only is this an epic cover, the timing of the guitar playing and the singing between you two is some of the best I've ever heard
Can there be a better cover than this?! Doesn't seem possible. The talent is so off the charts I can listen to this over and over.
This is one of those songs that will live on forever and IMO it’s easily a top 5 song Rush ever made
Unbelievable job! There’s only one thing missing...... The Professor 😢
Dunsterman In a way, its fitting to do this with no drums.
This is beautiful- what incredible voices - Mike hitting those Geddy notes perfectly! And Brenda hitting the Aimee Mann part with that same dreamy effect - not to mention great guitar playing- so awesome!
The biggest compliment ever is that Mike is purely loved (besides the always negative people). Especially while doing covers you have these die hard fan bases but he nails every cover so good, that they even love it.
Such an underrated aspect. Cant wait to see you in Amsterdam in September
I'll never get tired of this. What a player! What a voice!!! What a F...fantastic!
And.now the rush fan base is crushing on Brenda. :) she’s fantastic and this duo sounds amazing.
I'd been a fan for over thirty years before I finally got to see them live, and when they opened with this (at full throated roar) I wept. Then Neil left early to beat the traffic and I wept again, only more. Thank you for honoring them and him with this. RIP Mighty Trommler
"Neil left early to beat the traffic...." 😥
I mean, right? Still reeling, honestly.
Big Rush fan. I never really got the full meaning of this song until now. WOW, great rendition. Neil was an amazing lyrisist that most people who were not into Rush just cant appreciate. Really well done.
This song touches more than any other Rush song. You guys did it justice. Beautiful rendition.
Nailed it!! Great harmony!! Not enough players out there that appreciate the sound of an Ovation!
This is definitely one of the best, if not the best vocal cover of Rush that I’ve heard! Bravo !!!❤️
Been a Rush fan since 1974. This is gorgeous.
My favorite Rush song by far, Awesome Job Mike, Neil would be proud..............
Beautiful cover -- really tough song to play and sing -- handled effortlessly! Hope the Stooges get a chance to see it. Neil Peart, the consummate time keeper so keenly aware of the importance of every moment of life: I heard him say that he asked him self every day, "what is the most excellent thing you can do today?!". Hearing this song reinterpreted so elegantly is a truly touching tribute to the life's work of this great man and band. Thank you.
Good harmonies between the two of you!
This sounds incredible! One of my favorite songs of all time
Well, that sideswiped me! I wasn't expecting to cry but boy, I most certainly did! So beautiful guys, thank you!
Happy to see a lot of great musicians covering this particular song in tribute to Neil, this is one of my favorites.
Hearing it like this makes you realize just how good Geddy became at writing vocal melodies.
Mike and Brenda, thank you for doing this tribute to Neil. You make the memories beautiful.
That was amazing! I got teary eyed thinking of Neil...
The singers range is incredible 👍
Mike have a perfect, beautiful high and clear voice and what a great backing by Brenda! 👌❤
Awesome, actually gave me goosebumps. Rolled the years back...
You are easily the best in the cover genre.
glad to see all the rush fans coming out of the woodwork.
Great, great job!!! SO MUSICAL!!
I've skipped over this video countless times before , thinking there's no way an acoustic cover could do the song justice.
Thankfully I was completely mistaken.
Excellent job to both of you.
This is what I want played at my funeral. Just like this.
I've got chills...RIP Neil Peart. Mike, thanks for keeping him with us
Simply thank you for sharing your beautiful gifts with us.
I lost yet another dear friend early in the morning on November 12th…
I need this song more every day . . .
R.I.P. Neil Peart, and thank you for 1976 and onward, your words deep in my spine, holding me up even now . . .
Chris……. I loved you!!!
so sorry for your loss 💔
Through this maddness we are enduring now all over the world, this will allways sound as a message of peace, wisdom and serenity ! May God give us his help to get out from this hell ...
Absolutely Fantastic rendition of a Classic song by a Legendary band. The unique sound produced by Geddy Lee's voice is so hard to not only duplicate but do any kind justice has made it impossible for covers to gain any interest. But Mike, your voice compliments Mr. Lee's eloquently and elevates it to the quality of a Dennis DeYoung or Steve Perry or Andrea Bocelli. And Brenda's voice is spot on and even elevates the quality of the original. Your voices compliment one another perfectly, harmonically. Great version of this great song.
Watch her and Mike cover Linger.
Great job, great harmony i had the pleasure of seeing RUSH LIVE 23 TIMES THEY ARE THE BEST BAND EVER RIP NEIL PEART 💙 😢 ❤
It has been three years since I first watched this, and I remember the feels back then. Rewatching it now, I can't think of a more appropriate song you could have picked for this tribute. Sending love.
Well I'll be jiggered.
You guys NAILED IT ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Congratulations Mike and Brenda. You really honored Neil Pearl with this cover!.
I skipped my senior prom to go to a Rush concert....and this was outstanding...
Great choice IMO
Brenda oh Brenda, that's so beautiful. Thanks, Mike! My mind just flew to the old video clip by Rush.
WOW Righteous version !!
WOW !!!! Nicely done ....love the vocals, and great playing !! ...Mr. Lee and Ms. Mann would be proud.....VERY NICE
Mike and Brenda........ Phenomenal!!!
Really aye. Saw them 8 times . Met GEDDY in a T.O. record shop. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦. They r part of my soul. What a RUSH.
Literally brought tears to my eyes...
wow the lyrics really hit you in the context of Neil passing not long ago.Brilliant song great cover.,
This old song has a whole new life since Neil's passing. I never knew it was that incredible till these great covers came out.
OUTSTANDING !!!!! I well up every time I listen to this song, as if Neil wrote it for/about me, the absolute GREATEST Rock drummer of all time - R.I.P.. Exceptional performance Mike, Brenda is Amy Mann when I close my eyes...
Mike, as a lifelong Rush fan? I want to thank you and Brenda for this. It is incredible.
WOW! Neil is smiling down from the cosmos. What a perfect cover. Love hearing Brenda again! Great job!!!!
Great performance! Beautiful vocals! I loved it!
Neil Peart. Wow! Music never gets old.
Incredible cover. RIP Neil Peart
That was sensational! Bravo guys! ❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorite Rush songs
OMG saw them 8 times. Absolute favourite band. 🇨🇦 . U did a very good job. R.I.P. Neil.
Now that I have hit my 62nd birthday, this song has more of an emotional impact on me that when it first came out 34 years ago. I'm glad I got to see Rush twice, first time in 1978, the second time in 2008. I wish time could stand still. Wow! Where did it go!
Ever since the passing of Peart, there have been quite a few good covers of this songs - the lyrics resonate with him. Great cover.
That was fantastic. Just added the drums in my head. Such a poignant song made even more so with Neil's death. Try to live each moment because no one knows when it may end.
Bravo Mike and Brenda,,Bravo__ Continued Success,,WOW,,,Hope Leif and Geddy get to hear this,,YOU BOTH NAILED IT !!! R.I.P. Neil,,,,Hope one day,you might make it to Buffalo NY,,,,Someone once commented that Xanadu was Rush's Best,But,,I Still Think Time Stand Still Will Always Be Played years and Years ahead,in reference to " Time " and all things it encompasses ,,Words,Melody,Harmony and Essence ,,,True music at it's Best !!! Rock On Mike !!! EXCELLENT !!! LR
Outstanding! Great cover! Brings out some emotion as i get older!!!! Rip Neil
You both did an amazing job on this song. This song still guts me today. Can’t listen to it without thinking how Neil opened up with his pen. Freeze this moment a little longer. 😢
Absolutely brilliant. Brought a tear to the eye. That never happens. Really really enjoyed that.
reaching to clear my face right now, damn this rendition was perfect.
What a beautiful cover of this Song. Thank you verry much.
I use to think of this song as a guilty pleasure but it's always been pleasure
Bela interpretação! Além da técnica é possível sentir a emoção na qual a dupla coloca nessa música. Parabéns pela homenagem!
Concordo 👊👏👏👏
Fabulous
Went to check out Mike`s legendary cover of Africa and he`s wearing a Rush shirt in that video so dude must be a true fan. This was a great cover
Really really love this version! Beautiful ❤
Really nice job.
Great vocals.
No complaints about anything.
Rush fans should be pleased.
