This song is lyricist-drummer Neil Peart talking about the pressures of living in the limelight and how one is supposed to act from a fan’s perspective and his line: “I can’t pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend” goes along way in explaining how an introvert had to live in an extroverted life.

Hello, Natural Science live. Absolutely mind blowing. Musically & lyrically. ✌🎸🥁❤‍🔥

[Gary-zqdr]

Great reaction. Loved it! Here are two Rush live performances that you'll love. 1. Working Man live in Cleveland. 2. Best Intro

[upwithgravity]

The transition you're noticing is the change in time signatures from verse to chorus and back.

Rush is the greatest🤘3 man group ever to walk the face of the earth..RIP Neil..🥁🎸🎵🎶😢

[debbieplato]

An excellent performance of a fantastic song! 💖💖💖

[fjhgh]

My favourite live version of this classic, check out Red Barchetta from the same live album, Exit Stage Left. Great reaction btw!

[imacmanx]

Rush were masters of transition, and making it sound smooth & seamless. A lot of that credit goes to Neil.

[roy]

saw Rush in the early days before their recording contracts, and many times of the greatest touring

[Fred-vyhm]

Damn near all of Neil's lyrics are thought provoking and surprisingly still relevant decades after he wrote them

[gimlias]

This concert from Exit Stage Left was shown on TV maybe MTV when I was 12 and I've been hooked ever since! Great reaction! Check out Xanadu live from the same concert or Digital Man live guys are a little older but still awesome!

The movie in question is I love you, Man! ( 2009 ).
The band plays this in the movie.

[Goodtimes]

A little known secret is that it's really Geddy's hair that directs the music.

[lindaward]

Neil wrote the lyrics here as an intimate portrait of his discomfort with life in the public eye, and I absolutely love how Geddy's vocals and the instrumental composition bring it to life. As mentioned above, he was an introvert, as I am, whose traits are commonly misinterpreted as shyness, but simply reflect our need for time to ourselves to recharge our mental energy, and our preference to establish a meaningful connection with someone before we can feel comfortable allowing them into our personal space; he also struggled with anxiety issues stemming from a near-drowning incident at the age of 10. If you'd like to see another amazing performance from Neil and his bandmates, featuring more excellent guitar work from Alex, I recommend Freewill, which can also be found on Exit Stage Left. Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦

I have this on dvd. A lot of RUSH songs are in movies 🍿 🎥 I remember watching Rob Zombie’s Halloween they played Tom Sawyer as a trucker was at a truck stop and got out went into the bathroom where he was killed by Michael Meyers!

[agdtec]

Entralled is another good word to being drawn into the performance.

[ltdan]

Weird seeing the video flipped, with Geddy and Alex seemingly playing left-handed

[stevehill]

This song was also on "I love you Man!"

[billdemotte]

"All the world's indeed a stage
We are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience outside the gilded cage"

[jeffstokes]

THIS is definitely one a their best / a Perfectly crafted song. Now if you wouldn't mind reacting to the studio track for 'Limelight', you could quite likely get an even better Feeling, Understanding, and Love for the tune. ✌️
