Closer To The Heart

I've been going back and forth between my best friend from highschool, Kris.  I sent him the "Trailer Park Boys" link.  He said, "Check out season 3 episode 5".

In this episode Bubbles gets to be Alex Lifeson's guitar tech... and the show ends with Bubbles playing "Closer To The Heart" with Alex Lifeson.

I know it sounds stupid... but I burst into tears (which is a once in three to five year event) when they started playing the song

Here are the lyrics:

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
 
Philosophers and ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
 
You can be the captain
I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart
To art class tomorrow... I don't know if even Kim can understand how into Rush I was back in the day... it's probably stupid...

The captains, iron workers, artists, philosophers... sailing...

It just won't make sense, will it... but for now, today, it does :,-)

It's on.

To Mars.  To Mars.  That's right.  To Mars!!!

I'll draw the chart.

One of my favorite Rush songs...I listened to the Hemispheres album again this week...it is timeless.

I told Kaley how much you loved Rush growing up. That is your song...help sew a new mentality.

As a gardener, Kim, and somebody who corrects my spelling, it's "sow", not "sew" :P
