00:01:43 - Neil Perk was born in 1952 in Ontario, Canada.
00:02:02 - The son of a middle-class family that had never been involved with music.
00:02:07 - He had contact for the first time with the drums at the age of 13, an instrument that helped him to face his shyness and inhibition.
00:02:15 - Neil was, a lover of reading, he spent a large part of his days with the works of Ray

00:02:24 - His adolescence was spent in the search for bands that would allow him to live on his vocation music.
00:02:30 - In those years of youth in Canada, he was part of some progressive rock bands but and none of them did he get the least amount of recognition he wanted.
00:02:39 - Neal knew that, the cradle of rock was far from cold Ontario, so when he was just 18 years old, he decided to go to London to try his luck to consolidate himself in some group that would give him growth in the environment.
00:02:52 - In the English capital, luck did not change, although the early 70s were accompanied by an emerging situation in the world of rock, Neal could not find promising contacts because of his, difficulty in getting on.
00:03:07 - The situation led him to return to his homeland to work in his father's farm shop.
00:03:37 - My uncle has a country place no one knows about
00:03:55 - He says it used to be a farm before the motor lost
00:04:02 - Down Sundays I lose the icing of the term I'm great to
00:04:09 - Tomorrow's side the wire, wear my white head, I'll go away
00:04:32 - Young to the ground as the turbo slows to cross the borderline
00:04:40 - Rumble in as excitement shears up and down my spine
00:04:47 - The downing is fun, I am the preserve of me and old machine
00:04:53 - But we see our years to keep it as new as being its dearest dream
00:05:01 - I strip away the old debris and hide the shining car
00:05:09 - There's a billion red bar jets out from a better vanished time
00:05:16 - We'll fire up the willing engine responding with a roar
00:05:22 - Tires fisting rubble like a netmine we keep crying
00:05:59 - I've changed her
00:06:10 - Well, never, never, I've met an annoyed ascended country air
00:06:17 - Sunlight I'm blind, but you're a landscape everywhere
00:06:29 - Yeah
00:06:31 - Yeah
00:06:33 - Yeah
00:06:35 - Yeah
00:06:37 - Yeah
00:06:39 - Yeah
00:06:41 - Yeah
00:06:43 - Yeah
00:06:45 - Yeah
00:06:47 - Yeah
00:06:49 - Sun be ahead of me, across the mountainside
00:07:04 - Eight living gallo-haggers shoot towards me, to lane-dry
00:07:11 - Rise and run, we're shrinking tiles, run the deadly race
00:07:17 - Don't scream into the body as another joins the chains
00:07:24 - Like a wind, straining the lips of a cheat and man
00:07:50 - Laughing out loud with fear and hope
00:07:54 - I've got a desperate way
00:07:56 - At the one-way bridge I leave the giant
00:08:00 - Standing at the riverside
00:08:03 - Race back to the farm
00:08:06 - To dream with my young soul at the quiet side
00:08:50 - Yeah.
00:09:19 - In 1974, Neil pertrand the family business and only played as a hobby.
00:09:25 - For his part, Russia's founding drummer, John Rutzie, was leaving the band for personal reasons after the band's first self-titled album.
00:09:34 - Therefore bassist and vocalist Jetty Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson found it necessary to find a drummer to join their ambitious power trio.
00:09:43 - We knew there was a rare guy who was very technical on drums, so we decided to audition said Jetty Lee prior to his hiring. Neilpert joined Rush and Fly By Night was the first studio album he recorded. Massive success eluded the group until 1981, where the album
00:10:01 - Moving Pictures, in a more hard rock style, was the one that catapulted them to fame and recognition in the press. Once the more conceptual and atmospheric works of the late 1970s were left behind, the new decade greeted them with greater popularity in
00:10:17 - United States. Neil's shyness continued so much that, beyond being the main lyricist for Russia's songs, he was always distant from his peers. On tours he was the only one reluctant to give autographs or take pictures with fans. In 2010, Jetty Lee remarked, No matter how many years Neil spends in the band, he will always be the new kid. In 1997, with more than two decades of experience and more than a dozen albums released. His only daughter died in a car accident. As if that were not enough, a few months after this event, Neil's wife died of cancer, so the group decided to take a stand off.
00:11:01 - I would expect that it all comes down to a kind of restlessness, because when people talk about boredom, for example, I can honestly say I've never been bored for a second in my life, but I've always found another way not to be. And if I have to go go to medical appointments, I'm gonna bring a book with me.
00:11:15 - So that waiting is not gonna be a hardship.
00:11:17 - But the early days of touring, when all that dead time was hanging on me, reading, portable, useful, nurturing, all that stuff.
00:11:23 - So I think I come back, you learn to adapt to your own personality.
00:11:28 - And the extremes do come in there to you.
00:11:31 - I wanted to read every book ever written.
00:11:34 - Drumming-wise, my determination was more important than talent early on.
00:11:40 - I think for most things, you do have to have a bit of a knack, but I had to work so hard to learn so many things, but I was relentless in terms of determination.
00:11:49 - And with traveling, when I've got a day,
00:11:51 - I am tempted by what's the most excellent thing I can do, which might be way too far, way too long, but I'm gonna go for that because it's the most excellent thing I can do.
00:12:00 - And with writing, it just seems unstinting in the same way because I just kind of know when I've done my best on it and maybe an editor can help make it better and maybe somebody else could have written it better, but I have a good built-in sense of this is the best I can do.
00:12:42 - I let my skin get to the things
00:12:45 - I'd like to part
00:12:47 - No matter what I've obtained
00:12:50 - Like some philogram
00:12:52 - That's what Tramp's in
00:12:54 - Learns to live as a stepward being
00:13:06 - Time leaves the house still

00:13:21 - Time stands still
00:13:26 - Freeze this moment a little bit longer
00:13:33 - Make each sensation a little bit stronger
00:13:40 - Experience slips away
00:13:47 - Experience slips away
00:13:52 - Times stand still
00:13:57 - To my face to the sun
00:14:00 - Close my eyes
00:14:02 - Let my defenses down
00:14:05 - All these wounds that I can't get around
00:14:11 - I let my path go too fast
00:14:14 - No time to pause
00:14:16 - If I could slow it all down
00:14:19 - Like some captain
00:14:20 - She runs around
00:14:22 - I can wait until the tide comes around
00:14:27 - Tell me who's gonna stay
00:14:30 - I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me back
00:14:34 - Tell me, it's not as though
00:14:37 - I see more of the people than the places that surround me now
00:14:45 - I freeze this moment a little bit longer
00:14:51 - Making sensation a little bit stronger
00:14:56 - My kitchen pressure a little stronger
00:15:03 - Raise this motion a little bit longer
00:15:10 - The innocent slips away
00:15:17 - The innocent slips away
00:15:24 - Times stand still Times stand still
00:15:54 - I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me now
00:16:12 - I see more of the people than the places that surround me now

00:16:43 - Breeze is falling

00:16:47 - Maybe it's sensation, a bit stronger
