Rush - Fly By Night Lyrics
Why try? I know why
The feeling inside me says it's time I was gone
Clear head, new life ahead
It's time I was king now -- not just one more pawn
Fly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye my dear
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
Moon rise, thoughtful eyes
Staring back at me from the window beside
No fright or hindsight
Leaving behind that empty feeling inside
Start a new chapter
Find what I'm after
It's changing every day
The change of a season
Is enough of a reason
To want to get away
Quiet and pensive
My thoughts apprehensive
The hours drift away
Leaving my homeland
Playing a lone hand
My life begins today
[Chorus]

I like this performance. Canadian rockers at their best!
For all of us who are still hurting, these words have always given comfort. Hope it helps.
Gandalf says in The Return of the King, "End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain curtains of this world roll back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it... White shores... And beyond... A far green country under a swift sunrise." I'm sure Neil is on that beach, watching the sunrise with all his music playing in the background. God Bless You Mr. Peart. We love and miss you.

*RIP NEIL PEAT*
You gotta love this. It's lip sung but They are playing the song just like they did in the studio. Amazing!
Three guys make that kind of sound unbelievable RUSH
Rest in Peace Neil Peart. You were truly an inspiration.
R.i.p Neil Peart te agradezco por esta gran musica y toda la banda... por que esta cancion me dejo marcado de por vida... al escucharla mis oidos me llevaron a un mundo inimaginable y unico en la musica... es mi cancion preferida de todas junto con Freewill lml Rush por siempre!!! Tu nunca moriras Neil te llevamos en el alma!!! 🤟🥁🎸
every word is exact
RIP Neil Peart.. Please know that ALL drummers that came after you were influenced by your masterful techniques, including R&B African Americans.
Dang Neil ..... thanks for some of the best beats and spanking those skins ✌🏼. RIP
I lost my best friend James to cancer couple of mths ago, I hope they're jamming together In the big yonder.
Saying good bye is getting harder every day
Rip my friend
Peart's drum kit when he ended his musical career is 3-4 times bigger than the one in this video!!!
Geddy is such a weird looking bloke.
Left video after seeing the drummers Jesus piece
One of my favorites. And I was not a big Rush fan. The total musicianship is fantastic. And the singer aint half bad either.
Interesting drum kit
3 floor drums
No small accent cybal (yet)
Proudly Canadian 🥁🇨🇦
They really went all out on budget here.
Geddy has the face for radio.
Wow. Amazing in 2020...
RIP Neil Peart, what a HUGE loss :((( RUSH4ever

Listening to songs like Fly By Night and Time Stand Still and reading the lyrics, it’s almost eerie how prophetic Neil was in writing them back when he did. Even in his Ghost Rider book he describes how an owl sat outside his hotel window one night looking at him inside the room...just like in the song Fly By Night. Neil, you are missed...thanks for the music that we can listen to forever.

Honest respect for these Christians
Wow that's one annoying vocalist.
This was the first time I heard Rush. Started a 30yr love affair. The best part is... It was 1990 when my buddy's step dad introduced me to Rush. As a 13yr old then.... Neil melted my brain!! And continued to do so since 1990. Thank you for everything Rush. I love you!!!
life will not be the same with out the best drummer ever
Absolute masters of there trade of musicianship period! Seen them in 1982 Seattle Coliseum and in Phoenix AZ around 1999. Damn lucky too.
Underated album
I lost track of how much poon I got blaring this out of my mobile home. #chickmagnet #lifechoices
"I never wanted to be famous. I wanted to be good."- Neil Peart. Mission accomplished. Rest easy Professor.
Missed not forgottenRIP
Neil had a sweet mullet back then.
I can't stand Geddy Lee's vocals.
São unicos
Gone but not forgotten-Neal Peart-Keep Rocking in heaven!
When aliens try dmt
They see this guys playing music
If you put a witches hat on Geddy, he'd look just like the wicked witch of the west! Love Rush tho!
It's hard to argue with perfection. See you later Neil
Literally the first song I spent the time to learn how to play all the way through on the bass and sing when I was 15. Still my favorite RUSH song at 51.
Goodbye Neil---RIP!
Seriously out of all the good music videos they have and the corny 80s ones too lol. this is the best imo.
Much love and respect to Rush .
Getty looks like Yoko's brother
Why is PEART wearing red and black with that cross on his neck ? Could it be for SATAN
What kind of bozo gives this a thumbs down?? Unbelievable.
Total Genius! I saw them in 1978 at municipal auditorium S.A.TX.
Btw the song is gud I give it 11 out of 10
RIP Neil you gonna live forever in our memories
am i the only one who think tom hanks could play neil peart in a movie about neil peart
My childhood heroes are all retiring. RIP
Just watch how Peart twirls those sticks.
I hope he lives with the gods in the place he deserves to be.
I think that this song was really a foresight of Moving Pictures.
First example from Peart of a drum part as it's own melody
What year was this made? 72'? Does anybody know?
I always wondered why Neil wore a cross in this and the Anthem video. Maybe he was still searching for his faith. He became a devout atheist later on.
Greatness on every level.
the world was let to learn }
Fly By Night goodbye my dear. Says it all. What a drummer.
Magical! RIP Neil💖💖💖💖💖
Been listening to Rush since the 70's. RIP
We're all just hanging out missing Neil.😞
only Neil Peart can rock a mullet and still look good. RIP legend
Just try not to sing along to this. Good luck.
And the 1.3k 👎 boo
I love how Neil Peart was a stick twirler early on. My opinion the goat of drumming hands down.
It was weird seeing Neil behind a kit
Rush rules, always love a great 3 piece band, they were one of the best...awesome video.
Get a pick and a guitar,chances are you're going far,if you get in with the right bunch of fellows.
BTO quote,so here's your proof.
Such amazing talent and music....
esta bien
This video takes me back and was the first time I heard the "new guy " in the band who knew that new guy would take drumming to the next level as well as bring kick ass lyrics to the music .
We have lost so many classic rockers we grew up with lately but when I heard of Neil Pearts passing , I was shocked .
Everytime a musician I grew up listening dies I feel like a piece of me dies as well .
Music is the sound track of our lives and when we hear a classic song we are right back to when we first heard it .
Rush was the first "rock band" I followed , first rock t shirt I owned , seen them 5 times , and basically grew up on the band .
If you were a fan of Pearts drumming you already knew what a great talent and person he was but as sad as losing him is , the out pouring of love for him since his passing has been so awesome to see .
R.I.P. Neil !
RIP Legend

RIP Niel Peart
You will be missed, your in drum heaven
My favorite rush song of all time.
I am from USA and will Neil will be number 1
I haven't listened to enough Rush.
Where is this clip from? A tv show or is it just a promo film?
RIP Neil Peart. Your music and lyrics influence my life. Love you. Love Rush!
Napoleon dynamite? NO it's just Erik 😄👍a double base kit ? Was Neil a pioneer of the double base kit ? Come to think of it i never paid attention to video's until MTV📡
Rest in peace Neil Peart , you are one of my all-time . Rock and Roll heaven awaits for the greats
Neil looks so young in this video!
Rip Mr Peart
Almost a week since horrible news and I’m still feeling empty and numb. Especially hard watching Neil here as much younger man pounding crap out of his drums. Hard to accept that he’ll never do this again.
I didn't see this one coming. I'm at a loss for words. FLY HIGH NEIL.
Thank you Neil for all the beautiful music you created throughout the years, you will be missed dearly, a Rush fan - tommy.
RIP to one of the Rock Drummer Holy Trinity members! He has ascended to heaven and joined his equals Keith Moon and John Bonham.
for everyone saying Neil "will be missed" .... he was already being missed terribly 3 seconds after that damn news broke 😔😔😔
Good bye the first ever rock drummer to be a Christian
Awesome! So cool to listen to all the cool classic Rush tracks!
Fly by Night and Rest in Peace Neal Peart... So tragic and sad...
Neil Peart to drummers is what Jimi Hendrix to guitarists is. That's how hard this one hit but it hit me hard even though I'm not a drummer. He's still a huge influence on me.
Hurt us writers as well 😭
From the beginning to my end, RUSH ROCKS. LOVE ALWAYS, from Cleveland, oHIo!!!
