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 Thanks to Wild Dog Stomp for the stomp pedal I'm using: Thanks to Ovation guitars for my Ovation Custom Legend, made in the .
