Neil Ellwood Peart, O.C., né le 12 septembre 1952 à Hamilton, en Ontario, est un musicien et auteur canadien. Il est principalement connu pour être le batteur et le principal parolier du groupe de rock progressif Rush.

Son inspiration vient en grande partie des batteurs sur le devant de la scène britannique, comme Keith Moon et John Bonham. Au fur et à mesure des années, il oriente son style vers le jazz dans la lignée de Gene Krupa et Buddy Rich.

Neil Peart: Citations en anglais

“The world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy
But I worry about you
I know it makes no difference
To what you’re going through
But I see the tip of the iceberg
And I worry about you…
-- Distant Early Warning (1984)”

with your buildings and your eyes
Autumn woods and Winter skies.
You move me, you move me.

You call me, you call me.

“Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone

The pilot of 'Enola Gay'
Flying out of the shockwave on that August day
All the powers that be, and the course of history
Would be changed forevermore

“Some are born to move the world, to live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about the things we'd like to be
Sadder still to watch it die, then never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee…
-- Losing It (1982)”

Rush Lyrics

“Today is different, and tomorrow the same.
It's hard to take the world the way that it came.
Too many rapids keep us sweeping along.
Too many captains keep on steering us wrong.
It's hard to take the heat.
It's hard to lay blame.
To fight the fire, while we're feeding the flames.
-- Second Nature (1987)”

“Wheels can take you around.
Wheels can cut you down.
We can go from boom to bust.
From dreams to a bowl of dust.
We can fall from rockets' red glare, down to "Brother can you spare…"
Another war.
Another wasteland.
And another lost generation

“I set a course just east of Lyra
And northwest of Pegasus
Flew into the light of Deneb
Sailed across the Milky Way
On my ship, the 'Rocinante'
Wheeling through the galaxies
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
Headlong into mystery
