Afterimage was written as a tribute to an engineer and friend of the band who died back in the 80's . So sad the end has come to one of my favorite bands. RIP Neil and i am so sick of cancer.

Your welcome. Neil and Rush have had a tremendous place in my heart for a very long time. Wish I didn't have to write the tribute for another 30 years! But sadly, "we're only immortal, For a limited time" - Peart - Dreamline - Rush.

I didn't know the backstory on that song, thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I assumed a lot of Space.com fans were Rush fans as well, so I am happy that it was able to reach you. This story and so many other tributes from publications and social media were widely viewed. A true testament of Neil's incredible talent and contribution to society. You will be missed Neil but your legacy will live on!
