Alex Lifeson's Envy of None project vocalist Maiah Wynne recently posted a video of herself covering Rush's Tears off of 2112; a song she has been performing on her current tour. You can check out the cover below or on YouTube. Here are Maiah's comments from her Instagram post announcing the cover:

A little acoustic cover of Tears by Rush. A really beautiful song. I love playing it on my harp guitar - full version is up on my YouTube channel. I had fun playing this last night in St. Louis at the Pageant. Can't wait to see you all on the road! Touring across the US all of April. Tickets still available ❤️❤️
