"Animate" is a song by Canadian progressive rock band Rush. It was released as the fourth single from their 1993 album Counterparts. The song reached number 35 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart in 1994, staying on the charts for three weeks. The band's singer and bassist, Geddy Lee, said "I love 'Animate'. I think it’s one of the great songs we've done. There's something about the bestiality of that song, the insistence of it."
