Aimee Mann from the group 'Til Tuesday sang backing vocals and appeared in the music video. Geddy Lee said in a promotional interview from 1988: "We knew that the part she sings on was a feminine part. We didn't want to use a keyboard or have Alex or myself sing it, so we started looking for a female singer. It's a very attractive opportunity for us to work with a female singer. We just looked until we found a voice, that was suitable. In listening to Aimee's last record, we loved the way she sang, so we just asked her."
Neil Peart (1988): "My first idea was to write about time and the first song I wrote was 'Time Stand Still.' But the more I thought about it and played around with the ideas, the more expanded idea of temperamental barriers took shape. 'Time Stand Still' applies to that concept in that it deals with the attitude of enjoying life and not letting it whisk by without appreciating it."
