A cool Rush song from thier 1984 album Grace Under Pressure. It is one of the album's few songs to feature Lifeson upfront insted of having Geddy's synth take the lead.

I've been a drummer for 15 years. 7 yrs as a guitarist, now I understand what it means to write the perfect part for a song, to fit in well, to play the atmospheric tones. It's rush songs like this one that reaffirm to me what it means to be an all around amazing musician, and i mean that from the writing stages to the performances. Lifeson is amazing at what he does. Sad that he often gets pushed to the side while drummers love Neil and bassist love geddy. Lifeson's tones and wiriting = gold
