One can never go wrong with a little Tom Sawyer by RUSH! Neil Peart said of the song: Tom Sawyer was a collaboration between myself and Pye Dubois, an excellent lyricist who wrote the lyrics for Max Webster. His original lyrics were kind of a portrait of a modern day rebel, a free-spirited individualist striding through the world wide-eyed and purposeful. I added the themes of reconciling the boy and man in myself, and the difference between what people are and what others perceive them to be - namely me I guess. From the pedia: The unique growling sound heard in the song came from Lees fiddling with his Oberheim OB-X synthesizer. Tom Sawyer begins in 4/4 before switching to 7/8 and 13/16 in the instrumental section. When the instrumental section ends, it returns to 4/4 before changing again to 7/8 for the outro. Truly a Prog masterpiece. When I first heard it, I didnt really like it, but its now one of my #Rush favorites! How does this song rank among your Rush favorites? - Alfredo youtu.be/auLBLk4ibAk
