Pretty much the entire audience laughed at Helix after about thirty seconds of their awfulness. I could see how someone could sell a couple of tons of pot if Helix headlined a show. The whole crowd would all be standing outside of the venue looking for something to do. PS There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the maples scream `oppression!` And the oaks, just shake their heads |

When I was 13, they made me read a book called "Animal Farm", it seemed clever to me. When I heard this Rush song, it sounded familiar to me. Putting the two together, the Rush song sounds like the creation of a precocious 13 year old.

http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/modern-drummer-04.1980.php Did that particular song's lyrics cover a deeper social message? No. It was just a flash. I was working on an entirely different thing when I saw a cartoon picture of these trees carrying on like fools. I thought, "What if trees acted like people?" So I saw it as a cartoon really, and wrote it that way. I think that's the image that it conjures up to a listener or a reader. A very simple statement. |
