NEW WORLD MAN	Geddy Lee	1982	21	VIDEO	[I] Structurally, the song essentially follows a standard verse-chorus-verse-chorus pattern in the absence of a guitar solo. The song's lyrics, by contrasting a New World Man with that of one from the Old World and Third World, apparently refer to the need for Canadians and Americans, as their nations take their societal and political place in the 21st century, to learn from the experiences of European and Third World nations.

TOM SAWYER	Geddy Lee	1981	44	VIDEO	[I] The song was written by Lee, Peart, and guitarist Alex Lifeson in collaboration with Canadian lyricist Pye Dubois (the lyricist of Max Webster), who also co-wrote other Rush songs such as "Force Ten," "Between Sun and Moon," and "Test For Echo." "Tom Sawyer" came about during a summer rehearsal holiday that Rush spent at Ronnie Hawkins' farm outside Toronto. Peart was presented with a poem by Dubois named "Louis the Lawyer" (often cited as "Louis the Warrior") that he modified and expanded. Lee and Lifeson then helped set the poem to music. (Wikipedia) W

RELATIONSHIPS

Geddy Lee / Alex Lifeson / Neil Peart
Lee, Lifeson and Peart were friends through the years. Lee and Lifeson knew each other since grade 9. Peart did not join until the second album. They are all famous for being private people. They liked being recognized for their work, but did not like the fan worship. Keeping their privacy was the reason they did not appear on any album covers through the years. Peart wrote most of the band's lyrics after joining, with Lee and Lifeson concentrating on the music.
