Sure, but I was already a sophomore in college then (1975-76).Originally posted by Fishhead

"Trees" is my favorite Rush song.
It's kinda cool to share the meaning of that song with other oldies rock fans that have listened to the song all of their lives but never thought about what the lyrics meant.
Though it seems to be steeped in meaning, according to lyricist/drummer Neil Peart, there is no meaning at all in this song. When asked in the April/May 1980 Modern Drummer magazine about whether there is a message to this song, Peart said, "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."
