Now, don't know how to say it, but.... I didn't know the song
yeah, shame on me, the truth is that you can't really listen to *everything*, so even the major staples sometimes are missed out.
Still, this gave me a chance to listen to the song with fresh years! And if you'd have told me this was a long forgotten and rare track that DT did when Portnoy was in the band, I would have totally believed. The instrumental intro to the song reminded me a LOT of DT, Six Degrees era! Of course this works the other way around - it's DT that got inspired by the feel and mood of Rush, so this transpires in their songwriting, but while the sung section is definitively not DT, the instrumental intro felt a lot like it.
