But at the start of the 80s, the band encapsulated their complex musical ideas and progressive sounds into one of the most iconic classic rock tracks of all time &#8211; \u201cTom Sawyer\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rush were formed in Toronto in 1968, when childhood friends, guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer John Rutsey decided to form a band with another local teenager, Jeff Jones. But when Jones missed the newly named band\u2019s second gig, Lifeson enlisted the help of schoolmate Gary Weinrib to take over lead vocals and bass for the performance. Weinrib ended up remaining with the group, adopting the stage name of Geddy Lee. The band went through several lineups in their early years, as they toured locally and struggled to obtain a record deal. They formed their own record label, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moon Records, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and recorded their first single (a cover of the Buddy Holly song \u201cNot Fade Away\u201d) in 1973. The band\u2019s self-titled first album was released in March of 1974, and caught both the attention of the Canadian public and Mercury Records.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shortly after signing with Mercury, Rutsey left the band &#8211; a void which was quickly and iconically filled by Neil Peart. In addition to his skills as a drummer, Peart brought his talents as a lyricist. His style of writing matched perfectly with the increasingly complex musical material explored by his bandmates.\u00a0 Lee told UGO entertainment:\u00a0 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;As our tastes got more obscure\u2026.we discovered more progressive rock-based bands like Yes, Van der Graaf Generator and King Crimson, and we were very inspired by those bands. They made us want to make our music more interesting and more complex and we tried to blend that with our own personalities to see what we could come up with that was indisputably us.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The band explored a wide range of sound, topics and even song lengths, as the band rose in popularity across the decade. However, it was in 1981, with the release of their 8th studio album, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving Pictures, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and its opening track \u201cTom Sawyer\u201d that the Rush were able to rise to legendary, \u201cclassic rock\u201d status.\u00a0 \u201cTom Sawyer\u201d blended together the band\u2019s complex creative impulses into a 4 \u00bd minute rock classic, becoming a staple of not only the band\u2019s career but also a defining track of the classic rock canon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/T8RjSVD7iKM\">Download the Guitar Tab for Tom Sawyer over at Six String Alliance<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTom Sawyer&#8221; employed the creative compositional talents of all three of Rush\u2019s members, Lee, Peart and Lifeson, in collaboration with lyricist Pye Dubois.\u00a0 The band had met Dubois through the band Max Webster, with whom they had recently recorded the song \u201cBattle Scar.\u201d\u00a0 Lifeson recalled the friendship between both bands at the time: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThose guys were big friends of ours\u2026But Pye was a little mysterious \u2013 kind of a strange fellow! He was very quirky, a bit of a nut, but he did write great lyrics. And around 1980 he sent a poem to Neil with an idea to collaborate on a song. The original draft was called Louie The Warrior.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dubois&#8217; poem (based on the 1876 Mark Twain Classic <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Adventures of Tom Sawyer)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> inspired Peart to look inward, crafting a new draft which added an element of autobiography to the story. Peart explained in 1985: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHis 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 &#8211; namely me I guess.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the setting set in text for the song, the members of Rush began exploring different musical sounds to accompany it.\u00a0 Although the final product is a tightly composed creation, it developed in a completely new way for the band. Lifeson explained: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA lot of the material for that record was written off the floor. That was certainly the case with Tom Sawyer. We were rehearsing in a little farm outside of Toronto. Half the barn was a garage and half was a small rehearsal space. We would typically just go in and jam and develop songs that way.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The melody for the song actually came from some improvisations which Lee would play on his Oberheim OB-X synthesizer during soundchecks.\u00a0 The synth is also how he achieved the song\u2019s iconic \u201cgrowl\u201d sound.\u00a0 The song\u2019s sparse opening juxtaposed the synthesizer against Pearts hard-hitting drums, showcasing Lee\u2019s incredible vocal power. Lifeson said that choice was intentional:\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOn <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tom Sawyer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the synthesiser is such a key part of that song\u2026.There was a good integration between the three of us and the keyboards. We still had that trio feel. Plus, we always felt that we had to replicate each song as faithfully as possible when we played it live, so <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tom Sawyer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was written in that way. There\u2019s no rhythm guitar under the guitar solo or anything like that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/8lQ8NKJLLIk\">Watch the Full Performance of Tom Sawyer at Hop Pole Studios<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first instrumental section of the song transitions into the unusual realm of a 7\/8 time signature\u2026bringing in that added complexity which had defined the band in the years leading up the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving Pictures.\u00a0 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peart explained to CBC, that this iconic moment, was largely improvised: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe drum is so detailed, but when we go into the middle to the odd time part, it was improvised. I got lost and I punched my way out of it and somehow came back to the one. And that improvisation became a new part\u2026. It\u2019s one of those key parts that I love and it was absolutely a mistake that I just got lucky and got out of.\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All together, Rush managed to encapsulate their progressive, larger-than-life style into a relatively short length, classic song form.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTom Sawyer\u201d and the rest of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving Pictures <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">album was recorded and mixed at Le Studio in Morin Heights Quebec in October and November of 1980. It was produced by the band in conjunction with Terry Brown. Paul Northfield was the engineer on the album. All of the instrumental tracks and vocals on \u201cTom Sawyer\u201d were performed by the band. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving Pictures <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was released on February 12, 1981 by Anthem Records, showcasing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTom Sawyer\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as the album\u2019s opening track.\u00a0 The album hit #1 on the Canadian charts, and #3 on the US Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart. \u201cTom Sawyer&#8221; was released as a single in June of 1981, and although it did not peak as high on the singles charts as the album, it quickly became a staple of the band\u2019s live shows, and remains a defining track of classic rock radio.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to its lasting musical legacy, \u201cTom Sawyer\u201d has become a prominent fixture of popular culture, with now iconic appearances in television shows and films such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Futurama, The Goldbergs,<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I Love You Man, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Waterboy. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its pop-culture crossover appeal encouraged the writers for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Park <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to collaborate with Rush to write an introduction scene which the band would show on screens before performances of the song on their 2006 Live Tour.\u00a0 In the scene &#8211; projected on the jumbotrons &#8211; the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Park <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">characters would attempt to play the songs before breaking into a fight\u2026after which the members of Rush would emerge onto the live show stage to show them how it is done.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VH1 named \u201cTom Sawyer\u201d the 19th Greatest Hard Rock Song of All Time in 2009 and in 2010, it was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame (along with 4 other Rush classics). <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Band\u2019s legacy has likewise continued throughout the years\u2026.never taking itself too seriously \u2013as evidenced from their famous appearance on the Colbert Report in 2009. In the midst of their lighthearted humor, they have earned some very serious recognition. In 1996 they were inducted as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Officers of the Order of Canada in 1996, and in 2013, Rush was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Hame.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The tragic and surprising passing of Neil Peart to cancer in 2020 ended the future of Rush.
