Strum
Alex plays with different
A and D (m7sus4) voicings.
This is my best guess.

| Very interesting both lyrically and musically, I'm surprised no-one has commented on this one yet! An amazing piece of music, with a very strong guitar sound, and Geddy's bass playing is as refined as ever (thats Wal basses for you). Amazing. An excellent way to open the album. | |

| This song is pretty self-explanatory after reading over it just once. It's about making choics. Don't take anything at face value... don't be tricked by people who "twist perceptions". Make decisions yourself based on all the evidence. Think for yourself, and don't make decisions too early without thinking them through. | |
