"Tom Sawyer" is one of Rush's most iconic songs, released in 1981 as the opening track on their album "Moving Pictures." The song is known for its complex structure, innovative use of synthesizers, and thought-provoking lyrics.
"Tom Sawyer" received widespread critical acclaim upon its release and has remained one of Rush's most popular and enduring songs. It is often cited as a highlight of their career.
The lyrics were written by drummer Neil Peart in collaboration with Canadian lyricist Pye Dubois. They describe a modern-day rebel and free spirit, drawing loosely on the character of Tom Sawyer from Mark Twain's novels but placing him in a contemporary context.
The music was composed by Geddy Lee (bass, synthesizers, and vocals) and Alex Lifeson (guitar), with a significant input from Neil Peart (drums). The song features a distinctive synthesizer riff, a driving bass line, and intricate drum patterns.

Drummer Neil Peart- RIP- is considered one of the best drummers in rock history- he has a 20 minute plus live solo from Frankfurt Germany when he was older that shows his classical training in Big Band, Jazz and overall mastery
