Good News First

The human tendency to want good news before bad — and the deeper question of whether the balance between joy and sorrow ever tips in our favor. Peart explores optimism and pessimism as survival strategies.

It's one of the album's underrated gems, with a rich arrangement and a melodic sensibility that demonstrates Rush's continued songwriting growth.

The song has been highlighted by critics as one of the great forgotten Rush songs — a deep cut that rewards the listeners who find it.
