Spindrift

Named for the spray blown from ocean waves, the song builds around a heavy riff that flirts with doom metal while keeping its feet in 1980s Rush. The arrangement sprang to life under Raskulinecz's guidance.

It's one of the album's heaviest tracks, demonstrating that the acoustic-guitar writing approach could produce crushingly heavy results when translated to electric.

The maritime imagery connects to Peart's broader exploration of nature as both beautiful and indifferent — a theme running throughout the album.
