Ceiling Unlimited

A powerful assertion of limitless possibility — the ceiling is unlimited, the sky is not the limit. After years of darkness, the song embodies the feeling of emerging from despair into open space.

The band operates as a true power trio here, with massive guitar progressions, punchy bass, and Peart's impeccable drumming. The absence of keyboards forces all three musicians to fill the sonic space with pure instrumental force.

It's one of the tracks that emerged from the more productive second phase of sessions, after the band returned from their break with renewed focus.
