Happy Tu B’Shevat! The Trees was one of the first Rush tracks that I listened to back in 82 I believe. I have been a huge Genesis fan since aged 10 and it was inevitable that Rush would eventually weave their way to me and so it proved aged 17. This song had a real resonance with me at the time of first hearing it due to the classical intro by Steve Hackett to ‘Blood On The Rooftops’ by Genesis. Although both tracks and not really that similar per se, the fact that they both have classical guitar intros and both lead into something completely different musically was a real moment of discovery for me regarding my early Rush listening. Love the Jewish religious calendar info.
