Nov 5, 2013 - Canadian rock band Rush, named after Mark Twain's literary character sang the song. The song was released on Mercury Records. Dec 8, 2017 - 'Tom Sawyer' is a 1981 song by Canadian progressive rock band Rush named for Mark Twain's literary character. The song relies heavily on Geddy Lee's synthesizer playing and the techniques of drummer Neil Peart. Geddy Lee has referred to the track as the 'quintessential Rush song.
The song has made many appearances in television and is frequently referenced in media.
Background and recording[edit]
The song was written by Lee, drummer Neil Peart, and guitarist Alex Lifeson in collaboration with lyricist Pye Dubois of the band Max Webster, who also co-wrote the Rush songs 'Force Ten', 'Between Sun and Moon', and 'Test for Echo'. According to the US radio show In the Studio with Redbeard (which devoted an episode to the making of Moving Pictures), 'Tom Sawyer' came about during a summer rehearsal vacation that Rush spent at Ronnie Hawkins' farm outside Toronto. Peart was presented with a poem by Dubois named 'Louis the Lawyer' (often incorrectly cited as 'Louis the Warrior')[2] that he modified and expanded. Lee and Lifeson then helped set the poem to music. The 'growling' synthesizer sound heard in the song came from Lee experimenting with his Oberheim OB-X.[3][4] For 'Tom Sawyer', Lee switched from his Rickenbacker 4001 to a Fender Jazz Bass he purchased from a pawn shop.[5]
In the December 1985 Rush Backstage Club newsletter, drummer and lyricist Neil Peart said:
Tom Sawyer was a collaboration between myself and Pye Dubois, an excellent lyricist who wrote the lyrics for Max Webster. His original lyrics were kind of a portrait of a modern day rebel, a free-spirited individualist striding through the world wide-eyed and purposeful. Spyro 3 psx iso download. I added the themes of reconciling the boy and man in myself, and the difference between what people are and what others perceive them to be—namely me, I guess.
Alex Lifeson describes his guitar solo in 'Tom Sawyer' in a 2007 interview:
I winged it. Honest! I came in, did five takes, then went off and had a cigarette. I'm at my best for the first two takes; after that, I overthink everything and I lose the spark. Actually, the solo you hear is composed together from various takes.[6]

Lyrics
A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride.
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride.

Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river.
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river.
What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide.
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide.
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.
No his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is.
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is.
What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide.
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide.
Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day.
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day.
