| i like this song. the complex world of the big city. so brilliant, so alive, yet...so dangerous. | |

| The first half of the song describes a street scene in New York. The second half describes one in London. Musically, the song is composed of two very similar halves, one for each city. Aside from statements that find both cities (perhaps all cities) very positive for their energy, there's not too much indirection here -- every line says what it means. The New York scene includes a rain "like an English rain", detailing one facet in which New York is like London. There aren't too many phrases that actually capture the nature of either city. New York has a limitless rise. London has history and is weathered. This could just as well be about Chicago and Rome. | |

| I love this song too. I found it interesting to read some of the reviews concerning Rush's greatest hits compilations on Amazon and it struck me as a bit odd that this one has never been included. | |

| At 10:56, this was the last song Rush recorded that was over 10 minutes long. | |

| I like this song. It's not one of Rush's most well known, but the synth opening is great. | |
