Background



Guitarist Alex Lifeson said:
Once we had the guitar track down, we stuck a speaker cabinet outsidethis was up at the studio in Morin Heights, Quebecand we recorded the natural echo off the mountains in combination with the sound of splashing water and Geddy's voice. We didn't use any sort of synthetic echo on the water track.
