Hemispheres

It was just a flash. I was working on an entirely different thing when I saw a cartoon picture of these trees carrying on like fools. I thought, 'What if trees acted like people?' I saw it as a cartoon, really, and wrote it that way. I think that's the image it conjures up to a listener or reader. A very simple statement.
- Neil Peart 1980 (on the lyrics to the song The Trees)
