Oct 26, 2012 Well, you know who doesn't use auto-tune? Our dear Geddy Lee. He's been singing for 40 years and still does it without any machines or gimmicks to 'keep in tune' or 'sound good'. I wanted to give props to that. He has enough singing chops to do it well (though of course not 100% of the time, as he isn't a machine!). He doesn't sound like a.

Lyrics[edit]
The lyrics relate a short story about a conflict between maple and oak trees in a forest. The maple trees want more sunlight, but the oak trees are too tall. The conflict ends when man cuts down the forest: And the trees are all kept equal.. By hatchet, axe, and saw...[4]
Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart was asked in the April/May 1980 issue of the magazine Modern Drummer if there was a message in the lyrics, to which he replied, 'No. 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?' So I saw it as a cartoon really, and wrote it that way. I think that's the image that it conjures up to a listener or a reader. A very simple statement.'[5][6]

Background[edit]
Although Lee wrote the majority of the album on bass, he was not just writing melody lines, he was also playing chords. In some cases, he multi-tracked basses into different layers of the arrangements.[5]
Lee said of the album: 'I think I backed into this project. I've never had a great desire to make an individual statement, and I certainly didn't want any more attention. I satisfy so much of my musical self in the context of Rush, so I don't have any great frustrations from that point of view. But once in awhile, you'd wonder, 'What's like out there? What's it like to work with other people?'.[6]
Lee explaining how he wrote the lyrics for My Favourite Headache: 'Most people are like this: They think of stuff during the day. The mind goes to certain places, they remember things, and they try to figure things out. To remind yourself to write that stuff down is a great benefit. Then you come back to it and you analyze it days later, and lyrically shape what you felt when you wrote it down. For me, how I feel about what I wrote down turns into a song.'[7]
