This song is one of many reasons why Alex Lifeson is my favorite guitarist. He's so innovative, versatile and truly inspiring, and his sound is the greatest. The Trees is such an immense song, with one of Neil Peart's best lyrics.

Rush are still proving to be one of the best three-piece outfits out there especially in the live arena. They are still plying their trade with grace and a smile which is really good to see. They have never had any "dillusions of grandeur" or "visions of splendor" as Neil would say. (Cinderella Man)
