822 - Rush The Trees 1978

"Hemispheres" is the sixth studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1978. The album was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales.
This album continues Rush's trend of using the fantasy and science fiction lyrics written by Neil Peart. Neil Peart has remarked that the inspiration for penning "THe Trees" simply came from a humorous comic strip he read which depicted trees arguing like people. The song is penned as a fable in verse, featuring a libertarian-themed moral at the end.
