This is one of Rush's songs that seems to get overlooked more than a bit; it has more of a straight-up Rock feel to it than their normal sound. Neil Peart's drumming shines in this high-energy song, which is normal for anything that he plays on, but he is the main driving force on this track.
The song is about the little victories that you can build upon to get you through bad times. In the years prior to this album's release, the band had taken a break and it was not known even if they were still going to continue. This was the song that opens the album and "announced" their return.

Here is a much better remixed version of the studio version on YouTube.
Here is a fan video with the original studio version on YouTube.
