Chain Lightning Lyrics
Enthusiasm spreads
Tides respond to lunar gravitation
Everything turns in synchronous relation
Excitement goes to my head
Winds are stirred by planets in rotation
Sparks ignite and spread new information
Meteor rain stars across the night
This moment may be brief
But it can be so bright
Optimism spreads
Bitterness breeds irritation
Ignorance breeds imitation
Meteor rain stars across the night
This moment may be brief
But it can be so bright
When the moment dies
The spark still flies
Reflected in another pair of eyes
Desire goes to my head
Love responds to your invitation
Love responds to imagination
A weather phenomenon known as Sun Dogs happens on the horizion usually in Canada. This song is written about the experience of Neil Peart in a boat on his lake in Quebec with his daughter one night watching this phenomenon through her eyes. His daughter Selena passed away 6 short years later.

I absolutely love this song, then again I love every song I have ever heard from Rush and I have heard a lot. The song is very moving. Even if it was about Neil and his daughter I think this song can affect anyone in a different way. To me the song means that there is a reaction to every action. That society, people, and the world in general can affect the way you feel. I love the theme of this song, its awesome.
What an underrated Rush song. This song gives you many feelings. Especially if you are watching the Northern Lights, or any other phenomenon. I simply love it!
I love the sound of every song on this album! This is by far one of my favorite albums, (as far as RUSH is concerned, second only to 2112). The imagery and emotion in all of Presto's songs just astounds me. Underrated song? More like an underrated album.
Having a thin sound is the only legitimate criticism I can give to this album.

Wonderful lyrics, quite moving when you think about it. Quite an agressive sound, even for Presto. The restraint of the chorus is nicely offset by the heavy, rythmic pulse of the verses.
Simple the best mix of music, science and feelings....
Always get teary-eyed listening to this song. Something incredibly beautiful about it.
How love is a natural phenomenon that has its own energy process.
Nothing is created nor destroyed - the phenomenon is all around us and it comes out in fleeting moments of pure joy and awe.
