The song was based on Alex Lifeson's vivid nightmares.
One part's even dedicated to him: "A Lerxst (sp?) In Wonderland." If I spelled that correctly, it's Alex Lifeson's nickname. =]
I read a book where it said it was done in three seperate pieces, and they just glued 'em all together.
Although the live versions are obviously in one take.
A quote from Alex himself: "I always thought 'I'm never going to be able to play 'La Villa Strangiato'', it'll be too confusing. But now I play it on acoustic all the time, like at breakfast, or when I'm watching hockey."
