"Far Cry" is the first single of Rush's 2007 album Snakes & Arrows. It was released to radio on March 12, 2007, then saw an electronic release on iTunes four days later. The song peaked at number 22 on the Billboard 200 hot mainstream rock tracks. [1]
[edit] Background
The song evolved from a studio jam session between Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee. Neil Peart unexpectedly left lyrics he had just finished on the table with the chorus highlighted. Lee began singing the chorus along with a section of the jam and, according to him, it seemed to fit. The song was written in a day with Geddy Lee remarking "Far Cry was a good day."
[edit] Video
The video, directed by Christopher Mills, was released on YouTube, on May 8, 2007.
