Yeah, this is one of the rare tracks where Neil didn’t pen the lyrics. The ending guitar work was interesting and I feel like they could of have gone longer and not ended so abruptly, but for what it is, it’s yet another great song from a perfect album.

Wow Dave, you really nailed it! That is exactly what I get from this song too. BTW, Entre nous may be my favorite song from this album, and definitely Top ten for Rush songs. You have not reviewed Enter Nous - John was mistaken.

Entre Nous & Different Strings are like sister songs. Great thoughtful songs about relationships.

One of my favorite lyric lines in all of Rush-dom: "Making arrows out of pointed words, giant killers at the call." Geddy's a damn good lyricist, too.

Great song, exactly there was limited time on vinyl records back in the day, I'm sure they would have liked to extend this one, I know I would have like them to. The song reminds me of Tears from 2112, also written by Geddy. Great reaction guys.

Welcome back fellas! Great song. You can hear the extended Alex outro solo at Mita's Rush Oddities, along with many other cool Rush studio and live gems (and a few live train wrecks). The site was defunct for a long time but is back now. Cheers and keep 'em coming.

Yay, Dave finally got out of that Mexican jail. I told you he would love the length of this song. I always felt this was a song about Geddy and Alex's friendship, I could see Alex slaying Geddy's bully dragon. And how they both have their own lives and yet they're so close because of their music and they play different types of string instruments.

First off, WELCOME BACK! I've missed you. This is as close to a love song as Rush ever got. As I have aged, and my wife and I have grown together, the song becomes more relevant. Once again, great review. Keep it coming, please.

Rush never went for the giddy kind of "love is all you need" sort of love song. Theirs were always more about the give and take between men and women. Panacea, Tears, Madrigal, Entre Nous, Ghost Of A Chance, Vital Signs...

Welcome back. Missed you both. Think you are spot on with your reading of the lyrics. Always felt it was a positive song recognizing your past should inform, not destroy, your present and future. Permanent Waves is my favorite too Jon. Also forget CD’s. If I was willing to part with it, I would send you my VINYL copy. But. . . I’m not going to do that. Nothing personal, just one of the albums I won’t let go of. ☮💟

I believe this song is generally about the differences that separate each of us from one another. More in broad terms than any specific reason. You mentioned your idea of what is "standard" of Rush. The word standard doesn't fit within a conversation about Rush. The lyrics in this song were actually written by Geddy Lee, the singer/bass/keyboard player. Pretty much every other song, the lyrics are written by, Neil Peart, the drummer.
