  1. Far Cry

    Far Cry is a song by the Canadian hard rock band Rush. It was released as the first single from their 2007 album Snakes & Arrows. It was released to radio on March 12, 2007, then saw a digital release four days later. The song peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Guitarist Alex Lifeson said about the song: "It was almost like we already knew the song when we wrote it. We just played it. And that was realy (sic) cool. That doesn't happen very often. We were high-fiving and the whole thing, because it's a relief when something like that happens, for sure."
