Making Memories (Rush song)

"Making Memories" is the sixth track of Fly By Night (1975), the second studio album by Canadian rock band Rush released in February 1975 by Mercury Records. A Southern rock, folk rock and country song about touring on the road, its lyrics were penned by drummer Neil Peart and its music composed by bassist and lead vocalist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson. The song was written while riding to a concert, when the band's car took a wrong turn. It was recorded in December 1974 at Toronto Sound, under production by the band and engineer Terry Brown.

In addition to being on Fly By Night, "Making Memories" was released in the United States in February 1977 as the B-side of a 7" single, alongside "The Temples of Syrinx"—the second movement of "2112" (1976). In August 1977, this A-side and B-side were swapped to form the first-ever release for Anthem Records. Music journalists and writers on Rush have been generally positive about "Making Memories"; their focus has been on its musical content, including its attempt at folk- and Southern rock—styles unexpected from them—as well as its solo, which utilizes slide guitar.
