"Natural Science" is the sixth and final song on Rush's seventh album Permanent Waves, and the last of their songs to be subdivided into separate, named sections. The story of this epic nature song began with the discarding of an entirely different epic song. Neil was working on making a song out of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the medieval epic from King Arthur's time. Based on the story written in the 14th century, he was trying to keep its original style.
