Pye Dubois

Pye Dubois is a Canadian lyricist and poet. He has worked mainly with Kim Mitchell and Max Webster (with whom he was considered an unofficial fifth non-performing member), and occasionally Rush. Career Dubois accompanied Max Webster in the studio and wrote lyrics for each of their albums. He was given lyric-writing credits on several Rush songs, most notably “Tom Sawyer”, which has been included on the soundtrack of several films. Dubois wrote the poem “There is a Lake Between Sun and Moon”, which inspired Rush to write many of the lyrics for the album Counterparts, including a song of the same name for which Dubois received co-writing credit. He is also credited as a co-writer on the Rush songs “Force Ten” and “Test for Echo”. After Max Webster dissolved, Dubois continued his writing relationship with singer and guitarist Kim Mitchell on his solo songs. This included all but one of the songs on Kim’s platinum Akimbo Alogo, every song on the triple platinum Shakin’ Like a Human Being, and double platinum Rockland. Dubois had a falling-out with Mitchell during the sessions for Rockland, caused by Mitchell’s decision to record the album in the US without Dubois present in the studio
