Lee said of the album, \"I think I backed into this project. I've never had a great desire to make an individual statement, and I certainly didn't want any more attention. I satisfy so much of my musical self in the context of Rush, so I don't have any great frustrations from that point of view. But once in a while, you'd wonder, 'What's it like out there? What's it like to work with other people?'  Lee explaining how he wrote the lyrics for My Favourite Headache: \"Most people are like this: They think of stuff during the day. The mind goes to certain places, they remember things, and they try to figure things out. To remind yourself to write that stuff down is a great benefit. Then you come back to it and you analyze it days later, and lyrically shape what you felt when you wrote it down. For me, how I feel about what I wrote down turns into a song.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rhino Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Black CD","offer_id":50452539769163,"sku":"2211812","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LPx2","offer_id":50452540162379,"sku":"2211813","price":64.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/My_Favorite_Headache_c5ad4714_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727155404"},{"product_id":"the-lost-demos-hp","title":"The Lost Demos - RSD 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuy in-store on Record Store Day (12\/04\/2025).
