"Xanadu" is a song by the Canadian progressive rock band Rush from their 1977 album A Farewell to Kings.[1] It is approximately eleven minutes long, beginning with a five-minute-long instrumental section before transitioning to a narrative written by Neil Peart, which in turn was inspired by the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem Kubla Khan.
