* The triumphant final chorus of "Off The Hook," in which the subject catches their male partner [[YourCheatingHeart being unfaithful]] again and finally decides [[TheLastStraw enough is enough]]. The fact it's written in the second person makes is sound as though either their friend is giving them some helpful advice or the subject is saying it to themselves as a sort of motivational mantra (or possibly [[DreamingOfThingsToCome realizing it subconsciously]] in a prophetic {{anxiety dream|s}}).

* Though it ends on a [[BittersweetEnding bittersweet note]], "Call and Answer" is an otherwise poignant song about wanting to rebuild a relationship with someone after a falling out and a hope that the other person is willing to put in the effort to make it work again.

* "Hanukkah Blessings" beautifully describes the warm and fuzzy feeling Jewish kids get while celebrating the festival of lights, remembering it's history and feeling special even when being inundated with Christmas stuff (and since Steve is Jewish, you know he means it). The verses which repurpose the ''actual'' Hanukkah prayers will surely touch the heart of anyone who grew up saying them during the holiday.

* While the music video is mostly funny and clashes with the lyrics, [[http://t.co/RyqtePRZUc "Odds Are"]] is mostly a heartwarming song encouraging you not to miss opportunities in front of you, just because you're scared of things which likely won't happen.
** Heartwarming to the point that the lyrics explain that considering the odds, you have a better chance of falling in love by the time the song ends, than dying in a multitude of horrible ways.

* The band was due to be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame (by good friend Geddy Lee no less) at the 2018 JUNO Awards. The heartwarming comes in however with [[TheBusCameBack Steven Page and Andy Creegan]] reuniting with the band on stage to perform "One Week" and "If I Had $1000000" for the first time in over a decade, [[DancePartyEnding even bringing out the other nominees to sing]]. While most likely the last time they'll ever play together, their excitement to be there was evident, looking like a day hadn't passed.
