| The intro is 10/8, not 5/4. I always thought it stood for something. You and Your Zucchini Yes, a Yiddish Zebra Yowzers, You're Zany etc., etc. | |

| As Neil Peart, his highness, the greatest fucking drum soloist in the fucking world (he's great with the band too but so are alot of drummers. Not many drummers can keep a solo going for 40 minutes and keep the audience INTRESTED. I think him and John Bohnam are the best at that and he's better. Plus, John's dead and Neil's alive.) himself said, the intro 5/4 rhythm, is morse code for YYZ which is the travel code for Toronto, the hometown of the band, where they grew up (althought Geddy Lee is the only one who was born in Toronto) and I am god damn proud to live in this great city (I live in toronto, around where Geddy lived. In fact, I know where he went to school he went to Newtonbrooke Secondary School which isn't too far from me. To finish off, a quote from Neil Peart: It's always a happy day when YYZ appears on our luggage tags! Neil Peart, greatest drummer, most insightful lyricist, quite the accentric writer, and a very mysterious man..To me because I don't know him...bow down. | |
