Song 33 ( Rush - YYZ )

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4a/Moving_Pictures.jpg

Today I decided to choose YYZ by Rush off of their Moving Pictures album; this is one of their more interesting songs that they have ever put out. "YYZ" is the IATA code for Toronto Pearson International Airport, (Their Home Airport). In the beginning of the song the band starts out playing the Morse Code for YYZ, which would be - . - - , - . - - , - - . . on their instruments alternating between C and F-sharp for the dashes and dots. The song then breaks into main piece, which is mind-blowingly [is that even a word?] excellent and complex; this song appears to be rather experimental compared to a lot of their other work of this time.
