For those who don't know this song was inspired by the Toronto Airport VOR identifier which is KYYZ...Toronto Airport. Rush always flew through there as it was their home. The rhythm in the beginning of the song is morse code for YYZ. When pilots tune their NAV radio to a VOR navigation beacon, they hear the morse code for that particular site. Alex Lifeson was working on his pilot's license at the time and they heard it when they were flying. Neil and Geddy started working with that rhythm and this magical song was born. As a pilot and a Rush fan...this is amazingly cool. Now you understand the video too.🙂

Can you believe that YYZ was nominated for best rock instrumental for the 1982 Grammys, but lost out to Behind My Camel by The Police? If you ever want proof of how marginalised Rush was by the ‘establishment’ in the music industry, that’s gotta be it right there.

I am not a real pilot, I just play one on my pc. I landed here (pun intended) cause I was flying into Toronto on MSFS 2020 , I tuned into the VOR for YYZ and listened to the morse code identifier. I thought to myself, that sounds like a Rush song. Hey , that's YYZ !! Wait a minute.. After 40 years of jamming to this song I never knew where YYZ came from. Today I finally put two and two together.

Lifeson stood alone to be sure. The only guitar player who has blown me away more is a little known player named Brad Barr, who played in a trio called The Slip with his brother (Andrew) and a bass player who just blew my mind and I believe also used Taurus pedals. They were like the Rush of indie rock. (And just as overlooked in comparison to other indie acts as Rush was to other classic rock acts)

Rush has an uncanny ability to make the hairs on my arms stand up with guitar and rhythm. Alex just screams and moans with his playing while Neil and Geddy give such perfect counterpoint and timing.

So that’s where the album cover came from!😜

Came for the Guitar Hero memories- stayed for the hard-driving rock and awesome animation

Yes, the day got better. Nobody plays like Rush. Amazing.

Sterling Archer brought me here. (Yes ive heard other "rush" songs before) But, this stands alone.

Caress of Steel baby. Caress of Steel.

More animated vids to these Rush classics please!!!

Just hearing their music properly as they were at Wembley tonight. Wow. All these tracks to discover now. Thank you bittersweetly to Taylor Hawkins and Foo Fighters.

No, it's a Morse code used in Canada airports

I bought this album just minutes after my brother's girlfriend put it on the shelves at peaches records and tapes in Lynnwood Washington. When I took it home and listened to it, at the time, I wasn't really impressed with songs like Tom Sawyer, limelight, and YYZ. I was impressed with the song "camera eye". I loved RUSH because of Alex Lifeson's guitar work. I was into RUSH's long instrumental pieces. 2112, Xanadu, Bytor and the snowdog, Hemispheres, and Natural Science. All these years later... I am still a HUGE FAN of the period of ridiculous robes. 2112 to Permanent waves. Moving pictures was the end of that period. I saw RUSH on the moving pictures tour. Great show. Where I sat in the Seattle center Coliseum, Was right behind the soundboard 6 rows up. Alex's guitar drowned out Geddy and Neil. Loved it. During the first few songs, someone had passed a joint onto our our row, and we all took a drag. I was higher than I had ever been in my whole life. It made this concert into a religious experience for me. Still love YYZ. I love RUSH... since 1978. Thank you Neil, Geddy, and Alex, for giving us all that. I love you guys!

I hear ya!

RUSH FOREVER!

I’m so glad Rush has redeemed themselves from their original reputation of less than quality music videos. These new additions are absolutely stupendous and well-deserved.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Graphics, puns, plot & cameos. This video is a gift just like Spirit of Radio. It's a damn good day to be a Rush fan!

The instrument playing is animated correctly, and amazingly at that! Yes!!

Love the easter eggs! - Rush releases new album with songs not as long as 2112; - Geddy Lee buys another bass; - Vital signs Urgent Care; - Fried by night; And many more! Gotta love this band!

Whilst I know the actual reason for the name of the song being the IATA code for an airport in Toronto, I always had another read on the title "YYZ". Being American born, but growing up in England, Z was one of those letters everyone insisted I pronounced wrong. "Zed" here, instead of Zee. Then I learned of a third, "Izzard" a more archaic form of the letter. In more recent years, my head bridged the gap between this third form, and "YYZ" during a discussion of whether "Zed" or "Zee" was intended. Thus, "Why-Why-izzard" or perhaps "Wizzard" (thanks Terry Pratchett) got stuck as an unofficial and personal third name for the song in my head
