Justus_2112 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I regards to the song (not the album), is it "Vapor Trails" or "Vapor Trail" The CD case says "Vapor Trail" but when I put it in iTunes, it called it "Vapor Trails." Different people say different things, but what is the proper name of the song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Vapor Trail is the correct name of the song. Vapor Trails is the name of the album 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 It should be Vapour, they're Canadian...It's not like Americans made them spell it vapor. They and their reps decided on vapor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Rush chose v-a-p-o-r so there's no debate here. Well one of Rush did anyway... GW One last question: Why no "u" in Vapor Trails? I mean, that would be the Canadian way to spell it.LEE That's an argument I was not prepared to have with Neil.LlFESON Yeah, we were both on the "u" side, the proper English spelling.LEE I used the "u" on my album, My Favorite Headache, for Britain and Canada: My Favourite Headache. But Neil tends to the U.S. He likes the simpler spellings. So I'd put the "u" in there, if it were left to me. But I'm not fighting for a "u." http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/20020800guitarworld.htm 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the truth is that "u" or no "u" isn't stupid. It's simply another way of spelling the same word. They're both universally understood and both are 100% correct.
