i've been itching to do something with a techno twist to it..this might be the one:D

It is really an incredible song. It is so straight forward in structure yet has so many interesting things happening in it. The guitar solo itself should really be memorized, it is so classic.

allrighty but Im a bit slow with the songs because Im allso doing original songs and its going pretty good so I need to do it all at once.

Again, since I set up the structure. If you want a drum track I prepared let me know. I will make if as techno as I can for ya. Mine is more of a power drum kind of thing. If you want one, just let me know the tempo you need.

I am going to do mine 145 bpm at the moment.

The guitar solo itself should really be memorized, it is so classic.

lol..well..i'm not gonna go out and buy a new battery for my Cry Baby:D

dude..i didn't hear any keyboard in that song? (seeing that it weas written by the keyboard player:p )

anyone got an mp3 of the song? cant find it...

I don't have an mp3 unfortunately. I did a search and found some download sites, but I don't know how trustworthy the are.

I would be surprised if you had not heard this song before. It was pretty huge back in the day. There was all kinds of speculation that the lyrics related to drugs (LSD-25, etc.) but allegedly if I recall the interview correctly, it simply involved looking at a clock on the wall in the early morning hours.

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4

i have it..i'll email it to you guys.:)

Cool version. I think I would like to hear the whole thing done like the last section's mix. I liked the nice, big sounding choruses.

Hopefully this doesn't overload the website I currently use. I was going to do it all instrumental and I think I should have stuck with that idea. :p :(

some cool guitar sounds in their:nice: it does have parts where it sounded like you were doing an instrumental...

I think I would like to hear the whole thing done like the last section's mix.

i was zonin a bit:p ..the one duped rythm guitar started going south fast before the second verse..i had to re-do the section from the solo with 2 different guitars..

heres mine! :w00t: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page...?bandID=322740

Thanks RedLine for correcting the link. Nice job oki, especially being unfamiliar with what is a classic for us older folks in the USA.
