Unduion - 2004-01-17

They added a new intro for this song...it's the chorus played pretty near clean and with of course John singing the chorus real nice and soft like....they also tried mixing it around with the heavy section from "Saviour" (which I'm working on)right before the soft stuff...but they didn't like the sound of it in practice.
