*** I sort of mixed all the strings that I hear and came up with this
intro. You'll dig it once you get the hang of it. Listen to the
record and you'll get the intro in no time. And oh, sorry if
the instrumental sounded awful. I can't hear those bass notes, and
i think i kinda fucked up those treble ones as well. Heh.
