I personally like Where Are You better but thats just me

I would have probably preferred Where Are You more if they would have left the original chorus alone

I made it. Just combined the two songs. So it's not necessarily how it would have sounded but it's the best we've got.

Oh, you combined the two.
Got it. Awesome tho!

I would roll up those lyrics into a fatty a smoke it like a bong hit. Musical and lyrical magic...

I'm picturing you with the psychedelic background and a smoke filled room, sitting in a bean bag chair. It made me laugh.

I miss your purple... *cough* heeeeeerrrreee

Do you have a better copy of that version? I can rip the audio from the youtube clip, but it's pretty crappy quality. Or do you even have the original files? I can edit them so they match on an equalizer.

I can get you what I used, not sure the original clip was all that great, however.

Nice job on the edit. I've always been a fan of the unreleased version and I've made half-assed attempts at smooshing the two together before with less success. What program do you use for audio editing?

For that I used Audacity, surprisingly enough.

Dreamland is a song with a great potential....SOT is the single that scored a great international succes, i wish that Dreamland has the same potential but at this time can't beat SOT in international success...the time is changed....

The guys really fucked up, and I mean REALLY fucked up the flow of the music in Where Are You. Transitions between verses and choruses should be smooth and flowing. Even I liked the original. It's clunky and akward.

You mean like Yellow Submarine?

The apparent influence for Dreamland. I do not know where the guy got this info from. I never seen Raine mention this anywhere. Still makes sense..

http://puregrainaudio.com/news/our-lady ... -continues

Here is lead singer Raine Maida's description of the inspiration for the song: "Norman Rockwell paintings, while being weaved into "Americana" over the years have always seemed creepy to me. The irony is that 'Dreamland' is inspired by his style of painting. Escapism from present day woes right into one of his Rockwell lands. I guess part two to 'Dreamland' would have us sinking into the dogs playing poker painting... "
