i cant get it out of my head

whats that alternative rock song with the asian guitar beat to it? i think its chinese..but its really mellow and slow..but its done by a known rock band but i cant think of it. i hope you guys know what im talking about

Sitar? [it's not Asian, it's Indian]

Norwegian Wood is a famous song using the sitar.

Got any more clues? Any lyrics?

im pretty sure its has some asian flair to it, and i think its done by a known american band...it came out a couple years ago, i was thinking its by incubus or something but i cant seem to find it..

Silverchair - Petrol & Chlorine

that's just the first that came in my mind.

some lyrics would help. :-)

I take it, it is a male singer?
How old is it?
You describe it as alternative rock - what would you compare that to? [eg another similar sounding group]

Lyrics would really help - maybe.
Even just a few words.

I believe the one you are looking for is infact by Incubus, called Aqueous Transmission. Let me know if this is the right one.

Cheers!
