What is your favorite Chicago song?

Answer 1

25 or 6 to 4
The song is about staying up all night trying to write a song to meet a recording deadline.
As for the curious title, Robert Lamm says, "It's just a reference to the time of day"--as in "waiting for the break of day" at 25 or (2)6 minutes to 4 a.m. (3:35 or 3:34 a.m.). And now you know the rest of the story.

Answer 2

25 or 6 to 4

Answer 3

My all time favorite is
Happy Man

Then if by chance very unsuspecting you caught my heart unprotecting me, now I've fallen in love with you.

Just when I thought I was free and easy you came along to me soft and breezy, now I've fallen in love with you.

And for the first time in my life,
I know what it's like to be a happy man
being a happy man
And for the first time in my life ,
you've given me some thing I can under stand
Being a happy man.

Answer 5

Not a song from the musical but one about the city. Chicago Seemed Tired Last Night by The Hold Steady

nelson algren came to paddy at some party at the dead end alley. he told him what to celebrate.
and i met william butler yeats. sunday nite dance party summer 1988. at first i thought it might be william blake.

we mix our own mythologies. we push them out through pa systems. we dictate our doxologies and try to get sleeping kids to sit up and listen. i'm not saying we could save you. but we could put you in a place where you could save yrself. if you don't get born again at least you'll get high as hell.

sweet saint paul. that must be the hardest luck saint of them all. we met him in some suburban saint paul mall.
when st. theresa came to holly. i wasn't even at that party. i'd already moved out to new york city. when judas went up and kissed him. i almost got sick. i guess i knew what was coming. i guess i knew it was coming.

we gather our gospels from gossip and bar talk then declare them the truth. we salvage our sermons from message boards and scene reports. we come on to the youth. we try out new testements on the guys sitting next to us in the bars with the bars in their windows. even if you don't get converted tonite you must admit that the band's pretty tight.

they did she's got legs into ain't 2 proud 2 beg into something by the dixie dregs. they faked their way thru fairytale of new york. when the band stopped playing we howled out for more.
hey nelson algren. chicago seemed tired last nite. they had cigarettes where there were supposed to be eyes. hey william butler yeats. the irish seemed wired last nite. they tried to separate our girls from our guys. they had cigarettes where there were supposed to be eyes.

"You're the Inspiration"

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I want you here with me
From tonight until the end of time

You should know, everywhere I go
You're always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul
baby

CHORUS:
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin'
No one needs you more than I need you

And i know, yes I know that it's plain to see
We're so in love when we're together
now i know that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time

You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart in my soul

CHORUS

Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin'
No one needs you more than I need you

You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life

When you love somebody
When you love somebody
