One of my favorite albums of all time is Switchfoot’s The Beautiful Letdown (2003). In addition to the radio smash hits Dare You to Move, This is Your Life, and Gone, the album also featured a song that I initially found a little strange. Here’s the chorus:
If we’re adding to the noise
turn off this song
If we’re adding to the noise
turn off your stereo, radio, video
Why would the band be telling you to turn off their music? Is this some weird reverse psychological tactic?
