Before Switchfoot's 'Nothing is Sound' was released towards the end of last year, I listened to the song 'Stars' on an internet audio stream about one hundred times. It's just an amazing song that is willing to talk about what's wrong with the world without shying away from taking responsibility. But all that heavy subject matter is balanced perfectly with a catchy guitar riff and just the right amount of hope. As a huge fan of Switchfoot and all their work, I absolutely had to have this single, and I haven't regretted it once. The acoustic version of 'Stars' is absolutely amazing and heartfelt, and only available here as far as I can tell. The video and its unique underwater twist perfectly captures the enegry and sentiment of the song. The 'acoustic' version of Dare You to Move, one of their hits from breakthrough album 'The Beautiful Letdown', is perhaps the only weak point; rather than an acoustic, the track is merely another rerecording of the classic, but it pales in comparison to the album version.
Some may think 9 dollars plus is a bit steep for this single, but it was worth it if just for the acoustic and video versions of the title track. I give this my highest recommendation to any fan of Switchfoot's music - or message.
Song "Adding To The Noise"
What's it gonna take
to slow us down
to let the silence spin us around?
What's it gonna take
to drop this town?
We've been spinning at the speed of sound.
Stepping out of those convenience stores
what could we want but more more more?
From the third world
to the corporate core
we are a symphony of modern humanity
If we're adding to the noise
turn off this song
If we're adding to the noise
turn off your stereo, stereo, stereo
I dont know
what they're gonna think of next
genetic engineers of the most high tech
A couple new ways
to fall into debt
I'm a nervous wreck but I'll bet
that that T.V. set
tells us what we've wanted to hear
But none of these sound bites
are coming in clear
From the third world to the corporate ear
we are the symphony of modern humanity.
