JON: Yeah, we always thought it would be really great to tell somebody to turn it off. See, we were looking at statistics, and the number-one CD of last year was the blank disc. And I was just thinking, what a better world this would be--and this might sound really odd coming from a musician--if we all listened to that blank disc just for an hour and 15 minutes, and contemplated life and just thought about what we're doing here. Maybe pop it in and go for a drive or something, and be forced to think our thoughts. That's kind of what "Adding To The Noise" is about. Our world spins very fast and there's a lot of traffic that goes by very quickly, but at the end of the day, there's no real motion, nothing has really changed--our hearts are still the same and our planet's still messed-up. So that song's kind of just...I don't know, I guess it is an ironic thing for somebody to tell you to turn the song off.
uhmm.. sorry guys.. this is from Jon directly
