About Lights and Sounds

"Lights and Sounds" is a song by the American pop punk band Yellowcard. The song was written collaboratively by all the band members for their fifth album, Lights and Sounds (2006). The track is built around a guitar riff, which is then followed with a repetitive drumming beat, then it is followed by a roaring guitar sound. The song's lyrics are based on the band coping with the success they were enduring when writing songs for their second album. It is also based on how they have aged in the process. "Lights and Sounds" also goes with what vocalist Ryan Key described as when he was preoccupied with making the album. The song was released on November 15, 2005, and peaked at number four on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, their highest-charting song to date. It also appeared at number twenty-six on the Hot Digital chart. The song peaked at number 50 on Billboard's Hot 100 and Pop 100 in the 42 spot. Internationally, the track appeared for one week in the UK Singles Chart at number 56. It also appeared in the Australian and New Zealand charts, respectively. more »
