I think they are symbolizing any time you stand up for what you believe in and people disagree with you.  They're not ready to make nice - they're not ready to forgive and forget.  They say that forgiving sounds nice but they don't think the can forget.  And then they illustrate why - why would someone tell them to shut up and sing or else???  That's in the lyrics of the song.  They're not ready to suck it up and go on.  They feel hurt, and they're going to keep on feeling hurt.

At work we just got motion sensitive switches.  If there isn't any movement for so long, the lights turn themselves off.  Saves a bunch on electricity.  Of course they automatically turn themselves back on when we walk through.

Most definitely the music is for too long and it's too loud. Your body will always give you a warning first that you are abusing it and then break down if you continue. Also check for wax.

If you truly ran a red light pay your fine and get over it , also think twice before doing it again, people get killed everyday because of someone who thought they could make it before traffic started moving from the other direction.

No and I'll tell you why.  Because when I'm behind someone at a red light, and I'm not paying 100% attention and I see their brake lights go off, I assume they're going, and I almost rear end them.  Therefore as a common courtesy to people behind me who might have spaced out for a second, I don't do that.

I have only noticed this in the South (of U.S.A.). In the North, people usually just let the funeral procession go through red lights and stop signs (to stay together).

Most traffic light intersections have a magnetic strip to detect if a vehicle is at the light.  Some are stronger than others so there could be a big variation.  This magnetic force could be interfering with your radio.  You can go to Radio Shack and get a noise limiter for your radio to reduce or even stop the static noise.

because their larynx is still fresh, and their vocal strings are so tight.... and plus, they want attention & fear that they will be ignored. so they will be screaming & their tone is high pitched:D

The military is all about morale, the better the morale the happier, and the tighter the people work together. It's propably just that particular units morale booster song. In boot camp we used to sing "roxanne" before we went to sleep b/c when they turned out the regular lights "they put on the red lights" so it made us laugh after a long hard day. (this was the navy not marines, the red lights were to get us accustomed to a ship)

Some forget and some have bad night vision. Don't be annoyed,be in action. Flash your lights to remind them. Peace.

I am not so sure why. well it seems to me that music too can distract people from driving, cause they may get so distracted that they don't think about their driving.

When I was in college, California was suffering from rolling blackouts (but that's a subject for another day). Well, anyway, we had one in the middle of choir practice. Some of the students tried to convince the director to just let us go home. His response was, "People were making music long before electricity, and so can we."

For the same reason people talk louder on a cell phone when the other person says "You're breaking up, I can't hear you".\n\nNO COMMON SENSE!
