American Noise The song American noise is a song by the Christian band known as Skillet. This song to me is an anthem for the young generation of our society who feel like outcasts. Most hard rock groups of this present age concentrate on what they feel is wrong with society, but not really doing anything about it.

If you changed this song into the hard/heavy rock song that the band is widely known for, it would ruin the song. It wouldn’t have same feel to it which means the meaning of the song would be changed. Noise has a negative connotation that is displayed in this song. Where the noise of anger and frustrations of this world are louder than the sounds of hope and love. The only way that the noise can be counter fought is that you have to join in the chorus of the people that are cheering for and about love and hope. When you are what you feel like you lack in life you gain insight to what’s really important and forget about the
