In our Suite Salute to the departing Audio Adrenaline Band, here is our daily song story, from the band members on the origins of your favorite Audio A songs.
Two more from frontman Mark Stuart:
"We're A Band"
"'We're A Band"' was kind of an anthem for us. We didn't think it would be a big hit. It was just fun for us to get on stage and sing about our camaraderie. We still play that live. It's kind of our anthem on how we're going to keep on doing it. We're brothers up here rocking out and it's fun. Get out of the way because we're coming to your town!"
"Never Gonna Be as Big as Jesus"
"This song was off the 'Bloom' record. I heard about the John Lennon comment about the Beatles being bigger than Jesus or being more popular at the time. We thought we should write a song in answer to that comment. The song is about how small we are and how incredibly cool it is to know that there's never going to be another person to ever be the comparative of bigness of Christ, not just his popularity, but his love and compassion. That song marked when we really started to connect with the fact that we're a guitar rock band. That song had a great riff and a great melody to it. We produced it in Memphis with a guy named John Hampton who had done the Gin Blossoms."
