Lights and Sounds is the title track and lead single from the album. The song boasts a hard rock sound, somewhat evolved from the majorly pop punk sound of Ocean Avenue. The music video is a performance-only video, where they are in a dark room with thin lights. Unfortunately, like it's follow-up single Rough Landing, Holly, the video never got past the on-deck area of the TRL countdown, possibly resulting in the underwhelming sales of Lights and Sounds. The song also bears an uncanny resemblence to the Nirvana song "Stay Away",^{[citation needed]} especially the fast-paced drumming.

[edit] Appearances on Other Media

Lights and Sounds was featured on a Verizon Wireless Vcast commercial around the time of the album's release. The song was also featured in the video game Burnout Revenge and won the 2006 Spike TV Video Game Awards for Best Song. It was also featured on a 2006 ESPN Radio commercial for the seasonal Sunday Night Baseball program.
