Welcome Interstate Managers, 2003
Written by Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger
The "little red light" of the title is a notification that the narrator has received messages. But there is no such light on his big black Radio Shack portable phone or his big black laptop. His love has left and not leaving any messages. "I go to work / I come back home / But you're still gone / And I'm still alone." The rocking, anthemic, fist-pumping power pop of the song belies the bleak situation depicted in the lyrics.
