Jeremy William Smith, Jonathan Smith, Jeremiah Ricks, dan Micah Ricks adalah empat cowok yang tergabung dalam Days Difference, sebuah band beraliran pop rock dari Virginia Beach, Amerika Serikat. Mereka sudah ada sejak tahun 2004 lalu dan sempat merilis album pertama di tahun 2007. Tahun lalu, mereka berhasil merilis album kedua yang berjudul "Days Difference" berisi 10 lagu, termasuk single teranyar dari mereka adalah 'Speakers'.
Lagu dimulai dengan dentuman drum yang kemudian diikuti oleh permainan piano dan gitar. Disini lagu berasa gelap dan menyedihkan. Sama kog dengan lirik yang dinyanyikan di verse, pernyataan rasa kehilangan yang mendalam. Barulah di bagian chorus semua instrumen yang digunakan membentuk harmoni pop rock yang dinanti-nanti. Aku suka permainan gitar elektriknya disini. Terdengar sopan dan tidak berisik.
'Speakers' intinya mengisahkan tentang perpisahan yang menyisakan penyesalan. Dimana si cowok merasa kehilangan inspirasi saat ditinggalkan si cewek. Sehingga satu-satunya cara si cowok untuk berbaikan adalah dengan lagu yang diharapkan bisa didengar ama si cewek lewat spiker radionya. Kunjungi myspace Days Difference untuk mendengarkan lagu ini secara penuh, berikut beberapa lagu lainnya milik Days Difference.

Lyrics:
The studio's dark got the candles on
I'm trying to write words to the perfect song
But nothing will rhyme nothing sounds right
Now you're gone
It's raining outside so you can't be far
You're probably still soaked sitting in your car
Trying to make sense of all that we said
But you can't
And the words comin' out of the speakers
Are the only way I've got left to reach ya
My soul plays the keys and my heart plays the drums
I need you to hear me so turn the radio on
Now I'm tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya
I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta
Got my pain on the mic layin' it all out tonight
I'll do it again and again till I get it right
Turn em up turn up the speakers
Turn em up turn up the speakers
Turn em up turn up the speakers
Turn em up turn up the speakers
Keys in the lock now you're probably home
Walking through the door taking off your clothes
I turn up the sound hoping somehow
I'll reach you
But I know that I can't so I dial your phone
I don't leave a message I just play the song
And hope that you hear I hope that it's clear
As soon as you hold it up up to your ear
Cause the words comin' out of the speakers
Are the only way I've got left to reach ya
My soul plays the keys and my heart plays the drums
I need you to hear me so turn the radio on
Now I'm tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya
I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta
Got my pain on the mic layin' it all out tonight
I'll do it again and again till I get it right
Turn em up turn up the speakers
Turn em up turn up the speakers
Turn em up turn up the speakers
Turn em up turn up the speakers
And I wanna wrap these words around you
Cause I'll do whatever it takes for this song to find you
And the words comin' out of the speakers
Are the only way I've got left to reach ya
My soul plays the keys and my heart plays the drums
I need you to hear me so turn the radio on
Now I'm tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya
I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta
Got my pain on the mic layin' it all out tonight
I'll do it again and again till I get it right
Turn em up turn up the speakers
Turn em up turn up the speakers
Turn em up turn up the speakers
Turn em up turn up the speakers
The studio's dark got the candles on
I'm trying to write words to the perfect song
But nothing will rhyme nothing sounds right
Now you're gone
