This song was originally written by the White Stripes and was inspired by the sounds of American cities filled with horns and sirens, hence the reference to police sirens and horns. It has been covered by many artists including R.E.M., Sufjan Stevens and more. Each version retains the core themes of loneliness and the need for community, however they also infuse their own personal interpretations into the song.
