The group began in 1999 when two musicians -- Jamie Woolford of Animal Chin and Rory Phillips of the Impossibles -- combined their solo projects at the recommendation of their label. After tape trading and phone calls, Woolford jumped in his van and drove to Austin, TX, where the duo recorded their entire full-length debut, Three Hundred. The material was then sent to producer J. Robbins, who gave it his famous touch, and was released on Fueled by Ramen in 1999.
After touring in support their first record, Phillips left the group. But Woolford pressed on, enlisting the help of friends and releasing the New Tokyo Is Calling EP along the way. Guitarist Erik Hanson joined, soon left the group, and was replaced by Ross Felrath, only to re-join the band again. The Stereo's second album, No Traffic, not surprisingly, dealt with issues of betrayal, loss, and abandonment, but secured the band an offer for a large-scale tour of Japan.
At this point, Jamie Woolford was the only remaining member of the Stereo but in need of a touring band, so Woolford asked friends from Animal Chin and Pollen to join him, and in the process secured the Stereo's lineup.
With a collection of musicians including Ben Woolford, Dan Hargest, Thomas Laufenberg, Kevin Scanlon, Christopher Serafini, Bruce Joshua Wuollet, and Katie Riemann, Jamie Woolford went into the studio to record the band's third album. Rewind + Record, released on Fueled by Ramen in June of 2002, realized Woolford's goal of crafting a big album with songs that inspire listeners to get their lighters out on the slow songs and enjoy the rock show. ~ Charles Spano, All Music Guide

The Stereo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we've got the rest of our whole lives
to figure out what to do with all the starry nights
oh no, it's clear, we won't have chauffeurs or gondoliers
but I'll serenade you every night, a little song for your lullaby
we'll play all your records, we'll knock on heaven's door
like G n' R, Slash on guitar
so now you see, I'm stuck on you cause your stuck on me
oh don't you fear, I won't go far if you are near
in time we'll tell, I'll throw my money in the wishing well
The Stereo's song "Problems" is a sweet and romantic tune that addresses the difficulties that often come with relationships. The opening line suggests that there are indeed some problems, but despite that, they have their whole lives ahead of them to figure things out. The second line, "to figure out what to do with all the starry nights," implies that they plan to spend many nights together, but they just need to figure out how to do it happily.
The personality of the singer comes into focus in the next few lines. He acknowledges that they might not have a fortune to spend on elaborate trips and extravagant dates, but then immediately shares that he'll do everything in his power to continue to make her happy. The next verse reveals even more of his personality, as he describes how they'll spend their time together listening to her music and enjoying each other's company.
The chorus reinforces the dedication that the singer has to his partner. He is aware that there might be rough times ahead, but he assures her that he will always be there to hold her and comfort her. The last line of the song describes a willingness to take chances and make wishes for their future together.
Overall, "Problems" is a song that reassures and comforts through lyrics and melody. The singer expresses a willingness to go through hardships as long as he has his partner by his side. It is a genuinely hopeful and heartwarming love song.
