Oooh! I love those songs~! Love is a Movement is lovely... and the original recoring of Dare You to Move is awesome! :3 And I love the guitars in Meant to Live.

Oooh... and here's a switchfoot concert for all of you X3:

Today I went on a walk with my family and we stopped by the library to rent a movie to watch tonight. The one we picked was "A Walk to Remember" with Mandy Moore (even though I strongly dislike her) because we'de read it featured Switchfoot songs. On the way back to our house I was looking at the back of the video and noticed it said "Only Hope" was by Mandy Moore. But Jon Foreman wrote it!! I mentioned this unjustice to my dad and he said its probably just meant that she was the one that sung it on the video. I replied, "But it's misleading!"
He then said, "Welcome to the real world... welcome to the... *breaks into song* plaaaanet..."
And then we all started singing Dare You to More... it was very random. u.u

I dig Switchfoot. The Legend of Chin is my favorite album of theirs by far. They were great when I saw them live this year.

They were good until my brothers played the cds endlessly. Now I'm sick to death of Switchfoot.

Aww, I'm sorry, Warrior 4 Jesus. My little brother does the same thing...

I am a BIG fan of Switchfoot. I think they're actually doing something different in the field of Christian music in terms of their style and lyrics. I also like the fact that they keep their testimony even though they are popular in the secular realm as well.

Favorite songs: Chem 6A, Company Car, New Way to be Human, Dare You to Move, Ammunition, Gone, Adding to the Noise, and (of course) Meant to Live.

I like thier singles, but they got played to death. I was going to buy the Beuatiful letdown, but my brother did and it just sucked. I'm not saying this to rain on ya'lls parade, but I can't stand them.

I liked them, until I heard "Meant to Live" and "Dare You to Move" 7581659321541580943175842165789564 times.

On my Short Term Missions trip to Nashville, right after we arrived and were driving from the airport (I'm from Canada):
<Meant to Live starts playing on the radio in the car>
Leaders: "Hey, you guys like Switchfoot?"
Us: "Yeah."
Leaders: "Good, because they play this song like once every hour."

*Laughs at blkmage's quote*

My favourite songs are Amy's Song, Chem6A, Concrete Girl, Meant to Live and On Fire.

I listened to the CD song and figured out how to play 'On Fire' on the keyboard/Piano (both Melody on the right hand and harmony/chords in the left hand). If anybody's interested, I can share :grin: Obviously it's not perfect but it's a pretty good representation.. though I think I need to put it up a key... :)

Switchfoot and Lifehouse are the bands that originally got me into Christian music :) .

I wish they'd come to NZ some time (they came once, I've been told, but before I knew about them) so that I could see them live. You lucky Americans ;) .
