@DriftedStar I understand where you're coming from. Anyone can feel down and listen to this song. It is a great song that can reach out to believers & non-believers. There's no limit. :)
@YouDontKnowMe1623 I know, everytime I have a bad day then I listen to Switchfoot and they always make my day a lot better, and I listen to them even on good days, So I am always in a good mood when listening to Switchfoot :)
LOVE THIS SONG, wish it wasnt christian, heard it when it came out and now just found it was a christian song. Still love it though, the concept, not so much.
@beev7 why does the fact that it's christian ruin it for you? Do you know how many songs are written about god or religious aspects of life by artists who aren't christian? Just take the song for whatever it means to you, and love it for that. Songs aren't meant to be interpreted any other way than by the person who hears it. Regardless of what Switchfoot wrote it about, keep it about what it means to you. But just because it's christian shouldn't ruin it for you.
People either rejecting or loving this song solely because its christian are idiots. Music is music. I'm not even christian, but as long as you find meaning in it, thats your right to enjoy it.
Religion isn't wrong. But also don't use this as another form of "propaganda"
Thank you Lord Jesus for a wonderful 2010..Looking forward for PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS 2011..Happy New Year To All...Thanks uploader for sharing your wonderful video...
this song can be about anything it's what you personnally take from it... sure it might be inspired by something but you can think it is something totally different from what they wrote it about (^_^)
@DriftedStar i bet you though if you would ask the members of the band they would tell you that is a way to worship the Lord. Yes, it can apply to others besides God but it is my personal belief that the song was written as praise to God.
this song is so powerful i luv it and the pictures of on here match the song its wow gd i luv this song it reminds me of my memmories its so nice luv it!
This is one of the greatest songs to me, I havn't been around long, but at my peak of my life finding the music I enjoyed, even though I liked alot of hard stuff this still made my list of songs that can never get old, to me it brings back alot of memorys.
music is meant to be interperated by the listener or am i wrong? so those who want to believe HE is god, be happy in thinkin' so... and those who think HE is just a he, crack a smile too.
Switchfoot is awesome. No matter what title you give them. The lyrics to their songs r really good. And the music is great too. This song is awesome and so is 24. :)
alright i think that people believe what they will and there is nothing anyone can do to change that. it can either be a love song or a "christian song". either way one thing is certain, this is a good song. lets leave it at that and leave your personal thoughts with yourselves and just agree. getting defensive doesnt prove a point. just makes you stand our as a defiant asshole who thinks they need to be heard
you certainly can like this song. The thing about switchfoot is that they dont want to be tied to a label like "Christian Rock," they want to make music that reaches many different people and transends boundries that are created by differences in beliefs
I'd just like to point out that song can't be Christian. A song is not a living thing. A Christian is a person who beleives in Jesus Christ. Therefore a song can not beleive in a religion, alas there is no such thing as Christian music. The artists can be Christian and write songs maybe with a Christian aspect to them but don't say you can't listen to it because it's Christian or vice versa. It is a song and anyone can listen to it if they want to. =]
Gotta disagree... A song CAN be defined as Christian depending on it's content. If the lyrics are given a religious message by the artist then that automatically adds Christian conotations. I will admit that people will often have their own individual thoughts and opinions about the origin of certain songs - and as a result it's often subject to their interpretation. But depending on the thoughts of the artist at the time of writing, a song CAN be Christian in it's structure.
I see what your saying but my point is that the definition of a Christian is literally "a person who believes in Jesus Christ; adherent of Christianity" Therefore by definition a song cannot be classified as Christian because it has no beleif and is not a person. I'm not saying there can't be songs about Christianity and Jesus and stuff, I'm just saying i don't like classifying it. I agree with you in it having Christian structure, but i refuse to say that it IS Christian
I'm not flaming, but calling the song Christian doesn't mean that people are saying the song goes to church every Sunday. lol. When it comes to music, Christian is a type of genre, like Pop or Rock is a genre. Christian songs mean that the song is of or relating to a Christian belief. A song can be Christian. I think is a smart-alec thing to do to try and be so "proper definition" just to stick your nost in the air.
I love the song and its message, although everyone interprets it their own way.
wow, definately not trying to be a smart alec nor am i sticking my nose in the air. I'm merely pointing something out, i'm not forcing you to agree with it i'm just saying open up your mind a little and think about it.
Also, not all Christians go to church every Sunday and being a Christian doesn't mean that you do go to church every week. Not trying to be a smart alec again, i'm just saying. Not trying to start an theological argument here =]
lol christian vs non christian... everybodys like w/e
i know its a song thats just a plain good song regardless of any religious context... but within the context of Christ the song becomes soooooo much more beautiful I cant even put it into words
Yeah, but his worldview influences the song, artists can't do anything to prevent that. It's what influences the lyrics/style.
He loves the Lord, and he notices the difference between God and the World. That's his worldview influence. Just as someone that doesn't have know God has different kinds of lyrics.
@Losersarelovely But Jesus told us in the Bible that we would be persecuted for believing in him. So, let them say what they have to say! My God is more powerful than their words.
@DriftedStar I understand where you're coming from. Anyone can feel down and listen to this song. It is a great song that can reach out to believers & non-believers. There's no limit. :)
