  • Thank you <3 Switchfoot <3 every time I listen I have an eargasm :P LOL

  • Amen :D

  • COEXIST

  • please locate in the "religious texts"... "love thy neighbor, BUT do NOT tolerate his/her preferences." PLEASE!

  • One of the best thigs about switchfoot is that even though they are a christian band they make songs about things that everyone experiences, so their music isn't tied to just christianity. Anybody can listen to it and take meaning from it.

  • who cares if it's a Christian group or not, why should this matter. I've liked this song for yrs & had no idea they were a Christian based group until some people on here started to get bent out of shape.

  • Christianity, Judaism, Egyptian mythology and Greek mythology all come from the same place... Egypt. It isn't a big secret either. Just not very profitable to mention this fact in the west.

  • Religion can suck my dick..But I believe in God ya dig,now stfu

  • 8 lb 4 oz tiny little baby jesus its ok to fly

  • COEXIST

  • uhhhhhh... I don't know if you all knew this already but god isn't real sooooooo, SHUT UP!!!!!!!

  • @jesus81668 Whether there is a God or not, we need love and peace. Telling people to shut up isn't peaceful man... Chill and enjoy the beautiful music!

  • I believe in Jesus and belong to a non denominational church...... technically it is religion because we gather together in a church to worship, but we are all free christians who rest upon the Bible as the final say. Call it what you want. I am a christian who goes to church and believes in Jesus Christ my Lord and savior!

  • Jesus > Religion

  • Comment removed

  • Guys its a good song, you dont need to be religious to enjoy it, calm down

  • Thumbs up for JESUS our SAVIOR

  • Hey guys! I just uploaded a guitar cover of this song and I would love it if you guys could check it out :) God Bless

  • Okay listen and listen hard because I will only say this once: people have different views from you and a nothing you can ever say or do will change their minds; so, get over posting rants about other peoples views and I don't know, enjoy your life?

  • @MrRyan23xx sorry sid you say lack of proof? look around you, the people, the air, the elements, physics, gravity, the universe, the stars, planets. heheh I think thats enough proof mate, you're just ignorant

  • arent these lyrics based off a poem by T.S. Eliot and of course John Steinbeck with the mice and men reference

  • I heard this years ago and now I found it again and ya know what, its still pretty awesome.

  • Atheists crack me up sometimes. They act like they're so much smarter than religious folk yet as the same time they constantly feel like they have to prove themselves by putting down anyone who doesn't believe like them. Shit, I'm not religious but I can appreciate a good song when I hear one. I don't have to turn it into a freaking argument over theism.

  • @SkunkyAngry

    Don't lump all religious folks together. Not all religious people believe in a type of God that was created by bronze age people 3000 years ago.

  • JESUS IS THE WAY! spread the truth

  • This music video kills the other one by VEVO.

  • You listen to this great song and uplifting lyric about humanity being one. Then you listen to a rick ross song and this fat piece of shit i rapping about how he's gonna fuck your bitch because he drives a Porsche. How do people listen to that terrible hit called todays rap music? Oh yea and before you pull the race card i'm black o stfu

  • After watching there new (dark horse's) video and seeing him w/long hair, its like "where did the time go?

  • so how did an amazing song become a argument over religion?

  • @KidGriM1155 anytime a band puts them selves and their beliefs into the public most take it as a chance to persecute or point fingers, rather than enjoying the art for what it is.

  • @KidGriM1155 Cos this is a christian rock band. And the lyrics are partly inspired by religious themes.

  • You know what i just realized? the people who are fighting over this video? You are talking about a you tube video.... And yes i realize the grander scale of what this group sings about . shame on the people who try to start fights. But there should me more shame for those that let it get to you. Listen to the song comment how you like . we still are all here together Atheist , Christian, Hindu , Everyone. Personally i believe in god, but i can also respect the people who don't.

  • Great song!

  • A quick question for all the the non believers. Why are you commenting on a video by a Christian group? If u dont believe why are u taking time to comment on something you believe dont exist? Hmmm? Im not trolling and looking for atheist videos and commenting. Why? because i dont believe what in what they do so i dont waste my time commenting.

  • I love this song. I see all the evil in the world...you have to ask yourself where does the good and bad come from? Theres a lot that science cant explain i believe that if bad and evil exist then my God exist you cant have one without the other. How do u explain everything? It cant just be explained by what we can only see.

  • Fail troll fail lol

  • AMAZING SONG

    AMAZING VIDEO.

  • i had a bf who didnt like this song ... now hes single

    no joking lawlz

    hes dead

  • @blacklove319 aren't you original.

  • I wanna cry... I always listened to this when I was younger. Now, im a teen

  • Who else thinks this Music video is better than Vevo's version?

  • I love the Lord God Almighty who is the God and father of Jesus the Christ, a Switchfoot is hot. This song rocks.

  • Switchfoot is an example of what I call Archangel Music. Jonah 33 and Casting Crowns are also good examples of this genre of music.

  • @odingreen OMG, DUDE GO GET A BIBLE AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS

  • @redbulletlive

    This is the original song, the first one I ever heard and definitely the only I love

  • Is it me or is this version faster and higher? I like it :)

  • this a christian song?? dammn lol i aint even know i just listened to it cause it sounds freakin awsome!!!

  • lufett hehe kya guz2 q mg cbnda let eh..

  • i don't even like christain rock but this is a badass song

  • bad uploading sorry this song rocks but its a little fast. if you play it on your tuned guitar you'll notice its a sharp higher

  • Quit your arguing and listen ;)

  • religion = mind control that is all i have to said.

  • @manuelkk2 i like your views, i agree

  • Comment removed

  • i seen the guys yesterday at the big ticket

  • Im atheist and i love switchfoot :)

  • Uhhh what happened to just enjoying the music and knowing we were meant to live for so much more in what ever way we understand that?

  • WHAT SIN IS BEING TAKING AWAY!?!?!? I DONT HAS NO SIN! GET AT ME

  • All religious people are idiots, yeah I said it, come at me BRO!

  • @StratoBlaster420 i love you man

  • @StratoBlaster420 agreed.

  • @StratoBlaster420 Goodluck burning in hell

  • @StanKyBreaThCA Good luck showing evidence that hell exists... LOL

  • @StratoBlaster420 yeah go ahead and say whatever you want behind the safety of yer little computer screen

  • @baseballphilip97 Bitch, like you would do something if I said it to your fat face? Fuck off and die.

  • I love God,Allah and Jesus Christ... but i have to admit... sometimes religion is bullshit

  • Yay for breaking 4 million <3

  • Here is a fantastic music video that the Christian world will love! It's called "Don't forget about the walk." It was written and created by a small town pastor that is also making a feature film and has written four books. You don't want to miss it! You can go to his website by going to alanmakimusicDOTcom or search for Alan Maki on youtube. It would only take a second to look and I promise you wouldn't be let down. Look him up! He has wonderful devotionals and an app too!

  • ahhhh everytime I hear this on the radio is just makes me day so much better

  • Thumbs up for pink turles and pickles and donkey bacon!

  • for some reason the first riff reminds me of "clown" by korn...

  • Comment removed

  • does anybody who posts a comment ever read it and go "Wow, I really typed that?" cause that's what would happen if half of you read the comments you made...

    (and you can't say shit, i was first Baptist, converted to Catholic, went Atheist, turned Satanic, and now i'm Deist, I've lived it all)

  • I don't believe in god and I love this band! Just listen to the fucking music!

  • Whoa So, How did this become religion? o0

  • there is no god only evolution but that doesnt mean that this song has other meaning than god.. any logical person would see there is not a god look at the facts the bible has not told one truth the only thing thr bible supports is its good morals that teach people to live good lives and goos people and gives people with no future and nothing to hold onto something worth living for therefore it is productive.

  • causing a chemical release so medically speaking it goes nowhere*

  • @jesusdisciple91 ur question of why r we who we are is one that can be answered by one of to concepts known as nature and nurture, and as far as his point being void how can u prove the existence of god or gods, and when u sleep ur mind goes no where it enters the rem cycle vausing

  • Holy Shit... 2006

  • @iirevokepk The video is even older, 2003 .It's not really old , but yeah xD .

  • Damn, bro. I used to watch VH1 in the mornings like, all the time, and this song would play. I'd instantly relax.

  • When Fuse actually showed videos now its turning all MTV ...

  • Guys just relax and listen to the fucking song...

  • I remember when I found out they were Christian band but I still love this song, reminds me of HS

  • I love this song so freaking much!!:)

  • Im an atheist who believes all religions, including the simple belief that God exists, is the biggest evil in our world, but I still love this song. So catchy. Hilariously enough, I've met died in the wool Christians who listen to some OVERTLY Satanic music. Which is more strange? O_o

  • @makhmaltchi THEORETICALLY YOUR STATEMENT IS NULL AND VOID. CAN YOU DISPROVE THE EXISTENCE OF GOD? CAN YOU DISPROVE THE EXISTENCE OF AN AFTERLIFE? LOOK AT THE TERM "AFTER..LIFE" IT'S LABELED THAT FOR A REASON. WHEN YOU SLEEP WHERE DOES YOUR MIND GO? ANOTHER WORLD CORRECT? HAVE YOU READ THE HOLY BOOKS? QURAN? BIBLE? HAVE YOU SEEN THE SIGNS THAT RELATE TO RECENT EVENTS? AND IF GOD DIDN'T EXIST HOW ARE WE ALL SPECIFICALLY THE PEOPLE WE ARE. HOW ARE YOU YOU? AND HOW AM I I? IT'S CALLED YOUR SOUL....

  • @jesusdisciple91 The absence of proof in itself is enough to deny something. You can't ask someone to prove something doesn't exist.

    You do however need proof in order to validate something does exist.

  • @MrRyan23xx

    Ha, that's horseshit. You can say that about almost anything! There's no proof that extraterrestrials exist but statistically speaking it's almost a certainty. There's no proof that love exists either but I defy you to find a person who says it doesn't.

    Not to mention, to say there's no proof of a deity isn't true. It's just proof YOU wouldn't accept, whether it's a feeling, an awakening experience or just sense of presence. It's there, just not to you.

  • @SkunkyAngry So statistically speaking there is a God? LOL well show me these statistics backed up by proof and REASON. And btw i didn't say God doesn't exist. I only said that the lack of proof of his existence is enough to deny it.

    Also i do like this song. Doesn't mean i have to like religion though.

  • Figuring out answers about God is an interesting journey. My recommendation is to check out the book or video 'Case for Christ' by Lee Strobel, he is an investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune, that goes to some pretty extreme lengths to research the facts and evidence of Jesus Christ. You can read the book or get the 45 min video from NetFlix. For a quick video explaining his journey type 'Lee Strobel's Testimony' into youtube. Hope this helps. Have a great day everyone.

  • @makhmaltchi YOUR GONNA REGRET WHAT U JUST SAID MY FRIEND.... I HOPE GOD FORGIVES U AND I HOPE YOU CHANGE YOUR WAYS. THIS WORLD ISN'T GONNA LAST FOREVER YOU KNOW AND WHEN ITS OVER ITS TIME FOR GOD TO COLLECT REMEMBER THAT....

  • @jesusdisciple91 ILL DIE AND TURN TO ASH BRO. THATS ALL. IM LIVING MY LIFE ON MY MORALS, MY TERMS, MY BELIEFS. NOT RULES SET OUT BY A "GOD" THAT IS NO MORE REAL OR PROVEN THEN FUCKING ZUES OR POSEIDON. DEATH IS AN INEVITABILITY AND AN AFTERLIFE DOES NOT EXIST.

  • THIS SONG IS NOT ABOUT RELIGION. ITS ABOUT LOVING GOD. AND HOW THERE'S NOTHING ON THIS PLANET THAT CAN MAKE US ANY HAPPIER THAN GOD CAN. WE WANT MORE THAN THIS WORLDS GOT TO OFFER AND THAT'S GOD. STOP USING RELIGION AS AN EXCUSE TO NOT WORSHIP GOD BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANNA FOLLOW RIGHT FROM WRONG. GOD MADE US TO LIVE FOR HIM. STOP BEING SELFISH. LEARN TO LOVE FORGET HOW TO HATE.

  • @jesusdisciple91 GOD CAN SUCK A DICK. I LIVE FOR NOW NOT FOR AN AFTERLIFE. AND I LIVE ON MY OWN TERMS AND NOT SOME MYTHICAL CREATURES.

  • FUCK RELIGION SUCK A DICK

  • @makhmaltchi Religion is not only about God, infact you don't have to have a "religion" to believe in God. All you have to do is follow the Bible the way God wants you too. I believe the definition for religion today is silly. God wants us to love and be faithful. Love everyone you dont need religion to go to Heaven its your relationship with God

  • People really need to understand that this world isn't gonna give u the life God is after here.

  • They are saying "We were meant to LIVE for so much more" They are saying that people are not looking at the big picture, and that is our lord and savior, Jesus Chrst. He is my life. And you people should care that it is Christian, because Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

  • Everytime I listen to this sonq

    I always feel better about myself I need to try harder and never give up

  • 284 people shut the fuck up!!

  • I don't care if it's christian. I loved this song when I was 11 and I still love it now.

  • one of my fav songs ever

  • can everyone just shut up and enjoy the music? thanks :3

  • Comment removed

  • 90% of the videos of bands who are Christian have nothing but comments arguing about religion, it's endless. So those in the faith, get out there in the world and show your beliefs, you're not going to make a difference on YouTube, only by personal compassion. Those on the differing end, enjoy the music, everyone has their reasons for their music, who knows, maybe one day you might agree with them. But like I said enjoy. I'm sure the artists would enjoy compliments better than hateful comments.

  • @name9nah If you proclaim a belief people will challenge it.

  • @name9nah i'm the harmonics in this song

  • People need to going so hard with their their religion, not everybody wants religion shoved down their throat. On other hand people need to stop making fun of other people for having religious beliefs and something to believe in. Lets just enjoy the song please?

  • please dont rant about religion! Its really annoying and offensive! Thumbs up to show them to stop the conflict! (atheist here)

  • @JapaAppa You're the first atheist I've seen said that. I'm a Christian and I admire you. Thumbs up for you!

  • @Jakata2327 Switchfoot does

  • This song is so relevant to recent times. Brilliant.

  • Awesome song,brings back a few good memories I have

  • The sweet love of Jesus Christ through music! Amen!!!

  • stop talking about religious bullshit and just enjoy the music

  • no offense at all but

  • @Jakata2327 Yeah, a lot of people actually. Sad to see you gave it up, it really makes life a lot more interesting. Granted I do agree with the new digital age it does make it harder to read.

  • Does anyone read the bible these days?

  • jesus christ was a stupid sand nigger who was just a man. not a god or any better than the you or i, or the hobo under the bridge smoking rocks and jacking off dogs.

  • @saberwulf so your are technically saying that you believe in jesus?

  • @TheCameron311 i dont believe in jesus, the myth, no. however, i do see what you are trying to do, but you kinda failed in the way you said it. i dont doubt he ever existed back 2000+ years ago, but he was a man just like me or you. nothing more, nothing less. not a god, never was, and never will be. 

  • @pricesells that was the best xomment i've read on youtube for a while

  • Why can't we all get along! I live in America were people of all races and beliefs can live a equal life! And all of you seem to not care! Instead of spending your life arguing rise above and live for something much more! I respect your beliefs but really stop with all this arguing... It gets you nowere!

  • @MrTaylorowns i live in america, but what you said about all races living an equal life is far from true, there are still things happening that keep poor and minoritys down, andd thats a fact, im white so i have oppurtunities that alot of black or mexican people my age dont have, but to actually think that they have it equal to me, is foolish, not starting crap or anything

  • any of you christ-core fans out there ever stop and think that maybe YOU were meant to live for more than mindlessly adhering to the decrepit statures of a religion hopelessly afflicted with corruption and avarice? His word has been horribly misconstrued, youre not gonna find it in churches or religion bestow meaning unto your own lives. make your own truths

  • @piecesells Christ is my truth

  • @piecesells GET RAPED BITCH!!!!!!

  • @piecesells Organized religion is a system, and can be corrupted like any other entity that involves humans. You could say our world's political and economic systems are even more corrupt, and that people are even more fed up with them. I think Switchfoot would agree with your statement. There's so much more to life than dead religion and mindlessly following rules or creeds, but no amount of avarice makes God any less loving or redeeming. Do not be so quick to judge all Christians as 'mindless'

  • @piecesells u r a dick

  • @piecesells Duh religion is afflicted with corruption and avarice; so's the entire world. Don't judge Christianity based on the actions of a few.

  • @piecesells:

    Wow your a tool. using youtube to teach the masses about the feats or failings of something as large as religion which has been around in some form or another since man first became aware? if your such a philosophy nut you could teach at a city req center or borrow a gym at your local high school. hey you could even offer coffee and oreos.

  • @sirsparco09 haha wow bud, you really have the audacity to criticize me for expressing my opinion on youtube, a website designed specifically for the purposes of self-expression and communication? If you disagree with what ive said, well thats your prerogative, but i really dont understand why you feel it necessary to perpetuate meaningless derision against someone youve never met.

  • @sirsparco09 oh and the next time you condescendingly rebuke someone on youtube (which im sure happens quite often) id avoid making any allusions to family guy if you want to be taken seriously

  • @piecesells People misconstrue the word, not the word itself. The gospel is called the good word because it is the good word, it states that we have a salvation and we are meant to live for so much more. Because our sin has been taken away by the sacrifice on the cross. As if a dam 10 miles across and 10 miles long crashes and you are right in front of it, and just as it is about to hit you, a fissure opens and takes up every drop. That is the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. God Bless

  • @pierces19941 Tell that to people who die in hurricanes.

  • @pierces19941 im the harmonics in this song. god bless

  • @piecesells nawww dawg i totally disagree with you . You re belittling Christ to a religion. Christ is way more than the way you depicted it & it is meant to live for. Finding your own truths will only go so far & will create more little meaning thank you think. The truth IS Christ.

    How about YOU stop and think why people think this is worth living for. Ignore your perception about "religion" and instead think why people would just follow a Christ without u thinking they're just foolish people.

  • @piecesells I guess that leaves me out of it then, I don't believe in a religion. I believe in a God that sent his son down born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and then sentenced to die one of the most painful cruelest ways known to man, hanging on a cross, after being buried he rose again on the third day. So thanks for letting me know one more reason not to mindlessly going through ritual after ritual to try and appease a god. But live for the God who made heaven and earth!!!!

  • @jimhadly Well said.

  • @jimhadly

    Your belief that god sent a part of him in human form to die for the original sins of adam and eve from the Jewish bible is called "dogma" and thus constitutes a religion.

    If you have a belief system with an established point of view that deals with the supernatural, that is called a religion. There is no way around it.

  • @Intranetusa Point taken, however most religions for example Catholicism or Islam require certain rituals and those rituals to be done in a certain way. As a Christian I am free to worship God and His Son Jesus Christ anyway I choose. That is way different from most religions. Yes I do consider myself religious for want of a better word but I am not stuck like most other people in performing and or saying rituals and prayers to make myself worthy of God and His Son.

  • @jimhadly

    I see. So I believe the proper description would be you do have a religion, but you don't like the institutions of organized religion.

  • @jimhadly catholicism is a form of christianity. So in saying you're a christian without specifying without denomination is incorrect. You could be lutheran. Even in that branch of christianity there are several branches in it. Such as the ELCA and the Missouri Senade

  • @piecesells no.

  • @piecesells WORD

  • @piecesells /watch?v=wxQe3IPvl-E&feature=r­elated

  • its funny how all these songs from the 90's and early 2000's that i listened to when they came out they were just songs to me, but now that im listening to them all over again i figure out that they have always had a strong meaning..

  • this guy looks like the happier side of kurt cobain....Switchfoot sngs are more positive as nirvana's is more negative

  • @TheGuitardude94 Actually a lot of Nirvana songs didn't really mean anything... a lot of their songs Cobain wrote the lyrics literally five minutes before they recorded the song :P

  • @OrangeMango30 dude he was a voice of a generation, just b/c he wrote them in 5 minutes doesn't mean they don't have meaning...maybe he wasn't trying to put soo much meaning but, they do have a moral point in almost all of his songs

  • @TheGuitardude94 Cobain himself would probably disagree with that but i do agree that there is a point to a lot of Nirvana's songs, intended or not.

  • @OrangeMango30 but what i was originally meaning was , switchfoot puts a positive message, where as nirvana puts negative or pessemistic messages. but is switchfoot rele all about christian religion?

  • @christiancolt1 honestly you do realize this can mean more than god and jesus and it was a joke you idiot and i dont belive in god im an athiest

  • Is it true that they are a christian band??? [(pls answer)]

  • @chesternolan jon foreman is an evangelical christian however he has said that switchfoot is music for all people

  • this song's about circumcision and masturbation. END CIRCUMCISION!

  • Hope I'm not the only black person that likes this song and Switchfoot

  • best. song. ever.

  • Hey guys, you should check us out "Lights On The Atlantic"! we are a band with a punk rock sound! You should go to our page and listen to our new single "Broken" and tell us what you think! and dont forget to like our facebook page! we are going to release our cover of "stereo hearts" soon! Thanks!

  • i first saw this in like 8th grade, i dug it.

    however, i never knew it was talking about how were MEANT to live for entities greater than possessions, lust, drugs, etc.

    Thumbs Up for hope in CHRIST!

    (please please also check out my Hope-Driven Poetry Channel!)

  • @VeryFreeBird WELL SAID! Join the army of God, through the enlister (Christ, brought by le passio de Christi[The passion of Christ] ) We can all join the army. It's perfectly easy to join, and if you're in His army, then you're surely garunteed to eternal life.

  • and Vice Verses (their new album) is actually a wonderful, wonderful album <3

  • This is my favorite song of all time.

  • Used to love these guys. Now I really dont care for them. But this song i still great, and ill eventually give their new album vice verses a listen.
