  • "... if you're not crying, why are you singing it? If you don't believe it with every ounce of you, then there's no point in singing it."

  • LOVE 

  • I would die happily singing any of the songs in Hello Hurricane. :')

  • i love this. i love switchfoot.

  • that is passion... 2:11 to 2:38

  • Switchfoot is an incredible band. My favorite without a doubt. Not only is there music amazing with a great message in each song, but they are sooo passionate about their creations and want to connect with their fans. GREAT!

  • @ElenareDarnhelm no way...

    i looked and its not there

  • @TheSwitchfootFan1 thank you!

  • @TheSwitchfootFan1 my favorite quote atm

  • another good band:S lol

  • Is Jon crying at 2:33? If he is, I just fell even more in love with him!

  • @reignofsparks42 ohh yes, he is!!!

  • @JoyMac That is the cutest thing ever!!! He's such an amazing person!

  • @TheSwitchfootFan1

    i agreee 100 % !

  • For the record, their songs are for HUMANITY.

  • i agree crazyMikeXX

  • awsome

  • Yes they are

  • Switchfoot isn't a christian band

  • @Switchfootfan100

    dude they tottally are

  • dude look at a album it is pop go to itunes it is pop

  • try actually asking the band, not their marketing tools.

    i can list about 50 bands that are completely christian, but are titled as rock metal or pop. thats what you get when you have secular marketing resources. but they really are.

  • ok dude i jets thot marketing but i sow a video and in it tim that thay are christian but the band is not

  • @7Avenged7X: @7Avenged7X: My goodness, how many times do we have to go over this? To settle this hopefully once and for all: "For us, it's a faith, not a genre", says Jon Foreman. "We've always been very open and honest about where the songs are coming from. For us, these songs are for everyone. Calling us 'Christian rock' tends to be a box that closes some people out and excludes them. And that's not what we're trying to do. Music has always opened my mind—and that's what we want"

  • Hello Hurricane is so diffrent from ho!gravity and the beautiful letdown

  • hey switchfoot, where is christ in your music? i don't see him there anymore

  • Hey, maybe try actually listening to the lyrics! That helps sometimes!

  • listen to "always" or "free" or "your love is a song"!!!

    Switchfoot isn't a worship band.

    If their lyrics would be christian all the time, they could never reach people outside the church!

    Their lyrics are profound, it often made me think about my life, my identity and my faith --> so they reached their aim!

  • agreed.............. i think they have a lot of metaphores too. Jon may not say it but theyre songs may relate to Christ in a way that not a lot of people understand but it makes total sense to Jon and Switchfoot.

    GO SWITCHFOOT

  • Right.

    But sometimes its obvious, for example:

    "Free, Come set me free!

    Down on my knees

    I still believe you can save me from me!"

    Switchfoot!

  • @crazyMikeXX

    they dont always specialize in worship music for their albums, but they certainly play worship music in certain accoustic shows. but theyre most definatly a christian band.

  • look harder

  • am I the only one here that got the pre-order package? I love the bonus demo CD. it's totally the most amazing album I've ever heard.. in my opinion. I love switchfoot so much.

  • I got the pre order package. the deluxe edition is amazing. i love the dvd.

  • i was at the concert the clips are from.

    i love houstonnnnn.

  • what is the name of the song he is singing around 2:40 ??

    it sounds amazing!!!

  • I'm pretty sure it's Yet. If you go on their MySpace, they have uploaded the album in it's entirety.

  • thanks found the song!!!

    whoa cant wait to see them on the 17th !!!

  • it's Always. and it is amazing. ha.

  • hahaha agreed!

  • its called 'always

    theres also an acoustic version'

  • I saw these guys do alot of the new mterial live...excellent rip-roaring-rock!!! I'm eagerly waiting this release where their other albums (as great as they've been) were not a priority...I think this is going to blow everyone out of the water with the heart and passion that these songs represent!

  • Switchfoot will never die

  • good lyrics + good music

  • one of my favorite combinations.

  • @dmpsodapop: who are you to say they're done? They're so not. And why do you hate Switchfoot so much. So much that you actually clicked on this video just to say they're done. And on their official podcast channel comment section you also said that. If you don't like them, then why search for them in youtube? Seriously why waste your time on a band you don't like?

  • lies.

  • ja kupuje :D ale jutro zapraszam wszystkich na

    PODWALE bo promocja pol kurczaka z rozna z frytkami i surowka z bialej i czerwonej kapusty , Beata wyjechala do Japonii wiec jest luz , jak cos pytajcie Jabluszko o Siergieja , pozdro switchfoot 4 lyfe

  • Everyday brings us closer to the 10th of november. and that's what we're all waiting forr!

  • :) 9 days away till "Hello Huricane".

  • Can't wait for the next album! I've just made BASS COVER of the song Easier Than Love, come check it out @ my channel!!

  • this is absolutely gonna be switchfoot's best album to date! i've only heard the song samples so far, but through them i've been able to grasp hold of what it will sound like. i love how they are able to continually evolve their music so that it isn't the same old thing every album. overall i think this album is going to have a more edgier rock sound to it with more guitar solos and live-sounding experimentation. it's definitely going to be worth the wait!

  • You don't know what you are talking about my friend.

    And who are you to judge someone else's music? Last time I checked, you haven't sold over 5 million records, correct me if I am wrong.

    At any rate, what is important to understand about Switchfoot is that they use their music as a platform for philanthropy. They have changed more lives than anyone can count, so beat it.

  • i cant wait to buy this album! i wish you will come again here in manila, i didnt manage to see you guys the last time here!

  • YOU ROOOOOOOOOCKK!!!!!

  • incredible album. can't wait to let my ears hear it again

  • can't freakin wait! NYC December 8th is gunna be the best night of my life.

  • You're love Jon Foreman.

    Pure love.

  • WOOOOOOOOOT

  • Yay!!! XD

  • Amazing.

  • I can hardly wait!

  • WOOHOO!!!!

  • CAN'T WAIT! =)

  • "always " is awesome!

  • Damn, this is going to be a fantastic album if only halve of the songs are going to be as good as the ones presented here.

    The last song here was already so great, loved it...!

  • You really feel the emotion in the music that's really good, the first time I can really really feel the emotion in it =). Seems like a very good album!

  • this an absolutely moving video, a must have CD, CAN NOT wait for its release.

  • 2:20 - 2:37 has become an inspiration to give a better worship

  • my goodness i just watched this and...

    I'M so PUMPED! emotion and talent it flowing in every which way of this record! go switchfoot!

  • This is gonna be amazing!!

  • Switchfoot is one of my all time favs. Seeing them live was absolutely amazing. There is so much emotion when they play.

  • Jon Foreman makes me cry every time he he says "if your not crying why are you singing it?" goodness. the guys a genius. being a musician that just...oh man.... that just hits our purpose on the nail on why we do music.

  • que bueno poder cantar estas canciones de la BANDA..... DIOS los guarde!!!

  • i like how they don't only have 1 or 2 good songs in their album, all there songs are good and suprise you every time

  • seriously!

  • wow, this record is gonna be amazing i can tell...powerful stuff

  • I love 2:21-2:37.

    That is my new take on music.

    He's holding back tears.

    The song just afterward is so touching.

    I can't wait for the CD!

  • I love you Switchfoot!!!HELLO HURRICANE!!

  • ooohhh man. this makes me so excited. i wish i had an extra fifty dollars lying around so i could get the deluxe edition cd... dangit.

  • so is the behind-the-scenes dvd just available with the preorder? or will that come out with the cd when it's released? just curious

  • i think it will be available even when its released.

  • cool, thanks

  • alguien lo puede subtitular??? no entiendo

  • This band is so talented!! :)

  • You hear heart in these songs. Wow! Can't wait either SF fans. :)

  • sounds real good!!! i give 10/10!!!

  • Is it just me, or has Jon gotten hotter as he has gotten older? I don't even listen to SF as much as I used to but damn...that man is soooooo fine.

  • this album is going to be awesome I know it. I love the first song in the clip, although is a piece of it I can't get it out of my head, I cant imagine when I hear the entire song. and album.

  • Can you hear it rise?!?!

    Up from the ground??!!?

    Can't drown it out!!!

    Can you hear it now??!!

    THIS IS THE SOUND OF A HEARTBEAT

    THIS IS THE SOUND OF A DESPERATION BOUND

  • It's been weeks upon weeks, but every time I see the beginning, all I can think is: CIA Agent Jon. It's a serious problem haha

  • Ya while he reaches behind his back and looks over his shoulder....

    ...someone's in trouble

  • haha me too. I love that part and the music fits perfectly. "Go!"

  • I think I've been to the beach at around 1:27... a couple of buddies and I actually met Chad there! Is it Cardiff by the Sea?? Weird, coz I'm from Cardiff, UK!!

  • thats not Cardiff at 1:27

  • swamis!

  • thats also not swamis because there are no cliffs

  • Comment removed

  • OMG! Switchfoot de regreso! enorme banda! xD ojala regresaran de nuevo a Guate, Mess of me está de Lujo :D

  • I can't even contain myself... I'm so pumped up for this CD!

    Switchfoot is just amazing in every way. I've loved this band so much since I first heard them and my love them and their music only grows. I've been looking so forward to this CD since I heard about it and seeing this video made me even more excited. Love you guys... I can't wait to hear what you have worked so hard on. =)

  • omg im so sorry i accidentally gave you a thumps down while i was trying to click the thumps up :(

  • what is the song at the beginning i like it

  • I think its "the sound"

  • it's called "the sound".

    isn't it amazing?! :)

  • It drops 11/10/09

    And PS, the song at the beginning leaves me in awe, and it's only 10 seconds

  • I think Hello Hurricane is going to be my most favorite Switchfoot Record to date.

  • this is amazing. anybody knows when it's gonna drop?

  • Is there any reason why not a single one of their songs have yet to make it on Guitar Hero or Rockband?

  • they look for more oldies and classics in the first games. but this would make good DLC imo.

  • very soon, there will be a song on Rockband or Guitar Hero. I know it. :)

  • i cryed....!!!!

  • omg! that is so deep n touching! u guys r amazing n we luv u. i rlly appreciate everyting that u put into ur music. rlly touching especially 2:12 to 2:37. i luv it. keep it up! cant wait!

  • I have watched you grow up since jr high and am so VERY proud of all you are doing! You're amazing artists, and fine young men! Can't wait till the new CD comes out :-)

  • Can't wait for this album! Sounds like it's gonna be even more powerful than the last. Way to go guys!

  • i think it definitely has more meaning. :)

  • Five of the most amazing men on the planet. They live for the song...but understand it's a gift from God. They realize their responsibility as musicians, they live for Christ, they sing for us. Deep souls who sing my heart. They get it. They just get it.

  • I am interested in how these new albums will sound due the record lable change. Maybe more creative, mabye not. They make good music, Christian or not, they are enjoyable, even to me, a non - christian.

  • I can't even express how I feel about this music. I am no expert, I am just a humble fan who is so blessed through this music. I write a little music and to think about what song I would die singing is so deep. I can't wait to see what God will do with this album! THANK YOU SWITCHFOOT!

  • I've talked with Jon Foreman personally, and he is most definitely a Christian. Have you heard his EPs? They are filled beautiful songs, and many of them come straight (almost word for word) from the Psalms and Old Testament prophets.

    But I digress. Their music would still be brilliant either way!

  • Even if you don't agree with their faith, you would have to have some sort of mental handicap not to love their music.

  • Does It really matters if the're Christian or not?

    Their song still amazing

    I'm waiting for Hello Hirricane!!!!!

  • Getting all hung up on if they are "Christian" or not is silly and short sighted. There is more to it and to life... it's like getting hung up on the color of their hair - it's a part of them, but not the whole story... this discussion gets boring and pointless - does their music sound good and say something? Yes? Great! problem solved.

  • the members are, their music might not be labeled as "christian" but as for their faith is concered they are. their music is more symbolic

  • wow... Switchfoot is truly a christian band. They would not go to christian music festivals if they weren't. But anyways, when jon talks about singing songs that you truly believe in, that truly gave me goosebumps. That's why i like switchfoot's music so much, because their songs actually MEAN something. I don't think that there is one song that switchfoot has written just because they needed a filler on an album...

  • i love switchffot is my favorite band and let me tell you something just read the lyrics and tell me, they dosen't sing to God?, come on i dont know if they are really christian or not , but their lyrics help to many people to understand the power or the holy of God, but remmeber they are humans as us so they could fall, so as cristhian we have to pray for their, and pray for the sinners and do our work, but just read the lyrics for they aren't domoniac. but is my opinion.

  • I love this band. I think Switchfoot is one of the main reasons I have remained with God for such a long period of my life. They are most definitely my favorite band, producing inspiring, fantastic music!!!

  • I love you switchfoot, truly.

    Sounds amazing. X

  • i got it already the reason why playing with Blue October, just think as Switchfoot as cristhians and thnk about why, but don't tell it to anyone, just thnk. there IS a reason

  • I've been a fan of switchfoot for eight years now. And they ARE christians.

  • oh the members are very christian! but jon foreman himself said he doesn't like the band being referred to as a christian band because the term boxes them in, ya know? :)

  • switchfoot IS christian!!!

  • haha, Blue October isn't a Demonic Band...Jon Have to see it!

  • haha, Blue October is a demonic band.. Jon have to see it!

  • just sing for God again

    are you REALLY a christian band...?

    now dont get me wrong I love Switchfoot, but playing with Blue October a DEMONIC band it can confuse

  • Blue october aren't demonic :S

  • you need to look at christ, jesus said i did not come to sit with the so called good people, but sinners, i dont know bowt you, but im pretty sucky, jesus also said be a light to the world, not hide in your house, you partake in the world everyday, you dont need to do what they do, but jesus calls us to go in the world, not to hide ourselfs like a ostridge, how did the bible get passed on, someone telling you right?? paul says if i dont preach how will they hear, in there case its music preachin

  • haha switchfoot isnt a christian band and blue october isnt a demonic band.

  • great trailer!!!! wanna have my cd!!!

  • Me too dude

  • Hey! Do you guys might want to consider making this a video response to the other trailer or something? idk

  • "MCpaddler11: Switchfoot HAS to be the band that Jesus listens to on his ipod when he is working. :) Love you guys. Keep up the good work."

    Best band quote ever!

  • I cannot wait for this album! Switchfoot is my favorite band of all time, and they are just incredible <3

  • hey again. just wanted to ask, does anyone know what the song is called after the part when jon says something about "not believing it with every ounce of you.." or something like that, because i really love that song!!

  • its called "Always"

  • Switchfoot, you guys are a true inspiration. Not simply to play music but to live your life with integrity. You guys are truly divinely inspired and I commend you for your integrity. Switchfoot HAS to be the band that Jesus listens to on his ipod when he is working. :) Love you guys. Keep up the good work.

    God bless.

  • They never cease to amaze me. NEVER. :') *cries tears of joy for their new album*

  • first of all, can't wait for Hello Hurricane.

    secondly, love Jon's hair. <3

    thirdly, I was crying together with Jon. I love, when people are showing their real feelings. (:

    and at last and fourthly - beautiful video! <3

    world loves you, Switchfoot. keep doing your thing the same way. (:

  • Came to Portugal pease amigos!!

  • Fantastic......

  • I love this band! Ever since I went to their concert I knew they would be my favourite band. I love their sincerity which is really lacking in so much music these days. Thanks for keeping it real guys. Love what Jon said!

  • i want this album! : )

    there're my fav band... not just because of their music but because of their belief as well. - a hungarian switchfoot fan

  • It didnt few like the type of song you didnt want to dye sonly. If youre not crying why are you singing it? You know if you dont believe with every ounce of you then, there is no point in singing it. -Jon Foreman

  • This made me so excited for the album :)

    I respect them so much.

  • I cannot wait for this album to come outttt

    My brother and I were at their concert in Toronto this past June...when they played "Hello Hurricane" and "Mess of Me" we looked at each other and just KNEW that the next album was going to be sooo crazy (in a good way)...

    I'm sooo pumped for it:D

  • ^^ can´t wait can´t wait! please, stop me, i can´t wait! jajaja cool!

  • This is Going To be A Huge Hit, Can't Wait To Buy It

  • Sometimes I feel like they're hyping up Hello Hurricane TOO much... but then again, this seems to have been a huge turning point for Switchfoot, so as long as the album turns out amazing (which from the songs I've heard it will be) all this hype will be justified.

  • they're not hyping it enough!! :)

  • can´t wait  ^^

  • can't wait for this!!

  • Jon tearing up = pure honesty

  • You see, i've read many of these Comments, and if you count it down, it comes to the Point, that Switchfoot is and were making Music with all of what they are, and they Feel.

    Especially the fact, that they Move so many People, indepentend of who they are, or what they Believe.

    Keep on going Switchfoot, i'll walk this Road along ;-P

    Ps: If you gonna come ever to Cologne, i'ĺl be there , and Hello Hurricane is already Pre-Ordered. You've made me a great Birthday Gift Guys ;-D

  • definitely preordering this.

  • the song in the beginning is unbelievable!!!!!!

  • You rock!!

  • Greattttttttttt

  • Comment removed

  • I dunno why I continue to be surprised by the relentless honesty and dedication of you guys towards your music and your audience. You seem so laid back but underneath that surfer's mellowness there's this whole other level of emotional experience. Thanks for sharing with us.

  • i gotta pre orader is soon!!!!!

  • I can't wait for this album, it's gonna be amazing!!
