Switchfoot - Selling The News (Track Six)

[godisnotdead21]

I couldn´t ask for something more... Jon rapping. WoW SWITCHFOOT Rules!!!

[gyasicockrell]

@SHYYYT69 he kind of does suncribe plz and watch all my videos

[SHYYYT69]

Jon kinda sounds like TobyMac AWESOME AZZ!

[Straw1berry3]

Yeah!!! Jon be rappin' *^_^*

[bizybee1994]

Wow! Indescribable! I am absolutely SPEECHLESS!!!

[4MusicSound]

@street927 its more like RockRaping like its more Rock than Rap, music is based on the instruments mostly. But yeah the song is Bloody Brilliant !

[KoalSw]

Salaries are paid with the ads not the verbs. Greatest written line in history.

[omgthebonster]

man this song is so darn creative and awesome. seriously, is there anything switchfoot can't do?

[gbsons]

This has the same vibe as Skillet's Looking for Angels

[sprolls045]

@gbsons comparing Switchfoot to Skillet should be considered an abomination.

[MrHervik]

Suena muy industrial esto...

[BackfallGenius]

holy shit, amazing album. Favorite song off of it!

[bryanh2992]

See, opinions are easier to swallow than facts

The greys instead of the whites and the blacks

If you shoot it too straight it won't come back

We're selling the news

so true

[anca0V]

astonishing lyrics, unfortunately this is a song for today's society ...

[Auestyn]

Screw raping the replay button, why doesn't Youtube just invent a repeat button? D:<

[cutiepie316289]

@Auestyn just put it on a play list and click the auto play... It will just repeat

[vischkers]

this tune reminds me of Don Henley's tune "Dirty Laundry"

[nibsaucexd]

this song is about not believing everything you see on mainstream news media.

I am glad they did this.

[MoTroutHunter]

@nibsaucexd By saying "mainstream media", are leaving out any particular channel by chance? The best thing we can all do for the sanity of our nation is to seriously listen to the people, channels, stations, reporters, etc. that we don't normally agree with. Instead of only listening to people who say what we want to hear, give the rest of them a chance to change your mind.

[street927]

I didn't know Jon could Rap...

[superclaydude]

@street927 it's spoken word, but still, good song. :)

[lifeliver777]

@street927 He's THAT talented :P

[agapeluv]

@street927 Yeah, I know right. But the style is more like spoken word.

[ZeroKnoble]

First time I heard this song I hated sooo much. I can't understand why I all of a sudden love it.

[YouTub3Usernam3]

@ZeroKnoble I think its called "coming to your senses" haha

[Pe0ads]

I love this track so much :D Especially as seeing I just started listening a bit to Scroobius Pip (check v=q_Gh8TWpQE8, similar style to Switchfoot), and both him and this song have inspired me to write similar songs blending singing and rapping/spoken word :-)

[TheElissaluvsu]

love it baba

[marsbombdiggity]

so far loving the new album! they sound different but in a good way

[TheFreddiericks]

least favorite switchfoot song but its still amazing because a bad switchfoot song is still like one of the best songs ever

[EllieGertrude96]

one of my all-time favorites...and so much truth! people need to hear the News...i understand people on the fence about religion. Good thing true Christianity isn't a religion, huh?

[cooliorifictasticnes]

does this guy realize that if you make videos with music attached of the whole album, than pretty much anyone can download it and convert it to MP3 to pirate the whole album? doing singles are fine, but idk about this..

still Love the song!! Long-time Switchfoot Fan since Nothing is Sound, only coz i wasnt alive when the other albums were released but i still love em all :)

[CotyRoberts]

@cooliorifictasticnes Yeah, I do realize that. But people are stupid.

[unvme601]

@CotyRoberts your sellin the news

[DanBrnsRed]

@cooliorifictasticnes who uses youtube to pirate? Besides if someone pirates this album they should be ashamed of themselves.

[forsks]

@cooliorifictasticnes i doubt switchfoot is hurting from people pirating their albums

[Teeny436]

Switchfoot is amazing!! :) 

[Boristhealligator]

Singing, amazing music, guitar, now rapping??? Jon is incredible!

[PrettyTiaF]

@Boristhealligator LOL hes not rapping. Its called "spoken-word"...kinda-ish Bob Dylan..ish.

[PrimeMonthMay]

"Selling the News", track 6. News is usually on at 6. Oh, just one of those things.

[crazyweecat]

I almost know all the words to this song in preperation for their edinburgh gig =) I'm so excited! Two weeks tomorrow =)

[BraveJanitor]

They are so unique. Its incredible how they can create such amazing sounds time and time again. <3 God

[TruthisFact]

I'll bet the one dislike is from a press associate.

[Brad2008A]

Hmm....I have no idea why, on about 90% of all youtube videos, there is always a debate or argument going on in the comment section.

[justinionful]

sorry guys im done with this atomic kid, haha too sad..

[Cody111079]

Imagine the videoclip of this song being set in New York around 1930's on some busy street. The singer sells newspapers and the band is behind playing the song. Oh, and it's deliberately shot in bad film quality to make it look historical. I thought of this the first time I heard it and I wish they could do that :P

[JonTheJesusFreak]

1 person took "Fact is fiction" too seriously and thought the dislike button really was the like button.

[Alcarpediem]

This is my favorite song off the album! :) whoop God bless them! 

[justinionful]

Gahhh forreal, he totally read my mind.. this song is just way too good. I think Switchfoot is gonna get their 2nd KCA from Nickelodeon

[justinionful]

Oh my gosh...I love jon foreman for making this song, mainly because ive been thinking this songs message for a long time...New favorite song. jon foreman you are my hero.

[atomicfriendo]

@justinionful is he your mancrush? :)-~

[justinionful]

@atomicfriendo seriously...stop following me haha, get a life. and dont start on switchfoot vids too, i honestly wonder if you have mental issues or something.

[atomicfriendo]

@justinionful seriously...is this some sort of homosexual attraction you have with the band? :)-~

[justinionful]

@atomicfriendo Your in a sad state of mind kid. and if you arent a kid on the outside you more than likely are on the inside, considering all you do all day is sit around and troll on anberlin videos, and intentionally piss people off.

[atomicfriendo]

@justinionful aahhhh....is baby angry? lol...anberlin sucks :)-~

[justinionful]

@atomicfriendo Wow. Good insult. Pretty sure we called people babies to demean them in kidnergarten...You should get smarter, people generally do that as they age, guess your an exception...

[atomicfriendo]

@justinionful kidnergarten?...lol...nuff said :)-

[justinionful]

@atomicfriendo ...and you cant even spell justin... kindergarten, sorry for typos...simple mistake really, dont know how you could turn it into an insult..

[atomicfriendo]

@justinionful well I'm just gald that there are Bieber fans like you to correct the spelling of JB's name so that haters like me are put in their place lol :)-~

[justinionful]

@atomicfriendo It's wierd that you think that im a Justin Bieber fan, because I've only ever agreed with you on that i DONT like him...

[atomicfriendo]

@justinionful nah you like him...faggot :)-~

[johnmurphy901]

This song is awesome, probably my second favorite one off the album, but I like The War Inside better.

[Jmblinn13]

Where do they get their lyrics? only song better on Vice Verses is Dark Horses.

[musicfrk077]

sdfgj v hjutjrdyfgjkghjkgjkgdttuwskuyr­t i5tde rujtgf Oh!!!!!!! Sorry!!! I was wiping my mind off the keyboard. ;)

[LeverBEAST]

This is awesome!

[RKMusicLover]

My dad's a pastor and he based his sermon partly on this song, and read the just about all of the lyrics. He almost NEVER does that, so you know it's good. ;)

[swichfoot333]

I'm amazed!!!

[RileyandCollin]

best switchfoot album yet. so rock and roll.

[Klausantor23]

CHORUS?!?!??!!??! MIND BLOWINGLY AMAZING

[bleedgreen2010]

This song should be the intro to all news-based telecasts. The politicians would like it, right?

[rachelkarate2013]

epic.

[MisterPenguinMusic]

Definitely my favorite song on the album!

[4givensinnerC11313]

Umm best song on the VV cd for sure :) at least for me :) Even thought all SF is AMAZING :) Jon Foreman is a lyrical genius!

[vvsprinter902]

this song is freaking awesome live. hands down one of the best songs they played that night.

[JjLintag]

spoken word.

[theSneakySasquatch]

MATT LAUER CAN SUCK IT!!!

[atlfan2319]

The talk-singing reminds me of older songs Dirty Second Hands and 4:12. But this song is definitely one of my favorites on the album!

[MusicalCoConspirator]

@atlfan2319 Those two songs came to my head too! I love the mix of styles.

[TeeTownVideos]

THE* lol

[TeeTownVideos]

I dont think John was aiming for "rapping" i think he was actually just trying to "talk teh lyrics," if you know what i mean.

[sismmk]

johnny needs a bit work on his rapping, but other than that, sick song. fake news - something we dont often think about

[JoyMac]

@sismmk i dont think he intended to "rap"...

[Songwriter4God]

6 seconds in I liked it. :P

[Natrone011]

This song is freaking awesome. Seriously. I think this is my favorite song on the album. I love hearing that they're stretching themselves and doing something weird again. It's actually kind of like Gone: Pt. 2 when you think about it.

[SpaceAceRP]

@Natrone011 or maybe Adding to the Noise Pt. 2

[SpaceAceRP]

@Natrone011 as in, "....but I'll bet that that TV set tells us what we wanted to hear, but none of these soundbites are coming in clear...."

[Natrone011]

@SpaceAceRP Nah, I'm more thinking about how Jon sings...or whatever...kinda like this when they perform Gone live.

[jononbass18]

@Natrone011 THATS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID! ITS COOL TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE LOVE SWITCHFOOT AS MUCH AS ME! GOD THEY ARE SOO UNDERRATED!!!!!!!!

[MrPenguin91809]

Switchfoot Rapping? xD

[theSneakySasquatch]

@MrPenguin91809 theyre pretty dang good at it too!
