He's doing the Jimmie Hindrix thing! Playing guitar with his teeth!
Awesome!
I mean, I'm not a listener to secular music but as a guitar player, I have inspirations to very talented players like Hindrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Carlos Santana, and, of course, the greatest of all, Phil Keaggy! He's the best currently living and with only 9 1/2 fingers cuz of an accident at childhood...
@JuleusJohntheSticks Jon Foreman yells/sings into his guitar to get a reverb/echo kind of sound. It's not his teeth. :D He has done it many times in his concerts :)
When I was going through a really rough time and felt like giving up I heard this song and said to myself: This is not how I want my life to be. I don't want to drown in self pity and let this depression eat me alive just because something really bad happened. This song taught me that the only person who can make you happy is you. If you have a dream – go for it. If you want to change something about yourself - do it. If your life sucks – change it. Take control. This is YOUR life!
@caa1000 no he is yellin into the guitar pick-ups(thats what picks u the sound of the strings) so if u yell into it, it will pick up ur voice. its pretty cool ;)
just the way of speaking but not in my SOUL!!!!im still just a human......a human who believe in 1 GOD.Dont oyu get it i have "hahaha"in my last msg.coz' i just carried away when i read his/her msg.its not bad to hate people specially when they insult GOD.
I didn't see the last message, but I find it amusing that you say it's okay to hate people because they insult God. Isn't Christianity about being able to 'forgive and forget'? I really don't see how you can give yourself the right to hate someone when Jesus tries to teach patience and love.
I'm Christian and I was taught that we should love everyone as God loves us... Even if they insult God or just don't believe in Him. We have to be tolerant.
Awesome song!! I can't wait until Hello Hurricane comes out!
dude that's stupid. haven't you ever heard of "love the sinner hate the sin"? Its not something someone just made up that sounds good. you got "carried away"? ha! idiot.
Also, yes the songs are really awesome, great band...but its not all about the songs, what about the message...its not just about the here and now, what about eternity, where will you spend it? You need Jesus to forgive all your sin, if you plan on entering heaven, don't be deceived. God bless you...
@larry52333@larry52333 Since when has the Gospel been a failure, why because I shared a little about Christ---that's pretty ignorant on your part, there's no greater news than Jesus dying on the cross for us
@kasforChrist Yes, there is greater news than Jesus dying on the cross. Discovering we have the freedom to believe that's true or not, and guess what? I don't and even if I did, I wouldn't be a preacher like all the forcefeeders here.
whether this song is christian or not, which Switchfoot def is, it does matter if you are, Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, the Life...and no one comes to the Father but by me..." Jesus rox!
Just to let everyone know.. weather this is a christain song or not its touching and makes you think so who cares some people think religion others think life in general either way its an amazing song!
they do very well not excluding anyone! im not christian, and i love switchfoots music. doesnt matter what religion you are, or if you are religious at all, its the music that counts!!!
Yeah, he's actually talking into the pickups on his guitar. His voice makes the strings vibrate and the pickups translate the sound. Hope I explained it correctly.
jon doesnt like to lable switchfoot as a "christian band"
because he wants everyone to listen to them. anyone of any religion could take their music and apply it to their lives. switchfoot songs are more like life songs than religious ones.
Damn i hate people like you. You're clearly one of those people who refuse to accept any other explanation or interpretation of something other than it being related to 'GOD'. Wake the fuck up and consider another point of view than you're own and you're christian beliefs. Music, above anything else, is something people are meant to see or read in their own way. As long as it makes them feel good or better, then its what you make it.
Actually Switchfoot like other ppl have plainly pointed out in the comments below is not a Chrisitian Band they are All Individually Christian By faith but not as a band becuase yes it is a Label and they dont want that..bc labeling something chrisitan excludes all that are not Christian also Their Songs can have more then one meaning for every person! AND go onto their site to the Q&A section and u will see that they are not a Chrisitan band :) Just wanted to clarify Freind i mean no harm :)
thank you for saying that, I love switchfoot, but I'm not christian, and songs that are blatantly christian kind of make me unconfortable. I always they were more about life than religion, but as always people can take music how they would like
I'm a Christian and I don't think you should feel akward. If you enjoy it, then I think you should keep listening to it. Don't follow the "labels" they give it.
Oh, and BTW Switchfoot is not a "Christian Band." They are Christian people making music. Like you said before, they don't want to exclude anyone.
i love switchfoot and consider myself one of their biggest fans. also for those of u who say switchfoot is a christian rockband you are sadly incorrect.
sockbag...if you consider yourself one of Switchfoot's biggest fans then you should know that all the members of the band are indeed Christians ! There's nothing sadly incorrect about that !
ughh i deteste these topics of religion poor switchfoot always gets dragged down into this but skeeter i thin Sockbag was only saying that the BAND is NOOOOTT a christian music band rather ofcourse any intelligent switchfoot lover knows that they are all individually all Christian by faith but ....not the band :) thought i'd help clear things up! Peace my amigo !
I understood the technical point that was being made but, there really isn't a point to making it so technical ! If it's because of mainstream people not wanting to hear it called a Christian band then that's their hang up. A band is made up of the members in the band right ? If you want technical...they're easily called a Christian group so pardonnn if band was mentioned instead of group ? Just pointing out how silly it is that by adding "Christian" even needs clarification ? ..Peace bro....
Skeeter Girl i definetly know what you mean and i undertsand your perspective clrealy but i must say i diagree switchfoot Memebers are individualyl christian never would they want to label their band a ' Christian Band" reason beign this is a box that not everyone can enter and its sad to hear such things bc i do not belive it is fair to ppl that are not chrisitan and also i do not belive their is anything " technical" about it its just mear fact :) Have a nice day ;)
um.. Firstly i undertand what u mean :) friend Secondly Jon's name is spelt like this Jon not John :) and Thirdly yes i know that switchfoot is using an large amount of christianity within their music i didnt say they werent i merely said that they are not a christian band bc thats Labeling them a certain of music that not all ppl can listen to if they r not of the same faith so yes they often do speak of god and such but r they christian band no and i never said what this song was about! thanx
yes they indeed are christians, jon's dad is even a pastor at a church in san diago, but they do not consider them selves a christian band they feel by putting that lable on them will hold them back from their potential greatness, they want everyone to hear their music. i'm sure alot of non christian bands are indeed christians but once again they dont want to mix their religion in with their music
Yeah, it takes a bit of practice, and I think you have to turn the volume way up, but it's pretty cool. I watched my friend do it and I thought it was amazing
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son." John 3:16-18
It didn't hit me till the song was almost over, this song means so much. I dont want to be anyone else but who God wants me to be..This song is amazing, God Bless!
@dabs254 LOL so cliched! pity you dont know what God wants, you only know what someone else wants that they told you that God wants, but even that you dont know lol
people you should comment for this christian song and you should add it to your phone and your ipod and stuff I love this if you do to vote this comment
This song always makes me cry because it makes me think back to all of the bad things I have done and I just wish I could start everything all over again =[
It's ok to think about the things you've done, but don't dwell on the past. God knows you, and He loves you. He will take you no matter what you have done. No one gets to start over, but you do get a second chance through God. in fact you get as many chances as it takes for you to find him, and keep him in your heart.
This song is amazing. Im only 13 and i already had my spiritual opifony so to speak, lol. But he's right, you DO have the choice to be who you want to be. As for me, I want to be who God wants me to be, because i know that will be the best me i could ever be... Awsome song, God bless.
I have this as one of my ringtones...I just started a new business and am in my 40's. I am finally living the career dream of my life. This song touched me and I am finally "who I want to be" in Christ and in my work and home life! An amazing feeling!
my summer camp councelers did a skit to this song and it made me rember all the bad things iv done in my life and it made me turn around and change the way i am. It moved me and i couldnt stop crying. I love this song so very much. It changed my life. This is my life nad im now and forever who i wana be . . . .
About the acoustics, any live event/ guest performance will sound a little pitchy vocally due to (1.)poor monitoring or (2.) mixing issues. In addition, most bands use some form of pitch/ intonation correction in the studio for album recordings. That is not used for live events/ television broadcasts.
The studio version is absolutely amazing, and Switchfoot are a great band, but either the acoustics sucked here or he had a sore throat or something because I wasn't impressed.
This is easily one of the best songs ever. I mean it just rocks and makes you think all at the same time! Thats what the entire band is about, that is at least their earlier stuff.
jon foreman(lead singer) screams as loud as he can into his guitar, thus making the stings on the guitar vibrate making his voice come out of the amp... pretty cool if you ask me

I have this as one of my ringtones...I just started a new business and am in my 40's. I am finally living the career dream of my life. This song touched me and I am finally "who I want to be" in Christ and in my work and home life! An amazing feeling!

About the acoustics, any live event/ guest performance will sound a little pitchy vocally due to (1.)poor monitoring or (2.) mixing issues. In addition, most bands use some form of pitch/ intonation correction in the studio for album recordings. That is not used for live events/ television broadcasts.

The studio version is absolutely amazing, and Switchfoot are a great band, but either the acoustics sucked here or he had a sore throat or something because I wasn't impressed.

Acoustics? This was recorded in a studio w/the sound going through a board.

It looked more like a live event to me, it doesn't really matter. It didn't sound as good as Switchfoot normally do, that's all mate.

This is easily one of the best songs ever. I mean it just rocks and makes you think all at the same time! Thats what the entire band is about, that is at least their earlier stuff.

saul77777 3 years ago
jon foreman(lead singer) screams as loud as he can into his guitar, thus making the stings on the guitar vibrate making his voice come out of the amp... pretty cool if you ask me

Screaming into the Humbucker to make his voice go through his amp instead of the Microphone. he does it at the end too
LpCav63 3 years ago
yeah but his voice 'vibes' because of the stings, but yes the humbucker

Great performance, but it just seemed a little lackluster to me. I dunno...I just didn't feel the energy.
