I find the order of songs in an album can change the story or how you look at the song, and this is great for the last track on the album. Go Switchfoot.
All the members of Switchfoot are Christian (and live it out) and In terms of writing they put alot of thier journey, believe and faith in thier music to make music that touches all audiences its not just put towards the "Christian label" which they feel put them in a box on who they can reach with thier music, " The sick need a doctor not the healthy"
Even if they are a Christian band or not, Music itself is an art and should reflect you as a person or group. That is something that's lost in most of our music today (at least the music they put on where I live.) and that's why rap and hip hop was so good in the 70s-80s because they told stories or they rapped about loved ones and such. Now I'm not saying you should love rap, you should love what you love, but it doesn't really matter what type of band they are, only the music they put out.
@mbrowshan News to me, been listening to them well over 15 years now, and they at least started out as a Christian band, or do you not know their roots? I think it's more you are talking from ignorance and hoping it's not true. Yeah, they were a band before they had a mainstream following and they still have definite spiritual meanings behind their lyrics even if they aren't as overt as they used to be.
@Moorendini2 Yes their songs have spiritual meanings......with metaphorical connotations.....not a specific religious agenda.....When one thinks that their particular religious views are the right and only way...that their tribe is correct and everyone else will burn in some type of horrific hell.....well...lets just say that is sick and delusional...sick as why on earth would anyone wish such a horrific fate upon other humans and delusional as there is no magic God man floating up in the sky
@mbrowshan I agree that on this album that the band has avoided any overtly Christian themes, though this has not always been the case. I apologize that the actions of humans acting as humans has caused you such hatred of Christianity. Obviously you have great respect for all people yourself and aren't dismissive and hateful toward those you disagree with yourself as your words so clearly illuminate.
one of their greatest songs.there just so many but that doesnt matter i guess because they just make good music everytime and will look forward for some more and i believe when its all said and done they can say to themselves "we did it"..to me this band is already one of the best if not the best band this planet has ever known.
@mikejay024 i do too brotha, i do too. can not get enough of them, i will never get enough of this one true most unbelieveable and amazing band. SIMPLY the best
I love how they made the last verse the same as the second verse in Afterlife :)

The intro to this song is what I'd imagine the soundtrack of the rapture to be. Almost heart-breakingly sweet...

Just because it's law

born for the sunrise,
we'll survive the pain.
Never let another tell your soul what to fear!"

We've been running up against the crowd,
I don't care what they're telling me,
we could be what we want to be;
we've been down but we've never been out.
Just because you're running
doesn't mean that you're scared;
born for the blue skies,
we'll survive the rain.

"I still believe we could live forever,
you and I we begin forever now
where the weak are finally strong,
where the righteous right the wrongs.
Age don't matter, like race don't matter,
like place don't matter like what's inside;
I'm ready now, I'm ready now.
Ain't no killer like pride, no killer like I,
no killer like what's inside;
I'll let it burn the way the sunlight burns my skin.
