  • why is the video 7 min.

  • @SwitchFootSongsNMore Because the video is brought to you by socialism. Only through socialism can you take 7 minutes to listen to a 4 minute song.

  • It's so wrong to say "God is the most incredible thing ever" and "many people will burn eternally for ever and ever" in the same sentence. FYI.

  • @davenicholson37 no not really, a lot of people ARE going to be damned because they haven't given their hearts to God, using those to phrases in one sentence is completely correct. FYI.

  • 4:07-7:15 is amazing!

  • @GrapesseparG how can you be like that?

  • @natdot2804 is for you to cry

  • @IloveDR100 i totally agree.

  • God I hate these guys, and all of their songs ive heard so far.. except for this one, Idk why but it just fits me perfectly, not lyrically or anything, but just the atmosphere :P

  • @swhamster  thats your problem

  • @swhamster how can you not like switchfoot?

  • @swhamster why?

  • @swhamster why?

  • @crazycookie76 sorry i ddn't mean to post it so many times.

  • this is very beautiful music

  • I still listen to that album xD

  • Haha butterfly......

  • man, I remember this album.

  • i love the way switchfoot connects their music and lyrics. 00:11 that transition is so like switchfoot. i love it. they're so creative with their music

  • the biggest reason i luv switchfoot is that they write the most beautiful music for God.

  • Its funny how you guys arguing and thinking and doubting while not believing that Someone created you purposely to do those to know who you are made for...

  • XD I love how it's impossible for ya'll to just enjoy the music without breaking out into a theological debate. It's just a song, after all. And really, who ever went soul-searching in a Youtube comment section?

  • stop argueing aobut religion and god i'm so sick of this who cares everyone is entitled to belief they can do what they want you know

  • @antlerman1357 why are there rules, then, if you can do what you want?

  • So much blind belief from so many people, logic reigns supreme, prove to me there is a god and I shall believe, but I see no proof of such. People want a comfort, therefore they turn outwards because they do not know how to comfort themselves without aid from elsewhere Maintain your belief if you will, but always remember questions are needed for progress, and nobody can deny the world needs progress at this time. Always speak your questions and seek answers, too many close-minded people exist.

  • o.k. where's the anger coming from friend?

    I love God and I know nothing ...I am nothing

    I pray that your heart will be pierced with Gods love and grace. That's what saved me.

  • Fuck all u ppl who say what God did or didnt do

  • @esptool yeah, a comment with profanity is going to do a WHOLE lot...u mad bro?

  • @esptool why do you put ''God'' with a capital letter, then? 'Cuz you respect him?

  • OKay.. We all have our free will even the angels, God didnt created the devil lucifer He was once an angel, Its his choice that made him what he was now.

    Its just a matter of choices people.

  • This is my only problem with Catholicism and Christianity, If God is supposedly more powerful than the devil, why doesn't God just destroy him? I've heard the whole "Oh, the world will suffer and will be dragged into hell!!!" but that is bullcrap, because if God was all-powerful he could "run" the world and destroy the devil at the same time.

  • @ChemblieandCheese God doesn't destroy the devil for the same reason that an all knowing God (who can see the future) would create the devil in the first place. The devil has a purpose, just like everything else. Why would God destroy the devil? The devil isn't a problem for God at all; the devil can't do anything without God's consent.

  • @Doxologize ... Well if "God so loved the world" and supposedly loves us so much, why would he create the devil in the first place? Nothing about Christianity or the bible makes sense at all.

  • @ChemblieandCheese He crated everything to worship him and also for someone to love. but he loved them so much that he let them have a free will and i guess lucifer took that oportunity. And God doesnt have to make any sense. were all hissss creation. He can do whatever he wants. But no instead he gives us love. Oh and one reason why no one realy understands is bc hes supernatural. we will never REALY understand why. Our minds cant comprehend him.

  • @ChemblieandCheese God created Lucifur, an angel. Lucifer tried to overthrow God, and as punishment was sent to spend eternity in hell. God created Lucifer as an angel, not the devil

  • @Greenhatpro I know that. But he is supposedly all-knowing, so he knew he was going to overthrow him.

  • @ChemblieandCheese God gives everyone a choice, even angels. He knew Lucifer was going to overthrow him, and he didnt succeed. Nothing is powerful enough to overthrow God, and God saw it coming.

  • @Greenhatpro If god saw it coming, then why didn't he stop it, if he's so powerful? If he really loved us then he would have never let evil on earth in the first place.

  • @ChemblieandCheese the reason that God let evil on earth all leads back to free will. In the beginning the bible tells us that God gave all things free will, including the angels. Now lucifer attempted to overthrow God and failed. It was his choice and he chose to do so. After he failed, God sent him to reside on earth until he would be defeated once and for all. And its not that God doesn't love us. In fact he provided a way out with Jesus. So no evil in this world is greater than God. See?

  • @ChemblieandCheese that may be true but you have to be punished for evil things. besides, there wouldn't be ''evil'' if there wasn't satan, right? and God does everything for a perpose(i don't know how to spell that).

  • if god loves everyone then why must he put all of us in this game that we call life? if i loved someone truly i would never want them to see harm or hear of its wickedness. what if you grow up in a place where all your family worships goats? would god take you then? or would worshiping goats be a ticket to hell; but it isn't your fault seeing as you were born into it. how does God decide then?

  • @stevebobpedro1 God didn't put us in this game that we call life; he put us in the garden of eden. We created this world and we continue it, as most of our problems here would be solved if we didn't keep causing them. As for being born into a family of non-christians, it's sad that you're stuck with the negative effects of others' actions, but everyone has an opportunity at salvation, and is thus accountable.

  • @Doxologize yupp!

  • @stevebobpedro1 But God is JUSTICE, and if you NEVER heard about JesusChrist, and you don't know how to be saved, do you think he will judge like a person who heard the gospel 20 times? Not at all, sometimes we forget that Justices is not only "punishment" but "righteous punishment" in order of how much responsable you are to the JesusChrist Cross

  • God doesn't cause anybody's torture. He created us with an equal potential of being "good" or "bad" people, even though that doesn't determine whether we go to hell or not. Going to heaven and Hell is based off of whether we accept Jesus' perfect love for us in the form of his forgiveness for our sins. So next time you say that God is evil, just think about how incredible that he still loves you just as much as he loves the most faithful Christian. This is God's perfect love.

  • 12345 12345 12345....

    5/4, yay! I love you Switchfoot! =D

  • Yayyy finally a pretty song without cussing:) I love u switchfoot:)

  • the beginging makes them sound like a perfect circle.

  • @sitshershey8 yaaaaaaa!!!

  • dude, the song is like 4 mins long. y does it go for 7:13 ?

  • This song... in a way, it describes my life right now

    Everything I do is routine. Everything I no longer do comes back to haunt me and I do it again.

    My life is a bunch of circles. And I need to fix that badly

  • 218spike: A - friggin - MEN. Christianity ISN'T a religion; it's a relationship with God and with our fellow man.

  • im sorry my relationship with God is not a religion. religion kills and murders steals and sets murderers in power. a relationship with the God of the universe doesn't do that. we do not do what God says because we have to we do it because we love him and will do anything for him even to the point of death.

  • amen to that! haha

  • yo guys christianity iznt a religion

    christianity is reality

    if people don't want to accept the truth, that's between them and God

  • heck yeah!

  • y do people think that METIONING God is FORCING religion??? it's not... forcing religion would be MAKING you go to church or read the bible, which has NO point cuz its not like they will stick with it(most of the time)

  • if your bothered by the song it might be because it has a very deep meaning and switchfoot is a christain band....and God might be trying to tell you something....

  • @TwilightDweler He was talking about the butterfly not the song it's self.

    Btw, please don't try to do the whole, God is trying to tell you something thing, there are good ways to promote our religion, but that is not one of them.

  • I disagree with that statement. Telling someone God is trying to tell you something is not bad promotion of Christianity. If God was trying to tell me something and i didn't know, I would love for someone to tell me that

  • @OnyxBlade159 Yes, because you are Christian. Trying to force it on somebody is only going to make them hate our religion.

  • how is saying God might be trying to tell you something forcing religion? It's not at all. TwilightDweler was saying what he thought was the reason why the other guy was bothered by the song. He wasn't forcing his faith on anyone.

  • @OnyxBlade159 He is hinting that the person should be listening to God, and if they aren't a Christian that would be telling them to become a Christian, which is forcing a religion.

  • No, it's saying what he believes is going on and is sharing his thoughts on the issue.

  • @OnyxBlade159 hey, why don't you guys let him say it for himself??

  • hey forrest, i get what you're saying, but if just mentioning God means forcing religion.. then... we might as well just stop trying at all. Telling people what we believe is not forcing anything on anyone. And if it WERE, then I would have to do it anyway. Do you ask for someone's permission before saving their life? Sometimes, you just have to scream and yell and even take action if necessary. Not all the time, no, but remember that Jesus himself was offensive at times, so don't be shy, really

  • it's not just mentioning God that makes me think that.

  • @forrest225 You would think if he was trying to convert him to Christianity, it would be more straightforward. So I don't believe that was the full on intention of the comment.

  • It seemed as though he was implying that the person should listen to God. Maybe forced was too strong of a word.

  • @forrest225 if you think someone is forcing you, then tell them! they probably don't even know.

  • Great song. gave me chills though. But that's why I like it

  • This song! speechless!

  • "am i alive? am i on purpose?" LOVE IT.

  • I LOVE this song! The music is different, but that's so Switchfoot! I <3 them! :)

  • k.m...mahal na mhal kita...

  • Okay, am I the only one who's bothered by the esocialist butterfly?

  • im kinda bothered

  • Nope. I am. lol :)

  • no myonenight, it creeps me out too..... o.0CREEPY

  • why?

  • yeah im not sure about it......

  • why are you bothered by it........?????

  • @myonenight no. no you're not.

  • I think the time signature is 5/4

  • anyone know the time signature for the intro and verse of the song?

  • lol why is this spam =S

  • just rox

  • this is one of my many favorite songs by switchfoot. i can't stop listening to them

  • God is the most incredible thing ever,he gives us free will and we abuse that so much that many people will burn eternally for ever and ever.

  • D: i am sad now. oh well i am saved! :D x]

  • You did'nt have to read my comment if you did'nt want to.

  • @Troyxsnipes Bullshit. Any entity who is willing to torture trillions of potentially kind people is not incredible, but in fact, evil. What is an abuse of free will? Not accepting that for which there is no evidence for? If that's the case, why is an abuse of free will so evil? It seems more logical to me. Is abuse of free will doing cruel and terrible things? I'd say Christians have an equal capacity to do so as any person.

    If you believe "god" is incredible, you are awful.

  • @Raidenkun55 Any entity who grieves over trillions of people potentially torturing themselves is not evil, but in fact, saddened. You ask what an abuse of free will is--taking the ability to torture yourself and others and doing it seems to be a pretty good definition to me. You mention the fact that Christians have an equal capacity to do cruel and terrible things--that is true. They have an incentive not to; this God that Troyxsnipes is raving about.

  • @birchrain The "free will" thing means following God and having a personal relationship with Him is a choice--He doesn't force it. I'm assuming you mean "going to hell" when you say "torturing trillions of potentially kind (ie not-worthy-of-hell) people".

    Hell isn't some kind of time-out box; it's eternal, total separation from God. If your only abuse of free will is not believing in it, then who do you think controls your very personal actions? If not a god, and not you...fate? the matrix?

  • @birchrain i'm sorry but, what is the matrix?

  • @Raidenkun55 why?

  • @Troyxsnipes actually god doesnt give us free will, he has a plan for all of us, and he knows what we're going to do in the future, so we basically have already done it.

  • @Troyxsnipes Yah thats the way to look at it. or the alternative is. Im so happy God gave us free will so we can choose to love him in such a deep and intimate way.

  • @Troyxsnipes hahahaha i find it extremely amusing the way you worded that, but he is amazing and he sets a high standard.

  • @Troyxsnipes hahahaha i find it extremely amusing the way you worded that, but he is amazing and he sets a high standard.

  • i love this song!!

  • im not saying anything bad about anybodies religion and i haue my own doubts about God, but you must believe in God. im not trying to force anyone. but believing... it feels so great! he is always watching even wen its like hes not here. he alwys is everywhere.

  • i love tihs song...(subscribe me) =) ^.^ ^^ =5

  • i really like this song. dont ruin it for me guys!

  • yeah and losers left god's ways for the world.

  • Most of the people in the world won't go to heaven sadly because they have chose to follow tempting sin and its ways for whatever reason and thats just sad.. but please if you read this give some more thought in to God and Jesus, for if you believe there will be a place waiting for you in heaven/ pray more he wants to here you/ read the bible it shall answer your questions, For there will be a day that Jesus will return and all will confess that he is Lord and savior

  • FULLDARKGEAR you sound a bit immature calling people who havent found God yet, Losers

  • i find it amusing that people who don't belong to your religion are also considered losers, the whole "believe in our god or burn forever" is always a kicker

  • I beg to differ, tdeus51, but nowhere did I read FullDarkGear calling anyone a loser. In fact the word is nowhere in his/her post. All to the contrary, in spite of misspellings and whatever, this person wrote a very thoughtful post. Peace. : )

  • Thank you for the very kind support. And to those who thought I was calling the people who don't believe in God and Jesus losers, I didn't mean in that way; its just I was so depressed at a time I thought of suicide... but I remembered my faith and prayed and started to read the bible than the next day the stress,pain, and negative thoughts just vanished I felt great and I wanted to spread the word and help others. Again sorry for the bother and those who took my comment offensively, good day.

  • hehe sorry tdeus51.. your kinda outnumbered. please don't be a downer on others eh? chin up there :)

  • @tdeus51 i didn't read it in there, either...

  • amazingly awesome i am a switchfoot maniac switchfoot rules!!

  • Jonas Brothers are overrated.

  • I agree music is something that takes time and will become great through different influences and eras in music.

    They are going to fast to soon.

  • yeah...year 3000 was their first hit, and it took like 2 months for them to be flippin EVERYWHERE!!

  • I love this song , it's like falling and getting lost inside of it... and great background sounds...

  • i like all their songs i always have!

  • im still the only commenter day 2

  • Yeah, Switchfoot's songs bring a low key spirituality, well their later albums do, and the messages can be well thought out. Sometimes the lyrics aren't the best, but they have improved, I still think the album 'Nothing is Sound' is the best they've made.

    I never heard of 'fivestarstreets', I'll have a look, and thanks for the tip. :)

  • fivestarstreets is a band that you probubly dont hear of oftain i went to one of their conserts they rock

  • @esocialist i agree. nothing is sound is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome!!!
