@dassaswat Christian music is very inspiring. And Switchfoot IS Christian they just they don't show it much in their music so people who don't believe in Jesus (with you attitude I don't think you do) will also enjoy it, so chill ok?
btw to me, what makes a band good is their intent, lyrics and music can help or hinder that. How ever this song gets pretty high marks in all three categories. GO SWITCH FOOT!
this song make me feel so happy and yes you could say awakened. it really brights up my day and makes me relise how gifted god has made so many of the people he has created like switchfoot for example
If i could i would start running & keep running until i thought that my life meant something to others. I would run through crowds of people, forests, lakes, deserts. I wish i could run & really feel what it felt like for the people of the past to have to wonder the same unfinished questions that i now have to face. I wish i could be reborn & already know what kind of mistakes i would make & know how to avoid them. I wish i could help others know & feel the same way i do. I wish i could live.
I luv the 'I want to know that my heart's still beating. It's beating... it's beating...I'm bleeding' part of the video. It gave me goosebumps. =) Amazing job! (I thought it was an official video too.)
i seriously thought this was the real video, this is probably the best nonofficial music video i have ever seen great job guys i bet this took a while to make and it shows you worked hard on it
amazing job! keep up the good work on the music vids. can anyone tell me what they mean when they say "with the ones and zeros" in verse one?? i don't get that part.
not to many people know this because it is hidden in their music, but swichfoot is a Christian band, which makes them even more awesome than they are already. =)
ying to make our video is awesome!!!! All that i would improve is trying to make the blood look more like blood.:] But over all this is the best video i have ever seen!!!!!really!!!!
wow....for the longest time I thought this was the original video for this song...until today I read some other comments...wow...this is really good! 5/5
That definitely is Switchfoot, granted the guy in the suit is not one of the members of switchfoot. This is a switchfoot song, and the video of the band is also switchfoot, the drums even say Switchfoot.

that was fantabulous! an awesome music vid with a good message! i admire your guys' skill in awakening people to his glory with a supa cool vid like this!
Thats obviously Martin Place and other streets in Sydney. But that beach is that Terrigal, on the Central Coast? or is that a Northern Sydney beach like Colloroy, Dee Why, Curl Curl?
I love the video for the most part. you did a really good job with it, but i thought the whole bleeding heart was a little cheesy. but other than that great job!
Well It is Beautiful . how you Made it Everything .. What i actually like the most in what you'v accomplishd is The bleeding heart and this stuning colour .. Its not a red Hot that would some sord of make you get scared lol :)
anyway .. Its Beautiful and the song is One of my favorites . Still i Préfer ' Dark ' From " terminal " :)
Wow, this is absolutely incredible. I made a music vid of Faust, Midas, and Myself along with a friend (it's here on YouTube) and we were going to make a vid of Awakening, but it would have been NOTHING compared to this...this is incredible. The effects, the plot, the idea of the "subtitles," the scenery, the acting...WOW.
wow, you mean you actually made this yourself? dude that's amazing!! seriously, i always thought it was one of switchfoot's videos! that's how good it is :D
Wow, this version rocks. Even though in the original, I like the whole guitar hero thing. But this one was really creative and it was awesome. Good Job.
As much as I love Switchfoot, this video is so much more true to the song than the original video. The close attention to detail, quality work, and simple yet bold message makes this what it is and that is awesome. I'm sure the guys would be proud. Great job with this!
Personally, I thought this was a much better video than the original like many of you. I was disappointed in the official version - it took a contemplative subject and trivialized it. This had more thought and more originality .
I am agreeing with everyone else about it out shining the original! The original was good, too but I wish it would've been a little more like this one..Like, with a better meaning because the song itself has a powerful impact. But, anyways that's just wisdom speaking! Wonderful video!
