I really love this song. It's my favorite in "The Beautiful Letdown" album. Much like Lifehouse's "Everything", it's a perfect end to a beautiful album (see what I did there?). I really really hope they play this in their concert in Manila! Long live Switchfoot! Mabuhay!
He wrote this song on the night of his birthday. Earlier he was trying to do a trick on his skateboard to impress a girl. He broke his wrist. lol. He also eventually married the girl.
he wrote this when he was turning twenty four at 12 oclock i think so like right on his 24th and he had broken his arm trying to impress his now wife with a skate trick is the story ive heard =)
close but he wrote it right before his 25th bday but ya he did break his arm skateboarding trying to impress a girl not his wife i dont think he's married
really sorry, but these things freak me out sooo much! dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name wll appear on the screen n big letters ths is so scary cuz it actully wrks ths really wrks
jon foreman (lead singer and wrote this song) says this "'24,' for me, is about the 24 hours in the day, and the voices in my head, just trying to come to terms with all the decisions that go on in daily life."
switchfoot best band ever love them im seeing them when they open for dave matthews but i wish it was the other way around dave mattews band opens 4 switchfoot
i was trying to find this song when i saw tht th jonas brothers sang this song i was PISSED OFF they should sing there own crapy songs but dont kill a good 1
Just because you dont like them, is a foolish reason to say the shouldnt be aloud to play this song, by your logic nobody is able to sing music that isn't theirs.
Well you see, it goes like this. Jon broke his arm skateboarding trying to impress a girl, this girl would become his future wife. The day when he broke his wrist was the day before his 25th birthday. He wrote the song that night.
24 OCeans, 24 skies, 24th failures, 24 tries. 24 finds we, 24th place. 24 drive bound at the end of the day life is not what i thought was 24 hours> I keep singing spirit take me up in arms with you. We love you Lauren. we hope your having fun in heaven. January 26th, 1993- June 5th, 2008. We love you babe!
This is for Lauren Michelle Grabham who tragically passed away at the age of 15 years old. She is in heaven playing tag with our king jesus just like she always wanted to.
hey i'm zacefronforev but i changed my name. I still love swithcfoot and this will pretty much always be my all time favortie song in the whole world. it has a powerful meaning! I LOVE SWITCHFOOT!! AHHHHHH!
utubeconcretegirl, my brother was at that concert, and he knows ruth. while switchfoot was singing "awakening" they went up and stood 2-3 feet away from my brother because ruth told them to.
so this is where a thousand years stole there beat from

You don't have to be a surfer or skateboarding teen to love Switchfoot.
I don't know their family histories but they must have had great role model parents and adults in their lives.
Lyrics are well beyond their years. All kids and young adults should listen to Switchfoot.
Question ..If Jon Foreman had a foot fungus ..would it be SwitchAthletesFoot?
