My bro is actually working on a cover of this song himself, but going the opposite direction, with more of a metal influence.

[CamiloGanzfeld]

xcellent mate... come to see my covers

5stars

[d7k33]

good job

[monterrey0love]

good job... and good to know that there are other christians out there who arent afraid to show it lol

[Veronderstel]

Uh... The band is christian but the song isn't.....

[alvee33]

Really love your cover of this. Best I've seen. Jon Foreman has to be one of the best songwriters of the past 10 years or so. Love this song.

[meetmeinCALIFORNIA]

i love this song!! your very talented

god bless you :)

[whataTWISTstudios]

I love your cover. God Bless.

[yucs]

Dude God Bless man dude almost all their song hits home man. dude God annointed them.

[bradmatford]

you need to get a new guitar.... lol

but best cover so far.

[ElectricPlayground12]

you have a wonderful voice, I enjoyed this cover far more then any of the others.

:)

[codyzulinski]

Best on youtube that I've seen. I liked your interlude, I'd just maybe do it a little shorter. Thats only my opinion anyways.

[youchrisd]

awesome job

[unknown88sansnom]

Wonderful.

[AlexAluHa1]

You are wonderfull.

This is one of my fav. songs.

Glad you did not rewin it like alot of others have. lolx.

[phataznboy7070]

hi yeah so im also in love with this song

and ive been looking for ways to play this .. and so far yours has deffinetly taken the cake

but could you tell me what chords you used?

ive been playing with C# A B and E

and stuff like that

but i like how yours sounds

its a very mellow chill out way of playing =]]

please and thank you =]]

[paint1487]

first, thank you so much for the nice comments! I really appreciate them. Let me tell you how I play it. I play it with the guitar tuned a half step down too. basically I put capo 1 and then standard tune it with the capo on. then when I take the capo off, its a half step lower. Then the chords are C#m, A, B, and E. If you need the actual order, let me know and I can figure it out. The interlude is C#m to A, back and fourth. hope this helps! take care!

[DarknightOTC]

Wow...I am a big Switchfoot fan and you do this song justice. I got chills after 30 secs. Great cover. Thanks for making Youtube better!

[paint1487]

Thank you so much! I love Switchfoot!

[aja9182]

this is amazing! this is my favorite switchfoot song too! i love them! i really like the interlude u added! do u think u could tell us the chords or do a turorial? that would be awesome! thanks

god bless

[paint1487]

I think I might do that. i haven't had time to make any videos lately. It's been months since my last one. Hopefully I will get some free time on a weekend and then I can make videos like that. thanks for listening/commenting!

[uncivilizedlove]

this is an amazingg cover :]

-2 Corinthians 4:18

[Holkema19]

hey goodd job (: whats the strumming ?

[blah3288]

Wow, awesome job! I love this, your voice is amazing, keep it up!

God bless. =]

[shoua7]

Great cover. This song speaks to me as well; I fully understand how you feel.

[gabbaslammajamma]

i can tell just by looking at you your christ like.

[rotcman]

I'm gonna steal that little addition if you don't mind dude :D

[paint1487]

feel free, just dont tell ppl you wrote it :)

[digdug1226]

Very Very nice job! Sounds Great!

[tarheelfan54321]

great job dude

[worldfest]

well i've since learned this song, and its played better when you pick the first and second verse strumming the chorus...i'll do a video on it later on. your versions good but its needs more than a strum...good job anyways...like a said before the lighting's a bit off...like the extra lyrics you added...its cool to put some of yourself on to someone else's work...like adding to a stock car

[dotm477]

wow this is such a good cover of the song ^.^ i love it... ur voice fits the song so well and u play the guitar like a master^.^ best cover of this is your life i've heard ^.^ ur great^.^

[paint1487]

thank you so much! :) I wouldn't call myself a guitar master by any means though haha

[dotm477]

ooh don't say that ur extremely good^.^ i luv it^.^

[SSTheOC]

Woah. you are soooo good! x

[serenahsays]

you are so talented my friend.

and When I felt my relationship with God slipping, this song would somehow always find its way back into my life. It's such a good reality check. And it's also ironic, because lately I've been feeling super distant. But I felt like checking our your channel and the other songs you had, and I found this.

Coincidence?

I think not.

[worldfest]

great job... could use some more lighting though...

nice voice :)

[CerealGamer]

Nah, the lighting adds to the effect =)

[xxhopelesslyinlovexx]

Awesome job! I love Switchfoot.

Could you send me the chords you used?

Also, please see my channel. =]

[vibasa911]

you have a wonderful voice! i loved the chorus especially ^^. great job!

[Hatorisan70]

Well, after watching your I Believe video, I did a quick scan of your videos, and this caught my eye. I love Switchfoot, and I like your cover of it. Nice job. ^_^

[freeepeace]

I absolutely love the sound of open chords. Beautiful rendition my friend. I only know a few Switchfoot songs - this is not one of them. It will forever be a paint1487 song to me. :)

[paint1487]

thanks, that means alot!

[j6a9j]

hey paint...i had a quick question.i'm gonna learn acoustic guitar over the summer (yay!)and i have to admit...i know absolutley NOTHING about which guitar to get. any suggestions? and happy easter! :D

[paint1487]

for $200-300 you can get a VERY nice sounding guitar. I spent like 300 for mine and I could have gotten so much better. i was just ignorent to guitars at the time. I say get a fender! best guitar you can get for the money

[j6a9j]

lol...thanks!

[j6a9j]

definitely one of your best performances.i absolutely fell in love with it!it's so beautiful...5 stars! wonderful choice of song, too...it's really inspiring.

[paint1487]

thanks, that really means alot cause this song is really close to me. :)

[Lovely47]

Yes I love this song!!! great job!

[paint1487]

thanks Ash! :D

[issabobissa88]

Awesome job! I LOVE this song!

[PDXvlog]

JP here: I remember seeing Switchfoot live, and this is one of the songs that really stood out for me when they played it. Great performance man, five stars!

[gloshglosh]

That was awsome paint! great song with a great message. And your right. Anyone can become a better person. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance in my books. *****

[paint1487]

thanks bro! glad you liked it!
