Jon Foreman (new song)Cure for the Pain 4-28-07

[DirtySecondHands]

have i ever mentioned how great this night was? ;) <3

[linkofdoom]

wow..the 10 years part is about how he writes songs to try to get rid of all the pain but its still not gone

[ajsadlier]

your right... he thinks writing to get rid of pain but he know the cure for the pain is jesus

[josemo1]

I like the instrumental part at the end is different from the original song

[switchzed]

wat he's talking about is that he's tried to find peace with worldly things before but in the end the REAL CURE FOR THE PAIN IS JESUS!

[Garbs1985]

I think more likely the 10 years line refers to his failure to feel completely at peace

[dylroo]

oh really...i take it as he feels that switchfoot hasnt gone as good as it should be...but i dunno

[JessicaLievanos]

i love this song! he did such an amazing job on it, i love all of his songs they are completely honest and meaningful

[slammingsammy]

Awesome! Sounds better here than on the actual EP.

[britrock16]

I agree, I like the added cello and second guitar. the ep version is too soft and slow imo.

[Lifehouserocks95]

True. I love the cello with the guitar. The ep does sound kinda emo.

[NoNameLetdown]

I like both versions. I first heard this one, so I guess I liked it initially

The EP has more of a contemplative feel, this is more of an emotional cry

[bobbleheadsusan]

just beautiful! i love the foreman!

[Angelique16]

For guitar tab:

He's playing a half step down (Eb). Verse chords are C, G/C, Am, F (2x), F. Chorus chords are C, G/C, Am, F, C, G/C, G...something along those lines. And the brige is C, G/C, Am, F, twice and F, C, G/C, G. Outro is F, C, G/C, Am, F, C, G/C, G twice, plus C, G/C, F 3 times.

Sorry if that's confusing. I tried. =) But enjoy!

[brianshinsaccount]

[hope997]

Awesome, hope it makes it on Switchfoot's new album, or Jon's solo album.

[TaniaLaGesse]

[stittims]

i know i wanna learn this one so bad guess well just have to wait for the next cd

[AcousticShadow]

awesome song...can anyone see what chords he plays? I having some trouble with the darkness of the video...thanks for the awesome video!!!

[chasingtherisingsun]

So apparently, this song is called Cure For Pain

[britrock16]

oh yeah, i forgot to change that thanks.

[chasingtherisingsun]

no problem =)

[stittims]

no "heaven knows" i think

[xdreamingoutloud]

stittims-- no, it's most definitely called The Cure For Pain. :) He said it himself at Lestats Coffee house & as brianshinsaccount said, in Jon's myspace blog as well.

& Wow, I haven't commented this, even in my old youtube account. haha late thank you Brittany, for recording this! :D bahaha.

[stittims]

wow seriously this song is amazing kinda more like their old stuff

[chasingtherisingsun]

wait is it "we are the riders the fools behind the reigns" or "we eye the writers the fools behind the reigns" or niether? I have a hard time hearing Jon's lyrics, sometimes even on CD songs lol

[sanctus3foot]

I think it's the first one, "we are the riders..." but I'm not too sure, I hope that helps, and sometimes I also have a hard time understanding his lyrics too lol.

[heylookitsallie19]

Dang. Seems like switchfoot is getting sick of music.

I'm not saying that I don't love their music, Goodness I'm one of their biggest fans, But I just feel like they're done with making music. All this "10 years" stuff, and in the switchfootage DVD it feels like they're saying goodbye.

='[ I could be wrong.

Ps- Love the song!

[jmeyer3131]

They're still going strong. They just put out a blog saying that the next tour starts in October and will be the biggest yet. (Bear in mind they're performing quite a bit this summer, too.) They even play in coffee houses after concerts, so I can't see them getting sick of music for a long time.

[sanctus3foot]

Don't worry, I recently heard Jon and Tim in an interview saying they have like 150 songs and they are trying to figure out what to do with them, so I think they're still going strong. =)

[DreamsOfShrinking]

because of the '10 years' line you think they're tired of making music? i don't think you understand the song..

[Mikesfoot]

this song's really good, i wish i could play, let alone write like that

[britrock16]

same here, I think we all do lol. :)

[mrshaight]

beautiful song, I love it, Jon is amazing <3

[chasingtherisingsun]

This is definatly one of my favorites of Jon's acoustic songs. I wonder what it's called..

[sanctus3foot]

wow. all of jon's acoustic songs need to get on an album. they're so amazing. i love this one. thanks for posting!

[lowercasecourt]

Thanks DirtySecondHands!!

[mnms424]

wait...where is this?

[lowercasecourt]

oh my gosh.. was he at a Displace Me event?

[DirtySecondHands]

It was at an IJM (International Justice Mission) dinner sponsored by the GlueNetwork. com in Anaheim, California.

[o0Sobe0o]

I've decided to name it 10 Years.

But that's just me.

[chasingtherisingsun]
