People to settle these arguments, they dont consider themselves to be christian rock but they are labeled by that by sum, does it matter what their label is? NO!

this is music people...music about life...period....end of story.....like switchfoot or don't like them.....i don't care.......give these songs your own meanings......youtube isn't a website for debates.......
One of my favorite songs. I lost count of how many people I showed this song - and this band. I'm not a christian person - even thought I was raised in a christian church - and to be honest I'm not even sure if I believe in God but, what I like about Switchoot is that they don't make music to christian people. They do music to everybody. The lyrics are about love and trouble and all the kind of situations, feelings or thoughts that all type of person has
I write original songs and I literally JUST posted my first original on YouTube! I am so exited and I would LOVE if you guys could check it out and let me know what you think ♥ ♥ ♥
ah you know what would be nice, if everyone could listen to good music and take their own message from it without talking whatsoever about religion because everyone has a different opinion, yeah that would be great wouldnt it
silly people come to listen to a good song and end up talking about religion on here when they should be out talking about it to people who haven't heard the word of god and help change them not some stuck up pricks on youtube
Switchfoot tries to spread good words and morals, the purpose of their song is not for trolls to rant about it on the internet. So stop giving this video bad rap, cause you feel like being a douche.
@MyExTreMeRoMaNcE nothing wrong with christians as a whole but yes some people who claim the title of "christian" arent and have no idea what they are talking about. give some of us a chance :)
@000JessicaLynn000 That's a perfectly reasonable response. I know some kind, intelligent,humble Christians and those are people I like. HOWEVER very few "Christians" act like you
@MrAbdi111 Um nope. Most Christians are batshit crazy. I wont respect them. Who the fuck are they to decide whether being gay is ok or not. This is a good song but christians can lick my nuts
@MyExTreMeRoMaNcE Most people call themselves Christians but do not exercise their faith. So you cannot say these people you think are Christian, really are Christian. I think you should respect Christians, because Christianity is what started our country (USA). One nation...under God. God bless
@MyExTreMeRoMaNcE Thats true, they cant say whether its right or wrong. But if someone else believes its wrong then let them believe that. Your saying what they believe is wrong so that means your a hypocrite because your mad that theyre saying being gay is wrong.... Just get over it and quit starting fight on youtube comments
@MyExTreMeRoMaNcE Why not? If someone believes that is their thing. By the way the bible makes it clear that it is wrong however that does not mean that Homosexuals are horrible people, everyone makes mistakes, its just that any kind of sex that isn't for the pure reason of mating, within a marriage, is wrong according to christian teaching.
@loganjkind17 Lol I don't feel like having an argument. My point is that I dont want to see some faggy paragraph about Christianityin the top comments
i freaking love this band!! sound amazing, spreads the word of God. i want nothing but to one day do what they do. even if its not being famous just playing music for God somewhere in some way
Here is a fantastic music video that the Christian world will love! It's called "Don't forget about the walk." It was written and created by a small town pastor that is also making a feature film and has written four books. You don't want to miss it! You can go to his website by going to alanmakimusicDOTcom or search for Alan Maki on youtube. It would only take a second to look and I promise you wouldn't be let down. Look him up! He has wonderful devotionals and an app too!
Apparently Switchfoot is "my Christian band". Ive looked at other christian bands and this is the one that really makes me feel 'Home". It's hard tring to live in the world when inside you know it won't satisfy and you teach yourself to hate Christianity and, in turn, hate yourself. Odd turn of events. I just cant go back! I still love Layne Staley, Elliot Smith. Lou Reed, Neil Young and all my past friends and have groaned through trials with their wailings.They never had an answer. just ???s
At 0:36 when Jon climbs on the banister, I was totally there! Assuming that was creationfest 2010, lol. At any rate I remember that and it was totally awesome
Rock music is UNholy music which the Holy Spirit cannot be a part of. Regardless of how sincere a person is, rock & religious rock, opens the door to UNholy, demonic spirits and leads to demonic oppression and even possession. God says that He will not receive those who engage in spiritual adultery and fornication with the world- those who have "touched" the unclean. These "Christians" think they are on the road to Heaven, but they are really on the road to Hell!
@serenityluvsgod you sir, can go and fuck yourself. to come on to a music video and preach your bullshit about god and hell and jesus and some godamn fucking angels is really not appreciated. go and talk about how god is gay somewhere else please.
@serenityluvsgod you clearly have no clue what you are talking about. I'm in a "Christian" rock band and am strong in my faith and clearly not possessed lol
@estodden72 Why are you so bent on defending your rock god idol? Aren't you even interested in researching the true facts about rock music? Satan is actually laughing at you, because you're actually worshipping him & don't even know it! You think that you are pleasing God, but you are really an offense to Him! I pity you. If you were a true Christian, you would be more concerned w/what pleases God, instead of gratifying your flesh, & defending something based on your own feelings about it.
I will just call you insanityluvssatan from now on! You are not helping God and not helping anyone! If you are not for God, then you are against Him....and everything you have posted here proves you are a divider....and only serve to carry out the will of Satan and deter people from God! Don't pity me, for I wish no pity from those who are misled, or mislead!
@serenityluvsgod What about the young girl your words drove to commit suicide?....yes, that's right, I know your real identity! She had come so far, from such a bad place, but finally found something good...especially in her favorite new band, Switchfoot, and new faith in God. Then while her faith and stability was still a bit weak....you came along and confused and tormented her to her end! How is that pleasing to God?
@serenityluvsgod Do you even listen to all the words in this songs?? Or do you just listen to the loudness and put it down because it's "New and hip"??
@serenityluvsgod Another thing dude, what about the song Jesus Freak by DC Talk, its about how Christians shouldn't care to be labeled Jesus Freaks and stand for their faith. Same for Shut Me Out by kutless.
@serenityluvsgod - ...yes, surely listening to Switchfoot/rock/pop/indie music is THE greatest 'sin' ever!? Get your facts right, honey! But YES, certain music DOES indeed influence one in a bad way, but hello...Switchfoot??? It's about the message Switchfoot promotes - it's GOOD.....an the sound aint too 'bad' aka oppressive either....My ears are fine!:)
When this song first came out, I hated it, pretentiously dismissing it as "emo" because of the lyrics. Fast forward to 2 years later, I listened to Vice Verses, loved it, decided to go back in their discography, and ended up rediscovering this song as a result. Wow, I was such an idiot.
when people click the dislike button on a song it is because they missed the meaning of the words in the lyrics, and it does not matter whether the song or band is Christian or not,
No matter how good a band is, christain or not, there will always be people who dislike them and have some excuse to click the "dislike" button on a youtube video, even when it is simply impossiable to hate the song IF YOU CLICKED ON IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. So, I do believe that almost all of the people that clicked the "dislike" button on here only did it because they know deep down they are missing something and they know Switchfoot has it.
@glooer@Stumoo@IFantasticMrFoxI That's the impression I always get from videos like this: "Look how cool we are! We play music on a stage! We perform before thousands of adoring fans! We've totally got life made!" Which is all fine, yes, good for them, but it's completely at odds with the very poignant message of the song, which is that every last person's made a mess of their life and can't fix it on their own. I just feel like the ostentation of the video undermines the message in the song.
I Love the fact that they have a message in every song. And people who have never read the Bible don't know how to discern or read between the lines, What it's really being said. But even though they don't say God's name they believe in him and they are worshiping even when people don't think they are. That's the beauty about being a Christian we worship God in everything we do even when you can't see the meaning behind the action.
@MrsJurado4life Im sorry but your so wrong about this song having anything 2do with religion. Being an ex drug abuser there is no grey area when it comes to what this song is about!
@ThePhilliePhanatic They are like Skillet, both are Christian bands, but not all over their songs have necessarily a direct biblical message, but a message could be perceived.
@lolzpvp exactly. christian rock isnt necesarilly about the christian religion. It's about striving to do your best with life, which just happens to be part of the christian religion.
@ThePhilliePhanatic i agree, but then i disagree on the perspective. it is not necessarily that making the best of life is part of the christian religion, but that Jesus is real, and so your entire life was created for Him and to be in a relationship with Him; therefore, everything that happens is about Jesus. so i disagree on the presumed part that Jesus is just a part of life--because He is really all of life. All consuming, omnipresent, light of the world. Mark 12:30
@HydroTweaker The lead singer is Jon Foreman. The band is Swtichfoot. Seeing them 4 times live I know what he considers him, his band, and his music. I do read up on his blogs too. I saw them one time and he said: "People condisder us Christian rock, but really I write about things I don't understand, like God, Girls, and Politics."
@HydroTweaker Oh, I figured I'd clarify because the way you were talking to me you made it sound like I know nothing about switchfoot, or Jon Foreman.
@ThePhilliePhanatic I implied nothing of the sort. My comment came from something he said in a documentary. It sounded like you implied that they are Christian rock, when they make it very clear they disagree with being labeled that. Please don't include any more useless information the next time you write a comment. If there is something i really want to know, I'll look it up on my own.
@HydroTweaker you cant believe everything you read #sellingthenews, but I did see them live, and have seen and heard the words come straightly from jon foremans mouth. I have also held jon foreman by his ankles as he looked me in the eyes, and screamed "this is the sound!!!" I am a huge fan of switchfoot, and I know what im talking about
@ThePhilliePhanatic I have multiple sources confirming he does NOT consider it Christian rock. If you don't believe me, Google it. And the rest of your comment... I don't understand your point.
@HydroTweaker I TOLD YOU IN CONCERT, HE SAID " PEOPLE CONSIDER US CHRISTIAN ROCK, BUT I WRITE SONGS ABOUT THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND, GOD, GIRLS, AND POLITICS." WE ARE ARGUING FOR THE SAME POINT NOW! READ THE COMMENT
I suddenly have the urge to form a band...and this is coming from someone whose musical abilities are limited to the recorder. I do however play a mean kazoo.
I love Switchfoot very much, but it's always pained me that this song is about the hopelessness of trying to save oneself and the mess the singer's made of his life, while the video is blatantly showing off how successful and awesome he is.
@Lomiel It was about how we all are, we make a mess of ourselves and no drugs (not necessarily real drugs) and other things in our lives to satisfy us. We all want to live like we are really alive.
@Lomiel Actually I always thought it was perfectly suited. The lyrics aren't exactly the most subtle thing in the world, so they're no need for a very conceptual video. Also, musically this song is very energetic, so a live performance video can really add to the music.
I was a fan from the beginning but after seeing them in concert a few days ago I am obsessed! =D I love how they just pour their souls out for their Lord and the result is reviving.
People keep on saying things like "I'm not religious, but this band is awesome" and stuff like that. You know what? I'm not religious. But I am a Christian. Being a true Christian isn't just another religion. I have a relationship with my Savior; the Creator of the World. And He loves me, and helped me rebuild my life, and continues to break me down and show me His ridiculous power and love. I know I'm going to Heaven when I die to be with my Lord forever. :)This is not just some religion.
This is an AWESOME song... While I was driving home one night a few weeks ago, this song came on Air1. As soon as it did, I rolled down my windows and cranked up the volume as far as it would go. *sigh* Good times. *crooked smile* Co ro zi e ta rum ni.
Guitar-driven alternative rock. Be good to see them not stunt their growth, and break away from that Christan rock band bag. Again guitar-driven alternative rock band! GREAT SOUND leave religion where you found it.. move on
No I'm not going to press any number? on? my? keyboard
No I'm not going to thumbs up your comment
No?? I don't care what's wrong with 813 people
No I don't care about you 'raping' a button
No I? was? not sent here by? someone else
Music is there to be listened and appreciated,? unfortunately there are people out? there who? just don't see that. The music industry is? becoming more about marketing and less? about? musical quality
I am a recovering alcoholic and addict and I LOVE THIS SONG!!!...I used to listen to a lot of music that was all about negative shit. Good to be able to find more clean music and lryics that have substance and good meaning. We all have to grow up sometime...otherwise we have to deal with the alternative.,.death or incarceration. God bless you all
This song is about Jon's struggle with prescription drugs. and his addiction to biting his toenails... ok neither of those are true but it was fun'...
I'm not Christian. I actually am Athiest. But that does not mean I hate this band for their religious views. Just hear the words and understand how a persons religion does not make them bad people.
@fuhzer yes its important but not so important that we need to argue constantly about what relihgion is right when we can just enjoy listening to some good music
started listenin to switchfoot again in a while and all of there stuff is awesome! old and new! if yall could please check out some of my music and help me out and help spread God's word it would be highly appreciated! If you dont its ok, God Bless!
@fuhzer im not saying god doesnt exist i am a catholic and i go to church every week but its just that pple need to stop arguing about what religion is right and listen to music which has no boundries
But.. what i dont get is that a band that wants to be appreciated unbiased and solely for thier music then decides to be labelled "christian rockband". I mean 'christian rock' is not a genre, so dont classify yourself as such. Killer song though.
Do you guys know all the hard work they put into this album and song.
I own their photobook and Jon wrote he doesn't want to push religion unto people. But he expects God to do it because God doesnt need to sell his religion.
So just listen to the music and let it dwell in your heart,
Music is one of the only things we have left in the world that we can treat as a universal subject, why drag Religion into something so beautiful when Religion brandishes so much hate?
Listen, enjoy. If you do anything more, your ears are undeserving.
I'm getting really pissed at people. Yeah, this band is Christian. So what? It's like racism, only instead of your skin color, it's your religion. America is turning into a terrible place.
it's like they wrote this song just for me. i love the words. people always running to drugs to make things better instead of admitting to they need to change. They wanna escape reality but there will be no true peace until they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
People to settle these arguments, they dont consider themselves to be christian rock but they are labeled by that by sum, does it matter what their label is? NO! I wouldn't care if they were labeled as "loud as shit" by old ppl So honestly? be quiet about their genre of music and enjoy as they rape your eardrums =D

@glooer @Stumoo @IFantasticMrFoxI That's the impression I always get from videos like this: "Look how cool we are! We play music on a stage! We perform before thousands of adoring fans! We've totally got life made!" Which is all fine, yes, good for them, but it's completely at odds with the very poignant message of the song, which is that every last person's made a mess of their life and can't fix it on their own. I just feel like the ostentation of the video undermines the message in the song.

I Love the fact that they have a message in every song. And people who have never read the Bible don't know how to discern or read between the lines, What it's really being said. But even though they don't say God's name they believe in him and they are worshiping even when people don't think they are. That's the beauty about being a Christian we worship God in everything we do even when you can't see the meaning behind the action.

@MrsJurado4life Im sorry but your so wrong about this song having anything 2do with religion. Being an ex drug abuser there is no grey area when it comes to what this song is about!

@GwarRulzuMaggots with the help of Christ, he was able to "reverse this tragedy

Switchfoot is Christian rock
Not gospel rock.
To understand switchfoot music, you need 2 eyes, 2 ears, 1 brain, and a level head.
The bible has nothing to do with this song

@ThePhilliePhanatic They are like Skillet, both are Christian bands, but not all over their songs have necessarily a direct biblical message, but a message could be perceived.

@lolzpvp exactly. christian rock isnt necesarilly about the christian religion. It's about striving to do your best with life, which just happens to be part of the christian religion.
also like skillet, Switchfoot is excellent live.
ThePhilliePhanatic 1 month ago 17
@ThePhilliePhanatic i agree, but then i disagree on the perspective. it is not necessarily that making the best of life is part of the christian religion, but that Jesus is real, and so your entire life was created for Him and to be in a relationship with Him; therefore, everything that happens is about Jesus. so i disagree on the presumed part that Jesus is just a part of life--because He is really all of life. All consuming, omnipresent, light of the world. Mark 12:30

@ThePhilliePhanatic This isn't christian rock anyway. The lead singer said he would prefer the band isn't considered that.
HydroTweaker 1 week ago in playlist YouTube Mix for Switchfoot
@HydroTweaker The lead singer is Jon Foreman. The band is Swtichfoot. Seeing them 4 times live I know what he considers him, his band, and his music. I do read up on his blogs too. I saw them one time and he said: "People condisder us Christian rock, but really I write about things I don't understand, like God, Girls, and Politics."

@ThePhilliePhanatic "The lead singer is Jon Foreman. The band is Switchfoot." What the fuck dude.

@HydroTweaker Oh, I figured I'd clarify because the way you were talking to me you made it sound like I know nothing about switchfoot, or Jon Foreman.
ThePhilliePhanatic 1 week ago
@ThePhilliePhanatic I implied nothing of the sort. My comment came from something he said in a documentary. It sounded like you implied that they are Christian rock, when they make it very clear they disagree with being labeled that. Please don't include any more useless information the next time you write a comment. If there is something i really want to know, I'll look it up on my own.
HydroTweaker 1 week ago
@HydroTweaker you cant believe everything you read #sellingthenews, but I did see them live, and have seen and heard the words come straightly from jon foremans mouth. I have also held jon foreman by his ankles as he looked me in the eyes, and screamed "this is the sound!!!" I am a huge fan of switchfoot, and I know what im talking about

@ThePhilliePhanatic I have multiple sources confirming he does NOT consider it Christian rock. If you don't believe me, Google it. And the rest of your comment... I don't understand your point.

I love Switchfoot very much, but it's always pained me that this song is about the hopelessness of trying to save oneself and the mess the singer's made of his life, while the video is blatantly showing off how successful and awesome he is.

@Lomiel Actually I always thought it was perfectly suited. The lyrics aren't exactly the most subtle thing in the world, so they're no need for a very conceptual video. Also, musically this song is very energetic, so a live performance video can really add to the music.

People keep on saying things like "I'm not religious, but this band is awesome" and stuff like that. You know what? I'm not religious. But I am a Christian. Being a true Christian isn't just another religion. I have a relationship with my Savior; the Creator of the World. And He loves me, and helped me rebuild my life, and continues to break me down and show me His ridiculous power and love. I know I'm going to Heaven when I die to be with my Lord forever. :)This is not just some religion.

SF never wanted to be labelled 'Christian rock'. That's what people labelled them.
They often say that Christianity, for them, is a faith, not a genre. Just smoothing things out, I don't want a debate :)
