  • @MrAggies2015 its from 90s its from ther first ablum legend of chin will u subcribe to me and watch all my video

  • how old were they>

  • @JoyMac lol ur life must b relly cool

  • right now... this song pretty much describes my life!

  • wow. I mean WOW. they looked so different back then. o.e wow. and their hair...it's...it's....SHORT. ad in...NOT LONG.

  • this will always be my favorite switchfoot song. :) old school fan since '96 right here :)

  • Was this their first music video?

  • @ttdahareclan No, I think that Switchfoot's first music video is Chem 6A.

  • I think that Switchfoot went through a time (Oh Gravity era) that they just rebuilt a bunch of their old songs or at least borrowed a lot from them. Like the trumpets at the end of this song. Listen for them at the end of "Amateur Lovers". And, of course, they took I Dare You To Move, changed one chord, and re-released it on their next album as "Dare You To Move".

  • @FastEddy95 Every band has their own style, and Switchfoot loves to use a variety of instruments. So if they used a trumpet again, no big deal. It sounds great, so what if they've used one before?

    Also, for the re-release of Dare You To Move, they felt they had created something really powerful in that song (and they did) and they wanted to improve it, to do it justice. The Beautiful Letdown version is better!

  • @JohnsonMatt94 Yeah, I know. And that's why it's so cool. If my band ever takes off, I'd love to look back a few years later and find what worked with our first two albums and what didn't, and reuse the things that did.

    And if by the new version of Dare You To Move that's better, if you mean the "Alternate Version", then I wanna shank you with a monkey, because I think that one's a piece of crap and the original's better. XD

    Ooh, since I mentioned my band, Facebook search Song For My Father

  • @FastEddy95 No way am I searching for your band.

    Opinions are easier to swallow than facts, and it's my opinion that you're cracked, and also that I personally like Dare You To Move better than I Dare You To Move. Just saying. I can't see how either is a piece of crap. :/ go say that to Jon Foreman's face :P

  • 2:42 best part.

  • I think Jon looked BEST during the "Beautiful Letdown" era.

  • i like jon with the slightly long hair more..... not too long though. just longer than this

  • they look sooo funny!

  • Low frame rate = nauseating to watch.

  • @ILoveBonbons1 I agree, don't feed trolls, chances are, they'll eat your soul and melt your brain.

  • hahahahahahaha:)) he looks so funny wearing that clock in his head

  • Not sure if anyone noticed, but this could be classified as ska.

  • @KiddJunior67 cuz of the trompets?....I turn everything over....has the guitar skank.

  • @KiddJunior67 No, it couldn't. Having horns doesn't make a song ska.

  • 1999 hell yeah. haha

  • is it just me or does the guy in the grad outfit look just like Daniel Tosh?...

  • Happy is a Yuppie Word indeed.

  • guys, don't reply to bostonbadass. That's what he wants. he just commented to start an arguement; you're just feeding into it.

    You can't win those kinds of arguements, either, no matter what you know inside that is true. So don't try.

  • this video cracks me up! i am a MAJOR switchfoot fan and this is probably one of my favorite songs. ohh man jon time and chad are so little !! the end is classic:)

  • i want switchfoot to play at my graduation party! poo.

  • And by the way, this song has about six different chords in it, eight if you count the G5 and C5 that are only played once in each chorus. If you're playing just one, you're doing it wrong.

  • I'm not even much of a Switchfoot fan, but this is one of the most perfect songs ever written.

  • god is gunna rape me? idiot there is no god and most people who watch this video like the song. i only watched it cuz i gotta learn it

  • @bostonsbadass12 if the song is simple it doesnt mean its bad, some beatles songs are the same 3 chords over and over, so you just insulted some of the greatest songs and bands of all time

  • reminds me of Heart Break High ! Love this, the way they're so young and all :P

  • wow this is a shitty song... but i gotta learn it for a band

  • @bostonsbadass12 shitty song huh.....ummmmm wow. your a justin beiber fan arent you >.>

  • @Dash064 Not at all actually. This song consists of the same power chord played over and over again. Anybody who likes this song is obviously a pussy. Listen to some real music for once, you fucking cunt.

  • @bostonsbadass12 why does it have to be bad if it has the same power cord? And anybody who like this song is a pussy? so 3 out of 177 people arent pussies. your a dumbfuck that thinks you know what good music is. GOD IS GONNA RAPE YOU

  • how much fun is watching this video?!! and whoa, they've all got such short hair!!! great stuff, man.

  • tim looks like a little kid, and chad just looks... aw man. this is so good.

  • little TIMYY

    so cute *_*

  • @raymondgrimm send me a link to it!

  • wow, this must be about 10 years old

  • OMB did u just say who's mysteryguitar man

  • who's mystery guitar man

  • @antlerman1357 Famous Youtube Celebrity. He got this song on his video. But his hard drive crashed and lost the vid. Lucky he had it back by mystery lol. So he posted it in his second channel, jp, and named it, Cross Country Timelapse. :D

  • if mysteryguitarman wasn't on youtube!

  • thier soo young. its funny . lol

  • found this on mysteryguitarman!!!

  • @roflman1231

    Christian bands are the best kind, especially this one. Im one of their Christian fans and so are a bunch of the other people that commented, and if you dont like it you shouldnt even watch it.

  • MysteryGuitarman!!

  • @raymondgrimm When did mysteryguitarman do this.

  • @Gmag300 he did this is a video :p Thumps Up!!

  • @raymondgrimm where was he in the video?

  • @raymondgrimm where was he in the video? or was that from another video he made with this song in it?

  • i herd this song nd i was like wow ok for 2000 band which are shit nd then found out tht they were christian rock which just sucks now i think their christian fans can go to hell lol :P i am the devil

  • @roflman1231 It's not your choice on what religion people choose so just let it slip because you can't control anyone (From a person with no religion but chooses to belive there is something out there)

  • @killermeatface yea i belive the same way but i was just angry at tht moment because i listen to grunge nd stuph nd i dont like christian rock but they just seem to b rock nd just happen to b christian

  • @killermeatface hey its great that at least you believe there is a higher power out there. Thank you for not pushing at christians and other religions.

  • @roflman1231 just so you know this song predates 2000

  • ... I've got the company car.

  • This is such a sad song. I ache when I hear it, but it's SUCH a good articulation of the futilite and emptiness of pursuing money and status. Christ alone is Life. Christ alone is worth it.. Christ is enough. He is sufficient, and he is the fullness of life and joy for all God's people.

  • wow! i hardly recognized them!

    ....i like the longer hair.....

  • wtf is this song sppose to be about?.

  • @Kino483 it's about being to busy and crammed up and that its good t' relax and take it easy

  • @Kino483 It's about that the fact that people are too wrapped up in material things and trying so hard to get to the top and be rich, and not seeing what life is really supposed to be about.

  • Oh man, love this song, and the whole album.... New Way to Be Human is a work of art, I miss their old sound.

  • @PdubthePatriot no crap man. I remember seeing these guys open for Third Day had to been in 1999 and they were awesome. It was in a church to boost and now they are mainstream

  • Ha! He's like a small adult or something!

  • ok i love switchfoot!!!!! this is one of my faves :D but tim and jon look soooo much better with long hair lol

  • Love the song. But I still think hello hurricane is thier best album yet.

  • jon looks like a lil awkward folk singer :D

    hahahaha. they're all sooooo youngggg.

  • is this where the whole "lowercase" deal came from?

  • @mattyg2391 Yep, I think it's come to represent more than when it was written for this song though.

  • Saved me from Nirvana... but didn't kill their influence...

  • yeah, i was 13 then, i am 24 now. crazy. they kinda became mainstream after learning to breathe. but i still have love for switchfoot. but really New Way To Be Human was the best

  • i got a CD of theirs when I was in 8th grade from a neighbor for my conformation. I figured it would suck and i wasnt really excited. Then I listened to it, and listened to it again. i was kinda blown away. That summer i listened to that thing a lot, it has a special spot in my musical timeline. I thought it funny that a handful of years later they become hugly popular, i figured nobody would ever know who they are. awesome. I liked the 3 piece back in the early Ode to Chin NWTBH days tho

  • I luv the trumpet in the backround. Switchfoot rocks.

  • @LuvsFunnyStuff31 yeah the trumpet was a great addition and tis is the only song i can think of of theirs tha tuses it

  • Comment removed

  • I just found this song last night and I'm addicted already! Hope they play this at their Toronto concert tomorrow!

  • XD

    I love how the guy does a face plant into the water!

  • This song has such a good ring to it's sound! And a good message!

    Typical Switchfoot. :D

  • Great song. OMG they are all so young!!!

  • ahaha this is still one of my fave switchfoot songs.

  • @AldousTrisanu100:

    first off-not the palce.

    secondy-thats just wrong

    thirdly-ur a perv for even doing things like that

  • 5*s for nostalgia and Switchfoot's AWESOMENESS!

  • they look so different here O.o

  • omg is that daniel Tosh with the graduation bit?!

  • maizz .komntarios moncs!!!!!!!

  • there one of my favorite bands ever

  • All of Switchfoot's songs that are more deep and thought provoking have spiritual messages, which was what was meant to be conveyed since they're all Christians.

  • About Switchfoot trying to make a political statement, I don't think they ever have. Jon himself said once that "we've never meant any of these songs to be political"

  • chad looks very different

  • lol Tim's face at 1:25....gotta love that guy

  • wow i didnt know this song had a video...

    new way to be human was one of my favorite albums

  • yeah they just released it on The Best Yet

  • No the video's been out since the album, it just wasn't well known

  • gosh, jon's old hair style kinda makes him look like benjamin mckenzie from The O.C! lol

  • i miss the switchfoot from the old days. I get it, you want to make a political statement, etc... but they kindof lost some of themselves when they became more mainstream. just my opinion tho, i still love them.

  • cool, he used to play a telecaster.

  • yup.. also a strat in chem 6a

  • switchfoot is awsome.......really awsome

  • Wow, Jon has short hair in this video.

  • i haven't heard this song in soooo long...

  • cool song but the beat i just dont think it all fits it doesnt go together but i like it sort of

  • K.M...MAHAL KITAH!!!

  • LOL gotta love Jon's Beard seriously awesome SWITCHFOOT ROCKS 7 DAYS TILL I SEE THEM LIVE!

  • Lucky! i haven't seen Switchfoot in 2 years!! i miss them live!

  • ah the good old days

  • haha.... they have changed physically a little bit, but Jon's voice has, is and will be always the same! :)

  • oh my gosh! Jon's hair is SO much better now! Anybody know what year this is? I miss Jerome & Drew!

  • this is 1999

  • oh man...switchfoot is simply the best ever! Gotta love his hair though..lol..

  • The ending is priceless! switchfoot rules! lol

  • just so you know twiotterluv, butler only has one "t". dude i totally forgot how much i love switchfoot. you really get caught up with all the other bands out there, don't you? and of course, then there's the rest of life....

  • Oh whoops :S typo my bad! but thanx for telling me anyway :)

  • Oh my gosh, I heard this song at my church's contemporary service, and I fell in love.

  • oh i forgot how much i loved this song hehe

  • idk i love this. I love all of their music.

  • look at his face at 1:50 lalz

  • the other dude is his brother and the drummer is the same guy from now, right?

    wow they look really different.

  • yep Jon and Tim Foreman are brothers so the lead singer and the bass guitarist and the drummer is Chad Buttler :) hope that helps

  • omg, they're all so young! <3

  • I like switchfoot for ever!

  • Man, I miss the old switchfoot. Everything after Learning to breath just doesn't do it for me. Now they sound like their just trying to write hits.

  • I really like all the songs on Beautiful Letdown...all catchy and somewhat mainstream but still with a Christian message. But after that they haven't been quite the same. But then I didn't really listen to Switchfoot before that CD. I think 2 or 3 of those songs were playing on regular radio the year it was released.

  • I agree with u guys, their sound really changed after a beautiful letdown, which is my favourite album, nothing is sound and oh gravity! both have a very different sound

  • i can't believe this has been around for almost 10 years, makes me feel old

  • Jon looks awesome in this.They all do.

  • THis is so old

    but it is still amazing

  • אני אוהבת את switchfoot הם מדהימים!!!!!!

  • lmao lmaom lmao jon looks adorkable =] <3 i think i love him [i knwo thats insane but i do] and this song is awesome

  • wow they look so different! lol. i love switchfoot. can't wait to get the greatest hits cd even if i already have the songs.

  • tim is so cute in this video!!!!

  • They all looked funny in the 90's.

  • lol their old vids r all weird but kinda funny...

    idk...

    ok now im confusing myself or something!

    but the end is funny :)

    xDDD

  • you're tight,lol.

    when i saw this for the first time i was like;"WTF?!"

  • mike was right when he said i put up a fight to be someone, a fight to be me but see now im down under hte pavement of capital hilss and lowercase people...

    this song is old, but i dont care its awesome!!

  • haha that's awesome! I just found out there was a video for this and came on here to see if I could find it. Company Car is one of my favorite SF songs. And it's so weird seeing them so young, they look so different. They all look better with longer hair.

  • Mike was right... oh I luv this song

  • woooow

    hair

    hair hair

    wow

    different

    course I knew it would be like this I just forgot

  • So Jon and Tim r bros and the drummer is Chad? Love this song, thanks 4 uploading. It's so awesome 2 c how far they've come since then. But these songs r definitely just as good as the new stuff.

  • Just Jon and Tim are brothers. As for Chad he's was Jon's friend in college and then the rest is history.

  • aww they're so little!!!!

    so who cares if they're younger? they can still rock harder than most people!!!

  • How did I not know this existed? Its so great. Wow Tim looks different. Jon and Chad look the same just with shorter hair.

  • O my gosh!! This is the switchfoot i heart! SO a million times better than the new stuff!!

  • this is so beautifully 90's

  • is tim in this music video??

  • yeah, he's the guy with the short, spiky black hair. you can see him do a goofy face at 1:25

  • wow... ive never seen a younger jon foreman... its kinda weird haha i likes long hair better

  • oldschool switchfoot forever.

  • i love it when they sing this live!!!!!!

    we have to hold random peoples hands which freaked me out, but i love this song!!!!!!!!

  • lol they looked like nerds lol but they're still cool!

  • tim looks hot!!!!!!!!!!!

  • they look so dif. now! still good tho.

  • nice "oldie" song..

  • they were brilliant even then... jon's lyrics are totally different..but still great.. =)
