Switchfoot - Meant to live (mtv live acoustic)

[weirdvideosdude]

awesome drum set... there lol

[fedthefukup]

So underrated, this band belongs in the 90's, they would have made it more mainstream then.

[123arrrggggg]

Rockawesome band. :D

[2011roubaix]

"maybe we've been living with our eyes half open, maybe we're bent and broken", simply powerful. I love them equally - plugged and unplugged

[04andrewjoseph]

WOW!!!

nyc BASS LINE!

[TheChaosAwaits]

i like this band , but man , they can't pull off an acoustic performance really. they need two acoustic guitars, bongo drums and an acoustic bass

[Liahh0]

MUITO BOA ESSA BANDA =D

[trinilovessf]

5 people were high off of the awesomeness of this song that the missed the like botton

[MrJtulius]

they are so sick

[cellomaniac14]

This version is so weird lol. Good song though.

[1STOCKHOLMSYNDROME1]

Hey guys we are a up and coming Hard Rock band looking for someone to give us constructive criticism to help us become better. PLEASE watch our videos and give us feedback on anything and everything you think we should work on. Thanks!

[jotasampaiio]

[GkepperW]

[EmceeKizzle]

[phopimenta29]

Muito bom, uma das minhas bandas predileta. Esperamos vocês por aqui no Brazil!!!

[SpencerNewton]

hhaa it sounds like a jazz version a bit. its still good though.

[vaduzcrew]

is this before drew joins?

[CRWUSA45]

I actually kinda like the sound :)

[saifmuhammadi]

hmmmmmmmm nice

[NYYbronx28]

Jon Foreman can SING.

[lyonel9223]

i think bass makes it not so good..drums are soso..just him and his guitar would be nice.

[TheStellarBeliever]

@lyonel9223 wow you have no ear for music if you think that the bass "make it not so good" the bass is what gives this song it's sense of style and vibrancy

[Jacobjdawg]

The intro to this version sounds like the intro to Trouble by Coldplay.

[Ninjatimelord]

Awesome song :D anyone know what tab Jon's playing here?

[damneddle]

We were meant to live for so much more. Have we lost ourselves?

[91UnderControl]

[seamonkey360]

[AExpression]

[ukgamercrib]

Amazing song. I actually like the acoustic viersion better than the electric one.

[NourNaas]

This is my favorite performance for this song. They are absolutely amazing!

[lovelyrim]

i really do love this song !! its epic !! :D

[the2000beach]

it's about music not relegion.

[Abrar91]

EXACTLY

[ripstickerGTR]

I love this song and I think this song is awesome

[MidNightSummer1]

who cares, really....as long they make goog music

[Bragong]

where's the awesome drew??

[DiDar08]

Someone told me they are Jewish is this true?

[mikelanjello17]

Umm noo...They're christians

[SlowBrakes]

well their currently topping the christian charts so i doubt it that they are jewish

[Abrar91]

would there be something wrong with that?

Its about the music

[PlainasJay]

I really like what they're trying to do with this acoustic arrangement, it could use some tweaking yeah but overall it's great

[bassmanicmatt13]

this sucks

[Satoriga]

sucks :P

[junebug8601]

intro FTL

[sharkkenan]

that was cool...

[paullon800]

to me i like the original but this one pretty cool but guys dont fight...

[geloid]

this version is alot better than the original one... i like it's musicality and you can really here the beauty of jon's voice...

btw, what year was this taken?

[ieatbabies12]

this was when mtv was a little kool

[SmokinMarine]

@ieatbabies12 . . .. MTV hasn't been cool since.. 1988

[sugarmaplesal]

Jon Foreman could sing the phone book and I'd still listen. Besides, if you think the instruments are unbalanced during this performance...blame the sound man. MTV's paying somebody to do the job. It ain't the bands fault if it's incorrect. I love this song no matter what.

[meggymoo222]

i agree!!! :]

[jojowwe100]

hooray for CHRISTIANS

[MaryBeth321123]

i like this better than the original one

[canadianmaple09]

Way too heavy on the bass and not enough acoustic guitar. Really sounds pretty terrible.

[PlanZer0]

do it better,

then talk.

k?

[anggasaragih1114]

i dont see you getting a record deal and inspiring people

[animelovercoe]

not really i thought it sound good for an acustics

[nobull89]

I agree. Bass is way to loud. ruins it

[GodsentHellraiser]

Plus one. Bass is too loud.

Don't get me wrong, I like the song and the band, but this preformance is unbalanced.

[0615320]

I think tim should be using a accoustic bassguitar. Or lower his volume

[switchfootluver678]

this song sounds cool cuz u can hear tim A LOT and jerome on the keys :)but theres no drew :( but this was made before drew went in the band xD so uh um ya :D

[kramerspadowskiki]

this song is cool i like the studio version sounds like grunge

[i13m]

this is a great acoustic version of the song.

[pogolilly]

lmfao! he croaked!

[dsg2007]

lol yeah

[godofsg117]

hey, can anyone tell me what kinda of taylor jons using? jon is a taylor man when it comes to playing the acc. but ive always liek this one...so if anyone can tell me what model this taylor is plz reply. thanks peace.

[anggasaragih1114]

why dont ya just email them, im sure you can contact them off their website or something

[movieandmusicman]

lol very good but i never understood the somewhere we live inside AHH part (1:06)

[tuzz24]

at 1:06 he croaked? lol

[bookskeeper]

he should just go with the acoustic guitar and his vocals.

[TheKidIan]

Wow the vocals were really on!

[Hiko24]

If I didnt find the acoustic to this song I wouldnt of realised how easy it was to play.

[SeparateWeR1]

"yeah, his hair is always wicked cool...

I bet when he came out of the womb he had flowing blonde gorgeous locks.

that covered at least one of his eyes.

haha... "

haha that made me laugh, but yeah Jon's hair is cool !:p

[mrqc0085]

this is a good song no matter how it sounds or how the guy looks it the truth and thats all that matters

[Hambonicus16]

"I am here to confirm all that but I disagree with one thing, Jon's hair in this video is wicked cool =]"

yeah, his hair is always wicked cool...

I bet when he came out of the womb he had flowing blonde gorgeous locks.

that covered at least one of his eyes.

haha...

[izadelirious]

love switchfoot

love jon^^

is the best^^

but their music for God

is the best!;)

[rjdovel]

Jon Foreman=MY HERO

[austinkessler111]

regular is the way to go, but, you gotta respect them for taking a new approach on the song. props to jon :)

[iloveroxy93]

i like the regular one betta

[2moongod8]

the rock version is better but this one is ok

[bandadrake]

gays

[leadmare10125]

yeah. uh. they are all married except one.

with kids, i believe.

and Christians, at that.

im liking the live vocals that jon has going on here.

his hair, however, i dont know what happened.

[SherwinMaxino]

I am here to confirm all that but I disagree with one thing, Jon's hair in this video is wicked cool =]

[brandon37091]

The "Rock" version is better

[PierreTheLion]

If you've ever tried to play this song on an acoustic..its tough. It's in Drop D, which plays much better on an electric with distortion. I'm a guitarist and I dig this arrangement

[brandon37091]

Just my personal Preference. It is still Good.

[mollyd812]

I love switchfooooot. Tim and Jon are amazingg.

[rafarib]

terrible...

[SherwinMaxino]

I disagree, I actually like their acoustic sets

[rafarib]

it´s ok...but goes on terrible

[SherwinMaxino]

Hehe, well all of their songs start off as acoustic songs. They said that in the Nothing Is Sound DVD, so this was how this tune started. Great meaningful song nonetheless, check out my band covering it in our jam session woo! =]
