My Love Goes Free - Jon Foreman

[Dearvada]

On dec 18th the day I can see my love again n I'm starting all new that day, I shall wake up in the morning to this song

[PauliitaP]

I love the description :D And the song ofcourse is amazig too :)

[fleabag234]

John is awesome... ^u^

[superclaydude]

@fleabag234 *Jon, but he is awesome! :)

His solo stuff is great.

[joshmercermusic]

I've been going through a really hard time with a relationship ending and this song totally puts my heart at peace.

[CRABBYequalsHAPPY]

Does anyone know where i can find the piano chords for this??? It's wonderful, and I would thoroughly enjoy playing it.

[personwithskills]

@junkgypsies well put. i'm really glad you posted that.

[xXiBoaXx]

 v bgmjh,hh

[darthray]

I have known this women for almost 7 years and finally we have fallen in love completely. Two Congruent hearts as one.

Like all stories, She is leaving for college out of state this coming january... I love her.. to support her and let her go...

[hunterzach96]

this song is hard for me to understand completely... i've been struggling to figure out exactly what the phrase "my love goes free" means. any ideas on what it means?

[amyallover23]

@hunterzach96 To me, it means that he has to let her go, but if she wants to come back, he will still be there to love her.

[junkgypsies]

this song is beautiful. it's not just about letting someone go, but also about sacrifice. sometimes as much as you love a person, you understand what's best for them. and whether or not you want to, sometimes a person just needs freedom to figure things out. i love this song :)

[AChotdog94]

Wow...Jon foreman is a very successful writer of intensely emotional songs...and I love him

[awesome3271]

I can't hold my tears in.

[scream2Bheard16]

this song is so beautiful. i cried the first time i heard it.

[cmclsrnsee]

this reminds me a little bit of to build a home by cinematic orchestra.

[cmclsrnsee]

@cmclsrnsee but this is better ;)

[underthemangotreee]

Heard this in the movie Bella a few years ago. Beautiful movies always have beautiful sound tracks. And this is a beautiful song.

[Zsuzsi22]

beautiful song

[Pbreezy522]

when he sang, "if you love her let her go", one tear rolled down my cheek.

[crazybbob]

@Pbreezy522 that's the most gangsta shit I have ever heard

[CallMeYoungSocrates]

merp. :c

[5awajamal]

....

[BoughtABride56]

@RisenIntervention

I agree. 

[bryanminghan]

My love life in 3 minutes and 8 seconds.

[true2ashie]

i really love this song :) i was in love with a good friend of mine, and i could see she was trapped in herself and i wanted to set her free..but i knew only she could do that..that my love for her...couldnt set her free...so i let her go (my romantic love)... i think of it as like..making the right, most selfless loving choice :)

[PrimaresVideo]

That´s waht I´m singing rith now. just wanna cry. Love hurts.. I really love her....... be free.

[xx6F2Lxx]

I can't let her go :'( it's too hard.

[xx6F2Lxx]

if you love her, how the he'll can you let her go? -\3

[leahcoldplay]

@xx6F2Lxx he loves her enough to let her go.

[nrl318]

@xx6F2Lxx he knows she isn't happy. in the song it says she's singing/has beautifully composed a song that only caged birds know. she feels trapped, he's letting her go so she can fly and be happy.

[BRAAADL3Y]

when i heard this song i farted

[KendraLeigh22]

This song is so amazing.

I think I pretty much killed the repeat button.

[bonicawonica]

ryan, i miss you so much. i know it's time to move on, but part of me can't let go. i know you'd want me to be happy... but i want to be happy with you. i'm sorry about letting our relationship slide so far. you have to understand, i was confused then. i didn't know what i wanted. but now i do. you have to believe me ryan. please. i know you love this song... please see this. i'd do anything to have you back in my life. i'm not the same without you. i'm sorry.

[rwarren321]

@bonicawonica ...I hope he said yes.

[veexxxronica]

where can I purchase the album????!!!!!! D=

[magicquail]

@veexxxronica anywhere... itunes? Jon foreman, fall

[VideoKiwi2008]

@veexxxronica you can buy this on ebay or any auction site.

[bogicagi]

if you love her tell it her and let her not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

[darkbutnotemo]

i did what you told me, and now im crying. i just listened.

[ellacantcountx3]

i miss you, jack. please come home to me. <3

[darbug01]

I sent this to my big brother. Him and his girlfriend are having problems, and the part "If you love her, let her go" reminded me of them.

[flamerx8]

This song is beautiful, but i disagree with the message....if you love someone, you shouldn't let them go..you should fight for them, make it work

[zionchild83]

@flamerx8 what if they died??? and you can't let them go and you live your life in a state of depression

[Crewfire12]

@flamerx8 i dont think that that is the message of the song. I think its about if you love someone, and you let them go, theyll come back. Because if someone loves you just as you love them, they will always reply your love with coming back where they found love.

[danX2TV]

@flamerx8 love is unconditional. Love doesnt mean being in a relationship. Love is wanting the absolute best for someone, no matter what, and knowing that they're happy

[Paint57NoBlue]

@flamerx8 totally agree with you. except kinda not. i think u shoud fight to keep them, but u have to give them freedom, too.

example: (sry if i'm being annoying, just throwing my thoughts out there.) but what if a married couple both realized their calling was in two different places. that's why love is persistant. sometimes u have to say goodbye, knowing that you'll make it, anyway. does that make sense? jeez, i'm rambling again. whatever.

[scars73]

@Paint57NoBlue marriage changes things, definately. if you are married, you should fight to keep it going and communicate and try to work out the problems. Just my opinion.

[Paint57NoBlue]

@scars73 yeah, i think so, too. that's not what i meant. by "saying goodbye" i don't mean final. (sry, i worded it funny. that was my bad.) i don't believe in divorce. i mean people aren't always going to be together, all the time, even if they love each other. which is what hurts the most. i'd say more, but i gotta leave now.

[catalina1807]

he has a good voice ! :)

[GerbendG]

these songs were the songs i was looking for.....song you listen and fall asleep with...wonderful

[MrMarielapl]

bello

[austinlingle12]

i wonder if Andrew Landon got into much trouble for trying to use this song and rename it for his video i miss you polly?

[CordovaLovesGod]

mm :,

[LaumaRulle]

When I'm lisening to this song, I wana start a new life!!! :]

[timmiechen]

favourite. <3

[Whatsinmypocket]

An anon posted me here.

[laurentjdias]

first heard this song in the movie Bella....my favorite movie of all time.

[SUPERplaid4]

its not just a song about love..its about freedom. finally letting a caged bird free..its so hauntingly beautiful.

[bradymcgrady25]

Umm... no. That is the metaphor that is referring to love. So you are sort of correct

[lemonarizonatea]

@SUPERplaid4

Kind of like the freedom of salvation. :)

[dontsmokedontdrink]

I almost cried listening to this song. D:

[thenamesGodswife]

1 year....3 months.....and like he appeared....he was gone in the blink of an eye......

[frangelx3]

:'(

[Ashleyatomicx3]

Me and my boyfriend had been together for 3 months and 8 days today..and..he broke up with me. Me and him are thousands of miles away, and I can't get over how he was coming to see me next summer for the first time..we were so inlove, and it's so terrifying to be without him..

[choeman44]

o_o

[Ashleyatomicx3]

We're back together..it didn't take much o-o

[Paint57NoBlue]

@choeman44 me, too.

[supernaturalducky]

i had thought about making this song my father daughter dance. :)

i think it's growing up, but everyone seems to just think it's about lost love.

[padgksu]

@supernaturalducky I spoke with Jon about a year ago and asked him what this song was about, and he said it's about possession in love, selfishly not wanting to let go whether it's the love a parent has for his child or some other kind of relationship. So you are right but so are the other people. He's so awesome....

[neverequalled]

@supernaturalducky its a beautiful song, and it can mean whatever you want it to mean. i think it would be beautiful for a father daughter dance :)

[rachellee321]

@supernaturalducky I think it's a perfect song for a father daughter dance! Your father loves you, so he's letting you go :)

[true2ashie]

@supernaturalducky it can be about whatever it means 2 u :)

[monstergurl14]

i love this song ♥

[Niibzie]

SAME!

[LAURITA2394]

i never heard him sing any of these songs..each are making me teary..this is nice. and reminds me of a situation happening now :( ... but its ALL in God's hands.

[loveandtheft1]

@LAURITA2394 I agree...everything that happens to us are in God's hands. He takes care of us through the storms....the good and the bad....the highs and the lows...He loves us no matter what.

[Timisso1337]

@LAURITA2394

[scars73]

@LAURITA2394 I hope everything is going well for you. God bless!

[BlissfullRiot]

It is sad, but such a good song. Reminds me of this girl that i waited so long to get with, i finally get the chance but then i decide to tell her i want to change things. What was i thinking.. oh well, she'll be happier.

[ellacantcountx3]

this used to remind me of my ex.

i got him back.

"if you love him, let him go".<3

[Tflash13]

This song reminds me of "Goodnight Punk" from the album Nothing Is Sound.

[defectivefriend]

wait goodnight punk is from nothing is sound?

i have NIS and i love goodnight punk but ive never heard it on there....is it a secret track or something?

[owengorkon1]

it might have been on a special edition or something. but it was never on the original version.

[cardinals2108]

amazing song

[Ellalalax3]

I miss Him So much every second. I 'd do anything to just have him back as mine...

this describes it fairly well.

except.. "If you love him, let him go."

[laweirdadelafrancia]

the video description is perfect.

[xxxthisdaynagexxx]

Easily my favorite song of his.

[maddienodine]

this song makes me cry all the time

[pinkfluffylions]

this song is beautiful :]]]

[ComONeal]

lol.. you can write in english but you can't understand the song? ^^

... strange..isn't it? ^^

[frathomon]

Can somebody tell me what this song is about? Sure, that sounds crazy, but I'm German and I do understand the lyrics, but can't explain myself about what he's singing ... nice song!

[thedevilisbad]

I'm not 100% sure, but I do know that Jon wrote this song for his wife. He then let it be played in a really coll movie called "Bella."

[SlipFlip]

It's a story of love that doesn't work, I think... The line "If you love her, let her go" says it all, I think...

[switchfoot102]

just beautiful.....

[leesarrh]

makes me cry everytime

[biggestOARfan]

wow...

[Ardjanguitar]

wow.!!!

amazing

[snowpatrolluvr]

im learning how to play this on the piano, it's so frustrating though...i know the notes, just not the pattern, can anyone help?

[switchfootluver678]

he wrote this song for his wife :D so sweet lol

[LivexDeeply]

aww i know. it's so beautiful...he must love her so much. aww...

[switchfootluver678]

ya lol nice username by the way :D

[LivexDeeply]

haha thanks!

[scarlethss19]

lol i like your username too =)

[LivexDeeply]

thanks! have you seen the Switchfoot DVD for Nothing is Sound? Jon says "think deeply, dream deeply, live deeply." hehe, that's where i got it from.

[yourmysterymatch]

omg, i'm gunna die.

his voice is so amazinggly beautiful.

"if you love her, let her go" gaaaah

[potatogirl126]

beautiful song. i could listen to it over and over.

[hawakinata]

ahhh.. gorrrgeouusss.

could only dream that sum1 would feel this deep about me one day...

gorgeous nonetheless.

[mermacorn]

Everytime I listen to this song, I think about my relationship, with my ex girlfriend. It was a long distance thing, very long distance, even though this is not what this song is about, I believe it pertains to me in some sort.. I knew it was for the best to let her go, and that's what I had to do, even though I loved her.

This song means a lot to me.

[scarlethss19]

OMG i so relate to what you're saying i had that same! =(

it is so sad to let someone go and specially when you love that person and the only thing keeping you apart is the distance!

that's exactly why i love this song... my ex is now in australia and i live in central america how's that for distance? =(

uuugh i hate life sometimes...

[ethael]

What you and mermacorn said is completely bullshit. If you loved them you would go everywhere and do everything to be with them. That's LOVE, to don't mind to loose everything but her.... do you think that this is mercy? You weren't able to get rid of work, friends, home.. so that you broke up. Oh, how heroic....

[scarlethss19]

oh Lord... haha i guess you just haven't experienced a REAL long distance relationship. So spare me all the blah blah blah.

[Meralzhe]

Love is a modivation and so much more... I think alot of people now a days mix love up with affection ( Though Love is affection, affection is not love.) Ethael, what you suggest is not love but obsession which could also be called Fusion which is making someone else above everyone else which is wrong. Scarlet, I do not know much of the details between the two of you but from right here I can say long distance love is not really love because of its fragility because love never ends. Affection?

[ethael]

I did.

[tylermunger]

for some reason whenever i hear this song i picture him in a small church playing an old piano by himself and singing... kinda weird but yeah lol

[switchfootluver678]

lol that does sound a lot like him :D

[phazoneffect]

this is an amazing song. it really has meaning to me.

[LindsTiffy]

jon foreman is my hero in life.

this song is incredible and i bought on my phone, and listen to it before i go to sleep.. =] i love him.

[LivingLikeShadows]

this song is so amazing

the piano is like GAH

i just love it

his voice is so soothing

xx

[sammyjeffhardyfan]

(thnks to this song..

im going to dump my girl friend.. she doesnt desurve me

il just keep hurting her..

[worldfest]

well that wasnt this song's main point, but do what you want

[arladanielle]

reminds me of a quiet day on the beach at sunset

[jzoom45]

wow. i have to say this song is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard in my life. it is truly amazing....

[oceanlullaby]

this was beautiful. i discovered it in the credits of the movie Bella. :)

[jzoom45]

im looking for a couple of other songs from the movie bella. i know the last song is by rachel yamagata "meeet me by the water" but there is a song during the movie i liked. it is when nina is in the bathtub at jose's parents' house and he breaks down crying to his mother.

[thegorn68]

It seems like there should be a soundtrack out for Bella but I've yet to find one. I'm going to make one dammit!

[saltwaterloveee]

I love your name!

just sayin :]

[yesimcrazy0717]

why is he so wonderful!?

this song made me cry ♥

every song he writes is so meaningful and beautiful.

[thunderman30]

[StrongHeartSoldier]

I REALLY WANT EM TOO If u find them thunderman30 could u tell me two?

[switchfootfreek00]

beautiful

[PetiteFleurWwj]

my loves goes free...

[pgann83]

I didn't know he wrote this for Emily. That's great. I <3 Emily, mostly because she's Sarah (Masen) Dark's sister. :P:P

I hadn't followed Switchfoot for a couple years, then I watched Bella yesterday and heard this, and immediately recognized the voice. Very good stuff. I need to get Foreman's solo EP.

[jberry1216]

luv yuns

[Monkyface7]

[Justabored1]

i know his wife emily's brother, weird how close i am from him, people wise

[worldfest]

so close, but so far

[switchfootxmen]

yah...jon foreman is so awsome

he wrote this for his wife, emily

then he gave this song to the movie bella

[guitarsavvy]

songs that used to make me happy now make me sad...i love and hate this song at the same time

[Oppossumsandlove]

So beautiful.

Gosh, this is so beautiful.

Jon Foreman is amazing.

I love him and the rest of Switchfoot.

Thanks so much for posting.
