    Good job!

    that's a whole other way to use the song to the best :)

    This might be an idea for me for later.

    Anyways, thanks very much and God bless you!

  • are u guys going to make another one?!

  • this song brings up so much emotions, regrets from the past, every dumb choice, but more importantly hope for the future what's done is done and I just need to let go of the bondage of the past to fly to the future.

  • cool man

    meaningful, and powerful, based on the endless love of God Almighty!

  • great video man 5/5 stars

  • Excellent music video...very professional. I really like the fade you used going from shot to shot. Storyline went well with the lyrics. MJ

  • wow. great job with the vid!! REALLY well done!!! and seriously you guys, its a song, its a video...why do you feel the need to argue here? so what if you smoked pot and who cares? you all just need to chill out.

  • Good movie/video.

  • Go switchfoot!!!!!woot woot!!!!God is good!!

  • somking weed doesnt give me pleasure i did b/c i was bored andi do rely on other things besides god to give me pleasure, every1in the world does otherwise they wuld be perfect and no1 can but god himself.

  • Nit2x09z..is everything about you?

  • ive smoked pot more then a couple times and that hasnt effected my beilefs or my ideas about god or jesus.

  • You say it hasn't? Well, how about this. You are relying on something other than GOD to give you pleasure and an escape from your problems. God calls us to abandon earthly things and follow him. It's kinda hard to follow someone when you have to stop to smoke.

  • I disagree. One can not live in this amazing world that God created for us and not enjoy it. Jesus drank wine, but wine did not dictate who he was. It is when you cross that line when "worldly things" become a problem

  • wow good sum up couldn't put in better words!

    This is an awsom vid, love it good drama

  • Yeah, but pot is different. Jesus didn't get drunk. He didn't smoke anything. Pot makes ppl high. Would Jesus smoke pot? No

  • I agree and all but the is just one thing. The bible tells us that our body is our temple and that we should not damage it. If you drink and smoke a lot you are sertainly damaging your body. It's not just if worldly things are getting to important in your life, it's weather you're physically hurting your self.

  • i cant beleive that, you can't live in sin and still follow god with real faith and commitment to him. i kno wut its like, i had a similar problem

  • Yeah... but if u & Jesus get to that point of a great relationship then you wouldnt need pot to make u feel better. Not judgin, just sayin. :) God bless

  • same here

  • I can so relate to this video. It's both powerful & moving all at the same time. I spent almost a whole year in a bottle. That is, until I was set free by the Living God.

    Awesome video.

  • so in conclusion.

    there is no argument; people in GENERAL throw out accusations of "potheads" and whatnot.

    there are christians who have smoked pot. just like anyone else. christians alone are not the accusers. and there are people who smoke pot that accuse OTHERS of being "potheads". so there is no line to draw. there is one group of people. not a single of them to point the finger at. because we are all the same. no matter what our belief. we just have to realize it.

  • Just a suggestion. If ever feel alone in anyway under any circumstances run to him not form him. Your dialogue is not but is not great. Want answers, read the Bible.

  • my friend megan did drugs and everything then she found god and is now straight edge, i have already been straight edge

  • I am a christian AND ive smoked pot more than once. and it is not a matter of POT VS. CHRISTIANITY if you have already clearly established ones importance over the other. in order to have a good argument.. you have to be open minded. POT is a drug. CHRISTIANITY is having faith;believing that Jesus is our savior. and i do not push my belief on anyone. i just love sharing it. ie:i want my boyfriend to have the kind of relationship with jesus that i have bc it feels good. he who has also smoked pot

  • what the heck are yall talkin about how can you not believe in god

  • Uh... because he doesnt show us his existance so we dont want to waste our lives by praising something that isnt there.

  • By the way if you want to talk about religion there are plently of forums dedicated to flaming religions so if you have much spare time and hate please google a website and show your hate there.

  • excellent video! 5/5

  • gud video... inspired me alot...

  • Prophecy says that "cannabis is the herb that will cure the world". I don't know about prophecies, but I can say this. Marijuana gives us a chance to kick back and enjoy the finer things in life, the company of good friends, an appreciation of a good movie, the delightful taste of a good meal, the passion of a good woman, the awe of a star-lit sky, and the inspiration to keep moving forward, knowing no matter what, LIFE IS GOOD and my little corner of the world.. has been cured =]

  • thats because that shit makes your life like a movie, and you don't appreciate anything because thats someone else living for you, you cant cure your life if there is no problem fag.

  • bro i like your philosophy cuz honestly freedom of speech is a wonderful right we received but i hate when jesus freaks try to shove there religion down everyones throat i understand they believe there doin gods work in spreadin a message but not everyone wants to listen to it everyone goes through there own dilemmas and i feel that every person has believed or attempted to believe in a higher power but if thats not for them y should they be persecuted for how they live and wat they smoke and do

  • how have pot-smokers and any other people ever been persecuted by "Jesus Freaks"? You're absolutely right that nobody can force you to believe, but that's not the same thing as being "persecuted" for not believing.

  • The Song had a direct correlation to the video! 2thumbs up. Though Why would that guy sell himself to drugs? The World Didn't end

  • Those drugs that the doctors give help people get better. Without them people would die, so how can you say that the doctors are selling death?

    God never meant you to use things in nature to harm yourself. Pot used as a drug is harmful. It becomes an addiction and you need it to feel good but it does not make your life any better. It changes how you act and I can say this because I've seen what it does. Telling yourself it's ok is denial and if you know God then why do you need drugs?

  • i never said i needed drugs

    i havent smoked pot in like 6 months so far i do it when i want to if i dont want to do it i wont do it you cant get addicted to pot if you do you have a problem pot is not harmful in any way it never killed anybody the drugs the doctors sell you killed millions of people man made drugs are a hell of alot deadly then nature made drugs

    who would you trust more man or god(nature)?

  • There are many Christians that worship god and still do drugs. Pot and alcohol are one in the same. God won't magically save you from the world.

  • hey pot is not a drug

    and if you never tryed it you cant say anything

    god made pot if he didnt want us to use it

    it wouldnt be here

    man made drugs are the bad ones they are more deadly then nature made drugs

    if anything those are the drugs god wouldnt want you to take the drug store sells them the doctors are selling you death and they know it but they dont care cause there makin money

  • God made apples, but he didn't mean for you to stick em up your ass. Pot's a drug, so is alcohol and yes I can say it even if I haven't tried it. Look up the definition of drugs. Doctors are making medicine so that you can live longer, you probably had a lot of shots already to prevent stuff like polio, tetanus, measles and all that other crap. You ignorant hippocrite, if you want to go pro-marijuana, be smart about it.

  • wow

    thats all i have to say

    oh yeah i hope you know christianity is fake

    jesus is fake well not really you can see him any time you look to the sky in the day time cause hes the sun you need to do some research on your religion cause if you want to be pro christianity be smart about it

    pot is not a drug religion is just another way to control people cause you dont need to follow a religion to believe in god

    and the ten comandments is the law of god so what is all this other bullshit they say

  • Definition of drug - A chemical substance, such as a narcotic or hallucinogen, that affects the central nervous system, causing changes in behavior and often addiction.

    Pot changes your behavior. It is a drug. Religion is not a way to control people. It's faith and you should respect that.

    Also, your grammar is horrible, I could barely read what you said.

    And btw, prove to me that Christianity is fake.

  • So what is all this other bullshit they say Burgio92?

  • are you serious?

    if you cant find that out yourself

    then you may never know

  • this is a great video, it all came together nicely and even though there is drug usage in this film it just is used to show the point of wat the song is truly about. it is showing "this is your life, do u really want this to happen to u? is it everything u thought it would be?" so by showing the drugs it really impacted the story in a good way but using it in that form i think this video was fantastic. they just used the drugs as a form of, like u can't be happy with them only God makes u happy.

  • great movie

  • this was amazing

    i almost cried,

    it was really powerful

    good job :)

  • yea so i cried

    that was awesome

    God Bless=)

  • pretty powerful movie

  • well i honestly think this was a great lil movie....i mean you must have spent alot of time on this and i think its something i wouldnt mind showing my children cause they will see this stuff sooner or later and they need to know that god will allways be with them ....ty ....and i do hope to see more to come someday ...ty and god bless..:)

  • nice movie

  • i actually think that this is a good video but then i do agree wit andreasandwitch. but overall its good.

    God bless yall!

  • switchfoot is contemporary, but they are NOT a christian band.

    i'm christian, so i'm not saying there's anything wrong with christian bands.

    but anyways, look it up;

    Switchfoot is NOT a Christian band.

  • excelente. Los felicito

  • I just felt like the message could have been made without showing the physical drug use

    There are alot of people trying to get away from those tempting images people who once was lost in that world and I believe showing this makes those kind of people remember and maybe even relapse I just think the message could have been made differently but that is my personal opinion :) God bless you guys!

  • they didnt even show drug use? they showed him buying but they didnt really show anything else..and i completely understand your argument and i see the point, by showing the use of drugs in messages it kind of brings a more real thing people can connect with..

  • whoo hoo God bless you for worshiping him

  • Wow that was great best self made music video i've ever seen great story redemption FTW.

  • I did not enjoy the drug parts I dont believe that this is a good message to be sending out however I did enjoy the song and I think if you put the song with some other video without drugs would be a great choice

  • Did you not get the message though.

  • loved the door opening part, good stuff.

  • I normally don't watch video's unless they were made by the artist themselves. However, this one really got me....great job. That is a true picture of what life is like when you're imprisoned by addictions. Thanks for such a moving video, & making a difference. God is smiling down on you. :)

  • Muy muy muy bien. Mucho color. Muy fantastica.

  • Great Video!

  • i liked it

  • Definate props. i liked all the camera angles and such. and the songs rocks.:)

  • i love the part at 3:19. great job

  • Asian crack daddy. Rofl!

  • sorry i got back to your message this late,

    dude your production was awesome... great editing... and there were a lot of good shots, caught one or two camera mistakes but... no movie in this world is perfect =P... as for the song... great choice... and your narrative is touching =) great job mate ! God Bless You

  • Fantastico.

  • this is absolutely amazing. :) i can't imagine how long it took you to film and edit this! great job, it brought tears to my eyes.

    i'm adding this to my favorites..!

  • I loved the mini movie!

  • omg...

    that was so wonderful!!

    im so serious!

    i love the message it send.

    the song meshes so well w/ the video.

    its my favorite by them.

    im seriously crying right now.

    it was so sad.

    u guyz did an awesome job!!

    ^_~

  • it make so much sense for me. really good!! and it's kinda touching!

  • at the end .. it made me cry.... nice video though... really goes with the song ! Great Job !

  • soo sad

  • good work, keep it up as many are needed in media etc to influence a lost, confused and frightened world!!

    there is hope~~

    love to all,

    the keltic man**

  • great message keep puting videos on and maybe they could make a difference

  • love the song and great job...i like it

  • brilliant! great message, great timing too. would work well as an evangelism thing.

  • Hey this is pretty awsome, I love this song i even have one of their albums. Good vid dude!

  • great thing =)

    i love this soong =)

  • nice =)

  • It's good. Keep producing videos to help people move towards and choose God, Jesus, Truth and Life.

  • I dont care what any of u guys say, I LOVED it so what if u think that is was bad. I loved it not just cuz it was realy well done and i love the song, but also cuz the guy in it totally reminds me of my friend who is strugling with things like this. I LOVED IT.

  • This song always makes me cry. :'(:'(

  • The guy in this vid so reminds me of one of my friends. :( i hope he finds the truth soon. :(

  • Awesome video.

    makes me think about what I'm doing with my life, and if it's in God's plan for me.

    Great Job!

  • (>^^)> awesome video!

  • i really like it. the timing is perfect, the video goes well with the song, and the message is really good. nice work:)

  • a great song on any level.... switchfoot's best! the vid is great too!!

  • This video made me cry for young people who don't know that Jesus can change their lives. That if they surrender to Him and ask Him to come into their lives, His Holy Spirit will come in and give them a high much better than any drug. Lets pray for them. Father God, You made little babies recognize and smile up at their parents. In the same way Heavenly Father, activate that spiritual intelligence in every young person to recognize You, and see Your beautiful face smiling down on them. Amen.

  • Very awesome video man. Definitely the truth!! Switchfoot is awesome!! God bless you brother.

  • nice job! this is one of my favorite switchfoot songs, and i especially love the ending with the memories leading into the opening of the church doors. keep it up!

    God bless (:

  • i like a bit more action in the video. because the song is an awsome song. it has to be with more power in it i think.. (sorry for grammar)

  • I love how it's shot. An I love the song.

  • Switchfoot is a great band with pretty powerful lyrics and an amazing message. but the video, i thought, was a bit dull. i actually fast-forwarded through most of it. I agree with ashluvkitten about adding more than just drugs. Maybe next time instead of having a story you could maybe make a slideshow with pictures of other things (ie: poverty, starvation, wars, etc.) and another song. I suggest word of God Speak or Who am I. Either way, it was a great video, keep spreading God's love!

  • i love switchfoot

  • luv this song!!! God rules!!! =DDDDDD

  • Im an atheist but I still like switchfoot lol :P

  • You were right this is a good video.

    but you should have added a lil more stuff then just drugs they were used a loy but besides that great job!

  • I love this song, Switchfoot is amazing!

  • this is nice man :) great work for His GLory

  • Weak acting. Drugs and alchohol are overused themes to represent something "bad", therefore they did nothing to move me. Lastly the outfit and look of thelip syncing choirboy with the dumb look on his face made me burst out laughing. Try to mesh thing better next time. And create something new.

  • get a life

  • Thanks, cause Jesus defineatley promotes that kind of talk ChristianRockStar16

  • To be fair, there also a lot of drugs and alcoholism in the real world, so it's not surprising that a lot of videos would try to counter-attack this reality.

  • But chances are this isn't going outside a Christian community. It's too laugable to make a difference. This has to gain my attention, entertain me but bring me to the Lord at the same time. And it does nothing bring me to the Lord in an exceedingly corny and terribly shot way. That's the point.

  • this is a GREAT video

  • and the singing with the song was sort of corny...otherwise it was great!

  • The fading between scenes was sort of distracting...but not a bad video for homemade

  • oh my I love it the acting isn't terrible don't listen to them. I love it.

  • Hey thanks for your honest input.  We appreciate it. Can't please em all :)

  • dont mind him he's stupid

  • ty again

    ♥Avalon

    may i use this on myspace page? this is wonderful! for adult audiances only!

    again thanks.

  • go for it :)

  • I like the viedo. When I listen to this song, this is almost excatly what I image. I thought it was really good! Thanks for showing this to me, I also love the song so much!

  • nice vid thx for the email

  • Hey, what program did you use to edit the video? Was it Ulead?

  • Great video and song luv switchfoot!!!

  • Good rendition. Now Pat, fast forward 20 years like us and we ask ourselves the same questions.

  • This was powerful!!!

  • I love Switchfoot,

    not into the whole christian stuff though...

  • Erm ... u asked me 2 leave a comment so i am. its ok im not really into that sort of music but the vid is quite good.

  • oh wow, reaallyyy good.

  • oh yeah I watched this yesterday i thought it was pretty good.

  • nice video. I love the song alot so it's pretty obvious why I rly like it. The video itself without sound is good too. I would've liked it more though if you don't fog everything away. And also so fast, rather be able to look at it for a while so it's clear. And I'm not saying that it's not clear, but certain parts I had to think about or rewind them. But actually, this vid is way better then others so I think you've done a great job.

  • good job

  • Good video. It all made sense at the end when we learned what had happened with the car crash.

  • We had a real GOD day here today.... ty for letting me refresh my mind again with this wonderful film. Nice God i say again, Kids.!

    Avalon Approved. blessings to all on this channel
