'Southbound Train' & 'The Cure For Pain' - Jon Foreman (Live Acoustic) Fall EP

[itaintmebabe714]

Great performance! Jons passion is awesome even with all the camara flashes going off. That is very hard to do as a musician.

[philstaley94]

I can't say how perfect the train at the end is. Almost as if it were queued. Also, Jon Foreman is awesome for carrying a hammer with him at all times. He'll need it later, alright... during the zombie apocalypse.

[Natrone011]

Man, the video looks awful, but you got some of the best quality audio I've ever heard from one of the aftershows. Also...hammertime? XD

[brder4ev]

So blessed to be able to express himself with beautiful songs, Thanks

[TheSparkleb]

i LOVEEEE his voice its the same EVERYTIME!! suck on THAT AUTOTUNE!! >:)

[ligiization]

he's brilliant. so much sensibility! love him

[jihr19]

You didn't cleaned the guitar after that??? Right??? You are so blessed!

[tonjesml]

i love me some jon foreman.

[1991flowerchild]

this made me cry...

[1991flowerchild]

this made me cry....

[Disciple1818]

Hes using a martin in this video haha not a taylor like he always uses!

[TackyNames]

@Disciple1818 He's using Corey Vidal's guitar (ApprenticeA, the uploader of the video).

[Disciple1818]

@TackyNames haha ya, figured it wasnt his

[CAiT9321]

damnnnnn that train at the end was perfect lol

[andyakaandrea]

Omg Corey, what were those flashing things? My eyes are really sensitive, I'm not even joking.

[samandrew2]

so cool how he does stuff like this

[nagzul]

"that sound a lot like a golf clap lol

[saksjn]

the guitar strings suck! lol they won't stay in tune... great video though... that such a cool thing!

[belladonnarm]

The cure for pain es una de las mejores canciones que he oído, fue un ex el que me la enseñó y siempre le recordaré por ello a pesar del daño que me hizo, esta canción merece un gran hueco en mi corazón, es simplemente genial.

y a ti... no te digo nada porque no mereces la pena, F

[itsme823]

jon is the most talented musician ever

[magicquail]

That was great. :) Thanks for posting that.

[socks4070]

Jon Foreman is such a talent

[yurgrceisenough]

How did you get such fabulous audio quality? I mean, I know it was just you, him, and a handful of people out in the cold, but it's so clear. It's wonderful. :)

[magicquail]

@yurgrceisenough indeed! The sound is great. And that's really what matters :) Glad it's not the other way around with video.

[TackyNames]

No way, I just noticed, you're the guy who did the Star Wars tribute!

[aragorn767]

half a step high

[PlankiiOnBass]

Is it raining and do I hear thunder? Or is it just the wind? It fits to the title of the album ;)

[SeetherRules100]

You know if i could wright a song like that i would be so proud of myself. I write songs but most of them are silly or about boys. When i hear a song like this i just admire the person who wrote it.

[DTdall88]

you probably should spell 'first' correctly before you start writing songs.

[peterhasadog]

You did your homework didn't you.

[SeetherRules100]

I want to know too did he just happen to be there and decide to play or WHAT? he is awesome

[mikeb7791]

thats sooo freekun awesome how did this happen exactly. was he just there and decided to play a couple songs?

[GDSTHEMAN123]

Beatiful......

[tinlizzy61993]

He has changed my philosophies on life and death.He is a true artist. I can not wait for Alive.

[ixxraidenxxi]

say HELLLOO HURRICANE!

[parakaters]

what i wouldnt do to have lunch with that man. just to pick his brain for a while..

[sorenkierkegaard2008]

The sound of the wind blowing adds quite an ambient kind of accompaniment to this.

[watermelonshoesrock]

was this at emu?

[edguitar]

im fom vancouver and i just love jon foreman, you're so lucky he played your guitar

[XGigaman009erX]

Ya he rox, Suposibly theres a new Switchfoot albulm comin out in June, i cant wait

[sanghiara]

I'm always amazed listening to him singing live.. he's voice is exactly the same as on the CDs.. so perfect that it doesn't need to be changed/transformed. Unlike many other artists...

[Swimxbabe]

corey i watch this every few months. great video. jon's voice gives me chills. or maybe it's also just a little cold in this library.

[ThisIsMyMuffin]

wa!

your voice is... so sweet...

[CShayRay13]

This is sweet. How did this happen? Did you just bump into him on the street in the middle of the night or something? haha

[ApprenticeA]

It was after a concert. :)

[snowpowder2008]

and u just happened to have a guitar. lol

[djliska]

It's moments like this that we need to look back to in our everyday lives to help us become better people.

[ashleybrooke1415]

he is absolutely amazing!

his voice is so unique and his songs have meaning!

[sanghiara]

Oh I so envy you ruffrider4191, I wish so much I could be there... or at any of his or Switchfoot's concerts... It's my greatest dream since I met their music, but I live in Europe and I would have to obtain a visa to go to the their concert... They planned once a tour to Europe, but they had to cancel it... I listen to this music in hope that one of these American trains will finally bring me to this beautiful moment...

[ruffrider4191]

Hey sanghiara,

I was just in Europe this summer. Ruffrider4191 is my best friend and we honestly wouldnt trade this moment for practically anything. So I know how you feel. Funny story, we actually, took listening to Jon over having a ride home. Our ride ended up leaving early and we decided to stay with no way home. We found one eventually, thanks to some fellow switchfoot listeners.

Anyways, while I was in Europe, it seemed no one knew who switchfoot was! What Country do you live in?

[sanghiara]

Hello ruffrider4191,

I come from Poland, but I have moved to the United Kingdom (England) one year ago. Moreover, I was in the UK two years ago for the summer holidays, and that was when my dream was about to come true.

Switchfoot was about to come to London, and I was so incredibly happy, I couldn't sleep at night! Unfortunately, something really bad happended to one of the band members (somebody died) and they just couldn't do it.

I think in the near future I won't have to obtain a visa so

[sanghiara]

thumbs up!

[HorseFreak4Life]

he had that same sweatshirt on when i saw him in concert last year!

[switchfootgirl]

dude you like Switchfoot!! oh my word, I love you even more now! Im a huge fan! :D

[musicchick09]

SOO good!

[xomrsxforemanox]

haha.."okay..i dont need this hammer." gotta love jon foreman!

[XBlurzX]

dude where did u meet him?

[Swimxbabe]

easy to meet them after their shows if you just stick around ;)

[SergioMomarsh]

My brother is helping the world rebuild Iraq and he really digs The Cure For Pain. He sent me the MP3 today. Really good stuff. I've heard it before. I bet this guy would dig on Michael Erker's stuff.

[ruffrider4191]

I was there.

[therealthomasbutler]

what a legend. saw him twice at parachute, the cure for pain at mainstage on sunday morning, and then again in the white elephant on sunday night. what an awesome moment in the white elephant, a building designed for no more than 100 people crammed with 400 people inside and another 500 out... was lucky enough to get inside :)

[Swimxbabe]

i heard about that and saw photos! so cool

[cameragirl7]

he is a literal legend. saw him play The Cure For Pain live at Parachute 08

[freshraj]

This gets 5 stars not for the quality of the video, but the quality of the man!

[Youaremyjoy347]

man this is awesome.. thats really cool

[babydestiny24]

I Would .. TOTALLY freak out if Jon Foreman used MY GUITAR to play HALF a song ..... ur frikkin lucky he played 2 ... I'm jealous

<3 D

[jeuper34]

where was this and when? how did this happen? Hes so willing to kick it without asking anything in return.

[ImBored25852]

I WAS THERE!

[josemo1]

I tried to buy the songs from a Latin America country and I could't get the downloads, they should check that, because we want good music too!! =)

[ducktapesandwhich]

i love jon foreman's down tempo solo stuff. it speaks to me.

[emerillium]

do you just like wait after the concert and randomly ask... dude could you play a couple songs for us? haha im going to one of his concerts and im hoping there would be a hidden after show.

[yeeyuh1619]

ha.

stalk them outside when they're done.

[AGirlAndHerBass]

Rofl I feel bad when I do that but it's so fun :(

[paint1487]

i guess he always does after shows for people. I have seen lots of after show videos on youtube.

[lolliegirl66]

haha

i dont need this hammer

urve got a hammer in ur pocket?

lol

that was so funny

[dellhelp]

tabs for the cure for the pain plzzz

[peaceloveoverpass]

E flat tuning, chords are Fmaj7, C, C/B, Am repeat. Chorus ends by going a bit quicker and use Fbar to finish it off. Follow the song or the vid, you'll pick it up quick. Hope it helps.

[GavinMichaelBooth]

Funny! I had seen this video before :) I've worked with Jon in the past!

[StrongBad120]

man how do u play southbound train??? where is the tab or an instructional video!?!?! that is a great song (southbound train)!!

[HenryJonas2]

yeah it is a sin, but god forgave you a long time ago

[shannon31791]

umm how do u get these little private shows!?!?

[ortobis]

awesooome

[brownben]

i love the sound of the train at the end

[hallelujahsing]

oh wow. jon foreman is so amazing. why couldn't i have been there? i can't wait for "spring" to come out!!!

[crystalflame09]

Where can you get his indi EPs? I get e-mail alerts that they're coming out, but where can I buy them?

[xpaaja]

You can try bandfarm....

[thekent]

mardel... best buy. just look around.

[Primoboy34]

i think the fact that Jon came out and played for you guys just goes to show what an amazing down to earth guy he is. Not some stuck up rocker who needs his body guards around him all the time

[StrongBad120]

man i am jealous right now, it amazing that people actually got totalk to Jon foreman, congrats guys. btw does any one no where to get the tab for Southbound Train, or any of the fall ep songs

[nfrazier20]

[thehaphler]

Awseome songs. Jon Foreman is great. Thanks AprenticeA for the kick awesome video.

[guitar2heroes]

The Cure for Pain is amazing.

[milithium]

today was the first day i heard this new solo project of foreman and im having a crush with the cure for pain...and definitely this is one of the best videos ive seen on youtube. it really shows how awesome jon is with his fans, it had to be a really special moment to remember for all your entire life.

thanks again man, you rock!

eternally thanked,

Pablo

[xomrsxforemanox]

a hammer is something that you put on the end of your guitar to make it sound different. haha not a real hammer. right? i think thats what it is lol

[ApprenticeA]

Actually no. While we were standing around, a fan actually gave Jon a metal hammer, and said he could use it in the future to help work on houses. He thought it was funny and kept it with him the rest of the night. :D

[xomrsxforemanox]

oh are you serious. haha sorry. i thought a hammer was something else. but a real hammer hahaha. oh gosh jon. =]

[NoNameLetdown]

I think youre thinking of a capo

[Helpmerhondayeah]
