  • If you think Switchfoot is the World's coolest band then you are AWESOME!

  • "I have come to set the earth on fire" Jesus

  • Great song one of the best melodies i've heard in a while

  • Listen to this Brazilian band, very good "Lapset - Dia normal"

  • musica muito linda....

  • The depth and beauty of this song is amazing.

    There has to be more tham empty conversations. Theres gotta be more to life than this. Theres gotta be MORE. I am so hungry for something more and when I am with God that is filled. God, I am on fire when your near me... I'm on fire when you speak...

  • kiefer sutherland brought me here

  • @dfksweetiegirlmoni Wait...did Kiefer plug this song somewhere?

  • This song is soo amazing <3

  • one of the best lyrics i've ever heard. the song helps me to relax.. :) and it has nothing to do with God. It's pure lyrics and the voice and how it makes me feel. :))

  • hmm, I know that Switchfoot is basically a Christian band, but I've never interpreted this song as being about God. But hey, I'm not super religious, so I like my non-religious interpretation.

  • I love this song, even though I'm anything but religious. I love how this song can be interpreted in multiple ways. No one has to be religious to be impacted by this song or Switchfoot.

    Good music is good music.

  • i saw jon foreman last night in times square!! he sang this song and he sounded soo good!

  • It isn't Narnia, you know," sobbed Lucy. "It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?"

    "But you shall meet me, dear one," said Aslan.

    "Are — are you there too, Sir?" said Edmund.

    "I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."

  • love this song, so beautiful

  • This is my favorite song ever.. <3

  • Sounds nice, but something is a little off. The lyrics don't make any sense at all. When that happens, you know something is fishy. Some sort of subliminal messaging or back masked message is there. Just be careful when listening to this and this band...

  • @jslee132 The message is refering to God. "you're on fire when He's near you", "when everything inside me looks like everything I hate You are the hope I have for change You are the only chance I'll take" ...I'm not sure whats so confusing. The guys in Switchfoot are all Christians so yes, many of their songs speak about their faith, maybe thats why they don't make since to you. This song is just about faith. I dont see anything "fishy" about this song or Switchfoot. Thank you.

  • @jslee132 okay..not trying to be mean or anything....but you're retarded.

  • @jslee132 It depends on what spiritual moment of your life you are on. And to what spiritual frequency you are tuned into. For many people, including myself, it hits right on the soul and makes sense right away. Before I decided to make changes in my life and turn myself to God, I did hate songs like these, their lyrics cause it didn't have any impact on me, and that wasn't restricted to music, it included books, poetry and all sort of spiritual inspiration as well. Now it all makes sense for me

  • @jslee132 Haha thats funny. The secret message is God. Dont give in! They'll trick you into being good people! I'm sorry that was mean...

  • some people are asking why switchfoot isnt so popular when lady gaga is with her 'music'. i'll tell you why. because switchfoot sings about God. not about shagging everything you see. they havent sold their souls to devil. so thats why they're not popular...

  • @ErictheSickest95 @kjpargol Music is music. Interpret the lyrics any way you want, but everyone could have different views on it. So just enjoy it's sweetness & stop arguing.

  • @ingrid2doodle I spammed the thumbs up so hard it broke ..well said.

  • :) this is a.wedding song by gods grace.

  • Amazing~

  • Seriously, music sucks today with shit like justin beiber, lady gaga, kate perry, and a bunch of other pop and shit. This kind of stuff is king. bands like U2, switchfoot, and many more are SUPPOSED to be king.

  • To me this song is about God, I long to be on fire for Christ especially when everything inside me looks like everything I hate.

  • You all do know this song is about a girl right XD

  • @ErictheSickist95 switchfoot began as a gospel band; look it up :)

  • @ErictheSickist95 The hell it is! You couldn't be more wrong. Have you ever heard Switchfoot before?

  • @kjpargolf I own most of there records ^^ if your going to say its about religion you can stop now, this song is clearly about a girl

  • @ErictheSickist95 why would it be about a girl? He is talking about on fire for God, this does not even talk about a girl in the lyrics, neither does it even reference something like ti.

  • I think its easier to tell that its about God if you have a relationship with God already. No big though. Listen to it once threw from a christian perspective.

  • I listen to this when i'm sad. Makes me feel alot better. =)

  • GREATEST SONG EVER

  • ponies sent me here. YAY PONIES! also, im not a sissy, or gay, just because i watch my little pony.

  • love these song.. first heard it on the movie the "ultimate gift" starring drew fuller <3

  • @juliennesayo oops wrong grammar for THESE sorry,it should be THIS :P

  • 6 people are On Ice.

  • @atasteofchaosII hahahahaha good one!

  • @atasteofchaosII Make it more like 9 people on crystal. Or joint.

  • Why is Daniel Victor given no props on this link?!?!?

  • six people missed the like button._.

  • When everything inside me looks like everything I hate

    You are the hope I have for change

    You are the only chance I'll take...

  • Give me one more chance to be near you

  • Thanks Jon,

    because I believe that faith can be expressed

    in many languages ..

    One of these is the song .... And you express yourself like no one ever .. Your voice touches deep chords ..

  • I love this song, this is going to be mine and my fiance's wedding song, its perfect! Always Yours is another one of our songs, along with Anberlin's "The Haunting", Bright Eyes "First Dayt of my Life"...haha we had to decide on ONE, so this was it because its exactly how we STILL feel about each other... his voice gives me chills! :)

  • Screw Fireflies and all dat Owl City shiz, On Fire is SO much better in my opinion! I mean, how is Switchfoot not recognized as much????I'm one of Switchfoot's biggest fans, and I will be FOREVER.

  • Simply Beautiful 

  • I love this song so much!

  • amazing song! <3

  • tears in my eyes... Youre on fire when He´s near you.. so true .. God bless :)

  • @Laura0sk

    my girllfriend's name is Laura :X and i love her so much:X and she gave this song to me :* ! You helped alot just with your name ! :D thank you whoever you are ::*

  • athiests cant listen to christian rock?

  • Switchfoot is the best band i have ever heard, How can they have so little Recognition and someone like lady gaga be so populair?

    What has happend to music these days....?

    SWITCHFOOT FOREVER

  • @LeonScottKiller i so agree, switchfoots not my favorite band, but thier a close 2nd.

    its amazing what passes for music these days

  • @LeonScottKiller

    soory to ruin your dreams..but 3 Doors Down is the best there is :X

  • Comment removed

  • @kyller92 Probably in your opinion

  • @LeonScottKiller It's only because the really little kids and teenagers like her. Pop music is taking over this world, and Switchfoot is a great band. People just don't appreciate the real talent of singers and guitar players and drummers anymore. Computers do all the work and auto-tune corrects their voice. Switchfoot has tons of talent, and I appreciate that immensely.

  • @username0151 You got me fully on your side.

  • @LeonScottKiller true story bro hi5

  • @LeonScottKiller they have better lyrics hands down!!!

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah amoo mto mto mto mto ♥

  • this song always make me tear up and cry idk why either i guess its just that beautiful

  • @sabotageurface it makes me feel different as well. not to crying but it just gets to you

  • This is actually my wedding song...the lyrics say it all!

  • I heard this song in The Ultimate Gift.. an absolutely amazing movie, just like this song is and I can only be grateful for that.I don't know why I'm writing this.. but just in case you love beautiful movies.. take a look!

  • This song has a powerfull anointing,it makes the Spirit burn through me.I love you Jesus!!

  • I'm on fire when I'm near you ..

  • G0d i l0ve y0u and l0ve listening t0 this s0ng thnk u f0r all my talent u gave!

  • just broke up with my first girlfriend about a week ago:( i'm still feelin' the pain..of course..but i'll always have Switchfoot to pick me back up

  • This song makes me cry EVERY time. it's so beautiful

  • Find, lol

  • It's so worth it, just to fund a good song. This... Is a good song. Thank you.

  • I'm not even Christian and I love this song. I mean, it's a Christian song, and I can respect that, but it speaks to me even more than that. It gives me a feeling of understanding, that someone cares, whether it be god, the band who wrote it, someone. And it gives me faith, faith in love and hope. I think it's what Jesus meant for Christians to be, to be loving, so that believers and non-believers alike can see them and say "these are great men" You're great men Switchfoot, and I love this song.

  • @SharpguardTheHard Glad you enjoyed the song, and I love your comment.

  • hey try hiilsong like it~~~!

  • this really changed my life... im in depression atm and one time in my life i attempted suicide by getting a bike wrecked (i scarred my face for a year)

    and a hole in my shoulder..i never wanted to commit suicide or face the hell that life gives us,but this song changed me <3 i want to live now =")

  • Amo-te Tamizita :3

  • L O V E this sng.!

  • i love this song so much

  • this is a amazing song.

  • ok so i think this song made me relize that im in love like really in love but the guy barely even knows i exist..

  • goosebumps is all iv got to say

  • they are so talented. such a pretty song , his voice is perfect

  • oh my god..one of the best sadsongs i ever heard^^

  • I'm happy for you, garywilesmusic. It's great to see that atleast some people make it out that circle of death. Well, as for the cannabis, you can eat the plant for the same if not a stronger high. My question is did God invent "eating" or did man did? You can very well run the plants natural oils on your skin and have it be topically absorbed, and if I remember, God has told people to make sacred oils so they can annoint everyone and everything in it. Good luck with a comeback.

  • man garywilesmusic u dnt knw how much that made me happy to hear that to read that to see that honestly God bless you in all ur life and let Him bless u for ever wat youve wrote and wat youve said has touched so many hearts you did it! now we have to move on under life under Gods name honestly your testimony is the best be happy Hes here :'D

  • @r9centeno Thank you... I just saw this... It almost made me cry with joy.

  • I love this song.

  • Your right Cat I do hate it...

  • Your right Cat I do hate it...

  • If Your Christian Really Why Are You Fighting Through "Youtube" Let Them Believe Wat They Want Just Bless Them And Continue With Your Life

  • @yulissa0 If that is really so, that we let each other believe what we want, we ARE believing in what we want to believe, and what we believe as a christian is that other people could be save through God's work. And if you look at it the other way, this is more like encouraging other christians to get out there in this world and try our best. We are not fighting athiests, or non-believers. We are simply trying to stand against all evil things in this world.

  • @yulissa0 even if youre not christian, or religious at all you should

  • @wolfklaw68 I Am Christian But I Dnt Arque With People I Pray For Them & Leave It In God's hands

  • @yulissa0 and thats great for you. you actually have a brain, unlike some people :D

  • @yulissa0 -- Because it's hard not to try to share this joy we have found in Christ Jesus. Heck, it would be wrong not to share this joy, and this is one outlet.

  • @yulissa0 Oh for GOD SAKE stop talking about christianity.. you christians keep ruining great songs with arguing about christian bullshit. STFU!

  • @yulissa0 Many christians think that they have to defend christianity, really, Christ does that in himself.

  • @CozPBR yeah you piece of shit if you ever say another word to garywilesmusic again i will shoved my fist so far up your fish and chips loving ass that you'll be speaking sign language out your mouth

    dont talk to americans like that or ill woop ass like we did your ansister in 1700's you fagit lobsterback

  • @Wizardmaster55 I appreciate the help, but he/she was merely expressing his/her opinion. But anger isn't a good way to debate this subject. I don't want sympathy. I actually feel the same as CozPBR slightly. I think we should appreciate life, I think suicide is stupid and selfish now. I was merely pointing out how it could have turned out. Thank you though, but I would rather not start a youtube argument.

  • I love this song :)

  • Good on you Gary!!! Praying for you mate

  • @halien1988 Thank you. : )

  • Marijuana is a plant from God

  • @matt13heff no its not. cannabis is. weed is man made. therefore not from God

  • @noWandthENnnn weed is just slang for Cannabis..... n how is it man made???? lmao all they do is grow it, pick it, dry it, and smoke it... not man made at all

  • @matt13heff Cannabis is just the plant without any chemicals, you may think it's just "dried up" and smoked, but weed actually goes through a chemical process.

    But the point Im trying to get across is that God did not make weed, he made the plant cannabis, it was mans idea to "dry it and smoke it" (as you mentioned), which falls into the category of man-made (because it's far more than just drying, ha)

    and don't get me started on the drug trade that traffic it, which is not from God.

  • @noWandthENnnn okay, then enlighten me as to what that chemical process is..... "it was mans idea to "dry it and smoke it"" Yeah, but the plant still came from the creation of God. N how do you know God doesn't want it to be smoked?

  • Just like killing someone is allowed by God ^^

  • @Meralzhe did u really just compare weed to something as bad as murder?

  • All sin is equal, a fire starts with a spark you know. Weed is a self destructive way to live, and therefore it is in the same category as "evil" which would put in in the family of murder/thief/adultery. Of course, I could use the BBible to prove this, but this is a youtube post and I haven't ran into too many reasonable people on here. Self destruction is a key symptom in classifying something as evil. Weed=Twisted Desire.

  • @Meralzhe You're a judgmental, arrogant person. Deal with that sin before you come on here, condemning others.

  • Wow dude, you should've read what I wrote before you wrote something, there was absolutely NO judgement mentioned in it, and all it said was that weed is on the same path as murder. It's awkward to say this, but either that was a false accusation, or you said what you are. I know I'm arrogant and such, but there wasn't any indication in the post. If there was, please repeat the sentence back to me.

  • @Meralzhe Well, as Christians, we don't take drugs or get drunk cause getting drunk leads to debauchery (Eph 5:18). Same with drugs.

    Also, all sin leads to hell but certain sins may be more destructive than others. Murdering somebody's wife is more destructive than looking at her with lustful eyes. However, God will forgive both the murderer and the adulterer. All they have to do is believe and repent.

  • Sounds like you defended me, very kind of you! Also, one of the hard things to do is to show sin to people, because the only sin you can really relate to are the ones you've done. This would make it impossible to communicate with someone who has killed someone for many pastors if there wasn't a real sense of murder without the actual death, in a way drug-drunkeness is a way to run away, build up a psychological barrier against reality. Thanks for post!

  • Love the melody, everything,...GBY

  • i am in love with this song

  • i hear songs like this. they are so awesome. i love christian songs

  • I love this song....it's so universal and so beautiful and so true.

  • love the song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i was listening to this song with heart abandoned when my mom told me my father died. :'( this song reminded me of everything i have in God and how i find healing in his fire that burns away everything that hurts.

  • The god that killed you father? That god?

  • We all have pain in your life. What you decide to do with it is your decision.

  • @porfavorgracias Yes That God. There's only one God. He obviously wanted my father with him since he was such a holy man and loves God with all of his being...i dont have a problem with that.

  • @porfavorgracias YOU'Z TROLLIN

  • @porfavorgracias God is capitalised

  • @thatscrazierthanyou

     Not in the real world it's not! Get with the modern age

  • @kirstey92 ??? Huh i meant capitalized like -G-od he wrote god, if you write it without capitalizing it it could be any god, some random one that was made up. So I don't understand your comment if it doesnt pertain to capitalizing a letter.

  • Seconds away from suicide, I listened to this because of the emotion behind it... Now I want to live... Thank you God.

  • @garywilesmusic

    praise God <3

  • Amen sister. : )

  • Pray that you always remember that God loves you so much.. how beautiful, unique & special you are & that he created you out of his own image & perfection.. God bless you always..
