If your NOT Christian and you listen to SF soon you will be one :) Switchfoot knows how to preach it without being judgemental :) I salute you guys!!!
I'm also a former burnout idiot who then saw the light. I have a Christ and kingdom mindset and viewpoint now. and talking about seeing things, we are going to see some amazing things in the future. are you excited?
So the one guy in our singing group just sang this today and he said he had a sore throat, and he did it PERFECTLY! He sounded exactly like the real version! (Even did the falsetto and everything!)
*sigh* Love it. I'm in a Christian singing group and this is the title song of our tour this year :) (It's called the Loser tour because it's all about losing yourself to God...) Anyways, this song is so much fun to play! (Especially because I get to play tambourine! I almost bruised my leg today from getting into this song so much :P)
The following title was taken from a genuine article: Switchfoot – Biography of Christian Rock Band
I think that sums it up that they are a Christian Rock Band! But, anyone can enjoy their music...it isn't just for Christians. Enjoy...because they are awesome!
tch,this whole song can have more than one meaning? can't it?why can't we get along?:D ....yes i'm christian too but i'm just tired of people arguing and afraid that someone will blaspheme Him.btw love this song XD
Good song, good group! Why are people so argumentative on religious topics? With every respect eggroast, your not reaching anyone by contesting every comment. I'm not going to get into the religious debate that seems to be on every video with a semi-religious song. If people want to know what I believe, they can ask, I don't have to proclaim it on a comment line.
Jesus replied, " The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies , it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for all eternal life.......
once a Christian always a Christian. Christianity is a Spiritual contract, not just a simple contract, you have to give your body and your soul to Christ.
And by the way, everything is created by God, even music, people just use it in a wrong way.
@daisychick08 so true, I went to a Switchfoot concert and it was so different from every other concert I've ever been too, everyone's just so friendly, don't know if they're Christians or not, but I realize now, it doesn't even really matter. We were all united together as one. It was pretty cool
I was thinking today about how I'd rather have my heart broken once a day, every day for the rest of my life and know what love is, than to protect myself and hurt others by hiding my love away. It was my daily "deep thought". Suddenly this song makes sense now.
I think we all switchfoot fans, christian or not, can just be happy that they can unite us around their great musicianship. If like me you appreciate their lyrics, whether you find them just philosophical or deeply spiritual, I'm happy you enjoy them.
@meman278 dude, look it up. They're not a Christian band, they've said so themselves. They never even wanted to be called a Christian band but their record label got signed by Sparrow Records(a Christian label) before the release of their first album. They're Christians though, but they do not make Christian music.
they said they dont wanna be catigrized as a christian band becuz they feel like it will limit their listeners and make people not listen 2 them?if that made any scense......but regardless of what they say by their content tey can be easily regarded as a christain band (sorry matt :).....dowzer ignore the sorry matt part
Switchfoot is not nor have they ever been a Christian band. the only reason people think that they are is because the record label that they signed to got bought by Sparrow Records. They're Christians in a band, but not a Christian band.
Switchfoot has actually denied being a Christian band. the majority of their songs are about normal human struggles, such as depression, finding purpose, relationship problems. they also have songs about philosophy, such as Sooner or Later(Søren's Song), the Søren referenced is Søren Kierkegaard who was a Danish philosphy. But they do look at these topics from a Christian viewpoint.
I like Switchfoot, because they aren't a Christian band, but are Christians who happen to be in a band. They lyrics are much deeper and speak to me more than most of the stuff I most associate with Christian music.
@amazingguitaristk music has a hidden meaning that can tear at you subconiciously, listen to some songs by disturbed, when you listen to a few songs some sound good, you read the lyrics its praising all sorts of junk, and yet if you never look into it it can be ripping at you without you knowing it
contract pending on eternity means....! it is the contract in heaven it is only approved when after death. our life here on earth is just temporary so now that we are still alive the real contract is in heaven so we have to loos all our plan here on earth coz all of this things are nothing...
It basically talks about being a loser for Christs sake...for the world hates Christians...because they bear witness against its selfish works. Not arrogantly...but tenderly by example. Pride is not of Christ. Christians are the servants of all. The lowest in this world...but the greatest in the next. The only winners in the big scheme of things...along with God and angels. The dark kingdom will come to an end. Repent, love and obey Jesus. If you do not obey he says that you don't love Him.
Ok serously if u dnt like christians or catholics den ignore the comments and shut up. its a religion. i have friends who r muslum an jewish an lutheran and i dont see any difference between them and me or anyone else. who cares if a band is a christian band? their music is still good right? just listen to the band and dnt bother with the religion stuff. but it is good to have a religion and i prefer catholic.
"Whoever does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple" - Jesus
"He who finds his life in this life will lose it, if you lose your life for my sake you will find it" - Jesus
"And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple." - Jesus.
I encourage you to read and obey Jesus. Get a new testament and you will inherit eternal life if you trust in Him for forgiveness and go on and obey Him. If not then punishment must and will come...for he is the just judge.
