Got this album (The Beautiful Letdown) for $0.25 at a yard sale. The whole CD is great, but this song, and "On Fire" are probably the best songs on it.
seriously good music is good music, regardless of where it comes from... christians kick ass if they can jam out like this! Im not a christian by the way....
@fedthefukup IT COMES FROM THE MOVEMENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THEIR SPIRITS...THEY ARE SURRENDERED VESSELS......OUTSTANDING. PRAISING GOD WITH EVERY NOTE
@JamesBamf85 and @Skullz930 please don't curse while listening to these guys, i don't appreciate it, and switchfoot doesn't appreciate it, because we worship Someone who doesn't appreciate it. thanks
This is the first song I played when I started learning bass. I love them to bits!!! Switchfoot don't need to be mainstream, they're great enough to topple mainstreams!!!
@dukefan24112 yeah,but nowadays people sing about "bump that pussy" and Beyonce jirates infront of the camera which is offensive to many people including myself but no one says anything about that! Its like we get all insulted when ppl say something about God or hope or salvation...or postive things in general. no one wants to hear about that. MTV or somethingcant censor Eminem wen he swears but they sensor THIS band for saying SALVATION?? evryone wants salvtion-religious or not:(
Hey guy! I did a cover for this rocking song.Check it out. Just type Switchstrings and the videos will pop up.Visit our channel for the covers of "Your love is a song""The Sound".If you like it click the"LIKE" button.Please leave comments.Enjoy! More Switchfoot covers are on the way!!!!
Defs one of the best songs ever written and they didn't ruin it by saying "god" or "lord" or anything. It's kinda like, if its about god, They know it, he knows it, thats good enough, they aren't trying to ram it down your throat.
why does every switchfoot video have some argument about the christianity of this band? i don't think switchfoot would appreciate it at all.:(
just to get things clear. switchfoot IS christian by faith. they have and always will be. they decided to detach themselves from the label of being a "christian" band because they felt it was limiting their musical possibilities and the people they could reach out to.
@MoreLikeMe929 also, jon has always said that their songs could work on two levels. one is the religious aspect of it and other times it could be a song simply about existence or love.
switchfoot is great. and them being christian and not being afraid to share that makes me appreciate them even more.
now, can we just all agree that they are amazing and appreciate the music?:)
switchfoot is better then most the un godly bands out there maybe if ppl started listening to switchfoot demon hunter toby mac and all the other good bands the world wouldnt be so messed up
@jyfarber its cool because they broke away from mainstream to become independent.. they arent in it for the money.. but to spread a good message to people
The "Salvation is here" part is not in this performance because this song was cut into a live performance version for TV and they only had so much time to perform which made them have to cut out the "Salvation is here+Guitar solo" part of the song.
I read about the meaning of this song in different websites and the more i read the lyrics the more i think people are wrong...what if the song is a question posed by the singer or the band...in the first verse he sings about being brought to the world (basicly creation) and then he speaks about daring a person to move ( maybe not in the figurative way but in both figurative and literal way) like today never happened before...like being created never happened before...i know i might be wrong....
Other than skipping the "Salvation is here" (which is one of the most excellent parts of the song), you've gotta admit that this is an AMAZING performance of theirs!! :)
Jon Foreman's solo stuff is amazing , great worship music , he gives God the glory
@Atreeisatree he should listen to it Jon clearly sing about God's Salvation threw Christ even in switchfoot latest cd Hello hurricane - Free, Aways etc...
... i really gotta stop reading the comments on youtube...... i came here to listen to some good music and here i find all this garbage...... i know i want to comment back on behalf of the Atheists and Agnostics but then i would start a flame war with you religious types...... whatever forget it i just wanna listen to music so SHUT UP ALL OF YOU AND JUST ENJOY THE DAMN SONG!
Switchfoot denied God in this performance.. God will deny them at heaven's gates.
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
@aTreeIsaTree switchfoot did not deny God if you listen to what he is actually saying and you will see its about God so who are you to judge them? Just because he doesn't actually use the words God or Jesus doesn't mean they are denying him, many many many infact most other music is so far from being about God and is actually about the 'other side' so, do not judge your brothers in christ they are bringing positive music into a broken fallen world.
Jesus died on the cross for them and they can't even say "salvation is here"? They do not say what is the truth? Reality check- Salvation IS here. Whether Switchfoot acknowledges it or refuses to, SALVATION IS HERE!!!
God will only acknowledge those who acknowledge Him.
@aTreeIsaTree They have been asked to cut that part out on television performances, it also happened at the hard rock live performance so it wouldnt offend anyone.
@aTreeIsaTree Dude, Switchfoot does acknowledge that. I've met the guys, and seen them play, and they do everything they do to praise God. And remember the part "salvation is here" wasn't added untill they came out with the second version of the song, and following it they added a guitar solo, which is also missing in this performance. My guess is that this the first version they're playing.
Maybe there is more than one truth and more than one realtiy? The only thing I believe in is that every human being on this planet should be able to decide which truth or believe they choose for themselves.
@aTreeIsaTree take it easy man, maybe they didnt play that part because its super high vocally and jons voice already sounded strained . you dont know their reasons, and its not your place to judge them
Not getting into an argument or debate here, but just because A band sings about stuff to do with Relgion doesn't make them a "Christian" rock band. Switchfoot are an alternative rock band, if you want christian stuff, please, go listen to Creed.
@Ledgendwood if they arent a christian band then why did i see them at Creation this year? u dont have to be ashamed to say you like a christian band (if u are idk im just saying that to everyone)
Actully, when they signed with Sony the big guys said that they couldn't say anything about God or Jesus on stage or in their music, so they had to work around that... but hey, now they've worked back to being independt and release one of their most spiritualy deep albums to date... not to mention all of Jon's solo stuff
No...i've seen Christian performances where they took out the salvation is here and solo line due to time...I think it was a time issue...even though i've seen other artist get wayyy more time on Letterman..so it might also be a q-score issue
I think you guys are missing the reason Switchfoot went "mainstream". It wasn't for the money. If someone hears this song and likes it they go and buy the cd which has lyrics about salvation and other topics that cover the gospel. Bands like P.O.D., Anberlin, Mae... they're all Christian bands that have a mainstream audience. Personally I say more power to them and I pray that God would continue to bless your ministry!
@EliAdelman I don't doubt what your saying at all. But there are also bands out there that have used the christian market just to get a record deal.They hid behind Christianity until they get noticed and all of a sudden, Christianity goes out the door and they want nothing to do with it. Perfect examples would be 12 stones, BlessTheFall, Chevelle, All That Remains and the most popular one...Creed.
@Haveada Yeah...Squint Records, who, ironically, ripped them off. I mean the quality of that album was horrid, ugh don't get me started on that one. lol...In fact, their father company produced Amy Grant, and alot of big time gospel artists. I can't remember the name of it though.
@gregmyersjr Really dude, Chevelle? Are you tht much of an idiot? They didnt pretend to be a Christian rock band, nor did they ever say they were. There songs were labeled under Christian and there songs were distributed to Christian marketin areas. Peter himself said he kept the bands faith out of their music. And Creed wasnt doin it either. There songs are abt spirituality, not religion. There's a big difference buddy. Get your facts right before you start criticizing bands.

@BadassRaiden hey, man. Chill out. I'm not criticizing anyone. I was just pointing something out. Not criticizing, preaching or hating at all. Personally, I love Chevelle. They're a great band! And I love Creed too. Creed was the 1st rock band that I started listening to and are who got me into rock. Just calm down, dude. No hate...

i don't see why people can't just say what they want that's religious. Do people really get that offended? "Someone has different beliefs and opinions than me? And they have the audacity to speak their mind? How dare they!?!"
my guess is that there was a time slot that they had to fit the song in (like they have on most late night shows) that's why they took out the solo and salvation line. I'm pretty sure Letterman didn't tell them to take it out because it was religious.
they did. this is old news. they left theyre record label and created their own. hello hurricane was produced by the same guy who produced their first three albums.
if that's true that letterman's show can sensor religious phrases, that's crazy, because there's a lot worse stuff that people say in songs than that.
@Danz2003 after Jon sings "Where you gonna go, Where you gonna go?" he is supposed to sing a very high "Salvation is here." But he doesn't in this version because Letterman probably didn't want all the Christian-phobes to go nuts over it.
Look up the music video for dare you to move and fast forward to 2:50 and listen to the end of the bridge. You'll see what I mean.
@Heelincal12 oh yea i see what you mean. i think thats ridiculous that they would have to censor one line in a christian bands song for fear of offending people! Would they do they same if it was in fear of offending a christian I wonder?
@Danz2003 of course they wouldn't! Look at all the songs which feature harsh language, and the songs that have suggestive sexual lyrics, people throw a GD around as casual as talking about the weather nowadays. Is it offensive? To me, yes. Do they care? Of course not, as long as they're bringing in the money by doing so.
I'm so far away from being christian but I love this band!!

But there are also bands out there that have used the christian market just to get a record deal.They hid behind Christianity until they get noticed and all of a sudden, Christianity goes out the door and they want nothing to do with it. Perfect examples would be 12 stones, BlessTheFall, Chevelle, All That Remains and the most popular one...Creed.

@gregmyersjr Umm, Creed is an actual Christian band you dumbass. And Chevelle never pretended to be a Christian band. Are you really that stupid?

@Haveada Yeah...Squint Records, who, ironically, ripped them off. I mean the quality of that album was horrid, ugh don't get me started on that one. lol...In fact, their father company produced Amy Grant, and alot of big time gospel artists. I can't remember the name of it though.

@gregmyersjr Really dude, Chevelle? Are you tht much of an idiot? They didnt pretend to be a Christian rock band, nor did they ever say they were. There songs were labeled under Christian and there songs were distributed to Christian marketin areas. Peter himself said he kept the bands faith out of their music. And Creed wasnt doin it either. There songs are abt spirituality, not religion. There's a big difference buddy. Get your facts right before you start criticizing bands.

@BadassRaiden hey, man. Chill out. I'm not criticizing anyone. I was just pointing something out. Not criticizing, preaching or hating at all. Personally, I love Chevelle. They're a great band! And I love Creed too. Creed was the 1st rock band that I started listening to and are who got me into rock. Just calm down, dude. No hate...

@EliAdelman so you think its about the gospel. Not because they like to make music?

i don't see why people can't just say what they want that's religious. Do people really get that offended? "Someone has different beliefs and opinions than me? And they have the audacity to speak their mind? How dare they!?!"

my guess is that there was a time slot that they had to fit the song in (like they have on most late night shows) that's why they took out the solo and salvation line. I'm pretty sure Letterman didn't tell them to take it out because it was religious.
drtodd0 2 years ago
the reason why they block the religous parts isnt because letterman prefers sex comments over it,
its because everyone argues over religion like its important or some shit.
everyone starts arguing what they think is right and it just makes a big ass scene.

if that's true that letterman's show can sensor religious phrases, that's crazy, because there's a lot worse stuff that people say in songs than that.

probably left it out becuz its a pretty hard note to hit live.

.... and since letterman's show told them to censor it. ;) Trust me, he can hit that note live.

@Heelincal12 told them to censor what?
Danz2003 1 year ago
@Danz2003 after Jon sings "Where you gonna go, Where you gonna go?" he is supposed to sing a very high "Salvation is here." But he doesn't in this version because Letterman probably didn't want all the Christian-phobes to go nuts over it.
Look up the music video for dare you to move and fast forward to 2:50 and listen to the end of the bridge. You'll see what I mean.
Heelincal12 1 year ago
@Heelincal12 oh yea i see what you mean. i think thats ridiculous that they would have to censor one line in a christian bands song for fear of offending people! Would they do they same if it was in fear of offending a christian I wonder?
Danz2003 1 year ago
@Danz2003 Yeah it's a double standard. To be honest tho, I was stoked that they got on Letterman's in the first place!
Heelincal12 1 year ago
@Danz2003 of course they wouldn't! Look at all the songs which feature harsh language, and the songs that have suggestive sexual lyrics, people throw a GD around as casual as talking about the weather nowadays. Is it offensive? To me, yes. Do they care? Of course not, as long as they're bringing in the money by doing so.
dukefan24112 1 year ago
no, hew hits that note live all the time. Letterman most likely made em take it out :(

it,s because when you play at letterman, they can tell you to put parts of the song aside ..like if it's religious or if it needs to be censcored.
