Liking Switchfoot :)

I just got a copy of Jon Foreman’s EP songs. When I listened to it, I just remembered why I like Switchfoot. It’s because their songs somewhat explains what I feel inside. Knowing someone out there has the same thoughts as me, probably the same experiences as me, maybe not exactly the same but at least, a part of it.

Their songs, tells a story (most of it I could relate too). I think their lyrics ain’t made to be just plain simple words but composed of deep thoughts of a deep sense of deeper meaning.

I’ve started liking Switchfoot I think back in 2005 or 2006 during “Nothing is Sound” Album. Well that year was the first time I heard their songs or heard about them.. And it’s not because of A Walk to Remember movie (though I did like that movie). It was after I started downloading Switchfoot songs that I came to know that theirs was the original Only Hope song. :D

I watched their concert in the Philippines, it was the first and only time I’ve been in a Band concert. And it was great, SF really did amazing in their concert.

Funny thing is.. The thoughts I had when the concert was about to finish came out in one of Jon Foreman’s EP. That is.. “I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone, I’m gonna miss you in your songs.” That I would really miss these guys knowing that they would leave after the concert and come back to their country. That it would take a long time to see them again (but hopefully still will). I cannot even want to think that the time would come that they will stop doing songs and retire.. But as Jon sang it, “Please, don’t talk about the end,” so, I’ll just look forward to more of them in the music buzz.

SF seems to be a simple band but rocks really hard, not much exposure but really made a noise in all the places they’ve been, in the hearts of all the listeners. For me, not typical at all. Peace out. :D
