Why is it that everything is collapsing if gravity is pulling us together?
Jon Foreman

I usually write from my own experience, and that's definitely a true statement for me. I think having a song about desiring to live and wanting to get it right, which many of my songs do, often I have to clarify that I haven't figured it out yet.

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love another.

Sometimes it can be really hard in our fast paced society to slow ourselves down enough to begin to listen to God's voice. The dilemma exists in my position as well. To be a follower of Christ is to emulate Him. When He went off alone into the desert to pray, He was teaching a valuable lesson.

I am often tempted to think of success in terms that are defined by others: records sold, popularity gained, album reviews, etc. These are impossible demands, however, and they can never be satisfied. Letting finite others define our worth is a horrible way to live. Only the Infinite Other [God] has the authority to do this.

I'm not really one to be on camera, I'd rather be writing songs.

I began thinking about the idea of a 24 hour concert. What if you tied songs to certain hours of the day - creating a 24 hour world of lyric and melody. So that was the inspiration for this project.

When our world falls apart and we have no more faces to wear - that’s when it’s beautiful, and that’s when we change.

When I'm happy, when I'm enjoying life, I'm home, I'm surfing, I'm spending time with my wife, my friends and I'm not thinking about the pain. And then the moment I encounter something that feels difficult, I feel like that's when, for me, I turn to writing and thinking and maybe a song comes from that.

If we spend our time obsessing with the future or regretting the past, then we will never live. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow and yesterday cannot be changed.

Switchfoot is a surfing term… To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change and movement, a different way of approaching life and music.

Music is admitted under the skin without permission.

Your story matters, who you are matters, tonight matters, none of it is an accident. You were born for the blue skies.
Jon Foreman
Image
That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.

Maybe truth is not something that I can possess. Maybe truth is something which possesses me.
Jon Foreman

I try to write songs just for the song itself. I don't try and think about where it's going to end up, that way you're writing for the good of the song.
Jon Foreman
Image
For me songs are born out of the gray space, the things I don't fully understand, the things that I can't put in my pocket.

I think surfing and music are both places of release and self expression where there are no rules, and you can find a different form of freedom that you can't anywhere else.
Jon Foreman
Image
I love the idea that you can create a world through song.
