More quotes by Jon Foreman
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.
Jon Foreman
It was a beautiful letdown, the day I knew, that all the riches this world had to offer me, will never do.
Jon Foreman
Live rather than talk. Talk is cheap and the tabloids scream about it every day.
Jon Foreman
I’ve never used music to sell my faith and I’ve never used faith to sell my music. I think they are both intrinsic parts of who I am. We’ve always tried to define our music outside of genres…what is a genre? A genre’s a cage or a box and for us our music is best with fangs and some claws running free in the wild.
Jon Foreman
Let me know that you hear me, let me know Your touch, let me know that You love me, and let that be enough
Jon Foreman
Music will always be judged by our subjective ears.
Jon Foreman
I wanna be a part of the generation that throws out money, throws out time, throws out all that we are against something bigger than ourselves.
Jon Foreman
I think that's the beauty of live music - creating from the destruction.

It's really hard to fit a complex idea into a 3-minute pop song. And when you're dealing with issues that you're passionate about, usually they have various levels. And within a poem, you can get around the issue of space, and in a song the same way, by simply leaving holes and alluding to what you're talking about.
Jon Foreman
We were meant to live for so much more.
Jon Foreman
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.
Jon Foreman
What do we really want to say to the world? Three main themes. The inability to find completion in our modern society, the inability to find completion within ourselves, and the new way to be human in what Christ offers us - His love and His perfect plan of redemption for us.
Jon Foreman
I've never really had a desk job, but I've died one day at a time all over the place.
Jon Foreman
Hope is not something you can just place in your back pocket or put your fingers around – it’s the belief in a world that has yet to exist.
Jon Foreman
There’s nothing that you can sell me that can make me happy.
Jon Foreman
I use to think that the friction was a bad thing. Everything is to ease pain in our society pain is very much the enemy. And I don't think that's true. Tension is a good thing. To be pulled tight: that's the only way you can make a proper noise on the guitar or violin.
Jon Foreman
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.
Jon Foreman
You wake up, you wake up, another day, you wake up, you wake up, traffic still moving at the same speed, our eyes looking at the same speed, our minds thinking at the same speed, I wanna see movement, I wanna see change. I wanna wake up for real. I wanna wake up. I wanna wake up. We were meant to live.

Paste just might be my favorite music magazine. They have shed light on many incredible, under-appreciated folks over the years, helping me find new tunes to accompany me through life. We were honored to give a song in return.
Jon Foreman
My dying planet needs to see what the body of Christ looks like.
