More quotes by 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.
Jon Foreman
We were meant to live for so much more.
Jon Foreman
Most of the time a spark of beauty or truth will start a fire of a song but fires rarely produce goodness on their own ... you need to control them and put them to work.
Jon Foreman
I look for places where there's no one out on the water. I'd rather surf a wave to myself than fight a crowd.
Jon Foreman
I want to be a compassionate soul, finding worth and beauty in the worlds around me and within me, attempting to sing a transcendent tune with my temporal position in this life.
Jon Foreman
I love a good pop song. I have no problem with the concept of doing that sort of thing. For me, it's usually what I'm inspired by, what I'm thinking about.
Jon Foreman
There’s nothing that you can sell me that can make me happy.

The easiest thing to do is throw a rock. It's a lot harder to create a stained glass window. I used to get upset at the people who threw rocks but now I'd rather spend my time building the stained glass windows.

Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.
Jon Foreman
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love another.
Jon Foreman
Hope is not a substitute for pain. Hope is in spite of pain.

I'm not really one to be on camera, I'd rather be writing songs.
Jon Foreman
If you can have a couple of tight friends that you can tell things to, that you can say, 'Hey, this is what I'm struggling with,' and then pray and talk about it, then that's an incredible thing.
Jon Foreman
As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.
Jon Foreman
For me, the good songs are the ones that come really naturally. There are certain songs that you rework and rewrite and the craft becomes very evident, but a lot of times those aren't my favorite songs. The favorite songs are the ones that I can't even hear my own voice in.
Jon Foreman
That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.
Jon Foreman
Music is mere tuning a song with words to some degree you have a beautiful endeavor of cosigning God's blank checks and you're actually co-creating. You're certainly not the creator with the capital C, but you're embarking on an endeavor, you're using the building blocks that have been given to you by the author of time and space.
Jon Foreman
If comparison is the thief of joy, then our culture is being robbed blind.
Jon Foreman
I simply want the music to to find its way to open-minded people.
Jon Foreman
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.
