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

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.
